| Last Tango in Halifax | comment |
A British dramedy series created by Sally Wainwright and airing on The BBC from 2012 to 2020.Due to a failure in communication back in the 1950s, Alan Buttershaw (Derek Jacobi) and Celia Dawson (Anne Reid) never got the chance to go on their first date. Over the decades, they meet and marry other people, have children, and are both widowed. They are reunited 50 years later when their respective grandsons add them on Facebook and they rekindle their relationship over email. The day they meet up again for the first time they decide to get married, much to the initial dismay of their daughters from their respective first marriages, Gillian (Nicola Walker) and Caroline (Sarah Lancashire).Alan lives with Gillian and her teenage son Raff (Josh Bolt) on their farm near Halifax. He moved in after his son-in-law Eddie died about ten years ago after what was allegedly an accident. Eddie's brother Robbie (Dean Andrews), a copper and bike enthusiast, is still on the scene, taking Raff out for rides and antagonising Gillian. Celia lives with Caroline and her two grandsons, William (Edward Ashley) and Lawrence (Louis Greatorex). Caroline is an Oxford graduate who is the headmistress of Sulgrave Heath, a prestigious public school. Her estranged husband John (Tony Gardner), a washed-up novelist and academic, has turned up at their door after realising that Judith (Ronni Ancona), the woman he left Caroline for, is an alcoholic; Caroline allows him to move back in for the sake of their kids. For the same reason, she also calls off her relationship with Kate (Nina Sosanya), one of the teachers at Sulgrave. | |

No Accounting for Taste | |
| Last Tango in Halifax / int_12040009 | comment |
No Accounting for Taste: Having failed to get back in touch with Alan and a subsequent boyfriend taking up with her sister, Celia ended up being thoroughly miserable with her first husband Kenneth, with the two of them only ever speaking to each other if they had to. This had a knock-on effect on Caroline, who admitted that she grew up never knowing how to make a proper relationship happen. It seems that she and John were probably really good friends in the past, but when she tells her mum that she's "too old to pretend", this suggests that their relationship was always a pretence for her on some level. While Caroline probably wasn't as unhappy as her mum was, it's interesting that they both ended up making what is essentially the same mistake. | |

No Bisexuals | |
| Last Tango in Halifax / int_5679208c | comment |
No Bisexuals: John is horrified when he finds out that Caroline has been seeing Kate because he thinks it means that Caroline must have been faking it every time she had sex with him. It doesn't cross his mind that wife might be bisexual and simply met someone new after he left her. To be honest though, the evidence does seem to suggest that Caroline is gay - her dig at John's manuscript may be indirect, but it's as close as she gets to attaching a label to herself. There are however indications of Kate being Ambiguously Bi, given that she has had previous relationships with men, such as Greg, her friend from university. She also never says exactly why her marriage to Richard fell apart. It could just as easily been from the strain of her pregnancy troubles as it could have been a consequence of her coming out as gay later in life. This comes up again in series 5, when Caroline talks with one of her subordinate teachers about her relationships with John and Kate, the teacher immediately interprets this as her being gay all along (and that she was making a pass at her). On the other hand, in the same series John does bring up the possibility of Caroline not being completely homosexual, and while it's presented as him continuing to delude himself into thinking he may have a chance at reconciling with her, it's still more of an acknowledgement of the concept of bisexuality than the first two series ever had. | |

Coming-Out Story: Caroline tried to come out to her mum while she was a student, but Celia took it very badly and told her never to tell anyone else, especially Kenneth. One failed marriage and two kids later, she starts up a relationship with Kate. She tells John that she has been seeing "someone", which he is not very gracious about considering he cheated on her with Judith before he walked out. When Caroline clarifies that this someone is not a he, John gets drunk and maliciously outs her to Celia. | |

Good Girls Avoid Abortion: Averted by Gillian when she was 15 and still at school.

Shout-Out | |
| Last Tango in Halifax / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: The title of the show is a pun on Last Tango in Paris. Fortunately it doesn't share any other similarities with that film. When Caroline reads from John's manuscript, it describes Gillian's thinly-veiled stand-in as having the body of a 16-year-old boy, leading Caroline to joke that she's not the only gay in the village. | |

All Lesbians Want Kids | |
| Last Tango in Halifax / int_f7dd67de | comment |
All Lesbians Want Kids: Kate wants a baby. At 42 and with four previous miscarriages, she doesn't want to waste any time. Caroline is more hesitant on the matter, thinking Kate will only end up being disappointed when it doesn't work out. The storyline does dabble some of this trope's hallmark clichés by having it at least partly focus on the sperm-quest and having Kate opt for insemination via sex, but it does try to rationalise it by having Kate say that that was what was most likely to work when compared with any artificial methods. However, once Kate gets pregnant with the help of her friend Greg, she doesn't feel any particular need to involve him any further. All of this ends in tragedy with Kate's death in Series 3, though the doctors are able to save her daughter, who Caroline names Flora. | |
