BBC will be adapting Kate Atkinson's bestselling novel Life After Life into a four-part series that's set for release on BBC One and BBC iPlayer. The book was previously shortlisted for a Women's Prize For Fiction and won a Costa Book Award in 2013, so we know it's going to be good.

Clifford is set to play Sylvie - Ursula's mother - and stars alongside James McArdle,...
