Everyone craves a place where their mind and body are not applied to any particular task - the nearest faraway place which allows us to drift. The state between wakefulness and deep slumber where strange thoughts can be followed like balloons floating through the air. Late at night, in the dark and in a bunk bed, your tired mind can wander through unchartered territory. This is the chat show with a difference. Written by and starring unlikely bedfellows, Patrick Marber and Peter Curran. Award-winning actor and director Kathy Burke shares her memories of reading saucy novels aloud for an audience of fellow teenagers in the 1970s. Curran and Marber fight over concepts of male sensitivity, only to be severely admonished by Kathy, and they discuss how the words of The Sex Pistols' God Save The Queen now mock them in middle-age. Producer: Peter Curran A Foghorn production for BBC Radio 4, first broadcast in August 2017.
