BBC Radio 4 - Love on the Main Line, Episode 1 - London Victoria

Classic romcom written by Colin Bytheway that asks if there's a place for data in dating.

Data analyst Jess upends comedian Kev’s life at Victoria Station, leading him to think about life, love and revenge.

Jess Searle's life is mapped out like a timetable.  A successful data analyst, she’s created her own dating app to find your perfect match.  It worked for her!  She found devilishly handsome Jean-Baptise and they will be married at the start of the new year. Everything is running to schedule. Until she meets cynic and sceptic Kev Warmley - a stand up comedian who believes love cannot be determined by an algorithm but by the rhythm of your heart. And the odd fart joke. Is Jess’s life about to be completely derailed? Or will she find Love On The Main Line...?
