The Wedding

Duration: 28 minutes

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

Available for years

New sitcom series starring Radio 4 favourite Mark Steel (Mark Steel’s In Town, The News Quiz), Claire Skinner (Outnumbered), Elliot Steel and Ivo Graham.

When Tony (Mark Steel), a working class, left-wing South Londoner, falls in love and moves in with Imogen (Claire Skinner), an upper middle class property developer, their sons - disenfranchised Croydon rude boy Ashley (Elliot Steel) and Oxbridge-educated crypto currency king Gideon (Ivo Graham) - are forced to live under the same roof and behave like the brothers neither of them ever wanted.

In this episode, on the day before Tony and Imogen's wedding, Gideon is adding the finishing touches to his "masterpiece" of a speech (four months in the making), Ashley needs to try and complete his driving test before the ceremony, Tony is struggling to pay an overdue car fine and Imogen's mum takes her to a spa hotel to relax, but instead tries to convince her she's marrying the wrong man.
