Bernardine Evaristo 's novel Mr Loverman is being adapted for a new BBC drama.

It tells the story of a married 74-year-old Antiguan -born Londoner who has been having a love affair with his best friend for 60 years .

The eight -part BBC drama starring Line of Duty's Lennie James is based in Hackney , east London .

As for what she's hoping will be the reaction to the series, Evaristo says she wants people to "love it, clearly", but also "to feel that they've never seen anything like it before". "I want people to feel that they have somehow been enlightened about people living lives that they may not be familiar with." All episodes of Mr Loverman will be available on BBC iPlayer from 06:00 BST on 14 October , with the first two parts of the series being shown later that evening on BBC One .
