But it's actually being repeated at three or five tomorrow morning.
So if you want, you could record it on BBC One, the first episode, and then catch up from next Friday.
I'm looking forward to the explosion that it sounds like it's going to be.
Wait for the halftime show with the hurling.
And then all those hamstrings pinging in the second half.
What are we expecting?
Yeah, or just a fantastic period drama, I suppose, as well.
It's one of her early novels, so it's not really Virginia Woolf's signature style, which doesn't really matter that much because the film plays fast and loose with the plot anyway.
It's set in 1910 in London when this very independent minded character called Catherine Hilbury...
who's played by Hayley Bennett, lovely performance, defies her family's expectations of marriage to pursue a career in astronomy.
So she's self-taught.
She wants to go to Cambridge, where even if they were taking women then, but you still couldn't get a degree.
You could do the course and not get a degree.
So it's a sort of challenge to Edwardian patriarchy, but as the suffragette movement advances in science and technology, and a great cast like Timothy Spall, Jennifer Saunders, Jack Whitehall,
who plays a chump who writes tedious essays about Elizabethan poetry, which you can perfectly see.
Solid period drama.
A rom-com, not a rom-com, yeah.
I thought I was going to really dislike this and I absolutely loved it.
Oh, great.
So 50-something Alice, who's played by Nicola Walker, who I thought was brilliant in Unforgotten, and Steve, who's Jermaine Clements, you might remember him from the vampire comedy, What We Do in the Shadows.
