A damaged relationship is stretched to its desperate limits in this drama. Anne (Emily Watson) and James (Tom Wilkinson) are a seemingly happy and prosperous British couple who divide their time between a flat in London and a house in the country. However, their marriage is not as contented as one might imagine, and for years James has turned a blind eye to just how deeply unhappy Anne has become with him. Their lives together reach a crossroads when Anne meets the handsome and charming Bill Bule (Rupert Everett); Anne becomes deeply infatuated with him, which only reinforces her dissatisfaction with James, but when the two become involved in an accident that kills another man, Bill drops out of the picture and James decides he must step forward to protect the woman he wed. Separate Lies was the directorial debut from screenwriter Julian Fellowes. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

The fifth and final season of the British "dramedy" Cold Feet was originally telecast between February 23 and March 16, 2003, yielding four 90-minute episodes. The three couples that seemed to be so happy at the outset of the season have all broken up. Fay Ripley briefly returns to the role of Jenny, ex-wife of Adam (James Nesbitt), who since his divorce has undergone an even briefer marriage to Jo Ellison (Kimberly Joseph). Likewise separated are David and Karen Marsden (Robert Bathurst, Hermione Norris), thanks largely to David's affair with Robyn Duff (Lucy Robinson). And after a brief period of optimism and contentment, live-in couple Adam Williams (James Nesbitt) and Rachel Bradley (Helen Baxendale) have been torn apart by the simple iniquities of everyday life. ~ Rovi

Season three of the British "dramedy" Cold Feet was originally telecast between November 12 and December 31, 2000. In this season's eight episodes, married couple David (Robert Bathurst) and Karen (Hermione Norris) discover that becoming parents again (this time it's twins) has not done much to improve their relationship; young marrieds Pete (John Thomson) and Jenny (Fay Ripley) wonder if their love is strong enough to survive Peter's adultery; and the romance of live-in couple Adam (James Nesbitt) and Rachel (Helen Baxendale) is rapidly deteriorating as well. A major bone of contention during the third season is the presence of Karen's alcoholic mother (Mel Martin), who has insisted upon moving in to help with the babies. This is the final season in which co-star Fay Ripley appears on a regular basis. ~ Rovi

In the course of season one, Adam and Rachel move in together, an arrangement complicated by the fact that Karen has not yet divorced her first husband; the birth of Peter and Jenny's baby brings about more headaches than expected, especially in sexual and professional matters; and David and Karen discuss the possibility of having a second child, only to have their plans shattered by David's business reverses and Karen's desire to sleep with another man. ~ Rovi
