BBC Radio 4 - The Flatshare by Beth O'Leary, Episode 3

Tiffy hasn't met her new flatmate Leon yet, but she has nosed around their shared room.

Reeling from being stalked by her creepy ex, Tiffy takes solace in a bag of scarves she finds under the bed she shares with Leon, the flatmate she still hasn’t met yet.

Broke and broken-hearted Tiffy needs a cheap flat, fast. Night-shift worker Leon needs a flatmate fast. But his place has only got one bedroom, so there’s only one solution. Tiffy gets the bed at night and Leon sleeps there in the day. And they don’t ever even need to meet, insists Leon’s girlfriend Kay. Them’s the rules.
But as Tiffy and Leon's Post-It note chats about crocheted scarves and mushroom stroganoffs grow ever more frequent and intense, so does their curiosity about eachother. Eventually the flatshare rulebook may just need to be thrown out of the window. 

The Flatshare is written by Beth O’Leary, performed by Sinead MacInnes and Will Kirk. It is abridged by Katrin Williams and produced by Karen Holden.

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.

A boy-shouldn't-meet-girl screwball comedy in millennial London.

A boy-shouldn't-meet-girl screwball comedy in millennial London. Tiffy Moore needs a cheap flat, and fast. Leon Twomey works nights and needs cash. Their friends think they're crazy, but it's the perfect solution: Leon occupies the one-bed flat while Tiffy's at work in the day, and she has the run of the place the rest of the time.

But with obsessive ex-boyfriends, demanding clients at work, wrongly imprisoned brothers and, of course, the fact that they still haven't met yet, they're about to discover that if you want the perfect home you need to throw the rule-book out the window.
