BBC Radio 4 - Drama on 4, Ditched, Episode 2

Richard arrives home to face his parents, in-laws, and wife Emma at a 'family summit'.

Richard arrives home and must face his parents, in-laws, and wife Emma at a 'family summit', where the couple must finally decide on the fate of their marriage.

After the dream-turned-nightmare of their wedding in 'Hitched' we revisit the bride and groom, Emma and Richard, two years after their big day. The couple have been living in America and have a young baby daughter, but the honeymoon is well and truly over and wedded bliss hasn't turned out to be, well, blissful.

With their relationship reaching crisis point, Emma returns from America with her young daughter to discover her life isn't the only one that has changed. Her troubled brother, Sam, has returned home and is living with their father, Max, while her mother, Ellie, has an unexpected new romance in her life.

But just what has happened between Emma and Richard, and what has Richard done to provoke Emma to return home alone?

When Richard in turn flies back to the UK, the stage is set for another unforgettable family encounter. As Richard's parents, the long-suffering Jenny and increasingly insufferable Barry, prepare to host a 'family summit' the in-laws are about to come face to face once again. 

With sparks sure to fly at a family reunion no one wants to attend, Emma and Richard must finally decide what the future holds for their marriage. 

Will it be Hitched or Ditched?
