00:00Being reduced to a swipe of the screen, there is one man who still believes in finding love
00:07the old-fashioned way. I met my wife, Fruitcake, in the street. She had this incredible smile,
00:15beautiful eyes, and there was the energy, and I couldn't control myself. I was drawn to her.
00:21Well, the dating app's like, it doesn't seem real. It's almost like a card game. It's like you're
00:29just collecting people. I've been ghosted, catfished. Where do I start? I've just been swiping,
00:36and nothing. There's just nothing. In the heart of Britain's most romantic city,
00:43Fred and his team are matching hopeful singletons in a place where love is always on the menu.
00:52It's been info everywhere. Mine will always get stuck on my boob shelf.
00:56These daters are searching for the one in the real world.
01:05I'm going to graze my knee this morning. I'm going to hold it for you.
01:10Oh my God.
01:13There's some...
01:15All right, what's the killing, all right?
01:17...stepping into the unknown...
01:19How are you with technology?
01:20Rubbish. I'm a dinosaur.
01:22Oh, thank goodness.
01:24If I want to get in contact with you, I'll have to watch that video.
01:26Take it to you, how do you sell?
01:28...can lead to surprising sparks.
01:31Look, you flush it. I don't know what's going on.
01:33...but finding a connection...
01:35What's the dynamic here?
01:38Epic is yours.
01:40...isn't always easy.
01:41Help me!
01:44In the end...
01:45Hey, hey, hey.
01:46...it comes down to one...
01:48Hello.
01:49Hello?
01:50...big...
01:50This is an awkward question.
01:52I agree.
01:53Do you guys want to see each other again?
01:55He-he-he-he-he.
01:56This is The First Dates Restaurant.
01:59Good morning.
02:14Hey, bonjour.
02:15Good morning.
02:17How are you feeling? We are back.
02:18Ready.
02:19Yeah.
02:20So we have two new members of staff.
02:22We have Gerald, who comes from New York, right?
02:24New York City.
02:25And we've got Kyle.
02:26Hello.
02:26I'm from Wales, South Wales.
02:28And, yeah, I've just come to see people falling along.
02:30What we do here is unique.
02:34And we have delivered now for how long, Merlin?
02:36Twelve years.
02:37Twelve years.
02:38Twelve years!
02:39You didn't have any gray hair when we started?
02:42No, did you?
02:43No.
02:43And I wasn't married.
02:46That's amazing.
02:47Yeah.
02:49My wife, she's coming down for a drink later on.
02:52Yeah.
02:53So...
02:53Woo-hoo!
02:55Okay, let's go.
02:56Let's do this.
02:57Let's go.
02:58Woo!
03:01Cocktail, a new one.
03:06Tired of waiting in the bath, 26-year-old Connor just wants to be taken seriously.
03:13I would say that I'm a see-all-dayer, to be completely honest.
03:16But I probably think the biggest misconception is that I'm, like, a massive cheater and this
03:21and that because I've got the turkey teeth, I've got the tattoos, I'm quite tall, I'm almost
03:26like a walking red flag, but, like, I'm actually a nice guy.
03:33Oh, oh, hello.
03:35That's a very selfish, short confident walk.
03:38Yeah.
03:39I think it's my last first date for a while.
03:41Come with me.
03:42Let's see what we can do.
03:43He's so smiling.
03:44Yeah, I know.
03:45And he's taller than Fred.
03:47Oh, congratulations as well.
03:48Thank you very much.
03:49Yeah, yeah.
03:49And hopefully it'll be me one day.
03:51Well, for sure.
03:52Well, you are here.
03:53I'm sort of at the stage now where I'm a bit too old for stuff.
03:57This shit's casual.
03:59I'm at Last Chance Saloon.
04:00Let me get you a drink.
04:01Can I get a Long Island ice tea?
04:03Long Island coming up.
04:05That's the strongest one.
04:06So I feel that will ease my nerves.
04:07So what kind of girls do you like, man?
04:10I usually go for someone that's a bit like a Barbie, I mean, it's like that kind of vibe.
04:14My other woman, I'll say, just someone that's quite fun-loving and, like, easy to get on with.
04:19But do you like a blonde?
04:21Not gonna lie.
04:23Hey, Barbie.
04:25I like your style.
04:27I heard you've described yourself as sexy and goofy.
04:32Yeah, I think when I said that, I'd probably had something to drink.
04:37But I probably had a glass of wine.
04:40Tech consultant Charlie is putting the numbers aside to discover the true formula for love.
04:48I love, like, analytical stuff.
04:52So yes, I am quite geeky.
04:56You are like a ray of sunshine.
04:59Do you go on mini dates?
05:01No.
05:01No, not really.
05:02I don't like to.
05:03I'm fed up with the dating scene.
05:06I don't want to be on dating apps.
05:08I would rather just talk to one person and get to know them.
05:11I'm not a serial dater.
05:13Do you know what you're looking for?
05:14Someone that's kind, confident, but not a show-off.
05:19Teeth is quite a big one for me, because I do stare at people's mouths quite a lot.
05:23Not in, like, a horrible way, but it's just nice that someone has, like, a nice warm smile.
05:27Hi.
05:30Are you all right?
05:30Nice to meet you.
05:31I'm Charlie.
05:32I'm Connor.
05:33Nice to meet you, Connor.
05:33What was the community like from heaven?
05:37That was very good.
