‘Last Tango In Halifax’ episode 6 airs Wednesday, 19th December at 9pm on BBC One.

Celia reacts badly to John’s revelation that Caroline’s gay. When Caroline comes to try and talk to Celia about it the next day, Alan is struck and disappointed by Celia’s lack of warmth, kindness or understanding towards her daughter.

Caroline invites Celia and Alan to dinner to meet Kate, and Alan persuades a reluctant Celia to go. Celia makes no effort and speaks bluntly to Kate. Caroline takes Celia aside and their row can be heard at the table. Celia twists something Caroline said about Kate and Kate gets the wrong end of the stick. She leaves feeling humiliated. Everything between her and Caroline is over. Alan is sad and embarrassed that Celia has no misgivings about the damage she’s caused.

Over at Gillian’s farm, Robbie has been invited for dinner too. Gillian is warming to the idea of them making a go of it together, despite the fact that she pulled Caroline’s husband last night.

Alan returns to Halifax, crushed. He tells Gillian that he and Celia have reached the end of the line. It’s all over. Back in Harrogate a devastated Celia blames Caroline for ruining the one thing that has given her happiness. Caroline’s livid and tells Celia some terrible home truths. Friendless Celia hits rock bottom and is made to face her demons.

The next day Celia goes to the farm only to learn that Alan’s had a heart attack. Gillian tells her it’s bad; he’s not expected to recover. A distraught Celia keeps a vigil by his bedside, but has she now lost her soul mate forever?
