Play for Today Air Dates


S02E01 - Wild Air Date: 25 September 2026 20:00 -

Sorry, but right now we don't have any sources for this episode.

A survival dramedy set in the breath-taking yet unforgiving Scottish Highlands. Lou, Dev, and Alistair, three old friends clinging to their annual wild camping tradition, begin with banter, nostalgia, and amateur vlogging, but soon unravel into a battle of egos, secrets, and survival when they get lost, food runs short, and friendships fracture. At once funny, poignant, and unsettling, Wild explores the line between adventure and recklessness, and how toxic masculinity has become a huge part of the epidemic decline in men's mental health.


S02E02 - Village Idiots Air Date: 02 October 2026 20:00 -

Sorry, but right now we don't have any sources for this episode.

Barbara is a ferociously stubborn English grandmother who literally chains herself to her beloved cottage when it's threatened with demolition by High Speed train developers. Peter is the company's smooth, painfully polite liaison dispatched to remove her - only to discover she's also his estranged grandmother. What follows is a gloriously awkward battle of wills: Barbara's weaponised stubbornness and talent for public protest versus Peter's frantic attempts to keep his corporate career (and dignity) intact. As their standoff snowballs into a small‑town circus of press, protestors, and well‑meaning locals, both are forced to reckon with what "home" really means — and whether blood ties can survive locked gates, padlocks, and a very watchful village. 


S02E03 - Closing Time Air Date: 09 October 2026 20:05 -

Sorry, but right now we don't have any sources for this episode.

Mo is a gifted migrant working in his uncle's kebab shop. Mo has always kept his culinary ambitions hidden until, during a late night of service, he meets Laila, a thoughtful lawyer trapped in a stagnant engagement. Their chance encounter begins a passionate affair built on late-night conversations and cooking sessions. As Laila encourages Mo to pursue his dreams despite his pending visa renewal, he challenges her to confront the life she's settled for.


S02E04 - The Quiet Hour Air Date: 16 October 2026 20:00 -

Sorry, but right now we don't have any sources for this episode.

A gripping, intimate drama set over the course of one relentless night shift in an NHS hospital. Riya is an overworked nurse battling exhaustion, guilt, and the ghosts of past mistakes, while Fred is a combative amputee whose presence becomes one of the night's most volatile challenges. As Riya grapples with a collapsing system, an understaffed ward, and a stream of emergencies — from dying patients to a medical error that nearly costs a life — her professional composure begins to fracture. Haunted by a past she can't quite escape and the growing distance from her teenage daughter, Riya's night spirals into a raw reckoning with compassion, burnout, and the quiet heroism that holds the health service together.
