Product Description
Maureen Lipman and Anne Reid return for a second series of this marvellous TV adaptation of the hit radio comedy.
Having lost her home to the bulldozers in the first series of Ladies of Letters, we find Vera (Anne Reid) installed at Far Shores Trailer Park in Vicker-upon-St Agnes. Life is rosy for Vera until daughter Karen comes to stay. Meanwhile Irene (Maureen Lipman) flees the country to Australia, after being threatened by Karen’s demonic new lover, Damon. Living down-under and finding herself in the role of full-time child-minder to grand-daughter Cheryl-Marie, Irene takes a little too much comfort in the local viniculture.
Corresponding in their inimitable love-hate fashion, the Ladies reveal their lives to be run ragged by ingrate offspring, their equanimity threatened by said offspring’s lovers, and the compensating pleasure of grandchildren’s company. Irene sinks in wine and swims in poetry, while Vera gets an intriguing insight into the goings on behind closed caravan doors. Another hilarious romp with the unstoppable Ladies of Letters.

How could you not enjoy Maureen Lipman & Ann Read? They had me chuckling all the way through. This series has a good dig at modern attitudes, life and mores, very much contrasted against those of the heroines. (Not to say they're necessarily any better!) Absolutely loved it. Sent a copy to my friends abroad.

Ladies of Letters is a very simple concept but very effectively carried out by Anne Reid and Maureen Lipman.
The best of friends and the worst of enemies at the same time!!

For all of us who have followed Vera Small's and Irene Spencer's adventures via the BBC4 program Woman's Hour, it is a delicate matter to transfer the epistolary novels into a television show, but I do find that this production has managed to keep the old AND add something new, with the introduction of the actual images of our beloved ladies.
Back for season two are Vera, Irene, Anthony, Howard, Sabrina and the other people we've come to love!
This is a must for anyone who likes the Ladies of Letters!
