Acclaimed writer A L Kennedy muses on the hell that is other people.

As someone so unable to deal with other people that she works at home, making up imaginary friends, who even then don't always behave, A L Kennedy admits to not necessarily being the best person to dish out advice on relationships. However, in this series she wonders whether she's perhaps been a little harsh when it comes to 'other people'.

Today she tackles fullscale, walking on sunshine, singing in the rain love - surely the most terrifying word of all that we associate with 'other people'.

Written and read by A L Kennedy, the award-winning novelist, dramatist and broadcaster. Producer: Justine Willett.
