The Car

Available for 16 days

Charlotte and Lillian are back, continuing with a Befriend the Elderly scheme despite not liking each other much. Both are convinced they’re doing the other a favour - Charlotte by providing company for a lonely old lady, Lillian by filling gaps on the CV of a self-absorbed millennial. Charlotte is ever eager to embrace the latest trends, from dog ownership and online fundraising to improved nutrition for the local community. Having discovered that Lillian still has her old car in the garage, Charlotte takes advantage of some extra experience on the road - with Lillian as her instructor - in the run up to her sixth driving test. Written by Kat Sommers and Holly Walsh. Charlotte ...... Helen Monks Lillian ...... Miriam Margolyes Angry Driver …. Laurence Howarth Producer: Lucy Armitage A Giddy Goat production for BBC Radio 4, first broadcast in October 2021.
