Prunella Scales & Patricia Routledge star in the popular BBC Radio 4 series Ladies of Letters When Irene Spencer meets Vera Small at her daughter Lesleys wedding reception they embark upon a correspondence that is quite unlike any other in the history of letter-writing. Both Irene & Vera are happily widowed & endowed with errant offspring. They live in a world of church fêtes & amateur dramatics, but love nothing more than dipping their pens in the vitriol pot while remaining the firmest of pen-pals. Feisty, naughty & endlessly funny, Ladies of Letters provides a hilarious insight into suburban friendships as they REALLY are! Quite honestly as I laid the last letter aside I felt a better person for having glimpsed behind the net curtains of Mrs Smalls & Mrs Spencers life. Sue Townse
