The Rosenthals

Cold Enough for Snow

Duration: 1 hour

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

1996 Two sets of parents plot to keep their children apart whilst they're studying to get into University.

But it isn't the children they should be worrying about....

Second drama by Jack Rosenthal and adapted for radio by his playwright daughter, Amy.

Both dramas had a huge impact at the time they were originally broadcast on TV. 'Eskimo Daty' saw Pippa and Neil arrive from Cheltenham and Blackburn respectively for their interviews at Cambridge.

Now, they're working towards their A levels. And as their future looks uncertain, both sets of parents realise quite what a turning point this is in their own lives.
