Second Thoughts
All four series of the BBC radio comedy about a couple experiencing love for the second time - plus special festive episode The Fight Before Christmas.
Bill and Faith are both divorcees, late in love but new to each other. As they battle to forge a relationship together, they discover that the course of true love doesn't always run smoothly.
In these 31 episodes, they move in together, plan a wedding and deal with the challenges of married life - all the while trying to balance the demands of Bill's ex-wife, Liza, and her teenage children, Hannah and Joe. From bickering about the kids to worrying about money, trying to find time for romance and dealing with feelings of jealousy, the duo's relationship comes under fire from all sides. Can they make love work the second time around?
Inspired by the real lives of its writers, husband and wife Jan Etherington and Gavin Petrie, this funny, bittersweet sitcom was adapted for ITV where it ran for five seasons and was followed by an equally successful sequel, Faith In The Future. It stars Lynda Bellingham as Faith and James Bolam as Bill.
