00:19beautiful eyes and there was the energy and I couldn't control myself I was drawn
00:25to her. On the dating apps like it doesn't seem real it's like almost like a card game
00:34it's like you're just collecting people. I've been ghosted catfished where do I start
00:39I've just been swiping and nothing there's just nothing. In the heart of Britain's most
00:46romantic city Fred and his team are matching hopeful singletons in a place
00:54where love is always on the menu. Mine always gets stuck on my boob shelf. These
01:02daters. How old are you? Old enough for you. Are searching for the one. Oh my god. In the
01:09real world. I grace my needles this morning. Falling for you. Oh my god. For some,
01:20stepping into the unknown. How are you with the technology? Rubbish. I'm a dinosaur. Oh thank
01:28goodness. If I want to get in contact with you I have to whatsapp me here. Don't get too
01:32ahead of yourself. Can lead to surprising sparks. You keep flashing. I don't know what's going
01:38on. But finding a connection. What's the dynamic here? Epic is yours. Isn't always easy. Help me. In the
01:50end. It comes down to one. Hello. Hello. Big. This isn't awkward. Question. Hello. Do you guys want to see each other again?
02:00This is the First Dates Restaurants.
02:05Good morning. Good morning. How are you feeling? We are back. Ready. Yeah. So we have two new members of staff. We have Gerald who comes from New York, right? New York City.
02:29And we've got Kyle. Hello. I'm from Wales. South Wales. And yeah, I've just come to see people fall in love.
02:37What we do here is unique. And we have delivered now for how long, Merlin? 12 years. 12 years. 12 years!
02:44You didn't have any grey hair when we started. Nor did you. No. And I wasn't married.
02:50That's amazing! My wife, she's coming down for a drink later on.
02:57Yay!
02:58So...
03:00OK, let's go. Let's do this. Let's go.
03:02Let's go. Woo!
03:06Cocktail, a new one.
03:07Tired of waiting in the bath, 26-year-old Connor just wants to be taken seriously.
03:17I would say that I'm a serial dater, to be completely honest.
03:21But I probably think the biggest misconception is that I'm like a massive cheater and this and that.
03:26Because I've got the turkey teeth, I've got the tattoos. I'm quite tall. I'm almost like a walking red flag.
03:33But, like, I'm actually a nice guy.
03:38Oh, oh, oh, hello.
03:40That's a very self-assured, confident walk.
03:43Yeah.
03:44I hope this is my last first date for a while.
03:46Come with me. Let's see what we can do.
03:48You're so smiling.
03:49I know. And he's taller than Fred.
03:52Well, congratulations as well for getting married.
03:54Thank you really much.
03:55Hopefully it'll be me one day.
03:56Well, for sure. Well, you are here.
03:58I'm sort of at the stage now where I'm a bit too old for stuff that's just casual.
04:03I'm at Last Chance Saloon.
04:05Let me get you a drink.
04:06Can I get a Long Island iced tea?
04:08Long Island? Coming up?
04:09That's the strongest one, so I feel that will ease my nerves.
04:12So what kind of girls do you like, man?
04:14I usually go for someone that's a bit like a Barbie to me, so that kind of vibe.
04:19My other woman, I'd say just someone that's quite fun-loving and, like, easy to get on with.
04:24But do like a blonde, not gonna lie.
04:27I've heard you've described yourself as sexy and goofy.
04:37Yeah, I think when I said that, I'd probably had something to drink.
04:41But I probably had a glass of wine.
04:44Tech consultant Charlie is putting the numbers aside to discover the true formula for love.
04:53I love, like, analytical stuff.
04:56So, yes, I am quite geeky.
04:58You are like a ray of sunshine.
05:04Do you want mini dates?
05:05No.
05:06No, not really.
05:07I don't like to.
05:08You don't?
05:09I'm fed up with the dating scene.
05:11I don't want to be on dating apps.
05:13I would rather just talk to one person and get to know them.
05:16I'm not a serial dater.
05:18Do you know what you're looking for?
05:20Someone that's kind, confident, but not a show-off.
05:23Teeth is quite a big one for me because I do stare at people's mouths quite a lot.
05:28Not in, like, a horrible way, but it's just nice that someone has, like, a nice warm smile.
05:34Hi.
05:35Are you all right?
05:36Nice to meet you.
05:37I'm Charlie.
05:38I'm Connor.
05:39Nice to meet you, Connor.
05:40So, what was the commute like from heaven?
05:42That was very good.
05:43Can I get a margarita, please?
05:45Yes.
05:46Thank you so much.
05:47So, where do you actually come from?
05:48Uh, London.
05:49Okay.
05:50Where do you come from?
05:51I live in Guildford, sorry.
05:52Oh, I know Guildford, yeah.
05:53We're really close.
05:54Yes, we are.
05:55What do you actually do for work, then?
05:56I work for a tech consultancy.
05:59Oh, okay, okay.
06:00Thank you so much.
06:01It's a pleasure.
06:02You have lots of tattoos as well.
06:04Yes, I've got my leg.
06:05I've got one on my chest.
06:06Oh, my gosh.
06:07And I've got one on my back as well.
