11.30AM, RADIO 4 HHHH Katherine Jakeways fans – and we are many – are in for a treat. First, we have the second episode of her comedy about Rav and Vicky, newlyweds much besieged by relatives. Rav thinks he’ll be able to get away with cooking spaghetti carbonara for just the two of them, but Joe, Lisa, Vicky and Uncle Bob have other ideas. Later today, we get another Jakeways comedy drama (see below). Oh joy!

David is flying to Chicago to start a new job, and Suzie plans to surprise him by arriving at the airport with a ticket to the Windy City, but there are many obstacles on their flight path in this final part of Katherine Jakeways’s delightful romantic comedy.
