I've just spotted this news from The Stage:

Moving On, the BBC daytime drama series created by Jimmy McGovern, is to return to the BBC for a third series.

The series, which will feature five standalone dramas featuring actors such as Fay Ripley, Ben Daniels and Sally Phillips, will explore issues such as gambling addiction and teenage depression.

BBC daytime controller Liam Keelan, said: “It’s very exciting to have such a high profile cast for this series again and it will be something really special for our viewers to look forward to.”

Moving On is produced by LA Productions. It will be shown in November, with the five dramas broadcast across one week.

I've not seen the show myself, but more Ben on my telly is always welcome!

Ben's been in Bangkok this week, recording a new Radio 4 play called 'Pandemic', and he Tweeted some pics of himself which I thought I'd share:
