The singer Guy Garvey from the band Elbow is known for his poetic anthems such as One Day Like This. The actress Rachel Stirling is known for TV hits such as Tipping The Velvet and The Detectorists. Will their affection for each other survive the scrutiny of Patrick Marber and Peter Curran in a late-night horizontal ramble? It’s Bunk Bed.

Subjects discussed include separate sleeping arrangements as the key to happiness, tweeting at night, unintended rude cockney-rhyming slang in the title of an Elbow album, the call of the Eider duck, depressing songs, and a mind-boggling story about rude happenings when the late comedians Frankie Howerd and Bob Monkhouse shared a house together.
