*our tune* by Simon bates back in the early 80s. Was on at 11am on Radio One.......I used to bolt back home during a school break to listen lol........heard the music to it on something else the other night and it made me remember ........some of the stories were really touching ..........but some of them used to make me yell at the radio and throw things at it lol xx

nvr herd of it is tht lyk the love links we have up here
they tell a love story n play three songs?

Yeah along those lines Stray........the story of a relationship.....usually one gone wrong..........then at some point he'd play their *tune*

The music is bugging me that used to play in the background.

Think it was from Romeo and Juliet but I'll have to go and google it now lol xx

I'm to young to remember. lol

something like that from what I remember...pmsl

Ooh Muffy, some of them stories were so sad:(

However, Bates is mainly remembered for Our Tune, which, from 1980, became a daily 11am feature of his show. Over the background of Nino Rota's theme to Franco Zeffirelli's 1968 film Romeo and Juliet, Bates would read a story sent by a listener. The story invariably had a theme of tragedy, often starting with a happy courtship but followed by a disaster such as illness or death. The story would conclude with a record chosen by the correspondent.
