The Seven Ages of Love

The Seven Ages of Love

From the thrill of first love to the sadness of facing the gradual loss of a partner to dementia, The Seven Ages of Love explores how love changes through the decades and why some loves last and others don't.

Ordinary people have their own stories put into specially commissioned verse by poet Luke Wright, as they talk about their experiences of love.

The couples include Britain's oldest newlyweds, who met aged 84 and 92 - living proof that cupid can strike at any time - and Yvonne and Reg, a young deaf couple in their 30s, who perform their poem in sign language.

Meanwhile, serial dater Andy knows how to get the girls, and how to drop them when they get too keen. He makes a living writing about his romantic - often hilarious - encounters for a London newspaper. In his poem he admits to 'being his own worst enemy'.
