Three stories, three generations, three toilets. Set on the day of a big family wedding, ‘The Fourth Dog’ is a comedy about heredity, identity and love.
Feedback from one of our listeners:
“Thanks! What a treat. I laughed! I cried! I was surprised! Lovely story, great performances and super production.”

It’s The Big Day, but things aren’t quite going to plan. Katie’s realised she can’t just ‘wing it’, Alice can’t face playing Mother of The Bride, Deedee can’t bear being on the edge and Valda can’t get out of her wheelchair without the help of her husband, Peter, who just can’t help himself. Then there’s Andy, who’s beginning to think he ‘just can’t’….

A word from the writer:
Zena Forster, writer of The Fourth Dog
Zena tells us: “I’m delighted that The Fourth Dog has been chosen to launch this exciting new project. Although I have done some adaptations, this will be my first original piece for radio so you can imagine how thrilled I am. After talking to A Word In Your Ear, I feel confident that my play is in safe hands – they laughed, they cried, they were surprised, and in nearly all the right places too!”
