BAFTA-nominated actress Maureen Lipman stars as Jane Lucas, writer for a problem page in a glossy magazine and radio agony aunt. A huge hit for ITV in the late ‘70s and early ‘80s, Agony lasted three series and produced a sequel fifteen years later. Based on the experiences of real-life agony aunt Anna Raeburn, Agony trod a thin line of black humour - the darkest joke of all being that Jane offers solutions to people on a daily basis, but can’t solve her own personal problems.
