Marriage on BBC1 sees married couple Ian (Sean Bean) and Emma (Nicola Walker) negotiate the ups and downs of their 27-year marriage. They've dealt with all the insecurities, the ambiguities, the hopes and the fears that are part of all marriages. The drama explores the risks and the gifts of a long-term intimate relationship.

When we first meet married couple Ian and Emma they’re in a Spanish airport returning from a lovely holiday — and bickering over a baked potato! By the time they’re on the plane it’s a full blown argument, setting the scene for what’s to come in this four-part series.

looks good

Terrible music too, safe to say I won't be watching again.

I'm struggling to see what the point was. What is this actually about? I won't be tuning in tomorrow to find out.

The music 😱

Umm not that bothered about it so far.
He's far too old for her, is that a warning for those who date/marry older men?

Rich house poor house was much better

and weirdly enough local to me. Didn’t expect that when turned over

I also didn't liked it. There are loads of people out there like that. The tedious clearing up and loading the dishwasher.
Reminds of my parents. Only they argue more.

Going against the grain here - I think it's got potential. Both great actors and there's some intriguing back stories.

That's a heck of a theme tune!!

Has she shagged Jamie?

Sometimes there is tension in families. Hate that buts it's true to life.

This is on tomorrow on bbc 3. Red rose

here

I'm now watching Alan Carr's Adventures with Agatha Christie although the DDog wants to go to bed. I've got a feeling the DDog will win...

What was all that with the girl at the leisure centre about?

I liked the realism of the sets. The kitchen side being a mess etc. Office looked reasonable complete with passive aggressive staff

I think I may just watch DH snoring on the sofa next episode, it will be just as interesting.

i can't decide whether it was intriguing or dull 🤔

I found the scenes at the gym unwatchable.

I'll probably watch tomorrow to see how it pans out.

I'm wondering where that's going to go. To me it seemed realistic, he was obviously trying to flirt with her but just came across as a creep.

Well, that was a disappointing yawn fest and that music was horrendous.

I dozed off....

Did the music wake you up?

Odd, slow, tedious … but strangely watchable!

I’m watching on delay - it’s unbearable! Such a disappointment giving the potential…

CPTP it did, horrendous. Shan't be bothering again, I've got The Secrets She Keeps to catch up with tomorrow :)

I see I’m in the minority but I’m rather intrigued about the dead child (?) the controlling boyfriend, the leisure centre woman, the hiding brother, the weird coldness but then not with the relationship. I’ll watch tomorrow.

There’s only ten years or so between Sean Bean and Nicola Walker, I IMDBed them.

I missed a couple of bits, which seems to include the dead child. Please can someone tell me about that bit?

I don’t know whether to watch last 30m of tonight’s …..
