Should You Believe In Love At First Sigh...

Bbc Radio 5 Live
About this episode

Greg James and Bella Mackie didn’t pay much attention at school. So they’re asking Britain’s most inspiring teachers to show them what they missed in this series of fascinating and fun lessons.

This week it's Religious Studies with Mr Kundi. He asks Greg and Bella if they believe in love at first sight, and then explores what marriage means to different religious communities to see if that changes their view on what love means. We also hear how Greg and Bella got together, why their wedding was "functional", and why Greg might be willing to ghost his own hypothetical child.

Bad students of all ages are welcome. Expect brilliant teachers, captivating subjects but absolutely no homework.
