4. If You Go Away
Joanna has a health scare and worries that she has not lived a life of achievement and will never have a blue plaque, or win a Booker Prize. Then they both receive very sad news
Conversations from a Long Marriage is a two-hander, starring Joanna Lumley and Roger Allam, as a long-married couple who met in the Summer of Love and are still passionate about life, music and each other. We listen to β and empathise with - their dangling βconversationsβ covering everything from health scares, jealousy and confessions, to TV incompatibility and sourdough bread.
In EPISODE 4, Joanna has a health scare and tells Roger that sheβs frightened theyβll both die before HS2 is completed and βI donβt want to be in a world if we are not in it.β He struggles to respond with a sensible answer. Then they both receive very bad news.
