Following its premiere in Australia last month, Subotica and Aquarius Films’ TV adaptation of Jane Sanderson‘s Mix Tape has now come to our shores. All episodes will be released on iPlayer today, with the first episode airing on BBC2 at 9pm, followed by episode 2 tomorrow at 9pm and the last two episodes the following week.

The four-part series follows Daniel and Alison, moving between their teenage romance in 1989 Sheffield and the modern-day reality of their adult relationships living on opposite sides of the world. The pair reconnect through a song from their shared past and explore their burning curiosity to understand if this is the love, and the life, they were meant to have.

“Accompanied by an absolutely cracking 80s soundtrack, Mix Tape is an enjoyable blend of nostalgia, romance and heartbreak – it really is the perfect summer treat!” — Sue Deeks, Head of BBC Programme Acquisition

The show is already garnering terrific praise, like this four star review in the Guardian:

“it’s easy to fall for this sweet and intense romance… staged with lightness of touch and is a real pleasure to watch”
