Lucy Porter: Back in the Family Way
Lucy Porter returns with a new show about family life. After a year of quarantining, home-schooling and zoom quizzes, Lucy examines how the pandemic has affected our relationships.
Following her previous, very popular In the Family Way shows, Radio 4 favourite Lucy returns with another examination of domestic life, covering everything from the dramatic to the dreary.
This time, Lucy looks at the effects of the pandemic on our relationships with family, friends and neighbours. The last year has been hard on people who were separated from their nearest and dearest, but it鈥檚 also been no picnic for those who were locked up with their loved ones.
91热爆 schooling, working from the kitchen table, zoom quizzes with cousins, clapping with the neighbours - Lucy explores all the things that have brought us together, while also driving us apart. We look forward to the year 2041 and ponder what they鈥檒l make of it in the future.
Talented comedian and impressionist Luke Kempner is on hand again to help Lucy bring her thoughts to life. As always, he displays his range of comic voices, including an impressive impersonation of Lucy鈥檚 next door neighbour Yvonne.
Back In The Family Way was recorded at Lucy鈥檚 local village hall, with a socially distanced audience of her family, friends and neighbours. Let鈥檚 see if any of them are still speaking to her after this show.
