Conversations from a Long Marriage is a two-hander, starring Joanna Lumley and Roger Allam, as a long-married couple who met in the Summer of Love and are still passionate about life, music and each other. We listen to – and empathise with - their dangling ‘conversations’ covering everything from health scares, jealousy and confessions, to TV incompatibility and sourdough bread.

In EPISODE 4, Joanna has a health scare and tells Roger that she’s frightened they’ll both die before HS2 is completed and ‘I don’t want to be in a world if we are not in it.’ He struggles to respond with a sensible answer. Then they both receive very bad news.
