Tough and ballsy Sue works in a man's world, editing a football magazine. She's also the dreaded "other woman", snatching alternate Saturdays with her lover. 

Then one Saturday he turns up with a suitcase - and instead of the afternoon of passion she was expecting - she has a married man weeping all over her candlewick.

Read by Lesley Manville.

A series of six monologues written by Lynne Truss. Six women have reached their 40-something years, and each has a very different, and sometimes surprising, story to tell. 

Producer: Dawn Ellis
