Conversations from a Long Marriage at Christmas

Joanna Lumley and Roger Allam play a couple who have been married ‘for ever’. Children of the 60s, they’re still free spirits, drawn together by their passion for music and each other. A two-hander, we follow their dangling conversations, as they prepare for Christmas 'à deux', open their Christmas cards, dissect their neighbours' relationships – and Joanna reveals she’s planned some rather surprising activities for Christmas Day because ‘All I want for Christmas is you’ A late-night phone call means that her Christmas wish may not be granted Written for Joanna Lumley and Roger Allam by award-winning comedy writer and journalist Jan Etherington.