06:08Nice.
06:09We'll save that for the second date.
06:10Yeah, fine.
06:12What do you do for work?
06:13You've got really nice eyes as well, by the way.
06:15My eyes?
06:16Yeah, you've got really nice eyes.
06:17Thanks.
06:18Yours are nice as well.
06:19I'm a carpenter.
06:20Are you?
06:21Nice.
06:23Yeah, I like someone who's got hands on.
06:25Yeah.
06:26Yeah.
06:29You couldn't have picked anyone better.
06:31Yes, this is also a good start, isn't it?
06:33Yes.
06:34Come with me.
06:36Let's go.
06:3729-year-old business owner Sophie is hoping to add romance to her agenda.
06:42I definitely did not used to look like this.
06:44Yeah, with bright coloured hair.
06:49I used to work in the law, so tattoos weren't really kind of encouraged.
06:55I changed my career and started getting covered in tattoos.
06:59Nice to meet you, Sophie.
07:00I do.
07:01It's nice to meet you, Fred.
07:02What an incredible look you have here with all your tattoos.
07:07My children are my entire world, but I think I've got more love to give and it would be
07:12nice to be able to find another person to be able to share that with.
07:17Can I get you a drink?
07:18Yes, please.
07:19Can I have a porn star?
07:20Yes, you can.
07:22How are you feeling about things?
07:23Yeah, I'm good.
07:24Good.
07:25I'm nervous.
07:26Natural.
07:27Totally natural, yeah.
07:28Talk to me about the sort of person you want to meet today.
07:31So, I'm actually looking for somebody that is an alternative woman.
07:36I'm a bisexual woman, so I'm looking for a romantic relationship with a woman.
07:43I have female friends, but, you know, I think I'm looking for something that's a bit
07:47of a stronger connection than that.
07:49I quite like tattoos.
07:50I like coloured hair.
07:51I like it's people that embrace some individuality.
07:54Yeah.
07:55Something a bit different, outside the norm.
07:57My ideal woman is like Megan Fox.
08:03Sophie's date is Emily, a massage therapist who's a pro at releasing stress.
08:11Growing up, I was always like the weird kid.
08:14And, to be honest, my mum's quite, like, punk, so she raised me on, like, the sex pistols.
08:21I was always taught to express myself and just be whoever I wanted to be.
08:27You're dressed to kill.
08:28I am.
08:29I'm given fox, leopard.
08:30Yeah.
08:31I was thinking Betty Boo, you know?
08:32Oh, yeah.
08:33I love that.
08:34Yeah.
08:35Yeah, I love that.
08:36Yeah.
08:37Yeah, I love that.
08:38I identify as bisexual, which to me means I'm attracted to all women and a very specific
08:40type of man.
08:41Yeah.
08:42Your date is at the bar.
08:43Amazing.
08:44Look behind me.
08:45Have a look.
08:46Can you see behind the bar there?
08:47I like alternative women, obviously.
08:48Tattoos.
08:49Just because we'd look cute together, to be honest.
08:50I love that for us.
08:51Enjoy.
08:53Have fun.
08:55Hello.
08:56Hi.
08:57Wow.
08:58I love that.
08:59I love that.
09:00I love that.
09:01I love that.
09:02I love that.
09:03I love that.
09:04I love that.
09:05I love that.
09:06I love that.
09:07Nice to meet you.
09:08I'm Emily.
09:09Nice to meet you, Emily.
09:10You look stunning.
09:11I love it.
09:12So do you.
09:13I wasn't sure if this was a bit OTT, but you know.
09:14No, I love it.
09:15I've honestly been so nervous.
09:16Have you?
09:17Now.
09:18I'm kind of chilled.
09:19You're feeling chilled.
09:20Yeah.
09:21That's good.
09:22No need to be nervous.
09:23No.
09:24No.
09:25No.
09:26No.
09:27No.
09:28No need to be nervous.
09:29No.
09:30No.
09:31No.
09:32No.
09:33No.
09:34Yes.
09:35Is it just me, or do you think that since he's been married he is happier and a better
09:44mood?
09:45He just seems really happy.
09:46He certainly seems more settled.
09:48More grounded.
09:49Yeah.
09:50Maybe that's what it is .
09:52Do you have any funny, like, stories?
09:58Like, have you embarrassed yourself recently?
10:00Last year I was seeing a girl, and she's put me on like a Facebook page, and she did
10:04saying, like, don't date this guy, and...
10:08Yeah. Oh, gosh, why is that?
10:10I think she was just bitter, to be completely honest.
10:12I was, like, pretty sure out of her.
10:14I think she was a bit older than me. She was, like, eight years older than me.
10:17Ah. And then went on another date maybe three weeks later.
10:21Like, the day after, she screenshotted this and sent it to me,
10:23saying, like, can I do better?
10:25I was like, you don't even know, Mick. Wait, what? Yeah.
10:28Oh, my gosh. Yeah.
10:30So, my dating life, it was a little bit cowluck, I'm not gonna lie.
10:35I would say that I probably have commitment issues just because, like,
10:39well, my first girlfriend, she didn't cheat on me,
10:42but it was a bit like, you know, the Ross and Rachel situation,
10:44like, we were on a break. It was the same sort of thing.
