Written by Lucy Flannery, Rent won the Writers' Guild Award for Best Radio Comedy. And as both couples find themselves saddled with unwanted guests, can they send them packing and get their lives back?

Richard and Maria discover they’re not as young and groovy as they’d thought, Paul gets his heart set on Ruby and Maria hears her biological clock ticking very loudly. Over the course of 24 episodes, the foursome go from being complete strangers to close friends. Their new housemates are two equally cash-strapped students - Ruby, who’s conscientious and dedicated, and Paul, who finds academic pursuits more of a challenge. With debts piling up and their house falling down, there’s only one thing for it: they have to start taking in lodgers. Maria and Richard Reynolds are happily married but broke. All four series of the award-winning house-share comedy starring Barbara Flynn and Patrick Barlow.
