It is based on a poem (yes, a poem), by Christopher Reid, about old lovers meeting again after many years. Reid said he was inspired in part by the section in Ulysses in which Joyce described a pub. He wanted to try something similar with lunch in a restaurant. (So there's the Rosenbach link in case you were not convinced to watch the show by the names of its stars.)
It just premiered on British TV and got wonderful reviews.
