Jane Lucas provides advice to the readers of Person magazine, and callers-in to a local radio station. Although she spends most of her time dishing out good advice she can't seem to deal with her own problems, lurching from one disaster to another.
Her relationship with husband Laurence is under constant strain, both from their own behaviour and anxieties, but also from colleagues - and Jane's mother.
Jane seeks solace in her best friends, gay couple Rob and Michael, and secretary Val. The less said about glamorous boss Diana or her radio hosts, Andy Evol and later, Junior Truscombe, the better!
In 1995 BBC One broadcast a sequel series, Agony Again.