10:47And, like, it's not really a nice thing to have happen to you.
10:51So, I just feel as if since then, I'm, like,
10:53I'm scared of getting hurt, to be honest.
10:55I've taken a bit of a step back, like, I've deleted dating apps.
11:02I just feel as if now I've got the clear headspace
11:05to give someone my all.
11:09To be honest, when I saw you coming, I was like, Jesus Christ.
11:12I was like, like, I was, like, shaking.
11:16Oh, there's a weight feeling.
11:22Better nerves, right?
11:24But, yeah, it's, um...
11:26It's different.
11:28It is definitely different.
11:30Isn't his day coming?
11:31Well, I hope so.
11:33Actually...
11:36What's your dating, like, history?
11:39So, I'm actually really not practised in dating at all.
11:44OK.
11:45This is my first date with a woman.
11:48Really?
11:50Yeah, so...
11:51Well, you're doing great.
11:53I would not think this was your first date with a woman, ever.
11:56Like, I'm not getting that vibe at all, so...
11:58I've always kind of thought I was bisexual,
12:01but never explored it and too afraid to kind of come out about it.
12:05Yeah, of course.
12:06But it's nerve-wracking.
12:08And I'm glad they chose you.
12:09Yeah, I'm glad they chose me.
12:11And it's, like, yeah, it's such an honour to, like, be your first date.
12:18But you're stunning.
12:19So are you.
12:21Yeah, you are very my type, for sure.
12:23You very much are.
12:26So, um...
12:28I'm married.
12:31Really?
12:33Yeah.
12:34Yeah.
12:39So, um...
12:41I have a question for you.
12:44OK.
12:46My husband is at the bar.
12:53Would you like to meet him?
12:55Yeah.
12:56So, this is a first.
13:09Yeah.
13:10It is.
13:12So, yeah.
13:14We found each other on Tinder.
13:16What was the first thing you said to me?
13:18Yep.
13:19Do you know the Muffin Man?
13:20And my response was, who lives on Jury Lane?
13:23So, we bonded over Shrek, didn't we?
13:24Mm-hm.
13:25Typical parents.
13:27That's exactly what it was.
13:30Ricky.
13:31Are you ready?
13:32Yeah.
13:33Ready as I've ever been.
13:34Come on, man.
13:35Take your drink.
13:36Let's go.
13:38They call it a thruple, don't they?
13:40We are looking for love.
13:41Yeah.
13:42We're looking for something that's long-term.
13:43We've got a lot of love to give, so...
13:45We definitely have.
13:46It'd be nice to sort of share it around.
13:49Hello.
13:50Hello.
13:51How are you, OK?
13:52I'm good.
13:53Going good?
13:54Going good, yeah.
13:55This is Ricky.
13:56Nice to meet you.
13:57Ricky, let me give you a hug.
13:58I'm Emily.
13:59Nice to meet you.
14:00Nice to meet you.
14:01Should I get another chair?
14:02Yes, please.
14:03You can have mine.
14:04It'd be nice to share the moments with another person.
14:08To find somebody that likes to cuddle up on the couch
14:10and just to kind of fit in.
14:11It's like a missing piece to a jigsaw.
14:16How are you?
14:17I'm good.
14:18How are you?
14:19How are you feeling?
14:20A bit more nervous.
14:21Well, actually, no, not as nervous as I was.
14:24Yeah.
14:25It's pretty good.
14:26I think I was very nervous.
14:28I think I might get another drink in a minute.
14:31Yeah, nice.
14:32I don't think it would work if the other person
14:36didn't fancy both of us.
14:38Mm-hm.
14:39Obviously, that would be upsetting for one of us, wouldn't it?
14:42A lot of it's communication.
14:43Yeah.
14:44It has to be there.
14:45It's really important.
14:46It has to be paramount.
14:47Mm-hm.
14:48Otherwise, there's just no point.
14:49Mm-hm.
14:50There's no point.
14:51Good girl.
14:52We've been having a nice time.
14:53Yeah.
14:54We're, like, settled into the date now
14:55and you're just, like, fresh.
14:57Hi, girl.
14:58Hey.
14:59We're like, yeah, yeah.
15:00We both, sort of, tend to, sort of, like the same women.
15:05Yeah.
15:06I think you'd be able to tell if we like them.
15:08Mm-hm.
15:09Definitely look at each other and smile, wouldn't we?
15:10Mm-hm.
15:11You're both getting on like ours on fire, it seems.
15:16Yeah.
15:17It's amazing.
15:18You were very nervous to tell me about your situation.
15:22Yeah, so I said, so, I have a husband.
15:25Yes.
15:26And I was just, like, slang.
15:27You know what I mean?
15:28Like, so easy.
15:30Like, proper, like, couple goals, energy.
15:33You two.
15:35I have to say, since I got married, I'm on cloud nine.
15:38Oh, I love hearing that.
15:40You know, it was such a, such an amazing day.
15:43We were in Jamaica and, uh, it's the most idyllic location
15:47in the world.
15:48It's so beautiful.
15:49Oh, my God, look at these.
