13. Divorce

Sarah Jessica Parker is coming back to HBO, back to the role that made her famous, and back to television for a first leading part since Sex and the City ended in 2004.

That's a pretty big deal for HBO, given the importance of Carrie Bradshaw and co to the network, and a smart move from SJP, whose film career hasn't really taken off.

Divorced will go in an opposite direction to SATC, focusing on a woman (Parker) going through a divorce and trying to make a fresh start. What is really exciting though is that it's being created by Sharon Horgan, one of the brains behind the terrific sitcom Catastrophe. That paints a painfully funny and realistic picture of grown-up relationships, and this should do something similar with divorces.

NCTJ-qualified journalist. Most definitely not a racing driver. Drink too much tea; eat too much peanut butter; watch too much TV. Sadly only the latter paying off so far. A mix of wise-old man in a young man's body with a child-like wonder about him and a great otherworldly sensibility.
