: A Certain Age: 1: The Mother
A series of six monologues about women, written by Lynne Truss.At a certain age, women gain huge confidence about themselves because they realise life is too short to worry about being shy and inferior. Six women have reached their forty-something years, and each has a very different, and sometimes surprising, story to tell.
Starring Siobhan Redmond.
Siobhan Redmond stars in the first of six women's monologues about the confidence that comes with age A Certain Age
11.30am R4 FM
According to experts in the field - and no man can convincingly claim to be one - by the time women reach a certain age, round about 40, they have enough self-knowledge to stop playing the shrinking violet and start behaving as if every day counts. That is the broad thesis behind these six monologues written by Lynne Truss, a writer with a rare combination of wit and insight. So we need not worry about the writing: what about the delivery? A half-hour monologue is not easy to sustain but producer Dawn Ellis has rounded up some excellent readers for the series, starting today with Siobhan Redmond telling the story of a woman examining her attitude to her daughter and the daughter's new boyfriend. Dawn French reads the last story in the series and the intervening four monologues are delivered by Rebecca Front, Lindsey Coulson, Janine Duvitski and Lesley Manville.

This site contains the BBC listings information which the BBC printed in Radio Times between 1923 and 2009. You can search the site for BBC programmes, people, dates and Radio Times editions.
We hope it helps you find information about that long forgotten BBC programme, research a particular person or browse your own involvement with the BBC.
Through the listings, you will also be able to use the Genome search function to find thousands of radio and TV programmes that are already available to view or listen to on the BBC website.
There are more than 5 million programme listings in Genome. This is a historical record of the planned output and the BBC services of any given time. It should be viewed in this context and with the understanding that it reflects the attitudes and standards of its time - not those of today.
To read scans of the Radio Times magazines from the 1920s, 30s, 40s and 50s, you can navigate by issue.
