5. Should I Stay or Should I Go?

Today, there’s jealousy and suspicion, as Roger is pursued by a former student with a crush, and Joanna admits she’s been attracted to another man.

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 – and empathise with - their dangling ‘conversations’ covering everything from health scares, jealousy and confessions, to TV incompatibility and sourdough bread.

In Episode 5, ‘Should I stay or should I go?’ – Roger is late home from a pub lunch and Joanna finds out he had a ‘chance encounter’ on the train home with a former student and didn’t tell her.

In spite of his protests that it was innocent, Joanna warns the woman off – but then confesses she has been strongly attracted to another man.

Written by Jan Etherington. Produced and directed by Claire Jones. Production co-ordinator Beverly Tagg. A Â鶹ԼÅÄ Studios Production.
