Max and Mike attempt to broach the sensitive subject of S.E.X. with their daughters.

Max and Mike try to broach the delicate subjects of S.E.X. and social media with their daughters. With Caitlin Moran. From 2017.

Michael and Maxine Wilson and their teenage daughters, Lola and Cat (plus their bearded dragon Chomsky, and about 150,000 bees) have resolved to live a cleaner, greener, serener life.

Starring Marcus Brigstocke and Kerry Godliman.

Sitcom about trying to live ethically and do the right thing.

Written by Marcus Brigstocke and Sarah Morgan.

In the last episode in this series, Max and Mike attempt to get their heads around the sensitive subject of S.E.X. and technology. 

Daughter Cat's latest relationship seems to be mainly conducted via phone and they fear she doesn't realise the risks  of sharing intimate images. But a full and frank adult conversation seems beyond Mike who has hang-ups of his own.

Meanwhile, Max attempt to address society's obsession with technology, but makes a clanging faux pas via her local library web seminars. 

As the usual family harmony disintegrates – does a celebrated feminist author have the answers they crave?

Producer: Julia McKenzie

A BBC Studios production for BBC Radio 4, first broadcast in November 2017.
