Just the Way You Are

Joanna’s making Roger’s New Year resolutions, including a marriage reboot. Starring Roger Allam and Joanna Lumley. From 2020.

Joanna Lumley and Roger Allam star as a couple who have been married ‘forever’.

Children of the 1960s, they’re still free spirits, drawn together by their passion for music and each other. Their recognisable warm and witty conversations dance around everything from health scares, jealousy and confessions, to TV incompatibility and sourdough bread.

In this episode, Roger gives Joanna a masterclass in dishwasher stacking while Joanna instructs him on how to wave goodbye to departing guests.

As the turbulent year turns, Joanna makes some New Year Resolutions - for Roger - and suggests their marriage needs a re-boot’.

Out the door?’ is his response.
