Pen Pals

Duration: 1 hour

First broadcast: on BBC Radio 4 ExtraLatest broadcast: on BBC Radio 4 Extra

Fay, from Bristol, and Miami-based Beth have been pen pals since they were 11 years-old. Fay endlessly describes her life with her dentist husband and three children, whilst Beth boasts of her lovers and free-wheeling between San Francisco and Florida.

They never meet - until Beth announces that she's arriving at Gatwick Airport and won't be put off.

For some reason, Fay is terrified.

Starring Jane Lapotaire as Fay Fuller and Lorelei King as Beth Camacho.

Director: Shaun MacLoughlin.
