I'm Sam.
And I'm Neil.
Your friend, Alicia,
phoned and left you a message for you, Neil.
She's sorry but she has to cancel lunch today.
I think she's going with Jenny, instead.
That's the third time this week
they've had lunch together!
Are they best friends now?
It sounds like Neil has a case of the green-eyed monster,
in other words, jealousy – the fear
that someone else may take something you think is yours.
Humans have struggled with jealousy for thousands of years.
Jealousy damages friendships,
destroys relationships, and can even become a motive for murder.
In this programme, we'll discuss jealousy to find out happens
when the green-eyed monster raises its ugly head.
And, as usual, we'll be learning some useful new vocabulary.
Meanwhile,
my friend Alicia will be having lunch with Jenny instead of me...