05:38Can I get a margarita, please?
05:40Yes.
05:40Thank you so much.
05:42Where did you actually come from?
05:43Uh, London.
05:44Okay.
05:45Where do you come from?
05:45I live in Guildford, sorry.
05:47Oh, I know Guildford, yeah.
05:47We're fairly close.
05:49Yes, we are.
05:49What do you want to do for work, then?
05:50I work for a tech consultancy.
05:54Oh, okay, okay.
05:55Thank you so much.
05:56Thank you so much.
05:57You have lots of tattoos as well.
05:59Yeah, so I've got my leg.
06:00I've got one on my chest.
06:01Oh, my gosh.
06:02I've got one on my back as well.
06:03Nice.
06:04We'll save that for a second date.
06:05Yeah, fine.
06:07What do you do for work?
06:08You're really nice eyes as well, boy.
06:10My eyes?
06:11Yeah, you're really nice eyes.
06:12Thanks, yours are nice as well.
06:14Uh, I've got carpenter.
06:15Are you?
06:16Nice.
06:18Yeah, I like someone who's got hands on.
06:20Yeah.
06:21Yeah.
06:24You couldn't have picked that one better.
06:26Yes, this is awesome.
06:26We're starting, isn't it?
06:28Come with me.
06:29Let's go.
06:3129-year-old business owner Sophie is hoping to add romance to her agenda.
06:36I definitely did not used to look like this.
06:41Yeah, with bright-coloured hair.
06:43I used to work in the law, so tattoos weren't really kind of encouraged.
06:47I changed my career and started getting covered in tattoos.
06:56Nice to meet you, Sophie.
06:57I do.
06:57It's nice to meet you, Fred.
06:59What an incredible look you have here with all your tattoos.
07:02My children or my entire world.
07:05But I think I've got more love to give and it would be nice to be able to find another
07:10person to be able to share that with.
07:12Can I get you a drink?
07:13Yes, please.
07:14Can I have a porn star?
07:15Yes, you can, sir.
07:17How are you feeling about things?
07:19Yeah, I'm good.
07:20Good.
07:20I'm nervous.
07:22Natural.
07:22Totally natural, yeah.
07:23Talk to me about the sort of person you want to meet today.
07:25Um, so I'm actually looking for somebody that is an alternative woman.
07:32I'm a bisexual woman, so I'm looking for a romantic relationship with a woman.
07:38Um, I have female friends, but, you know, I think I'm looking for something that's a bit
07:42of a stronger connection than that.
07:44Um, I quite like tattoos.
07:46I like coloured hair.
07:47I like if it's people that embrace some individuality.
07:50It's a bit a bit different, outside the norm.
07:51My ideal woman is, like, Megan Fox.
07:58Sophie's date is Emily, a massage therapist who's a pro at releasing stress.
08:06Growing up, I was always, like, the weird kid.
08:09And to be honest, my mum was quite, like, punk, so she raised me on, like, the sex pistols.
08:15I was always taught to express myself and just be whoever I wanted to be.
08:22You're dressed to kill.
08:28I am.
08:28I'm giving fox leopards.
08:31Yeah.
08:31I was thinking Betty Boo, you know?
08:33Oh, yeah.
08:34Yeah.
08:34Yeah.
08:34I'm a fan.
08:35Yeah.
08:35Yeah, I love that.
08:37I identify as bisexual, which to me means I'm attracted to all women and a very specific
08:44type of man.
08:48Your date is at the bar.
08:49Who is it?
08:50Look behind me.
08:51Have a look.
08:51Can you see?
08:52You're on the bar there.
08:53I like alternative women, obviously.
08:55Tattoos.
08:56Just because we'd look cute together, to be honest.
08:59I love that for us.
09:00Enjoy.
09:01Have fun.
09:03Hello.
09:03Hi.
09:04Wow.
09:05I'm freezing.
09:06I'm so sorry.
09:07Nice to meet you.
09:10I'm Emily.
09:11Nice to meet you, Emily.
09:12You look stunning.
09:13So have you.
09:14So do you.
09:15I wasn't sure if this was a bit of OTT, but you know.
09:18No, I love it.
09:19I've honestly been so nervous.
09:21Have you?
09:22Now.
09:22I'm kind of chilled.
09:23You're feeling chilled.
09:24Yeah.
09:24That's good.
09:25That's good.
09:25No need to be nervous.
09:27No.
09:27No.
09:28No.
09:32Is it just me, or do you think that since he's been married, he is happier and a better
09:39mood?
09:40He just seems really happy.
09:41He certainly seems more settled.
09:43He's more grounded.
09:43Yeah.
09:44Maybe that's what it is.
09:50Do you have any funny, like, stories?
09:53Like, have you embarrassed yourself recently?
09:55Last year, I was seeing a girl, and she's put me on, like, a Facebook group saying, like,
09:59don't date this guy.
10:03Yeah.
10:03Oh, gosh.
10:04Why is that?
10:05Oh, I think she was just bitter, to be completely honest.
10:07I was, like, pretty sure out of her.
10:08I think she was a bit older than me.
10:10She was, like, eight years older, mate.
10:12Oh.
10:12And then when I, like, another date, maybe three weeks later, like, the day after she
10:17screenshot this and sent it to me, and, like, can I do better?
10:20I was, like, you don't even know, mate.
10:22Wait, what?
10:23Yeah.
