Episode 4 of 6

Patrick Marber and Peter Curran share bunk bed thoughts in the darkness about depression and naked river swimming. From 2017.

Everyone craves a place where their mind and body are not applied to a particular task. The nearest faraway place.

Somewhere for drifting and lighting upon strange thoughts which don't have to be shooed into context, but which can be followed like balloons escaping onto the air.

Late at night, in the dark and in a bunk bed, your tired mind can wander.

This is the nearest faraway place for Patrick Marber and Peter Curran. Here they try to get the heart of things in an entertainingly vague and indirect way. This is not the place for typical male banter.

From under the bed clothes they play each other music and archive of HG Wells, a Russian radio station for spies and cheesy pop anthems.

Work, family, literature, and their own badly-scuffed dreams are the funny, if warped, conversational currency.

A Foghorn production for 91热爆 Radio 4, first broadcast in September 2017.
