Description

Two series of Maureen Lipman's monologues and musings, plus four comedy dramas written especially for her'Marvellous' Daily TelegraphAward-winning actress and comedian Maureen Lipman has been entertaining audiences for over half a century.

Her career has encompassed film, theatre, TV and radio; she has written several bestselling autobiographies; and in 2020 she was made a Dame in the Queen's Birthday Honours List.

In this sparkling collection, the irrepressible 'Queen of Coronation Street' takes to the airwaves with her hilarious monologues, diverting duologues and amusing anecdotes - all recorded in front of a live audience.

Also included are four comedy dramas showcasing her manifold talents. Maureen & Friends finds her following in the footsteps of the late, great Joyce Grenfell as she brings her own incisive wit to the monologue tradition.

Series 1 finds her riffing on topics as diverse as Jane Austen, pesky rodents, stroppy teenagers, Balkan windscreen-washers and life in the Covid era; while in Series 2 she is joined by fellow actor Oliver Cotton to give life and opinions to a variety of comic characters, both human and animal - from a crossword whiz to a Canada goose. In A Month of Maureen, she stars in four comedy dramas specially scripted for her:Three Journeys tells the poignant, funny tale of a mother and son.

Five Lessons is a delightful comedy about a pianist and his pupil.

Dead Rellies centres around a revelatory trip to a Jewish cemetery.

Theodora Potts: Victorian Psychic is a surreal comedy-drama featuring a medium with a secret, who's about to meet her match. Among Maureen Lipman's co-stars are Jasper Britton, Julian Rhind-Tutt, George Layton and Tracy-Ann Oberman.
