Channel 4's latest romantic drama Alice & Jack tells the story of two friends who are said to have a connection "so powerful it seems nothing can break it."
But although the pair's relationship seems perfect from the start, questions of whether their paths will lead them to a place of happiness and togetherness soon arise.
Set over 16 years, Alice & Jack shows the highs and lows of imperfect lovers as they face the complexities of life and love.
The new Channel 4 drama has been described as similar to the BBC's Normal People by the Radio Times, but with a side of 'slow burn'.
Alice & Jack stars Academy Award-nominated actor and producer Andrea Riseborough who is best known for appearing in films To Leslie, Oblivion, Mandy, Battle of the Sexes and Birdman.
It's the day before Valentine's Day and you know something special's coming...

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
