BBC Radio 4 Extra - Thinking of Leaving Your Husband?, Lobster Thermidor

Undeterred by her first internet date disaster, Sarah is invited out by a high court judge

Undeterred by her first internet dating disaster, Sarah is invited out by a high court judge. Stars Lia Williams. From April 2010.

Sarah's first experience of internet dating has gone horribly wrong, but undeterred she continues to use the site, and receives a proposal from a high court judge to go out and eat lobster thermidor with him. Meanwhile her ex-schoolfriend, Tania, is treating her less like a friend and more like some sort of hired servant; she is instructed to look after a consignment of pedigree cats that Tania proposes to sell at a huge profit. Some relief comes in the form of an unexpected visit from her two self-centred but irrepressible nieces Lucy and Ellie. The second episode of a comedy drama by Charlotte Cory starring Henry Goodman and Lia Williams.
