Man Alive - Living in Sin
Current affairs series Man Alive speaks to couples who, for various reasons, have decided not to take the traditional route towards marriage.
Some have been married before but are unable to obtain the divorces they need, while others just see marriage as an outdated concept. What are the effects of this on their children and how does wider society view couples who are "living in sin"?
Marjorie Proops, who is interviewed for this programme, was Britain's best-known agony aunt thanks to her column in the Daily Mirror, which ran for nearly 40 years. She had previously been fashion editor and women's editor at the Daily Herald and during her time at the Daily Mirror she spoke out on issues such as sex education, pre-marital intercourse and contraception.
