Bunk Bed

Available for 15 days

Everyone craves a place where their mind and body are not applied to a particular task. The nearest faraway place. Somewhere for drifting and lighting upon strange thoughts which don't have to be shooed into context, but which can be followed like balloons escaping onto the air. Late at night, in the dark and in a bunk bed, your tired mind can wander. Kathy Burke returns to the pull-out mattress to discuss self-censorship, Irish accents, boyfriends and her father - before Patrick sings them both a lullaby. The three bed fellows discuss the meaning of having 'a good heart' and Peter shares some of the pleasure and pain that results from having an attractive voice, but an Irish accent. Producer: Peter Curran A Foghorn production for BBC Radio 4, first broadcast in January 2021.
