In the series, the couple\u2019s marriage is tested when Emma is invited along to a two-day conference by her younger boss Jamie, who Ian is suspicious of. Jamie is played by Henry Lloyd-Hughes, who teased that the conference \u201cis where the show has been leading to\u201d, although he also said that \u201cin many ways it\u2019s just a conference\u201d.<\/p>\n
He said: \u201cIt\u2019s the most unglamorous thing in the world and Jamie spends a lot of time pretending he is too cool for it and has no interest, but also that it is sexy and that he is a big deal there.<\/p>\n
\u201cFor Emma, it\u2019s tied in with her ambitions and another level of her career hopes and that Jamie has chosen her and only her. In name and spirit it\u2019s a promotion to be taken to the conference as his right hand person. Of course, from Ian\u2019s point of view, this is a real crack in their long held and very real marriage.\u201d<\/p>\n

But only Stefan can do that and that\u2019s why it\u2019s brilliant. The conference is the showdown!\u201d<\/p>\n
Lloyd-Hughes\u2019s description of the drama\u2019s more intimate, smaller-scale drama matches with comments made by Sean Bean<\/a>, who said that \u201cthere aren\u2019t any big stunts or reveals\u201d in the series, and that \u201cit\u2019s just a very simple story; simply told, about people and the complications of daily life\u201d.<\/p> You can read our\u00a0full review of Marriage right here<\/a>.<\/p>\n Marriage will air on BBC One and BBC iPlayer on Sunday 14th August at 9pm.
