³ÉÈËÂÛ̳

Joanna Lumley and Roger Allam play a couple who have been married ‘for ever’.

Children of the 60s, they’re still free spirits, drawn together by their passion for music and each other. Their warm and witty conversations dance around everyday chores and appointments as well as dealing with problems within long-held friendships, and tackling their own frustrations with each other. But underlying it all is their enduring love for each other and their desire to keep the passion alive.

This time, their together time is severely hampered by their broken-hearted house guest and her dog. Just how long are they going to stay?

Written for Joanna Lumley and Roger Allam by award-winning comedy writer and journalist Jan Etherington, who’s been married for 35 years to Gavin Petrie, with whom she created many hit radio and TV series (Second Thoughts, Next of Kin, Faith in the Future, The Change). Conversations from a Long Marriage is her first solo narrative comedy series.

Producer: Claire Jones