10:23Oh, my gosh.
10:24Yeah.
10:24So, my dating life, it was a little bit cowluck, I'm not going to lie.
10:31Uh, I would say that we have commitment issues just because, like, my first girlfriend, she
10:37didn't cheat on me, but it was a bit like, you know, the roster racial situation, like,
10:39we were on a break.
10:40It was the same sort of thing, and, like, it's not really a nice thing to have happened
10:45to you.
10:46So, I just feel like since then, I'm, like, I'm scared of getting hurt, to be honest.
10:54I've taken a bit of a step back, like, I've deleted dating apps, I just feel as if now
10:59I've got the clear headspace to give someone my all.
11:04To be honest, when I saw you coming, I was like, Jesus Christ.
11:07I was like, I was like, I need you.
11:15How does the weight feel?
11:17A bit of nerves, right?
11:19But, yeah, it's, um, it's different.
11:22It's easy, definitely different.
11:25Isn't his day coming?
11:26Well, I hope so.
11:28What's your date in, like, history?
11:35So, I'm actually really not practiced in dating at all.
11:39Okay.
11:41This is my first date with a woman.
11:44Really?
11:45Yeah.
11:47Well, you're doing great.
11:48I would not think this was your first date with a woman, ever.
11:51Like, I'm not getting that vibe at all, so.
11:54I've always kind of thought I was bisexual, but never explored it.
11:58I'm too afraid to kind of come out about it.
12:01Yeah, of course.
12:02But it's nerve-wracking.
12:03And I'm glad they chose you.
12:05Yeah, I'm glad they chose me.
12:07And it's, like, yeah, it's such an honour to, like, be your first date.
12:13Well, you're stunning.
12:14So are you.
12:16Yeah, you are very my type, for sure.
12:18So, um, I'm married.
12:26Really?
12:27So, um, I have a question for you.
12:33And it's a bar.
12:36Would you like to meet it?
12:37So, this is a first.
12:52Yeah.
12:53It is.
12:54So, yeah.
12:57We found each other on Tinder.
12:59What was the first thing you said to me?
13:01You know, the muffin man.
13:02My response was, who lives until we relate?
13:06So, we bonded over Shrek, didn't we?
13:08Typical parents.
13:10That's exactly what they were about.
13:13Ricky.
13:14Are you ready?
13:15Yeah.
13:16Ready as I have a bit.
13:17Come on, man.
13:18Take your drink.
13:18Let's go.
13:21They call it thruple, don't they?
13:23We are looking for love.
13:24Yeah.
13:25We're looking for something that's long-term.
13:27We've got a lot of love to give, so...
13:29We definitely have.
13:30It'd be nice to sort of share it around.
13:32Hello.
13:33Hello.
13:34How are you, okay?
13:35I'm good.
13:36Going good?
13:37Going good.
13:37This is Ricky.
13:39Nice to meet you.
13:40Let me give you a hug.
13:42I'm Emily.
13:42Nice to meet you.
13:43Nice to meet you.
13:44Can I get another chair?
13:45Yes, please.
13:46You can have mine.
13:48It'd be nice to share the moments with another person.
13:51To find somebody that likes to cuddle up on the couch,
13:54just to kind of fit in.
13:55It's like a missing piece to a jigsaw.
13:59How are you?
14:00I'm good.
14:01How are you?
14:01How are you feeling?
14:03A bit more nervous.
14:04Well, actually, no, not as nervous as I was.
14:08Yeah.
14:08It's pretty good.
14:09I think I was very nervous.
14:12I think I might get another drink in a minute.
14:14Yeah, nice.
14:16I don't think it would work if the other person didn't fancy both of us.
14:21Because, obviously, that would be upsetting for one of us, wouldn't it?
14:25I think communication.
14:26A lot of it is communication.
14:27Yeah.
14:27It has to be there.
14:29It has to be paramount.
14:31Otherwise, there's just no point.
14:33There's no point.
14:34Good, but we've been having a nice time.
14:36We're, like, settled into the date now, and you're just, like, fresh.
14:40Hi, girl.
14:41Hey.
14:42We're, like, yeah, yeah.
14:43We both sort of tend to sort of like the same women.
14:48Yeah.
14:49I think you'd be able to tell if we like them.
14:51Definitely look at each other as my own way.
14:53You both get on, like, house on fire, it seems.
15:01It's amazing.
15:02You were very nervous to tell me about your situation.
15:06Yeah, so I said, so, I have a husband.
15:09And I was just, like, slay.
15:11You know what I mean?
15:12Like, so easy.
15:13Like, proper, like, couple goals, energy.
15:16You two.
15:18I have to say, since I got married, I'm on cloud nine.
15:21Oh, I love hearing that.
15:24You know, it was such an amazing day.
15:26We were in Jamaica, and it's the most ideal location in the world.
15:31It's so beautiful.
15:32Oh, my God, look at these.
15:34These are so amazing.
15:39Go to cheese salad.
15:40Yes, thank you.
15:42Nourish balls.
15:44Thank you so much.
15:46You're very welcome.
15:46Enjoy.
15:51I feel like I'd outgrown the relationship and the town I was living in with him.
16:20And I just needed to try something new.
16:23So, I moved to London two years ago.
16:27Kind of wanted to put myself in an uncomfortable position so I could grow as a person, which
16:33I feel like I have massively.
16:34Like, I wouldn't be doing this if I hadn't grown as a person.
