5. Old Acquaintance
Dawn French and Jennifer Saunders star as respected novelist Florence and movie star Selina, in a sparkling comedy series about two sisters at war, by Veep writer David Quantick.
Florence has mixed feelings when Selina tells her sheβs moving out as sheβs sold the movie rights to her book and is rich again. But disaster strikes as Selina trashes a national treasure on a live TV appearance. And daughter Lucy cancels her round-the-world yacht voyage to confront the sisters with a devastating questionβ¦
βThe leadsβ natural chemistry, plus David Quantickβs witty scriptβ¦ make for an enjoyable comedy with series potentialβ The Observer
βItβs as slick, dark and funny as one would expect β but surely this cannot be a one-off? The ending alone leaves us begging for a seriesβ Radio Times
βFrench and Saunders sparkle with a magic that is so rarely heard in new radio comedies that Iβd almost forgotten it was possibleβ Daily Telegraph
