What Still Life is about

A village hall in the Cotswolds, rain against the windows, the road into the village flooded, the tutor stuck somewhere behind a closed bridge. Only a single student turns up to the life drawing class, young, shy, with too many pencils and too little experience. The model is a married woman from the village who has done this for years, for the money and for the quiet, and has never once been alone in a room with an artist. The first pose lasts twenty minutes.

After that it is clear that she sets the rules tonight. She corrects his hand, his gaze, his distance from the easel. In the second week, again, only he turns up, and she does not ask why. Between the easels the lesson becomes something else, and over last orders at the pub they talk about lines that have nothing to do with drawing. At the end of the four Thursdays there is an exhibition in the same hall. The village pub provides the only scene outside the hall, and there too they both keep their voices down.

Still Life tells these four Thursdays in six episodes: The First Pose, Her Hand on His, Among the Easels, Last Orders, The Last Thursday, The Exhibition. Her husband will see the pictures, along with the whole village. Whether he recognises in them what happened between model and artist is decided in the final episode. Episode 1 is the storm, the empty hall and the first pose.
