What is the late night radio melancholy show called?

[Jellyb39]

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"

Late night love with Graham Torrington ??

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

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…

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??

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

I've found it, PHEW!

All of this because the dog looked sad and I wanted to play that music as he eyeballed the kids sweets he isn't allowed 😂

Our Tune

Our Tune wasn’t late night 😄

11am on Radio 1 - loved it! 😄

It's the the music from Romeo & Juliet, the film from the 60s

It was mid morning, did you work nights?

I remember being at College … and everything stopped for Our Tune. People had calamitous lives !

I always remember the one where a little girl had died from illness and her parents wanted “Sweet Child of Mine” by Guns N Roses because she’d loved rock music.

Very poignant.

"She was pregnant, with a capital P"

I recall being about 12 and my older sister listening to this at about 1am, was it repeated? I could be completely muddling up memories.

@Monstermissy36 I used to love LNL with Graham Torrington back in the late 90s/early 2000s! Was it a national programme or were you a Midlander too? Bring back GT I say!

Are you young OP, no one can forget Our Tune 😁

My DM would always have this on.

I listened to this as a teen and just assumed it was based at our local station. I'm now also curious!

Omg I was going to say the same!!

There was Moments in Love in the evenings, I think on Capitol Radio. I'll have to ask DH the DJ's name, he has always been more into slushy tunes romantic than me. The music was Moments in Love by Massive Attack.

Meant to say, that was in the late 80s

I used to love The Peaceful Hour on Radio City, when they read out listeners love stories and messages with Love Theme from St Elmo's Fire in the background 🥰.

I always assumed late night love was local as i listened on our local station I think but I think it was national and just aired on local radio… I’m in Norfolk! Graham retired in 2020… yes I fell into a rabbit hole of where is he now last night 😂

we used to have a late night love thing on our local radio when I was growing up. The presenter would read out a sad story with depressing music playing. It was just a local radio thing.
