Winifred Leslie, the Grande Dame of radio drama, lives alone and thinks she’s been forgotten.

But when she’s offered a part by a young producer at the age of 80, her memories come flooding back:.

She recalls her three marriages, appearing on Radio 4’s Desert Island Discs – and being Samuel Beckett's muse.

Her companion in life is an old Bakelite wireless, which answers her back.

Starring Billie Whitelaw and Christian Rodska.

Peter Tinniswood’s sad, funny and joyous celebration of the great days of radio.

Winifred Leslie …… Billie Whitelaw
