Fi Glover presents friends, relatives and strangers in conversation as we emerge from lockdown and adjust to the 'new normal'. In this week's programme, teachers - recorded just before their return to school last week - discuss the difficulties they are going to have to face from day one of the new school year; A Level students recall the strange experience of picking up their results last month and talk about their worries and expectations as they approach their first year at university; graduates discuss the things that Covid has taken away from their university experience; and newlyweds, both in their thirties, both passionate about their jobs - and both with secondary cancer - reflect on this shared experience that has brought them together. Producer: Mohini Patel
