Britain's Love Story

Britain's Love Story
Sunday 21 October 2007 10:45pm - 11:45pm on ITV1.

A new three-part series, Britain’s Love Story charts the revolution in modern love, sex and marriage in Britain during the last 50 years.

Celebrities and ordinary people with extraordinary stories reveal their most intimate experiences of love and marriage, from the generation who dreamt of true love back in the 1950s to today’s women who, empowered by the sexual revolution, risk it all on the men they choose to marry.

Each show explores common themes in the love experiences of each generation. The first show, True Love, looks at how youngsters in the 50s and 60s dreamt of true, everlasting love – and how they coped when the sometimes inevitable heartbreak followed. Forbidden Love looks at how young lovers began to openly defy restrictions of sex, class and race from the 1960s onwards.

Finally, Blind Love looks at the most obsessive love of all, in which an increasing number of us are giving up all we know – homes, families, friends and sometimes our own sanity - to follow our hearts and be with the loves of our life.
