BBC Radio 4 - Conversations from a Long Marriage, Series 2, 2. It's Just Work

Joanna Lumley and Roger Allam’s marriage is tested when another man comes between them.

Joanna Lumley and Roger Allam star as long-marrieds, still passionate about each other. Today Joanna’s spending a lot of time with another man but insists ‘it’s just work’.

Conversations from a Long Marriage is a two-hander, starring Joanna Lumley and Roger Allam, as a long-married couple who met in the Summer of Love and are still passionate about life, music and each other. We listen to – and empathise with - their dangling ‘conversations’ covering everything from health scares, jealousy and confessions, to TV incompatibility and sourdough bread. 

In Episode two, Joanna gets distracted by a work project, which happens to be with a man who just happens to be much younger and rather more exciting than Roger.  When Roger complains about being pushed out of her life, he’s told, in no uncertain terms, 'it’s just work’.  But is it?
