BBC Radio 4 - Drama on 4, What’s Love Got to Do with it?

Tina & Turner are madly in love, until they delete an app that manages their relationship.

Tina and Turner are a great couple, until they decide to delete the app that manages every aspect of their relationship. Tom Wainwright's near-future comedy about data and dating.

Tina and Turner are the perfect couple. Like everyone else, they use an app called Q to manage their love and sex life. Via their smart watches, Q can track everything from their body temperature to their work diary, using extensive data and ever-responsive algorithms to understand their mood, desires and turn offs, and cue their partner to act accordingly. 

But when Tina and Turner decide to ‘go analogue’ and delete Q, it’s far from plain sailing. Can they find happiness without the app? 

A near-future comedy about data and dating. 

Developed through the Wellcome Trust Experimental stories scheme.
