What is the late night radio melancholy show called?

Was it Love Links? A story about love usually read out by the radio presenter with melancholy music playing.

Something like "Matt and Sarah went there separate ways. The years passed by and they both married other people"

I know you said late night but it sounds like Our Tune with Simon Bates?

It's driving me crackers now. I think it was called Love Links and may have been a regional show. Some slow classical music would play while the DJ dramatically and slowly read out the story. I think it did include 3 songs requested. It was read more like a story about people rather than a letter from someone. Does that sound like the same thing??

Ahh I know Graham used to read stuff out people had written in for song dedications with their story of love 😂 I loved it although it was about 25 years ago…

No, it was more of a story read to music, not always romance
