Our lives - now
Love at First Sight
Narrated by Felicity Kendal 'I saw an absolute Adonis with golden curls asleep in a chair.' Elizabeth remembers the moment, over 60 years ago, she first glimpsed a Greek god - now Lord
Longford. It was love at first sight, an improbable, unpredictable and unforgettable experience no one believes in - until it happens to them.
For Henrietta and John, it was a brief encounter on a train. For Nick and Lisa, it was a meeting ordained not only by destiny but also by her mother. For teenage Dave it began with a nightmare kiss in the park from an 11-year-old called Val.
But what became of these first-sight lovers? Do their stories end in laughter or in tears? Tonight they recall that first enchanted meeting - and how it changed their lives.