15:51These are so amazing.
15:56Ghost cheese salad?
15:57Yes, thank you.
15:58Nourish bowl for gentlemen.
16:01Mayonnaise.
16:02Thank you so much.
16:03You're very welcome, enjoy.
16:05Bye.
16:09You are a bit of a pretty boy.
16:12Last year, I did a bit of Naked Butler.
16:14Um...
16:18What are you looking for?
16:19Are you looking for, like, a long-term relationship?
16:21Or are you...
16:22A hundred percent.
16:23I hate being single at the moment.
16:24I just don't enjoy it.
16:25So, what about you?
16:26I had a seven-year relationship.
16:27So, how long ago was that?
16:29Two and a half years ago.
16:31I feel like I'd outgrown the relationship, um, and the town I was living in with him.
16:38Um, and I just needed to try something new.
16:40So, I'd moved to London two years ago.
16:42I kind of wanted to put myself in an uncomfortable position so I could grow as a person, which I feel like I have massively.
16:51Like, I wouldn't be doing this if I hadn't grown as a person.
16:54Yeah.
16:55So, you sort of, like, ready...
16:56Mm.
16:57I suppose, yeah, for something.
16:58Yeah, I guess I hit, like, 28 and I was like, mm, it would be nice to, you know, meet someone now.
17:02Yeah.
17:03I...
17:04I have had enough alone time, but it's...
17:07It would be nice to have a relationship that is the one that I stay in forever.
17:15This is lovely.
17:16Nice one.
17:17I'm near the drink.
17:18I mean, the drink is really good, but you're good.
17:21You are as well.
17:22Oh, thanks.
17:23You're, like, the fittest girl I've ever gone on a date with.
17:26Shut up.
17:27No, you actually are.
17:28No, I'm not.
17:29You 100% are.
17:30Thank you, that's very sweet.
17:31And you're also very good-looking.
17:32I think.
17:37Are you excited for your first table of the day?
17:40Yeah, I'm confident I'm ready, yeah.
17:42And so it seems that we have talked before
17:49And laughed before
17:52But who knows where or when
18:00I think it might be appropriate, that song, because meeting somebody for the first time.
18:06Meet Derek.
18:0889 years young and ready to serenade his way into one lucky lady's heart.
18:14I like to sing when I go on cruises.
18:17Oh, and I won the singing contest at the end of the cruise.
18:25I don't feel my age.
18:27I was at 89.
18:28I feel 65.
18:31Or less.
18:32Nice to meet you.
18:39You're so young at heart.
18:40You're 29 or 90.

18:49Oh, please do.
18:52You dress very well.
18:53Do you travel a lot?
18:54I did a cruise in November.
18:56I go by myself now.
18:58Did you not make any approaches to any of the ladies?
19:00Oh, yes.
19:01Yeah.
19:02So, did it work?
19:03I had a nice lady from Honolulu.
19:05And she was only 70 years of age.
19:07You are the king with the ladies.
19:09I don't know about that.
19:10Come with me.
19:11I'll take you to your table.
19:12You're the first to arrive.
19:14I'm old school.
19:15Open doors.

19:23So I'm romantic.
19:26And I love to sing Momentic Socks.
19:28So what are you looking for?
19:29Somebody that's bubbly.
19:30Yeah.
19:31Outgoing.
19:32Yeah.
19:33I'd like to sing.
19:34You like to sing?
19:35I sing.
19:36Cool, yeah.
19:37What I'm looking for, I think she's got to be friendly.
19:40Nicely dressed as I hope I would be for her.
19:43And can laugh.
19:45Because I've got some silly jokes.
19:47And if she's interested in music, that's half the battle.
19:52What song could your dream date sing to really win your heart?
19:57Lady.
19:58Lady.
19:59Yeah.
20:00That's a nice song, isn't it?
20:02Could music be the food of love?
20:05For 77-year-old June.
20:09I can even tolerate Dolly Parton.
20:17Looking so elegant.
20:18Oh, thank you very much.
20:19Perfect.
20:21Shall I take your coat maybe?
20:22Yes, that would be lovely.
20:23I prefer an older man.
20:25If somebody's got a nice build and they've looked after themselves and they've got groomed
20:30hair.
20:31But at the end of the day, isn't it the person themselves?
20:35Hello.
20:36How are you?
20:37I'm June.
20:38Okay, June.
20:39I'm Derek.
20:40Derek.
20:41Hello, Derek.
20:42Hello, June.
20:43Hello.
20:44This is a rather super restaurant, isn't it?
20:45Isn't it lovely?
20:46Yeah.
20:47I've only been to Bath a couple of times and it's only just...
20:50It's the most romantic city in Britain.
20:52Isn't it wonderful?
20:53When you meet in Bath, that's it.
20:56You look very nice, let me tell you.
20:58Oh, thank you.
20:59Beautiful top.
21:00You look rather lovely yourself.
21:08Cheers.
21:09Nice to meet you.
21:10It's bad luck otherwise.
21:11I don't know what I thought.
21:12Mm-mm.
21:13Wow, that is strong.
21:15Like the connection.
21:17I'm really scared about my hair setting on fire.
