Ladies Of Letters

Maureen Lipman and Anne Reid star as warring widows in the first series of the hit radio comedy's TV adaptation.

When Irene Spencer (Lipman) meets Vera Small (Reid) at her daughter Lesley's wedding reception they embark upon a correspondence unlike any other in the history of letter-writing, with exchanges about ungrateful children, quarrelsome holidays, and some rather dubious recipes. As the pensioner pen-pals keep their spirits up with sherry and shared recipes, their attempts at long-distance one-upmanship are strained by fractious families, misfiring romance and personal misfortune. In reality they are both lonely and taken for granted by their families.

Contains all 10 episodes from the ITV series.
