1. Why Didn't You Ask Me to Dance?
The couple are invited to a party and return home with a burning question. Starring Roger Allam and Joanna Lumley. From 2020.
Joanna Lumley and Roger Allam play a couple who have been married ‘forever’.
Children of the 1960s, they’re still free spirits, drawn together by their passion for music and each other. Their recognisable warm and witty conversations dance around the everyday chores and appointments, as well as dealing with problems within long-held friendships, and tackling their own frustrations with each other.
For starters, they’re invited to a party with old friends - but return home with a burning question: why didn’t you ask me to dance?
Written for Joanna Lumley and Roger Allam by award-winning comedy writer and journalist Jan Etherington - who’s been married for 34 years to Gavin Petrie, with whom she has created many hit Radio 4 Extra and TV series (Second Thoughts, plus Next of Kin, Faith in the Future, The Change).