21:23Although we already are on fire, because our date is so there.
21:26Yeah.
21:27Don't try and continue.
21:29Okay.
21:30We only met like two hours ago.
21:33Fair enough.
21:36I actually like fancied the pants off her.
21:38When she'd come in, I was like, I'm done.
21:40Absolute rocket, to be honest.
21:42I am a little bit nervous to what the outcome's gonna be.
21:46I've never met someone that I just sort of click with quite, like, just quite easy to
21:51get on with.
21:54Hi.
21:55How are you?
21:57So, do you want to see each other again?
22:03Like, I definitely would like to see you again.
22:06Would you?
22:08Yeah.
22:09Really?
22:10Yeah.
22:11Okay.
22:12I know obviously I hid it quite well, but...
22:13Yeah, you really hid it really well, yeah.
22:15The attempt kisses was, you know...
22:19Yeah, I'd like to see you again.
22:20Yeah?
22:21Yeah.
22:22We can see each other again if.
22:23Nice one.
22:24If we can plan something even better than this.
22:26Yeah, yeah.
22:27I have the bill?
22:28Are you splitting it?
22:29I'll get it, I'll get it.
22:30Yeah.
22:31You bring out, like, a side to me that I, like, could just have fun in, like...
22:36Good.
22:39Nice.
22:40I don't know.
22:41I don't feel as if I've got to try and be anything different around you.
22:45I just feel as if I could be myself.
22:47I mean, you can give me a kiss and cheek.
22:52I've never watched this cheek.
22:53I haven't.
22:54You know who to hold me hand?
22:55Oh, my God, are we holding hands?
22:56It's so sweet.
22:57I was watching television and they said...
22:58They advertised.
22:59Oh, I don't know if you've ever seen this.
23:01Naked attraction.
23:02Oh, yeah.
23:03I watched it and I was gobsmacked.
23:04I mean...
23:05I was like...
23:06Yeah.
23:07And 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?
23:11And I was going to say, what program?
23:12And I was going to say, Naked Attraction.
23:13Oh, brilliant.
23:14Well, I am just going to pop to the toilet, so I'll be back in a moment.
23:15Of course.
23:18So...
23:19And I was tempted to say to my children I'm going on a television program and I was waiting for them to say what program and I was going to say naked infraction.
23:31Oh, brilliant.
23:33Well, I am just going to pop to the toilet, so I'll be back in a moment, OK?
23:37Of course.
23:40So.
23:43I have a date in who is in a polyamorous relationship.
23:48Right, OK.
23:49What's that mean, sorry?
23:50It means that they are happy to date more than one person.
23:55That is nuts.
23:56You know what?
23:57I take my hat off to them, fair play.
24:00What's your experience with dating so far, like, together?
24:05We've tried dating apps.
24:07Mm-hmm.
24:08They all seem to be wanting one thing.
24:10Mm-hmm.
24:11That's not really what we're after.
24:13Yeah, so you're looking for more, like, an emotional connection.
24:16Yeah.
24:16I'd definitely say emotional connection rather than physical.
24:19Yeah.
24:19I prefer being able to sort of cuddle on the sofa, watch a film.
24:25I think a lot of the time, like, even for me, it's very much just like, hey, like, dip in.
24:30Thanks for that.
24:31See you later.
24:31See you later.
24:31And now that couple is going to go and spoon on the couch and watch true crime.
24:36And it's like, I don't want to spoon and watch true crime.
24:38Do you know what I mean?
24:39And it's like, you do sort of miss that emotional bit, I guess.
24:44When I was in my late 20s, I discovered this thing, polyamory, non-monogamy.
24:51And I was like, oh, this is actually a thing.
24:54Like, so I started exploring it from there, really.
24:56And now, yeah, I think that's just how I identify and I probably wouldn't look back.
25:04You seem like a really strong couple.
25:07I'd like to think so.
25:08You have to be a strong couple if you are going to sort of dip your toes in.
25:14I would like to be swept off my feet, to be honest.
25:17I think that's another misconception about non-monogamy as well,
25:21is that we're not really into the big dream of, like, being swept off our feet and stuff.
25:26We definitely are.
25:27Like, I'm such a romantic.
25:29I love all that.
25:30Part of it for me is, like, witnessing that love and that connection between the primary couple.
25:36People will be like, are you not threatened that that couple will never love you the same way that they love each other?
25:43And it's like, you know, like, it's, it's connection is connection.
25:47I'm like, it's a process.
25:48Yeah, it's so true.
25:53I really need a weeb.
25:55I will venture to the loo.
25:57How are you getting on?
26:04Good, I think.
26:05Are you OK?
26:06Yeah, it's just an absolute.
26:07What do you think?
26:09Yeah.
26:10Do you think she's, like, into you?
26:13What's this one here?
26:26This is, um, this is the infinity sign.
26:28Um, I was...
26:29I was on holidays and I was really drunk and I thought that was a good idea.
26:33So, that's not a grid.
26:35I've got some really random tattoos.
26:37They're wicked.
26:37These are all women from films that I'm obsessed with.
26:41So, you've got Regina George.
26:43You know Regina George, right?