16:37So, you're sort of, like, ready, yeah, for something.
16:41Yeah, I guess I hit, like, 28.
16:43And I was like, it would be nice to, you know, meet someone now.
16:46I have had enough alone time, but it would be nice to have a relationship that is the
16:53one that I stay in forever.
16:54This is lovely.
16:59Nice fun.
17:00I mean, the drink is really good, but you're good.
17:04You are as well.
17:05Thanks.
17:06You're like the first guy I've ever come back with.
17:09Shut up.
17:09Are you actually up?
17:10No, I'm not.
17:11You're 100% up.
17:13That's very sweet.
17:14And you're also very good, I think.
17:16Are you excited for your first Sable Pop of the day?
17:23Yeah, I'm confident already, yeah.
17:26And so it seems that we have talked before and laughed before, but who knows where or when.
17:41I think it might be appropriate, that song, because it's somebody's first time.
17:49Meet Derek, 89 years young and ready to serenade his way into one lucky lady's heart.
17:57I like to sing when I go on cruises.
18:00Oh, and I won the singing contest at the end of the cruise.
18:07I don't feel my age.
18:10That's at 89.
18:11I feel 65.
18:14Or less.
18:20Nice to meet you.
18:22You're so young at heart.
18:24I'm 20 going on 90.
18:25You're 90?
18:26In May.
18:27Wow.
18:28You look incredible.
18:31Should I take your jacket?
18:32Oh, please do.
18:35You dress very well.
18:36Do you travel a lot?
18:37I did a cruise in November.
18:40I go by myself now.
18:41You did not make any approaches to any other ladies, did you?
18:44Yes.
18:44Yeah.
18:44Yeah.
18:45So, did it work?
18:46I had a nice lady from Honolulu, and she was only 70 years of age.
18:50You are the king with the ladies.
18:52I don't know about that.
18:53Come with me.
18:54I'll take you to a table.
18:55You're the first to arrive.
18:57I'm old school.
18:58Open doors.
19:00Lift the chair away.
19:01Take the ladies' coat.
19:03This guy, he knows how to play the ladies.
19:05Yeah.
19:05Yeah.
19:05I'm a romantic.
19:08And I'd love to sing romantic songs.
19:11So what are you looking for?
19:12Somebody that's bubbly.
19:14Yeah.
19:14Outgoing.
19:15Yeah.
19:15I'd like to sing.
19:16You like to sing?
19:17I think.
19:18Cool, yeah.
19:18What I'm looking for, I think she's got to be friendly, as nicely dressed as I hope I would
19:25be for her, and can laugh, because I've got some silly jokes.
19:30And if she's interested in music, that's half the battle.
19:34What song could your dream day sing to re-win your heart?
19:39Lady.
19:41Lady.
19:43That's a nice song, isn't it?
19:45Could music be the food of love?
19:48For 77-year-old Jean.
19:52I can even tolerate Donnie Parton.
20:00Looking so elegant.
20:01Oh, thank you very much.
20:02Perfect.
20:04Should I take your coat, maybe?
20:05Yes, that would be lovely.
20:06I prefer an older man.
20:08If somebody's got a nice beard, and they've looked after themselves, and they've got groomed
20:13hair, but at the end of the day, isn't it the person themselves?
20:18Hello, I'm June.
20:21Okay, I'm Derek.
20:22Derek.
20:23Hello, Derek.
20:24Hello, dear.
20:25Hello.
20:26This is a rather super restaurant, isn't it?
20:28Lovely.
20:29Yeah.
20:29I've only been to Bath a couple of times, and it was only just...
20:33It's the most romantic city in Britain.
20:35Isn't it wonderful?
20:37When you meet in Bath, that's it.
20:39You look very nice, Britannia.
20:42You look rather lovely or smart.
20:45Nice to meet you.
20:53Nice to meet you.
20:53It's bad luck, otherwise.
20:55I don't want to fall in.
20:56Uh-uh.
20:57Well, that is strong.
20:59Another connection.
21:04I'm really scared about my hair setting on fire.
21:06Although we already are on fire, because our date is so low.
21:09Don't try to sleep.
21:12Okay.
21:14We only met like two hours ago.
21:16Fair enough.
21:19I actually fancied the pants up, but when she'd come in, I was like, I'm done.
21:23Absolute rocket to goodness.
21:26I am a little bit nervous to what the outcome's going to be.
21:29I've never met someone that I just sort of click with quite light, just quite easy to get on with.
21:35So, do you want to see each other?
21:46Like, I'd definitely be like to see you again.
21:49Would you?
21:51Yeah.
21:52Really?
21:52Yeah.
21:53Okay.
21:54I know obviously I hit it quite well, but...
21:55Yeah, you really hit it really well.
21:57Yeah.
21:58The attempt to kiss this was, you know.
22:02Now I'd like to see you again.
22:03Yeah?
22:04Yeah, we can see each other again.
22:06Nice one.
22:06If we can plan something even better than this.
22:09Yeah, yeah, yeah.
22:10I have the bill.
22:11Yeah, yeah.
22:11I'll get it, I'll get it.
22:13You bring out like a side to me that I'd like and just have fun in.
22:19Good.
22:22Nice.
22:22I know.
22:24I don't feel as if I'm going to try and be anything different around you.
22:28I just feel as if I could be myself.
22:30I mean, you can give me a kiss and shake.
