Title: Conversations from a Long Marriage: Series 5: A BBC Radio 4 comedy drama Series: #5 of Conversations from a Long Marriage Author: Jan Etherington Narrator: Joanna Lumley, Roger Allam Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 2 hours 47 minutes Release date: June 6, 2024 Genres: Drama Publisher's Summary: Roger Allam and Joanna Lumley star in the complete fifth series of the much-loved comedy drama ‘An endearing portrait of exasperation, laced with hard won tolerance – and something like love’ Guardian Joanna Lumley and Roger Allam are passionate, affectionate long-marrieds, still loving and laughing their way through life after 50 years together (on and off). We catch up with them as Joanna’s landmark birthday is looming, and – inspired by fond memories of ‘the Kerouac years’ – Roger surprises her with a nostalgic trip in a hippy love bus. Joanna, meanwhile, reminisces over their youthful Harley Davidson rides, indulges in a random act of kindness and relives old times when she visits an old friend in need. Though lack of communication causes complications for their loved ones, it’s not a problem Joanna and Roger are ever likely to have – and whether they’re rescuing spiders or planning Auntie Hilda’s wedding, they’re never short of conversation. But talking can’t solve everything – and when a huge shock rocks the foundations of their marriage, a devastated Joanna makes a decision that will break Roger’s heart... Conversations from a Long Marriage won the Voice of the Listener & Viewer Award for Best Radio Comedy in 2020, and was nominated for a Writers’ Guild Award in 2022 and a British Comedy Guide award in 2023. Scripted by award-winning journalist and comedy writer Jan Etherington (Second Thoughts, Faith in the Future), this beautifully crafted sitcom is by turns poignant and hilarious.
