The adverts have been airing on BBC1 for weeks and now viewers have had their first look at new drama Marriage.
And what a stellar list of stars the series boasts, with the Marriage cast led by acclaimed actors Sean Bean and Nicola Walker. Sean and Nicola play couple Ian and Emma who have been together for 30 years. In a plot line that will no doubt resonate with many viewers, the show sees them deal with all the highs and lows of a long-lasting relationship, as well as dealing with their own insecurities and concerns about the future.
Sean, who shot to huge TV fame in Sharpe back in the 1990s and Nicola, most famous for her lead role in Unforgotten, aren't the only big names in the cast either, as New Tricks star James Bolam appears in Marriage as Nicola's on-screen dad Gerry. After plenty of hype on TV and bags of anticipation from viewers, Marriage finally got going on BBC One on Sunday, August 14, although some viewers had a major complaint to make almost immediately.
