How it feels

Each episode follows different characters in a seaside town as they face a decision about love or relationships. The stories are separate but sometimes connect, and the actors helped create the dialogue through improv.

What happens

True Love is a five-episode 2012 semi-improvised BBC television drama, which began on BBC One on 17 June 2012. Each episode is a self-contained story (though there is some cross-over between all the episodes), devised through improvisation (a first for BBC One drama), exploring an issue related to love and relationships. True Love had its first public screening at the Turner Contemporary in Margate on 29 March 2012. The series premiered on 17 June 2012 on BBC One, the remaining four episodes being stripped across the next three nights, with the final two airing as a double-bill on 20 June. True Love was originally titled Love Life but was re-titled to avoid confusion with an ITV series with the same title. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