22:39I've never watched this, Jane.
22:40I don't know.
22:41You don't want to hold my hand?
22:43Oh my God, I'll hold my hand.
22:44That's so sweet.
22:45I was watching television and they said, they advertised.
22:55Oh, I don't know if you've ever seen this naked attraction.
22:58Oh, yeah.
22:59I watched it.
23:00I was gobsmacked.
23:01I mean, I was like.
23:03Yeah.
23:04And I was tempted to say to my children, I'm going on a television program.
23:10And I was waiting for them to say, what program?
23:12And I was going to say, naked attraction.
23:14Oh, brilliant.
23:16Well, I am just going to pop to the toilet.
23:18So I'll be back in a moment.
23:19Of course.
23:21So, I have a date in who is in a polyamorous relationship.
23:31Right, okay.
23:32What's that mean, sorry?
23:33It means that they are happy to date more than one person.
23:38Nice.
23:38Nice.
23:39You know what?
23:40I take my hat off to them.
23:41Fairly.
23:43What's your experience with dating so far, like together?
23:48We've tried dating apps.
23:50They all seem to be wanting one thing.
23:54That's not really what we're after.
23:56Yeah.
23:56So you're looking for more like an emotional connection.
23:59I'd definitely say emotional connection rather than physical.
24:02Yeah.
24:02For being able to sort of cuddle on the sofa and watch a film.
24:09I think a lot of the time, like even for me, it's very much just like, hey, like dip in.
24:13Thanks for that.
24:14See you later.
24:14And now that couple is going to go and spoon on the couch and watch the true crime.
24:19And it's like, I don't want a spoon on my true crime.
24:22Do you know what I mean?
24:22And it's like, you do sort of miss that emotional bit, I guess.
24:27When I was in my late 20s, I discovered this thing, polyamory, non-monogamy.
24:34And I was like, oh, this is actually a thing.
24:37Like, so I started exploring it from there really.
24:39And now, yeah, I think that's just how I identify and I probably wouldn't look back.
24:44You seem like a really strong couple.
24:50I'd like to think so.
24:51You have to be a strong couple if you are going to sort of dip your toes in.
24:57I would like to be swept off my feet, to be honest.
25:01I think that's another misconception about non-monogamy as well, is that we're not really into the big dream of like being swept off our feet and stuff.
25:09We definitely are.
25:10Like, I'm such a romantic.
25:12I love all that.
25:13Part of it for me is like witnessing that love and that connection between the primary couple.
25:19People will be like, are you not threatened that that couple will never love you the same way that they love each other?
25:26And it's like, like it's, it's connection is connection.
25:30It's a process.
25:31Yeah, it's so true.
25:36I really need a weeb.
25:38I will vent to the loo.
25:46Are you getting on?
25:47Good, I think.
25:48Are you okay?
25:49Yeah, she just vent to the loo.
25:50What do you think?
25:52Yeah.
25:53Do you think she's like, into you?
25:58I am.
26:01What's this one here?
26:09This is, um, this is the infinity site.
26:11Um, I was, I was on holidays and I was really drunk and I thought that was a good idea.
26:16So, that's the door.
26:18I've got some really random tattoos.
26:20They're wicked.
26:20These are all women from films that I'm obsessed with.
26:25You see, you've got Regina George, you know Regina George, right?
26:26Oh, yes, I do.
26:27I love that.
26:27And then this is like Penny Lane from Almost Famous.
26:31Just strong, independent women, babes.
26:33You know what I mean?
26:34I love that.
26:36A Welsh dragon.
26:38A Welsh dragon.
26:38What is this, this little badge I can see?
26:45I bought this jacket in my leg with my wife.
26:48And, um, it's got a little bit of character to her.
26:50It's double-vested, you know.
26:51Um, so, um, I used to go on a cruise with my wife.
26:55Yeah.
26:55And, um, of course she passed away so I didn't go cruising.
26:59How long ago did you meet me as a wife?
27:01Uh, uh, three years ago, this month.
27:05Yeah.
27:07I sent my wife a Valentine's card every year we were married for 65 years.
27:14So I miss her terribly.
27:16I still think of her every day.
27:17I still say goodnight to her, say good morning to her.
27:20Her picture's there.
27:23All in all, she made me a better person.
27:26Yeah.
27:29Yep.
27:31I miss her.
27:37But as my friends and family say, you've got to move on, do it.
27:42You've got to live your life.
27:44You know, after losing my wife.
27:46And my kids said, you know, in an age now, well, you've got to,
27:49you know, the last five years, you've got to start to live your own life.
27:53I know my wife would love me to be with somebody.
27:57And my daughter says to me,
27:59there's a nice lady out there that's looking for you.
28:03It's really, you're looking for her.
28:05And I think, that's wonderful.
28:07You're fuzzy for me.
28:08Oh, really?
28:09I couldn't find any chocolate.
28:12Thank you very much.
28:14It's lucky that they got this far.
28:16I might have eaten them if I hadn't had a full English this morning.
28:18Yes.
28:19My train is at 6.
28:26What's the time now?
28:296.
28:30I ain't making that.
28:31No, you're not.
28:31And it's the last one.
28:33Yeah.
28:33I guess I'm in the bathroom and I go, so I might as well get comfy.
28:37Is she, like, your type?
28:41She's definitely...
28:42You did well.
28:43She is definitely our type.
