Conversations From A Long Marriage - Series 5
Joanna Lumley and Roger Allam play a married couple who met in the Summer of Love and have stayed together ever since. Children of the '60s, they are still free spirits, drawn together by their love for music and one another.
We follow their conversations from the café to the kitchen table, taking in everyday chores, dealing with problems with long-held friendships and tackling their frustrations with each other. With warmth, wit and honesty, they talk about the indignities of ageing, their desire to still be seen as attractive and their fears and vulnerabilities around growing older.
Written by award-winning comedy writer and journalist Jan Etherington, and based on her own 35-year marriage to Gavin Petrie (with whom she wrote the hit radio and TV series Second Thoughts and Faith In The Future), the fifth series of this gentle comedy will resonate with couples of all ages.
