BBC Radio 4 - Conversations from a Long Marriage, Series 2, 6. I've Been Loving You Too Long to Stop Now

When Joanna tells Roger that they’re ‘in a rut’, he plans a spontaneous day out.

When Roger, once more, falls asleep in front of the TV, Joanna says they’re ‘in a rut’, so he plans a day of surprises. But there are rather more ‘surprises’ than he anticipated.

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 6, ‘I’ve Been Loving you too long to stop now’, Joanna complains they’re ‘in a rut’, so Roger plans a spontaneous day out but is thwarted at every turn. Undeterred, he cooks her a ‘date night’ supper and they talk about their long marriage.

Written by Jan Etherington. Produced and directed by Claire Jones. Production co-ordinator Beverly Tagg. A BBC Studios Production.
