Senior Moment by Peter Bradshaw
The playful, poignant tale of a middle-aged gentleman who has forgotten his middle name and much else. Read by Michael Maloney.
Ivor finds himself in a lavatory he knows not where, or why, apart from the obvious.
Increasingly anxious to remember not only his middle name, which is, he insists, on the tip of his tongue, he is also agitated about not recognising a series of people who address him in a friendly and familiar manner.
And then there's this grand house and its elegant lawns, and that woman, dressed in white, who's the spit of his late wife.
What IS going on?
Peter Bradshaw's playful and poignant look at the vulnerabilities of middle age - and the fear we all have of the ravages that getting older can bring with it.
Read by Michael Maloney.
