Julie has a bone to pick with Danno, and Andy has finally met a woman – but she’s not all she seems.

Continuing the award-nominated comedy drama set in Alcoholics Anonymous, written by Pete Jackson and inspired by his own road to recovery.

It follows the lives of five very different recovering alcoholics.

Taking place entirely at their weekly meetings, we hear them moan, argue, laugh, fall apart, fall in love and - most importantly - tell their stories.

Simon …... John Hannah
Julie …... Sue Johnston

Andy ...... Johnny Vegas
Alice ...... Aimee-Ffion Edwards

Writer Pete Jackson is a recovering alcoholic and has spent time in Alcoholics Anonymous. It was there he found, as most people do, support from the unlikeliest group of disparate souls, all banded together due to one common bond. As well as offering the support he needed throughout a difficult time, AA also offered a weekly, sometimes daily, dose of hilarity, upset, heartbreak and friendship.

Love in Recovery doesn’t seek to represent an AA meeting exactly as it might happen in real life, but to capture the funny stories, the sad stories, the stories of small victories and of huge milestones, stories of loss, stories of hope, and most importantly, the many highs and lows in the journey of recovery.

Written and created by Pete Jackson.

Producer/Director: Ben Worsfield

A King Bert production for Â鶹Éç Radio 4, first broadcast in January 2019.
