Conversations from a Long Marriage at Christmas again

Available for 348 days

Joanna Lumley and Roger Allam star as a long-married and passionate couple in Jan Etherington’s award-winning comedy. They’re spending a quiet Christmas with Peter and Sally but this snowballs into an extravagant house party when Peter is offered a rich friend’s country pile and invites other couples. Their recently widowed friend, Marian, is anticipating her pregnant daughter, Rosie’s, arrival but as Rosie cancels and Peter changes the arrangements yet again, Joanna picks up a flyer which offers her and Roger ‘a kind and important Christmas, rather than a glitzy gorgefest’. Can they get back to a Christmas they actually want? Producer: Claire Jones A BBC Studios production for BBC Radio 4, first broadcast in December 2021.