28:44Yeah, she's definitely my type.
28:44Our type, yeah.
28:45Yeah.
28:48So, what happens if she comes in now and says that she wants to see you and me?
28:54Yeah, um...
28:57Right, you ready?
28:58That's good.
28:59Let's go ahead and go.
29:02It's all coming up.
29:03What's that about, you pop?
29:09How are you feeling?
29:11I'm good.
29:11I'm good.
29:12You guys OK?
29:12Yeah, good.
29:13Yeah.
29:16So, would you like to see each other again?
29:21Absolutely.
29:22Love to see you again.
29:23I think you're lovely.
29:23And I think, kind of, we had a really good connection, I thought.
29:27So, I'd love to.
29:28Yeah.
29:29I agree.
29:30I would love to see you guys again.
29:32They're really...
29:33No, yeah, I agree.
29:35Like, I think we had, like, such good vibe.
29:38Like, us.
29:38And then, obviously, when you joined us, it's obviously like, oh, God, is this going to derail the whole day?
29:44Like, but it didn't at all.
29:45Like, we all had a great vibe together.
29:48I'm glad you joined us.
29:50That was a nice little plot twist.
29:52Yeah, just a bit.
29:54So, our Fridays are probably going to look a little bit different from now on.
29:58Yeah.
29:58What do you reckon?
29:59Yeah, we've just got a new couch, haven't we?
30:01It's big enough.
30:01Is it big enough?
30:02Yeah.
30:02Yeah.
30:02Yeah.
30:02I'm so lucky.
30:14That's a new one.
30:16Let's go and have a drink.
30:18Come on, let's do it, let's do it.
30:20I owe you guys a few drinks, so let's do that.
30:23What should we do?
30:24Shots.
30:25Shots.
30:25Oh, hello.
30:29I have a little, uh, wedding gift.
30:32Oh, look at that.
30:33Federica and fruitcake.
30:34That's wonderful.
30:35I don't want them to see yet.
30:36Look at that.
30:36I'd get first signature.
30:38You'd get first signature.
30:39You're my main man.
30:40All right, how?
30:46Married, peh.
30:51You hot dad.
30:53We don't want to see some few of our friends thinking I'm adult.
30:55Probably more guilt these days.
30:56I'm kicking on.
30:58Wanting to prove there's more to him than meets the eye is single dad of three, Mike.
31:03Everyone thinks I'm a real lad, like people just see tattoos and probably just think I'm a
31:08bit of a rogue and a bit of a player and stuff.
31:10But I'm a massive softie, like, I'll find a joke in anything.
31:16Life's for living and laughing and that's what I'm here to do.
31:20How are you?
31:21My man crush, that is, right there.
31:23Nice to meet you, Mike.
31:24Aren't you all right?
31:25I am.
31:25So what's your type?
31:26What are you looking for?
31:27I ain't really got a type.
31:28You can't even explain what it is.
31:29It's like, I never liked small people.
31:31That was my biggest turn off, was small people.
31:33And I married a woman who was five foot tall, do you know what I mean?
31:36Well, in bed, we're all the same size.
31:38I wouldn't know that.
31:39It's been that long for her.
31:40I forgot, but it's apparently so.
31:42I just hope I'm not too much sometimes.
31:45You can take us home if you want, Fred.
31:46I've always said you want a man crush.
31:49Come on, let's go.
31:50If I'm in a situation where people don't know,
31:51it'll be quite awkward because I won't shut up.
31:53Yeah, they'll be like it is.
31:55I'll try to cocktail, Fred.
31:56Are you paying, Fred?
31:58I'll say stupid things because I don't have a cope with a particular situation.
32:03And then that can make us go across as a real twat.
32:05If I can get on, I'll have a laugh.
32:07What more?
32:08Do you know what I mean?
32:08I never go out these days, so as long as I have a laugh and that, you know what I mean?
32:12What if I meet somebody who can make us smile, taking some of that loneliness away?
32:18That's the nice thing about it, because you don't know who it is, you know what I mean?
32:20It's exciting, you know what I mean?
32:21I'd love a fit best mate, that's what I'd love, you know what I mean?
32:25But where I can have my life, I don't know.
32:28Hopefully it's worth it.
32:30Oh, it was worth the wait.
32:31Oh, it's my hair okay?
32:34Hi!
32:34Hi!
32:35Hoping to cut out dating bad boys is hairdresser, Carly.
32:42I started seeing a guy last year, it was going great, and then I found out he was actually
32:48going to prison.
32:49I know I need to stay away from them.
32:51So I'm looking for someone that's family orientated, and just somebody's heckling in life.
32:57I laugh a lot, so somebody has got to make me laugh, and that's a big, big thing for me.
33:04How are you?
33:07I'm fine, thank you.
33:08You're looking amazing.
33:10What kind of man are you looking for?
33:12Tall, dark, handsome would be nice.
33:14Any other particularity that you like?
33:17A bit of facial hair's nice.
33:18Yes.
33:19Tattoos, because I've got quite a few tattoos myself.
33:21So are you ready to meet you?
33:22I'm ready.
33:23Come with me.
33:24I'm ready.
33:26Oi, oi, first of all it is.
33:28Hi, how are you?
33:29Yeah, I'm very well, yeah.
33:30Yeah, Jim, good to meet you.
33:31Hey, lovely.
33:32Oh, you're cold, isn't it?
33:34It's freezing.
