BBC Radio 4 - Unite, Series 2, The Welsh Fugitive

Tony decides the family should go for a digital detox weekend in Wales.

Tony organises a digital detox weekend for the family at a remote farmhouse in Wales. Unfortunately it coincides with the escape of a dangerous criminal from a nearby prison.

Tony bemoans the fact the family are spending too much time on their phones and organises a digital detox weekend at a remote farmhouse in Wales. But his romanticised views of the ex-mining village where he spent many happy summers as a child, are at odds with the harsh reality. 

Ashley, obsessed with true crime podcasts, is excited to learn that a dangerous criminal has escaped from prison, Imogen reconnects with an university friend and Gideon cant relax, having left his pregnant girlfriend at home.

This is the second series of Unite. When Tony (Mark Steel), a working class, left wing South Londoner, falls in love and marries Imogen (Claire Skinner), an upper middle class property developer, their sons - Croydon chancer Ashley (Elliot Steel) and supercilious Eton and Oxford-educated Gideon (Ivo Graham) - are forced to live under the same roof and behave like the brothers neither of them ever wanted.