26:43Oh, yes, I do.
26:44I love that.
26:44And then this is, like, Penny Lane from Almost Famous.
26:48Just strong, independent women, babes.
26:50Do you know what I mean?
26:51What is this little badge I can see?
27:02I bought this jacket in my lane with my wife.
27:04And, um, it's got a little bit of character to it.
27:07It's double-breasted, you know.
27:08So, um, I used to go on cruises with my wife.
27:12Yeah.
27:12And, um, of course, she passed away so I didn't go cruising.
27:16How long ago did you lose your wife?
27:19Three years ago this month.
27:21Yeah.
27:24I sent my wife Valentine's cards every year we were married for 65 years.
27:31I miss her terribly.
27:33I still think of her every day.
27:34I still say goodnight to her, say good morning to her.
27:37Her teacher's there.
27:39All in all, she may be a better person.
27:43Yeah.
27:46Yep.
27:49I miss that.
27:51But as my friends and family say, you've got to move on, Derek.
27:58You've got to live your life.
27:59You know, after losing my wife, and my kids said, Dad, you know, an age now where you've got to, you know, the last five years, you've got to start to live your own life.
28:10I know my wife would love me to be with somebody, and my daughter says to me, there's a nice lady out there, Dad, looking for you, as well as you're looking for her.
28:21And I think it was wonderful.
28:22And I think it was wonderful.
28:23A little pressy food.
28:24Oh, really?
28:25What?
28:26Oh, I couldn't find any chocolate, so...
28:29No, thank you very much.
28:31It's lucky that they got this far, I might have eaten them if I hadn't have had a full English this morning.
28:35Yes.
28:36I guess.
28:41My train is at 6.48.
28:43What's the time now?
28:446.
28:45I ain't making that.
28:46No, you're not.
28:47And it's the last one.
28:48Yeah.
28:49I guess I went back for another night, guys, so I might as well get comfy.
28:56Is she, like, your type?
28:58She's definitely...
28:59You did well.
29:00She is definitely our type.
29:01Yeah, she's definitely my type.
29:02Our type, yeah, yeah.
29:05So, what happens if she comes in now and says that she wants to see you and not me?
29:13Yeah, erm...
29:14Right, you ready?
29:15That's good.
29:16Let's give it a go.
29:19It's hard coming out.
29:21What's that about?
29:22What?
29:27How are you feeling?
29:28I'm good.
29:29Good. You guys okay?
29:30Yeah, good.
29:33So, would you like to see each other again?
29:37Absolutely.
29:39Love to see you again.
29:40I think you're lovely and I think, kind of, we had a really good connection, I thought, so I'd love to.
29:45Yeah, I agree.
29:47Like, I think we had, like, such a good vibe, like, us and then, obviously, when you joined us, it's obviously that, oh, God, is this going to derail the whole day?
30:00Yeah, yeah.
30:01Yeah, yeah.
30:02But it didn't at all, like, we all had a great vibe together.
30:04No.
30:05I'm glad you joined us.
30:06Yeah.
30:07That was a nice little plot twist.
30:08Yeah, just a bit.
30:11So, our Fridays are probably going to look a little bit different from now on.
30:14Yeah.
30:15What do you reckon?
30:16Yeah.
30:17We've just got a new couch, haven't we?
30:18It's big enough.
30:19Is it big enough?
30:20I'm so lucky.
30:21That's a new one.
30:22Let's go and have a drink.
30:23Yeah, let's do it.
30:24Let's do it.
30:25Let's do it.
30:26I owe you guys a few drinks, so let's do that.
30:27What should we do?
30:28Shots.
30:29Shots.
30:30Shots.
30:31Shots.
30:32Shots.
30:33Oh, hello.
30:34I have a little, uh, wedding gift.
30:35Oh, look at that.
30:36For Federico and fruitcake.
30:37That's wonderful.
30:38I don't want them to sit yet.
30:39Look at that.
30:40I get fur signature.
30:41You get fur signature, cos you're the late man.
30:43I owe.
30:44Firstsig, righto.
30:45I have a little, uh, wedding gift.
30:49Oh, look at that.
30:50For Federico and fruitcake.
30:51That's wonderful.
30:52I don't want them to sit yet.
30:53Look at that, I get fur signature.
30:54You get fur signature, cos you're the late man.
30:56All right, oh.
31:03Ah, rip it.
31:07Are you a hot dad?
31:09Me daughter sees a few of her friends think I'm a dill.
31:12Probably more guilt these days, I'm kicking on
31:14Wanting to prove there's more to him than meets the eye
31:17Is single dad of three, Mike
31:20Everyone thinks I'm a real lad
31:21People just see tattoos
31:23And probably just think you're a bit of a rogue
31:25And a bit of a player and stuff
31:26But I'm a massive softie
31:29I'll find a joke in anything
31:32Life's for living and laughing
31:34And that's what I'm here to do
31:35How are you?
31:38My man crush, that is, right there
31:40Nice to meet you, Mike
31:41Are you alright?
31:42I am
31:42So what's your type, what are you looking for?
