Everyone craves a place where their mind and body are not applied to a particular task. The nearest faraway place. Somewhere for drifting and lighting upon strange thoughts which don't have to be shooed into context, but which can be followed like balloons escaping onto the air. Late at night, in the dark and in a bunk bed, your tired mind can wander. Patrick Marber and Peter Curran are joined by singer Guy Garvey and actor Rachel Stirling on the spare mattress. Can their marriage withstand the horizontal scrutiny? They ponder separate sleeping arrangements as the key to happiness, tweeting at night, the call of the Eider duck and depressing songs. Producer: Peter Curran A Foghorn Company production for BBC Radio 4, first broadcast in January 2021.
