Joanna Lumley and Roger Allam play a couple who have been married for over 40 years. Children of the 60s, they’re still free spirits, drawn together by their passion for music - and each other.
The show follows their conversations that take them from the local café, to their kitchen table, taking in her resentment of new glasses - a symbol of ageing - and fury at being lectured by the dental hygienist.
He has a dodgy knee and is on statins, and when they discuss the marriage break-up of their closest friends, Sally and Peter, there’s jealousy and talk of affairs. She suggests there are advantages to single beds, separate holidays - and wants to go clubbing in Ibiza for her imminent ‘big’ birthday.
"When I look in the mirror, I want to shout, okay, I know what it looks like on the outside but inside, I’m still dancing in the street with Martha Reeves and the Vandellas," she says, insisting that men aren’t affected in the same way - until he recounts a poignant encounter with a woman on a train.
