Afternoon Play: The Paternity Test

on BBC Radio 4 FM

The first of two interconnected plays based on the subject of paternity.
1: Contact
When Paul reveals that he's been made redundant and that a one-night stand has landed him with a claim for child maintenance, it isn't long before his wife moves out. But when he decides to be a proper father to the child, Paul discovers that while he has all the responsibilities he has very, very few rights. The second drama, Proof, will be broadcast next week.
