TV review: The Pact, BBC2
This final BBC Two pilot has success written over it. The stars are Him & Her's Sarah Solemani and sexy, brooding Brett Goldstein as two schoolfriends who make a deal aged 15 that if they are single at 35 they will get together. After the teenage opening we flash forward to the present day. Surely getting a decent romcom out of this basic plot should be a doddle. Apparently not.
