Taken from the third successful BBC Radio 4 series starring Patricia Routledge and Prunella Scales, these episodes see a trembling in cyberspace as Vera and Irene discover the joys of email. There are the usual domestic mishaps to fret about: Irene's daughter Lesley is refusing to marry the worthy but boring Brian; Vera's exhausted daughter Karen has abandoned her third baby at the hospital and eloped with a male nurse; and Vera's gay son Howard and his partner Anthony are trying for a baby, with the help of a surrogate mother and a television crew.
As Irene and Vera fall in and out of friendship they accuse each other of everything from alcoholism to metal illness (in a loving, caring way, of course). Their hilarious putdowns and gossip give a wonderful insight into the trials of modern family life.

Why I Recommend
Audible by Alan Twigg
Audible (an Amazon.com company) is the world's leading online
audio-book provider. Audible is responsible for supplying audio
content to Apple's ITunes service. I have been listening,
enjoying and creating audio books for many years. With

audio-books began to become availalbe for download.
Having tried most of
the other download services myself, I finally came to
the conclusion that Audible offers the best and most
reliable service. Whether you are using an IPod, IPhone,
mobile phone, Dune or one of the many other MP3 players
availalbe, Audilbe makes downloading great quality audio
content easy and umcomplicated.
In addition to this, Audible also boasts the most comprehensive collection