31:44I ain't really got a type
31:45You can't even explain what it is
31:46I never liked small people
31:48That was my biggest turn-off, was small people
31:50And I married a woman who was five foot tall
31:52Do you know what I mean?
31:53While in bed we're all the same size
31:55I wouldn't know, that's been that long, Fred
31:57I forgot, but apparently so
31:58I just hope I'm not too much sometimes
32:01Take us home if you want, Fred
32:03I've always said you want my man crush
32:05Come on, let's go
32:06If I'm in a situation where people don't know
32:08Is it going to be quite awkward
32:09Because everyone's shut up
32:10A beer, like Guinness
32:11I'll try a cocktail, Fred
32:13Are you paying Fred?
32:15I'll say stupid things
32:16Because I don't have to cope in a particular situation
32:19And then that can make us come across as a little bit twat
32:22If I can get on and have a laugh
32:24What more, do you know what I mean?
32:25I never go out these days
32:27So as long as I like have a laugh
32:28Do you know what I mean?
32:29But if I can meet somebody who can make us smile
32:32Take us some of that loneliness away
32:34That's the nice thing about it
32:35Because you don't know who it is
32:36Do you know what I mean?
32:37It's like exciting in it
32:38Do you know what I mean?
32:38I love a fit best mate
32:40That's what I'd love
32:41Do you know what I mean?
32:42But whether that can happen
32:43I don't know
32:44Hopefully it's worth it
32:46Only it was worth the wait
32:48Oh, is my hair okay?
32:52Hi!
32:54Hoping to cut out dating bad boys
32:56Is hairdresser Carly
32:59Start seeing a guy last year
33:01It was going great
33:02And then I found out he was actually going to prison
33:05I know I need to stay away from them
33:08So I'm looking for someone that's family orientated
33:11And just somebody settled in life
33:13I laugh a lot
33:16So somebody's got to make me laugh
33:18And that's a big, big thing for me
33:21How are you?
33:24I'm fine, thank you
33:25You're looking amazing
33:26Thank you
33:27What kind of man are you looking for?

33:48Yeah, you look lovely
33:49Thank you
33:49Oh, you're cold, isn't you?
33:51It is freezing
33:52Thank you
33:55Thank you very much, Fred
33:56You've done very well
33:57First time I've been punching in a long time
33:59This is, Fred
34:00Oh, my goodness
34:02Yeah
34:02Sweet
34:03What's your poison?
34:06Cocktail-wise, I love a porn star martini
34:08How much is it?
34:10I'm just checking the price before I order it
34:12Fuck that
34:13I'm a single dad
34:14I call a porn poster
34:15Get a heart beside her
34:16You'll get used to me
34:18I just sat down
34:19I don't care
34:19Give it up
34:20I like someone that can make laugh
34:22Well, you're in for a street tonight, then
34:24Not much to look at
34:26But I'm funny as fuck
34:26How are you with your technology?
34:32Rubbish
34:32I'm a dinosaur
34:33Oh, thank goodness
34:35And this is what I'm finding
34:37How do you meet somebody?
34:39Very difficult
34:40And my children thought
34:43If I go on to one of these websites
34:46Well, that was an awful nightmare
34:48I mean, I feel like a dinosaur
34:51Yeah, totally, I am
34:52When I go around and I'm going to the ballet
34:57Or I'm going somewhere
34:58I seem to be the only one on my own
35:01Everybody's there with their partners
35:04Their family, whatever
35:06And I prefer to be with somebody
35:10That's what I'm missing
35:12Somebody to do these things with
35:15I would enjoy a nice cuddle
35:21And just holding hands with somebody
35:25And somebody to be there genuinely for me
35:29Yeah
35:29I mean, I've been known to take videos of my own fate
35:34For goodness sake
35:35Have I?
35:35Oh, I'm glad
35:38Yeah, many times
35:39Feel me at the back
35:40How on earth did I do that?
35:43Both as bad as each other
35:44Cheers, it's nice to meet somebody
35:46Good help
35:46Oh, I'm so happy about that
35:48Let's go, let's do it, let's do it
35:51Right, whatever you want
35:52Beautiful
35:59We do that very sun-kissed
36:04First compliment I've had
36:05You look sun-kissed, don't you?
36:06Yeah, you're not one for the compliments I've noticed
36:10Fucking hell, fishing and fishing
36:11You know, give a compliment
36:12Yeah, the saddest of times
36:15I've managed to get through them all
36:17Through the power of laughter
36:18And it's been massive, like, and especially
36:19Through recent situations in my life
36:22So you've got kids then
36:23Oh, yeah
36:24I've got three kids, all at the same time
36:26Really?
36:27Yeah, yeah, yeah
36:28It's like, mate, I don't know how to tell you or whatever
36:31But my wife's dead, like
36:32Oh, OK, oh, sorry to hear that
36:35Yeah, but I've been with her nearly 22 years
36:37Yeah, oh my gosh
36:39Always, yeah, yeah, yeah
36:40Jodie had cancer of the oesophagus
36:42Give her a prognosis of three to six months to live, like
36:47She was the purest and nicest person
36:51The best, like
36:54The best man in the world, like
36:56She didn't deserve it, like
36:58Really didn't deserve it
37:00As soon as my wife died, like
37:03I was so lonely
37:05I just didn't know what to do with myself
37:06I'd just be sitting there in the dark every night
37:08The kids would come down and say
37:09Dad, what are you doing?
