Mate o' Mine
A comedy for radio by EDNA NADLER
Rita and Daphne's peaceful existence is shattered when for her 45th birthday. Rita's mother pays for her enrolment with a computer dating organisation in the hopes that at last, Rita will find Mr Right. Rita is enthusiastic. Daphne more sceptical ...
'Don't you see this system eliminates all the time-consuming formalities of getting to know the casual acquaintance you might meet at a club, party. Think of the enormous scope it offers, the element of adventure. Think of the unknown! ' ' Think of the shocks.'
Directed by CHERRY COOKSON (First broadcast in 1977)
