I've Been Loving You Too Long to Stop Now

Joanna says they’re β€˜in a rut’, so Roger plans a day of surprises. Stars Roger Allam and Joanna Lumley. From February 2021.

Joanna Lumley and Roger Allam play a couple who have been married 'forever'.

Children of the 1960s, they're still free spirits, drawn together by their passion for music and each other. Their recognisable warm and witty conversations dance around everything from health scares, jealousy and confessions, to TV incompatibility and sourdough bread.

In this episode, Joanna complains they’re β€˜in a rut’, so Roger plans a spontaneous day out but is thwarted at every turn. Undeterred, he cooks her a β€˜date night’ supper and they talk about their long marriage.

Written for Joanna Lumley and Roger Allam by award-winning comedy writer and journalist Jan Etherington - who's been married for 34 years to Gavin Petrie, with whom she has created many hit Radio 4 Extra and TV series (Second Thoughts, plus Next of Kin, Faith in the Future, The Change),

Producer: Claire Jones

First broadcast on ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ Radio 4 in February 2021.
