Second Chance is a British television drama series starring Susannah York and Ralph Bates as a divorced couple. It was written by Adele Rose and debuted on 23 January 1981. Filming began in July 1980 with the series originally planned for a airing later that year.
After 18 years of marriage Kate and Chris have divorced, with Kate leaving with their children, Jill (17) and Martin (15).
Jennifer Selway's capsule review in The Observer said "It's good to see Susannah York appearing in a major television role but the lightweight script just isn't good enough." Clive James, also in the Observer said "Second Chance (Yorkshire) reached its final episode in much better shape than when it started."
