Dexter Fletcher John Rowe Nyasha Hatendi David Bamber Lucy Montgomery Sheridan Smith Chipo Chung Ben Crowe Emily Wachter Annette Badland Liz Sutherland Stephen Critchlow Jonathan Myerson (adaptation) The Way We Live Right Now was a BBC Radio Four adaptation of the Anthony Trollope novel The Way We Live Now, re-setting it in the present day. It was written by Jonathan Myerson for the Woman's Hour serial and broadcast on BBC Radio 4 in 15 episodes of twelve minutes duration over three weeks in June 2008.

Myerson updated Trollope's 1875 novel to show that financial venality was just as prevalent in 2008. Myerson found the modern equivalent of aristocrats-for-sale in "celebs". Myerson found the modern equivalent of a bogus railroad scheme in a Big Pharma antibiotic alternative.
