Taken from the third successful BBC Radio 4 series starring Patricia Routledge and Prunella Scales, these episodes see a trembling in cyberspace as Vera and Irene discover the joys of e-mail. There are the usual domestic mishaps to fret about: Irene's daughter Lesley is refusing to marry the worthy but boring Brian; Vera's exhausted daughter Karen has abandoned her third baby at the hospital and eloped with a male nurse; and Vera's gay son Howard and his partner Anthony are trying for a baby - with the help of a surrogate mother and a television crew. As Irene and Vera fall in and out of friendship they accuse each other of everything from alcoholism to metal illness (in a loving, caring way, of course). Their hilarious put-downs and gossip give a wonderful insight into the trials of modern family life.

As perceptive as Joyce Grenfell, as waspish as Hinge and Brackett, Vera and Irene's correspondence is as coruscating as ever...Dear Irene, Can't bear for you to fly half way round the world in violent outrage. It would give you flatulence and nothing is worse on a cramped plane. I've enclosed a photo of us  which is one of my favourites. It was taken in Capri by a gentleman who invited me to the casino...'Dear Vera, I remember the gigolo incident very well. You claimed you had 'forgotten' to take your spectacles out with you, so did not see the hourly rates written on the back on what you cared to think of as the gentleman in question's calling card...
