1. She Drives Me Crazy

Joanna Lumley & Roger Allam star in Jan Etherington’s award-winning comedy, as a couple still passionate about life and each other. This week: ‘There are three in this marriage’.

Joanna Lumley and Roger Allam return with the fourth series of Jan Etherington’s award-winning comedy about a long-married couple in love with life and each other.

This week, Amy moves in. She has long, thin legs and lots of black hair, which is why their new rescue dog is called after Amy Winehouse. Joanna’s attempts at training are scuppered by Roger and Amy’s ‘lovefest’, prompting her to observe ‘There are three in this marriage.’

Conversations from a Long Marriage is written by Jan Etherington.
It’s produced and directed by Claire Jones.
And it is a Â鶹ԼÅÄ Studios Production.
