The Last Anniversary is a comedy-drama with a tangled web of lies to be unravelled.
Sue Deeks, head of BBC Programme Acquisition, said: “The Last Anniversary is an entertaining drama full of vivid characters, comedy and romance, with a compelling mystery at its heart – I’m sure BBC viewers will thoroughly enjoy their visit to beautiful Scribbly Gum Island.”

Set on Scribbly Gum Island, it is a place of many secrets, including one which made it famous – the disappearance of a young couple decades earlier.
For Sophie, single and approaching 40, the house is the fresh start she’s been craving, despite the unwelcome reception she receives on arrival.
