Confessions of a shoppingtelly presenter

This is a 15 minute drama from Radio 4 yesterday, available to listen to on the link below for a few days.

QUOTE - - - we revisit a group of people, who share one thing in common, a therapist called Martha and a growing set of neuroses which appear to be overtaking their wholly imperfect lives. As therapists go, Martha is reasonably compassionate, but deep down she's losing patience. It seems all her clients want to be something they are not, and it's driving them and her, out of their minds?

There's Philip, who insists he isn't facing a crisis since his demotion from Good Morning Norfolk to a shopping channel - but whose new girlfriend is 30 years his junior and clearly on the make.

It's painfully funny but it doesn't look as though it will end well for any of them.

I've edited the 15 minute programme down to less than 3 minutes, just including the shopping TV comments, which I think are very funny, but with a lot of truth in them.

Here is the link, you should be able to hear it directly from here.

It sometimes takes a short time to load before the play button appears.

Thanks, SB. Last line of dialogue most telling!

I'm just wondering if I can save money and use my Titan wonder veggie peeler instead??
