Julie is having a tough time with her new bloke, and Danno has a shameful secret to share. Starring Sue Johnston. From 2016.

Julie is having a tough time with her new bloke, and Danno has a secret to share with the group. A big secret. A shameful secret. A secret he thought he'd never have to reveal.

Continuing the award-nominated comedy drama set in Alcoholics Anonymous, written by Pete Jackson and inspired by his own road to recovery.

It follows the lives of five very different recovering alcoholics. Taking place entirely at their weekly meetings, we hear them moan, argue, laugh, fall apart, fall in love and - most importantly - tell their stories.

Julie...............Sue Johnston
Danno............Paul Kaye
Marion...........Julia Deakin
Fiona.............Rebecca Front
Simon............John Hannah
Andy..............Eddie Marsan

Writer Pete Jackson is a recovering alcoholic and has spent time in Alcoholics Anonymous. It was there he found support from the unlikeliest group of disparate souls - with one common bond. As well as offering the support he needed throughout a difficult time, AA also offered a weekly, sometimes daily, dose of hilarity, upset, heartbreak and friendship.

There are lots of different kinds of AA meetings. Love in Recovery is about meetings where people tell their stories. There are funny stories, sad stories, stories of small victories and milestones, stories of loss, stories of hope, and those stories that you really shouldn't laugh at - but still do, along with the storyteller.

Written and created by Pete Jackson
