We've not seen Last Tango in Halifax on screen since 2016, so fans of the show will be thrilled that our first glimpse at the highly-anticipated upcoming series is here.

The first pictures from the next instalment of Sally Wainwright’s BAFTA winning drama have been released, ahead of its return to BBC One in 2020.

Last Tango in Halifax season 4: What's it about?

Series leads Anne Reid, Derek Jacobi, Nicola Walker and Sarah Lancashire are seen reunited with Timothy West, making his return to Last Tango in Halifax.

"Alan (Derek Jacobi) and Celia (Anne Reid) are now seven years into their marriage but, having moved into a desirable bungalow with stunning views across the Calder Valley, they aren’t quite seeing eye to eye. It isn’t just their differing politics that’s a source of tension; Alan’s new supermarket job brings an unexpected challenge in the form of a wild local lad, and at Far Slack Farm Gillian (Nicola Walker) faces trouble with a giraffe," the BBC said.

"Meanwhile John (Tony Gardner) is back on the scene, and Caroline (Sarah Lancashire) finds herself entangled in an emotional debacle with someone at work. Into all of this jets Alan’s brother Ted (Timothy West) on holiday from New Zealand. But it turns out he’s only bought a one-way ticket… and he hasn’t come alone," the channel added.
