ONE TO ONE

9.30AM, RADIO 4 ★★★★

GUT

2.15PM, RADIO 4 ★★★★★ ‘I’ve opened a door in my mind and I can’t shut it again.’ Lucy and Rory have a night away from home while Rory’s mother, Morven, looks after their threeyear-old son, Joshua. Casually, Morven mentions an incident that happened while she was out with Joshua. Lucy and Rory are disturbed by it, but try to dismiss their worries; then, anxiety takes root in Lucy’s mind. As the days pass, she broods on what might or might not have happened. Fear takes a grip on her mind, threatening her sanity and the family’s happiness, in this vivid and all too believable drama.

OUT OF OFFICE

4PM, RADIO 4 ★★★

Ruth Barnes looks into the intimidating modern business of being interviewed online, and hears how job-hunters are now using gaming apps to help them to identify their own strengths and weaknesses.

CLARE IN THE COMMUNITY

6.30PM, RADIO 4 ★★★★

Sally Phillips turns in another fine performance in this sitcom about a bossy, smug social worker called Clare, who is white, heterosexual and comfortably off, but feels that this puts her at a disadvantage. This week, she pays a visit to her client ‘unlucky Louis’ – but Clare doesn’t believe in bad luck, so what could possibly go wrong? Sharp, funny and a tiny bit cruel. SJ
