The last of six love stories about six different couples. Victor and Marilyn
Since 1971 Victor Lownes , the 55-year-old former boss of Playboy, has had an on-off affair with retired bunny Marilyn Cole , who is 20 years younger. For the past two years they have been faithful and there is even talk of marriage. (Remember, you read it here first.)
For Marilyn, who used to work at the Co-op in Portsmouth, it's a bit like a modern
Cinderella story. An estate in Hertfordshire, a house in Chelsea and a millionaire who keeps her in a style to which she wasn't accustomed. But does she ever feel like a kept woman? 'Oh no, I don't, he doesn't give me enough money.'
A slyly amusing programme

Homosexuals still face prejudice. Bernard and Dudley, who've lived together for 30 years, tell Claire about the pressures which force many gay people to live, love and finally to mourn in secret. They describe how they started The Gay Bereavement Project, which helps bereaved homosexuals. And Brenda talks about her determination to be open about the loss of her partner. The pressures which make life difficult for people who are gay also affect their parents. Norah tells Claire about her shock when she discovered her son was gay; and how 'Parents' Enquiry' helped her.
