St Valentine's Day is on Saturday, and like Christmas has become over-commercialised. Alison Rice follows the flight of Cupid's bow and arrow over the centuries to discover the origins of this day for lovers and the various traditions that used to be carried out. And at a time when we are traditionally affected by quivers of love, Dr Alan Maryon-Davies talks about what actually makes our hearts tick. He gives advice on how sufficient exercise and well-balanced, low cholesterol eating could avoid the increasingly common coronary diseases in later life.
