BBC Radio 4 - Guilt Trip, Episode 1

A mother and daughter undertake a two-week sponsored walk along The Thames Path.

A mum and daughter undertake a two-week sponsored walk along The Thames Path. With Felicity Montagu and Olivia Nixon. From 2016.

A mother and daughter undertake a two week sponsored walk along The Thames Path to raise money for the dead father's charity. 

But the mother and father divorced nine years ago and he'd re-married, so relationships between them all have been strained. 

Things come to a head at any mention of the French Oak gable table that Ros and her now dead ex bought together in Camden. This has somehow ended up in the step-mother's house, much to Ros's annoyance: 

"I mean she sits at it! It's my table and she sits at it."  

Comedy drama written by Katherine Jakeways with Felicity Montagu and Olivia Nixon.

In this opening episode,  mother and daughter are just starting out and in her usual putting-her-large-foot-firmly-in-it manner Ros gets her daughter's ex-boyfriend to drop them at the source, but without any prior warning to the daughter. 

The renewed bonding Ros is hoping for may be a bit bumpier than expected. Especially when along the way Ros also manages to offend pretty much everyone she meets - not least an Eastern European camp site warden.
