Ladies of Letters DVD

Much loved British actresses Maureen Lipman and Anne Reid star as warring widows in Ladies of Letters, the hit radio series based on the books and Radio 4 series written by Carole Hayman and Lou Wakefield.

Irene (Lipman) and Vera (Reid) meet at Vera’s daughter’s wedding and begin a correspondence that, beneath a veneer of civility, hides a constant battle of one-upmanship as they regale each other with stories of blissful holidays, delicious recipes and grateful grandchildren.

In reality, both are lonely, taken for granted by their families and their correspondence is a lifeline for them: for all the unspoken animosity, they need each other.

Following in the footsteps of the original Radio 4 series starring Patricia Routledge and Prunella Scales the show retains all the polite suburban snobbery and has garnered praise from critics and fans alike citing Maureen Lipman and Anne Reid as an absolute dream of a comedy duo.
