Radio review - BBC - "When We Are Married" by J.B. Priestley (1994) **1/2

Priestly was good with a gimmick - this one has three couples who were all married on the same day 25 years ago discover they are in fact not legally married. It sets off a series of complications which to be honest aren't that interesting - it's mostly a look at bluff Priestley Yorkshire types, most of whom you can see coming a mile off (eg pompous and tight, career climbing, frustrated) but it's breezy enough with some good moments. Brenda Blethyn and Alan Bennett are in the cast.