33:38Thank you very much, Fred.
33:39You've done very well.
33:40First thing I've been punching a long time, this is, Fred.
33:44Oh, my goodness.
33:47What's your poison?
33:49Cocktail-wise, I love a born-style martini.
33:53How much is it?
33:53I'm just checking the price before I order it.
33:55Fuck, I'm a single dad.
33:57I'm sure.
33:58Get out of the cider.
34:00You'll get used to me.
34:01I just saw it.
34:02I like someone that can make laugh.
34:06Well, you're in for a trip tonight, then.
34:08Not much to look at, but I'm fully as fuck.
34:10I mean.
34:13How are you with your technology?
34:15Rubbish.
34:16I'm a dinosaur.
34:17Oh, thank goodness.
34:18And this is what I'm finding.
34:20How do you meet somebody?
34:22Very difficult.
34:23And my children thought, if I go on to one of these websites, well, that was an awful nightmare.
34:31I mean, I feel like a dinosaur to be part of it.
34:34Yeah, totally, I am.
34:35When I go around, and I'm going to the ballet, or I'm going somewhere, I seem to be the only one on my own.
34:44Everybody's there with their partners, their family, whatever.
34:49And I prefer to be with somebody.
34:54That's what I'm missing, somebody to do these things with.
34:58I would enjoy a nice cuddle, and just holding hands with somebody, and somebody to be there genuinely for me.
35:12Yeah.
35:12I mean, I've been known to take videos of my own feet, for goodness sake.
35:18It's all right.
35:20I'm glad.
35:21Yeah.
35:22Many times.
35:23Filming at the back.
35:24How on earth did I do that?
35:26Both as bad as each other.
35:27Cheers, it's nice to be somebody.
35:29Oh, I'm so happy about that.
35:33Let's go, let's do it, let's do it, let's do it.
35:35Write whatever you want.
35:41Beautiful.
35:42You do look very sun-kissed.
35:47First compliment I've had, you look sun-kissed, thank you.
35:51Yeah, you're not one for the compliments, I've noticed.
35:53You know, fishing and fishing, you know, good compliment.
35:57Yeah, the saddest of times.
35:59I've managed to get through them all through the power of laughter, and it's been massive, and especially through recent situations in my life.
36:05So, you've got kids, then?
36:06That's right, yeah.
36:07I've got three kids, all the same, man.
36:09Really?
36:10Oh, my goodness.
36:11It's like, mate, Adam and I, like what the, Adam and I have to tell you, whatever, my wife's dead, like.
36:15Oh, okay, oh, I'm sorry to hear that.
36:19Yeah, but I've been with her nearly 22 years.
36:21Yeah, oh my gosh.
36:22I was, yeah, yeah, yeah.
36:23Julie had cancer of the esophagus.
36:27Give her a prognosis of three to six months delivery.
36:29She was, like, she was the purest, nicest person.
36:36The best, the best mom in the world, like.
36:40She didn't deserve it, and really didn't deserve it.
36:45As soon as my wife died, like, I was so lonely, I just didn't know what to do with myself.
36:49Like, I'd just be sitting in the dark, everything, like, the kids would come down and say, Dad, what are you doing?
36:52I'd say, oh, just chilling.
36:54Yeah.
36:55And life had to go on, I couldn't crumble, like, my children need her, there's more than ever.
37:01She passed it, then.
37:02Yeah.
37:03So now I'm a single dad with three kids, like, yeah.
37:05I bet that's really hard.
37:06Being a parent anyway is hard.
37:08It is.
37:08But living it on your own life, yeah, it is on your own life.
37:10I've raised them 24-7 later.
37:13I'm going to have three new moms for my children.
37:15I'm never, ever going to meet another Julie, never going to get 1% that I've got to have with her again in the future.
37:20I'll be a happy man.
37:24You've got very nice harpies.
37:26Oh, thank you.
37:27You've got a very nice harpies.
37:28Very blue.
37:29What do you notice like that, then?
37:30See, there's a compliment.
37:31It is a very nice cup.
37:33You've got very nice, um, tattoos.
37:37And very nice teeth.
37:39Everything I've listed on yours, then.
37:41It's been a lot.
37:43Thanks.
37:44I am a Belém.
37:45Yeah, I mean, I'm a Belém.
37:47No, but I like that.
37:48But if I'm laughing and blurring, it means I like it.
37:50So I'm winning that at the moment.
37:53Oh, 100%, yeah, 100%.
37:54That's all right.
37:59I've not been going to the gym recently because of my injury.
38:03But, yeah, I do the roll machine.
38:06Yeah, and how much can you press?
38:07The ski.
38:09240 pounds, you won't wait.
38:12I do what they call the sumo squats, because it's supposed to be good for you.
38:15Where you have your legs wide and your feet open.
38:18Oh.
38:19And you come down.
38:20Oh.
38:20The sumo squats.
38:21How am I?
38:21You don't have to be fat and...
38:23You're supposed to...
38:23You're supposed to...
38:24You're supposed to give you a note.
38:32I wear something with a low cleave.
38:36You should have done.
38:37No.
38:37I don't have anything.
38:39Merci beaucoup.
38:40Nothing I'm adamouselves.
38:46How long do you eat?
38:4743.
38:4843?
38:48You went and go, whoa!
38:5043?
38:51You're waiting a meal.
38:52Because I'm, like, 36 this year, so I've definitely been closer.
