A special programme for the spring season Courtship
Narrator David Attenborough
We kiss, fondle, and croon; some birds sing, others show off, crabs semaphore, and many mammals just smell good. These are all different methods of impressing a mate.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of each of these love languages? How did they evolve, and can our own courtship be compared with those of other creatures?

Tonight, from BBC North West:
What would you do if you were told you had three months to live? ... What you do is carry on living as normally
(Tony Whiteley)
Tony Whiteley was 34 years old when he was told he was going to die. His son Joseph was three years old and his wife Vivien was pregnant with their second child. 'We just decided that we would act positively ...and make the best possible plans for me and the children so that we would not be left in any sort of mess and so that Tony would feel he had done the. best he could and not left us in any sort of distress.'
(Vivien Whiteley)
' And we all have to help each other - patient and relative and doctor - in the conquest over the fear of death; because this society, perhaps more than any other, is extremely bad at dealing with this facet of life.'
(Professor at a University Hospital)
