BBC Radio 2 Announces Ultimate Rom-Com Listener Vote
BBC Radio 2 has launched a vote for the Ultimate Rom-Com listener.
The most popular film, as voted for by listeners, will be revealed just in time for Valentine's Day.
From Richard Curtis to Richard Gere, and from Doris Day to Dustin Hoffman, James' hand-picked shortlist takes in more than 80 years of classic, feel-good, romance-filled films. But it's up to listeners to decide who will be crowned the nation's favourite.
James King said: "Rom-Coms come in all shapes and sizes but they nearly all have one thing in common: an utter belief in true love. Boundaries such as class or culture, politics or personality, are swept away in pursuit of a happy ever after. Predictable? Sometimes. But there’s something so comforting about rom-coms too - a flash of optimism that points to a more hopeful world. So do place your vote to let Radio 2 know YOUR favourite rom-com of all time!"
Laura Busson, Commissioning Executive for Radio 2, said: "Radio 2 features some of the biggest movie stars across our schedule, so we're delighted to be launching this vote to find our listeners’ favourite rom-com and share the feel-good vibes that come from this much-loved genre."
The vote opened at 8.00pm on Tuesday 4 January and closes on Tuesday 25 January at 23.59pm.
