Â鶹Éç

The return of Jan Etherington’s award-winning comedy about a long-married couple in love with life and each other.

Starring Joanna Lumley and Roger Allam.

In this opening episode, Amy moves in.

She has long, thin legs and lots of black hair, which is why their new rescue dog is called after Amy Winehouse.

Joanna’s attempts at training are scuppered by Roger and Amy’s ‘lovefest’, prompting her to observe ‘There are three in this marriage.’

Produced and directed by Claire Jones.

A Â鶹Éç Studios production for Â鶹Éç Radio 4, first broadcast in February 2023.

**** Conversations from a Long Marriage won Voice of the Listener & Viewer Award for Best Radio Comedy in 2020.
