Patricia Routledge and Prunella Scales star in Ladies of Letters and Ladies of More Letters, the two popular BBC Radio 4 Woman's Hour series.
Patricia Routledge is Vera Small and Prunella Scales is her friend (or maybe enemy), Irene Spencer. The two pass their time in regular correspondence and not an event goes by that is left unrecorded by the ladies of letters.
Firstly there are the usual family problems to discuss - Vera’s daughter is a single mother and always the cause of much frustration especially when she runs off to Australia where Irene is visiting her daughter. Vera’s gay son Howey is more settled, sharing his sheep farm with partner Anthony.
Always polite but not always nice, the two ladies’ letters are often acerbic, one might even say bitchy, yet their subtle put downs create wonderful letters full of humour and insight into the ups and downs of family life.

Have you always loved reading but sometimes find it hard to find the time? There�s nothing quite like curling up with a good book but many of us can�t do that as much as we�d like. We sacrifice this special time because we have so many other things to do each day. It�s a common problem and it�s the reason why people on average are not reading as much as they once did.
Audio books bring the story to life just as the storytellers of the past did. They allow you to experience the book in a whole new way; in the way the writer felt and heard it in their head. You can feel the emotion when you allow audio books to let the story come to life.
