Back In The Family Way
Further details
This time Lucy looks at the effects of the pandemic on our relationships with family, friends and neighbours. The last year has been hard on people who were separated from their nearest and dearest, but it's been no picnic for those who were locked up with their loved ones either.
Home schooling, working from the kitchen table, zoom quizzes with cousins, clapping with the neighbours - Lucy explores all the things that have brought us together, whilst also driving us apart. We look forward to the year 2041 and ponder what they'll make of it in the future.
Talented comedian and impressionist Luke Kempner is on hand again to help Lucy bring her thoughts to life. As always, he displays his range of comic voices, including an impressive impersonation of Lucy's next door neighbour Yvonne.
Back In The Family Way was recorded at Lucy's local village hall, with a socially distanced audience of her family, friends and neighbours. Let's see if any of them are still speaking to her after this show.
Notes
This episode was dedicated to the show's former producer Marylin Imrie, who had since died before the show was broadcast.
