Friends
Writer AL Kennedy ponders friendship, which, as a happily solitary only child, was something she managed to put off for as long as was decently possible.
Acclaimed writer A L Kennedy muses on the hell that is other people, today looking at friends.
As someone so unable to deal with other people that she works at home, making up imaginary friends, who even then don't always behave, A L Kennedy admits to not necessarily being the best person to dish out advice on relationships. However, in this series she wonders whether she's perhaps been a little harsh when it comes to 'other people'.
Today, she ponders friendship, which, as a happily solitary only child, was something she managed to put off for as long as was decently possible...
Written and read by A L Kennedy, the award-winning novelist, dramatist and broadcaster.
Producer: Justine Willett.
