There’s a welcome return of the series of one-off comedies, Urban Myths, which puts a slightly fantastical spin on key events in the lives of famous faces.
First up, a wonderful episode set in the Golden Age of Hollywood sees Gemma Arterton on sensational form as Marilyn Monroe, who’s having a tough time delivering a line on the set of her legendary movie Some Like It Hot.
Director Billy Wilder (James Purefoy) finds that his patience is wearing thin as his fragile star messes up take after take, but what can he do to ensure that she finally delivers?
The rest of the colourful series will air weekly but all episodes are available on demand after the first has gone out.
