THE NEWSREADER. BBC2. Sunday. 9pm. Tv pace only. No spoilers

A year on from the events of series one, audiences once again meet Helen Norville (Anna Torv) and Dale Jennings (Sam Reid), who are now established as ‘The Golden Couple of News’.

To the outside world, they present a glowing image of success and romance. But the truth is more complex…

Dale, although still honing his craft, has proved himself a steady and reliable co-anchor to Helen which impresses the new young CEO, Charlie Tate (Daniel Gillies), who has a very clear vision of the style of news he would like to see at ‘News at Six’.

Conversely, Helen’s mission to pursue and champion hard-hitting, uncompromising interviews has her at loggerheads with the new CEO…and she isn’t afraid to tell him what she thinks of his plans for the programme.

As 1987 rolls along, global stocks will soar and crash, Australia will prepare to celebrate its Bicentennial year, and Helen and Dale grapple with who they really want to be in life – and whether that path can be together…

Series one actors returning alongside Anna Torv and Sam Reid are: Robert Taylor (Longmire), Stephen Peacocke (Five Bedrooms, Whiskey Tango Foxtrot), William McInnes (Unfinished Sky, Blue Heelers), Chum Ehelepola (Lodge 49, Lady Dynamite), Michelle Lim Davidson (Utopia, Get Krack!n), Chai Hansen (The New Legends of Monkey) and Marg Downey (Fast Forward, Top of the Lake: China Girl). Philippa Northeast (Home & Away) will also be joining the cast for series two.

I seem to remember that I gave up on this, but you make it sound very interesting!

I remember series 1 , it was really very good , looking forward to seeing the new one , thanks @Blondeshavemorefun

Ooh thanks @Blondeshavemorefun !
I really enjoyed the first series (although I can't remember much of the detail)

@daffodilandtulip I loved it - possibly as I'm Old at 50 so was my era

Def worth a second try as was very good

@butterpuffed and @BoreOfWhabylon I don't really R.E.M. much tbh but R.E.M. it was good

And last episode recap

Thanks Blondes

So excited for this! And so glad they haven't put my heart throb Robert Taylor out to grass. Hope his ghastly wife keeps a low profile, mind.

I honestly thought the first one was one of the best dramas in years.

I really enjoyed the first one. Looking forward to this. Thanks @Blondeshavemorefun I need to read recap

@Blondeshavemorefun I'm an 80s child too! I might give it a second go...

So try it again @daffodilandtulip

I think it was one of the best programmes and tbh shame on bbc 2 as many would have missed it

Thanks @Blondeshavemorefun I missed this first time, but it sounds like it's well worth catching up with.

Def watch @martinisforeveryone Very good

Well that was my late afternoon and evening done. Thoroughly enjoyed series one and according to the Wiki page, strong rumours of a series three to be commissioned.

Glad you enjoyed roll on Thursday

Last chance to watch s1 before s2 starts tomorrow at 9pm

Great to see the show return , I could even remember bits of Series 1!

Loved tonights episode. All the tension.

I stated to watch but tired so will watch tomorrow and appreciate it properly as think one need to watch and saviour it as s1 was fab

excited that this was back.
enjoyed this
the daughter who stole from her mother was awful but i remember the mother was a cow

Loved it!
As I commented during S1, I was living in Melbourne throughout this time period and it brings it all back - the people, the places, the events. It captures them very well, unlike most 'period' dramas, which tend to be full of anachronisms.
I'm wondering if the daughter has a drugs habit.

and it was on again last night!
might have to binge

Just seen e1. Was fab

E2 was last night but I was out so will watch tomorrow probably as fireworks tonight
