Janey Takes Off is a rom com by new writer Leanne Allen, packed with holiday adventures. It's her second drama for Radio 4, full of her trademark comic touches and sharp observation of life as a wheelchair user.

Janey and Matthew are about to go on their first weekend abroad in Spain, along with carer, Kayleigh and her anxious boyfriend Daniel. Matthew hopes it will prove to Janey that he is able and ready to move in with her. Janey is not convinced and wants Matthew to appreciate the sheer amount of effort that goes into sharing a space with her, hoists, wheelchair, toothbrushes and all!

As Janey feared, the holiday presents all manner of access adventures and chaos from getting off the plane, to malfunctioning hoists and an unexpected visit to the hospital. And while Kayleigh and Daniel are sickeningly in love, will Janey and Matthew's relationship survive, dive or thrive during their weekend in Alicante?
