BBC Radio 4 Extra - Mum's on the Run, Episode 2

A modern single mum battles with life. Starring Ronni Ancona and John Gordon Sinclair

A quiet parent's evening becomes a farcical attempt to recreate the execution of Charles I. Stars Kevin Eldon. From 2010.

Volunteering to do the Crocodile Walk into school to get brownie points with the other mothers, is not Jen's idea of fun in torrential rain. 

A quiet parent's evening becomes a farcical attempt by Jen and ex-husband Keith to recreate the execution of Charles I.

Mum's on the Run is a modern-day twist on the single-family situation. It follows the hectic life ("What life?") of single mum, Jen. 

Starring Ronni Ancona.

Mother of two, Master of none - Jen seems to spend most of her time as an unpaid chauffeur to a 15 year-old teenage existentialist son, Toby, and a tonally challenged recorder-practising 11 year-old daughter, Felicity

She must also cope with her jazz musician ex-husband, the fiercely competitive and annoying downstairs neighbour and a huge crush on her son's history teacher.

Written by Alexis Zegerman.
