The writer, who is already penning a second series, says: "I wanted it to have the simplicity of a cup and ball trick. You've got four cups, which one is it under? And for that to be completely surprising every time it happens. Just the simplicity of a conjuring trick."

I mean, if love doesn't make you do crazy things, what does?"as "a quality comedy-drama which never loses an element of surprise".
