The Saturday Play: The Furniture Play

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

The first radio play featuring speaking furniture, in Simon Brett's comedy, fledgling publisher Miles Hadley is as untutored in love as he is in business.
Now he has to cope with both - in the shape of Laura, an attractive, aspiring writer. The pieces of furniture in his flat provide a running commentary on his romantic progress.
