Answer 4

Over the background score of Franco Zeffirelli's 1968 film Romeo and Juliet, Simon  Bates would read out a true story sent by a listener. The story invariably had a theme of tragedy running through it, often starting with an initially happy courtship but followed by a disaster, such as an illness or death. The story would conclude with a record chosen by the correspondent. Although many bemoaned the largely mawkish nature of the feature, it was widely listened to and earned Bates much popular acclaim.
