Description
Comedy that's an adaptation of the books and hit Radio 4 series written by Carole Hayman and Lou Wakefield.
The widows Irene and Vera meet at Vera’s daughter’s wedding and begin a correspondence that, beneath a veneer of civility, hides a constant battle of one-upmanship as they regale each other with stories of blissful holidays, delicious recipes and grateful grandchildren.
In reality, both are lonely, taken for granted by their families and their correspondence is a lifeline for them, because for all the unspoken animosity, they need each other.
