Airdate: Love, Nina.

Next week BBC First premieres Love, Nina, a 5 part UK drama adapted by Nick Hornby (High Fidelity, About a Boy)

Set in the 1980s, this stars Faye Marsay as a girl from Leicester who moves to London to work as a nanny for single mother (Helena Bonham Carter).

It also features Jason Watkins (W1A), Joshua McGuire (Mr Turner), Ethan Rouse, Harry Webster.

Helena Bonham Carter stars alongside Faye Marsay in a charming, laugh-out-loud culture clash drama set in Bohemian North London in the 1980s.

Nina (Faye Marsay) is a plain-talking and free-spirited young woman from the East Midlands who accepts a job as a nanny for Joe and Max, the two young sons of the forthright and beautiful literary editor Georgia (Helena Bonham Carter). In doing so she finds herself living on a North London street jam-packed with some of the era’s most influential literary figures.

As much as Nina is baffled by the extended circle of friends and family and their crazy obsessions with garlic, fresh (as opposed to tinned) tomatoes and their frank exchanges of sexual gossip – they are equally bemused by Nina’s ability to get to the heart of things with her unpretentious, clearheaded appreciation of the important things in life.

Nick Hornby’s adaptation of Nina Stibbe’s award-winning book Love, Nina is a sparkling, life affirming drama celebrating family and friendship in all its chaotic glory.

Tuesdays at 8.30pm from November 1 on BBC First.
