Problems with a Package

Tom's parents are in Tenerife but that doesn't stop him making his weekly check-in call.

Tom lives to regret persuading them to explore more than just the hotel whilst they're on holiday.

As the conversation unfolds, Tom takes time out to explain the situation, his parent's reactions plus anecdotes from the past illustrating his family's views.

During all this Hang Ups explores class, living away from 'home', trans-generational phenomena, what we inherit from our families and how the past repeats in the present. All in a 30 minute phone call.

So get underneath the skin of Tom and the Wrigglesworth family in a 30 minute totally legal bit of phone hacking.

Written by Tom Wrigglesworth and James Kettle.
