Pat And Margaret is Victoria Wood's bitter-sweet comedy about two sisters reunited on a live television show, adapted for radio by John Foley.
Two sisters, one a Hollywood star, the other a motorway café waitress, have happily forgotten about each other. But they are reunited in a very public way, live on television.
Pat is the glamorous face of an American soap; Margaret a waitress in a motorway café in Lancashire. They are sisters, but haven't seen each other for 27 years. Brought together in the full public glare of the popular television show Magic Moments, they have no choice but to seem thrilled. But a darker past lies behind their reunion.
"I'm glamorous, attractive, I have enough sexual charisma to open a factory. She's fat, Northern, working-class - of course she wants to be my sister," says Pat.
