The 5 x 3" shorts are filmed as Skype conversations between a tormented stay-at-home dad played by Henry and his jet-setting executive wife (Caroline Catz). The disconnected couple try to hold onto their marriage by the thin wireless connection that links their computers.
The films have been produced by Jez Swimer, Development Producer for Leopardrama. Lenny Henry co-wrote the series with Mark Hurdle and Wiley Vreeland with Matt Lipsey directing.
'Conversations with My Wife' was commissioned by Simon Lupton, Executive Editor for BBC Comedy and Martin Trickey, BBC Multi-Platform Executive to form part of the BBC's newly launched comedy website, featuring both classic and cutting edge comedy.
'Conversations with My Wife' is the second digital-only production from the Leopard Films stable, following the series of short films entitled My Story, produced for BBC RaW.