38:54Oh, well, yeah, probably like 18.
38:56See, I was better.
38:57I'm more enthusiastic.
38:59How long were you with your ex for, like?
39:0212 years.
39:03What happened?
39:04He was seeing someone from the max, and...
39:06Shit.
39:06It's one of them, and it happens.
39:07Yeah, it does, but...
39:09Um...
39:10Because 12 years is a long time.
39:11It fucking is, yeah.
39:14I didn't realise what a heartbreak was, um, until we broke up.
39:18When somebody has broken your trust, it is really hard to put your trust into somebody
39:23else again, but I'm really happy with how my life is right now.
39:27I'm just missing that certain someone to share it with.
39:33Are you a good girlfriend?
39:34No.
39:35At least you're honest.
39:36I've never had to do this.
39:37Like, my wife was old school.
39:39Like, I'm not saying you should do that, and I'm not saying that's what I mean, but my
39:43wife was, like, literally, like, a 1920s housewife.
39:45She used to do them all.
39:46I think that's the way it should be, just because...
39:48Like, old school?
39:49Yeah, 100%.
39:50Like, when me and my ex were together, every night she would be, like, waiting, do you
39:54know what I mean?
39:55But that's why...
39:55Would you cut the lawns?
39:57Oh, I love cutting lawns.
39:58Fred, we're going to marriage.
40:00Come on.
40:01Could you see the bins out on a Monday morning?
40:03Oh, yeah.
40:04Two seconds.
40:04I'm just going to ring the kids.
40:06She cuts the lawns and takes the bins out.
40:09Yeah, sound I'll bring up on.
40:11Trash.
40:13Oh, my goodness.
40:14You do make me laugh.
40:20You go away.
40:21You're too...
40:21I'll go away.
40:22You're too handsome and too tall.
40:25I wanted to speak to you, Mr. and Mrs. Fred.
40:27I was wondering, do you fancy a little dance?
40:31I don't dance.
40:33You don't dance?
40:34But she sings.
40:36You make me feel so young.
40:42You make me feel that's free as fun.
40:48And every time I see you, you're such a happy individual.
40:55I want to go and bounce a move.
40:59I want to go and bounce a move.
40:59Just like a toy balloon.
41:03You and I are just like a couple of tots.
41:12Running across the meadow.
41:15picking up lots of forget-me-nots.
41:19You make me feel so young.
41:22You make me feel so young.
41:24Certainly Jill, I think she's a winner as far as I'm concerned.
41:28I certainly fancied that lady.
41:31You make me feel so young.
41:35You make me feel so young.
41:39You make me feel so young.
41:40You make me feel so young.
41:45Wow.
41:47That's super cute.
41:49Wow, wow, wow.
41:50Would you like to see each other again?
42:00On the count of three. One.
42:03I can't count.
42:05One.
42:06Two.
42:07Three.
42:08Yes!
42:13Everything about this lady is amazing.
42:15I'm very lucky.
42:17Cheers!
42:22But we laughed as we're laughing now and talking.
42:25Yeah.
42:26Brilliant, yeah.
42:28Right, let's go and have a nice coffee.
42:30A nice routine.
42:32Lovely.
42:36And how about you teaching me to do a little boogie?
42:39Why not?
42:40Well, that drink's a lovely man.
42:47Oh, that is good.
42:49Really? I prefer that mine to yours.
42:51Yeah, I prefer yours to mine as well.
42:53I make...
42:55Oh, you bastard.
42:57Whoopsie.
42:59Just to turn you on to a run inside me thighs.
43:03It was a strategic move, honestly.
43:05It was the plan.
43:06It wasn't me being it.
43:07So I had...
43:08The whole part of the plan.
43:09But she was beautiful, like.
43:10Lovely girl.
43:11I would definitely give her a spot in credit.
43:13Yeah.
43:14What can I give too much away, like, in case you walk me off next?
43:19No, no, honestly, no, like, splits.
43:21Oh, stop being noble, I'll get it.
43:23I got me family allowance today, it's all right.
43:26All right?
43:29Oh, yeah.
43:36Would you like to see each other again?
43:38Yeah, yeah.
43:39Definitely.
43:40Oh, bloody hell.
43:41Okay.
43:43Yeah, yeah.
43:44Yeah, yeah.
43:45She's making herself nice.
43:46Really friendly, really nice, and...
43:47She ain't too bad on the Irish.
43:51I'll be gentle and get the door going.
43:53Definitely a bit of me.
43:55Ooh, bloody hell.
43:56Definitely, yeah.
43:57I've always said if someone could make me laugh, then...
44:00That's it.
44:01Ugly fuck, I don't know.
44:02You can't have that.
44:03Ugly man.
44:04It would make us laugh.
44:06Nice.
44:07Nice.
44:08Ooh.
44:12Maybe your one-liners are good.
44:15Jokes are good.
44:16Yeah.
44:17I think you're laughing.
44:18Hey!
44:19Hey!
44:20How are you?
44:21Oh, no.
44:22How are you, Mrs. Syriac?
44:23Oh, good, thank you.
44:24Lovely to see you.
44:25Lovely to see you, too.
44:26I bet that's a successful first day.
44:27I would say yes.
44:28Yeah.
44:29Agreed.
44:30Yeah.
44:31I agree.
44:32The first time anyone has loved me.
44:33Whoa-oh-oh.
