About this listen
The final two series of A. L. Kennedy's wry comic drama about love in later life.
In their youth, John and Maggie had a tempestuous on/off affair that ended badly. Now in their 60s, they've decided to give their romance another chance - and discovered that love doesn't get any easier when you're older but no wiser.
Having survived dating and moving in together, the duo face the next big test for their relationship: tying the knot. They soon find that married life is no picnic either - even their honeymoon turns out to be more endurance test than relaxing spa break.
As John worries that Maggie's getting bored with wedded bliss, he's got some work to do to save their marriage. And there are further challenges to come, in the form of lockdown and a mystery 'lurker' who seems to have set his sights on Maggie....
Will the couple come through it all unscathed and finally find their happy ever after?
Created by award-winning writer A. L. Kennedy, this witty, engaging series stars Bill Nighy as John and Anna Calder-Marshall as Maggie.

Enjoyable
I enjoyed both books mainly because I love Bill Nighy. I thought the female character was too whingey and whiney and mostly was attention-seekung. These romances with past loves often happen, and did in my case, but I really felt sorry for Bill's character as she was so hard to please. Well, I guess there are people like that in the world. Overall a good listen while one is doing something else.

A good listen
Funny, very Bill Nighy and very easy picturing this typical English man of a certain age

Great banter!
Loved both of these, reminded me of As Time Goes By but far more realistic.
