Too Good to Be True is a two-part British television drama thriller, written by William Humble and directed by Sarah Harding, that first broadcast on ITV between 22 and 23 September 2003.[1] The series stars Peter Davison and Niamh Cusack as Robert and Tina Lewis, a happily divorced couple with a modern relationship and two children, who live with their mother. Robert is remarried to a younger career woman, but reacts very badly when, after four years of being single, Tina begins a new relationship with Matthew (Adrian Lukis). And when his attempts to sabotage his ex-wife’s new relationship fail, his jealousy escalates out of control and his obsession turns her new life into a growing nightmare that threatens to destroy his own marriage, his children and everything he holds dear.[1]

The first episode of Too Good to Be True attracted 7.28 million viewers, while the concluding episode attracted 6.55.[2] The series was released on DVD via ITV Studios on 21 May 2007.[3]
