The Other Man
Summary
Julian Rhind-Tutt stars as Travis, the ‘other man’ in love with a married woman, in this six-part romantic comedy. Travis meets Grace, the woman of his dreams. But she has one fatal flaw - a husband. And Travis and Grace aren’t the only people with complicated love lives - there’s also Travis' brother Charlie, Charlie's ex-girlfriend Alice and Travis' not-so-secret admirer Serena. As Travis and Grace try to get their illicit affair underway, events seem to be conspiring against them, and their plans are continually thwarted. When they are nearly caught out twice, Travis begins to wonder if he’s really cut out for infidelity - especially when he meets the other ‘other man’ in Grace’s life: her son. Meanwhile, the Serena/Charlie/Alice love knot shows no signs of untangling - so Alice decides to take matters into her own hands.

Second Thoughts
Summary
All four series of the BBC radio comedy drama about a couple experiencing love for the second time - plus special festive episode 'The Fight Before Christmas'. Bill and Faith are both divorcees, late in love but new to each other. As they battle to forge a relationship together, they discover that the course of true love doesn’t always run smoothly. In these 31 episodes, they move in together, plan a wedding and deal with the challenges of married life - all the while trying to balance the demands of Bill’s ex-wife, Liza, and her teenage children, Hannah and Joe. From bickering about the kids to worrying about money, trying to find time for romance and dealing with feelings of jealousy, the duo’s relationship comes under fire from all sides.
