Episode Synopsis

The Curate's Egg Vol.2 – Valentine's Special

“If love is about understanding, respect, virtue and individuality, the offensive quality of Valentine's Day stems from the conformity it attempts to instil in lovers. We are supposed to follow a particular script suggested to us by a combination of industries. But love is an attempt to get away from clichés, to set up a small community in which our own idiosyncrasies can flourish, and in which we are recognised for our particularities.” (Alain de Botton)
