One Pair of Eyes — Season 1, Episode 24: Marjorie Proops: Romance Is Dead - Long Live Romance

Episode synopsis

Romance stopped being romantic when they all started calling it sex. Women are no longer treated as the gentle sex; chivalry is old hat; it's 'Happy now - to hell with ever after.' Marjorie Proops, Britain's best-known woman columnist, lays bare our unromantic age, and yet she believes that deep down there's a bit of romance left in all of us.
