Truly superb drama
Revisado: 09-05-18
Alan Bennett's "Talking Heads" series deserves every ounce of praise possible. In each story we become acquainted with a heroine (on rare occasion, hero) in the midst of a personal struggle of one sort or another, and over the course of the monologue we learn through what is - and isn't - said just as much about the mental state of the storyteller as the events transpiring themselves. Each character, of course, sees things her (or his) own way, but unexpected revelations abound, and whether, by the end, the storyteller has understood the full impact of what's been happening is largely up to the audience to determine. "Talking Heads" was originally written for television, and was a unique proposition at the time, and later produced for radio (what we hear here), followed in book form, and each format excellently conveys Bennett's unique skills at observing, writing, and carrying his audience along throughout the course of the plot. These stories are meant to be enjoyed time and again, and something new is undoubtedly to be gleaned with each new visit.

First broadcast on Woman's Hour, Prunella Scales and Patricia Routledge star in this popular BBC Radio 4 comedy Ladies of Letters. This collection features all 11 series. When Irene Spencer meets Vera Small at her daughter Lesley's wedding reception, they embark upon a correspondence that is quite unlike any other in the history of letter writing. Both Irene and Vera are happily widowed and endowed with errant offspring. They live in a world of church fetes and amateur dramatics but love nothing more than dipping their pens in the vitriol pot.

Hilarious adventures as told in correspondence
Revisado: 09-05-18
Two ladies of a certain age, Irene and Vera, exchange correspondence regarding their bizarre family lives, stupefying adventures, and riotous calamities that befall them. The true definition of "frenemies," they alternate in rapid-fire succession between unconditional support (and, often, hare-brained rescues) and desperate one-upsmanship. The writing and acting (by two of Britain's most celebrated actresses) are truly superb, and it's been an absolute joy to listen.
