Really enjoyed these this week. 5 x 15 min duologues, each featuring a married couple talking in bed, all played by actors who were married couples at the time.

Prunella Scales and Timothy West, talking during the Blitz
Natasha Pyne and Paul Copley, talking in a tent on Mount Snowdon
Imelda Staunton and Jim Carter, talking over that night's performance in their theatrical digs
Judi Dench and Michael Williams, talking in a sleeper from Edinburgh about something they've been doing up there, but what was it?
Diana Quick and Bill Nighy, talking in bed about his research assistant (he's a Tory MP)

Well worth a listen.

Thanks Gasp I’ll definitely give that a listen.

I hope it won't disappoint! Recorded in 1994.

That sounds right up my street - thanks for sharing.

I’ve only just realised listening to this that Paul Copley is both the guy from Last Tango and Leonard in the Archers.

Thank you from me too Gasp. Will definitely listen this week.

Yes! Also in Downton Abbey (Mr Mason, Daisy's father-in-law) and that Radio 4 sitcom from a few years ago, Tom Wriggleswoth's hang-ups, where a Sheffield standup phoned home. Paul Copley played his Dad.