37:09That's it
37:10Oh, just chilling
37:11Yeah
37:11And life had to go on
37:14I couldn't crumble, like
37:15My children, neither
37:16There's more than ever
37:17She passed in then
37:19Yeah
37:20So now I'm a single dad with three kids, like
37:22I bet that's really hard
37:23Being a parent anyway is hard
37:25Mate, it's hard
37:26But doing it on your own
37:27Yeah, it is on your own
37:28I've raised them 24-7, like
37:29I'm not after a new mum for my children
37:31I'm never, ever going to meet another Julie
37:33You never get 1% of what I had
37:36With her again in the future
37:37I'll be a happy man
37:38You've got very nice arties
37:42Oh, thank you
37:43You have got very nice arties
37:45Very blue
37:45I'm glad you noticed, like
37:47See, there's a compliment
37:48It is, very nice
37:49You've got very nice tattoos
37:52Thank you
37:53And very nice teeth
37:55Thank you
37:56Everything I've listed aren't yours, though
37:58I am a bellend
38:02No, but I like that
38:05But if I'm laughing and flaring
38:06It means I like it
38:07No, I'm winning
38:09Oh, 100%
38:10Yeah, 100%
38:11That's all right
38:12Thank you
38:16I've not been going to the gym recently
38:18Because of my injury
38:20But, yeah, I do the row machine
38:23Yeah, and how much can you put?
38:24Ski
38:24240 pounds
38:27Your own weight
38:27I do what they call the sumo squats
38:31Because it's supposed to be good for you
38:32Where you have your legs wide
38:34And your feet open
38:35Oh
38:36And you come down
38:37Oh
38:37The sumo squats
38:38And why?
38:38You don't have to be fat
38:39And 23 stars to do that
38:42You're supposed to give you
38:44A magnificent bottom
38:45I've always wanted a bottom
38:46Can you get up and walk over there?
38:48No, you're here
38:48You're not going to float your bottom to me
38:52I really don't know what to wear today
39:03I thought, shall I wear bright?
39:05Shall I wear something with a low cleavage?
39:08Oh, you have to go
39:09Yeah, you should have done
39:11No, I'm not kidding
39:13Thank you
39:13Thank you, my dear
39:17Merci beaucoup
39:18Do you have mademoiselle?
39:22How old are you?
39:2543
39:2643
39:26You went and go
39:27What?
39:2843?
39:29You're winding me up
39:30Because I'm like 36 this year
39:31So I don't want to be closer
39:32Why were you really?
39:32I forgot like 18
39:33See, I was better
39:35I'm more enthusiastic
39:35How long were you with your ex for, like?
39:4012 years
39:40What happened?
39:42He was seeing someone behind my back
39:43Shit
39:44It's one of them
39:45And it happens
39:45Yeah, it is
39:46But
39:46Because 12 years is a long time
39:49It fucking is
39:50Yeah, yeah
39:51I didn't realise what a heartbreak was
39:54Until we broke up
39:56When somebody has broken your trust
39:58It is really hard to put your trust into somebody else again
40:02But I'm really happy with how my life is right now
40:05I'm just missing that certain someone to share it with
40:09Are you a good clerk?
40:12No
40:13At least you're honest
40:14I never had to do it
40:15My wife was old school
40:17I'm not saying you should do that
40:19I'm not saying that's the right way that I mean
40:20But my wife was like literally like a 19, 20s housewife
40:23She used to do them all like that
40:24But I think that's the way it should be
40:25Just because
40:26Are you old school?
40:27Yeah, 100%
40:28Like when me and my ex were together
40:30Every night he would be like waiting
40:32Do you know what I mean?
40:33But that's the way
40:33Would you cut the lawns?
40:34Oh, I love cutting lawns
40:36Fred, but for a marriage
40:37Come on
40:38Would you take the bins out and I'm in the morning?
40:41Oh, yeah
40:41I've always done it
40:42I'm just going to ring the kids
40:43She cuts the lawns and takes the bins out
40:47Yeah, sound I'll bring up home
40:49Tra
40:49Oh my goodness
40:52You do make me laugh
40:53Will you go away?
40:59I can't go away
41:00You're too handsome and too tall
41:02I wanted to speak to you, Mr. and Mrs. Flirt
41:05I was wondering
41:06Do you fancy a little dance?
41:09I don't dance
41:11She does dance
41:12But she sings
41:14You make me feel so young
41:20You make me feel that spring has spun
41:25And every time I see you
41:28You're such a happy individual
41:33I want to go and bounce the moon
41:37Just like a toy balloon
41:40You and I
41:44Are just like a couple of tots
41:48Running across the meadow
41:53Picking up lots of forget-me-nots
41:58You make me feel so young
42:01We certainly gelled
42:03And I think she's a winner as far as I'm concerned
42:06I certainly fancied the lady
42:09Yeah
42:10Because you make me feel so young
42:17Wow
42:18Wow
42:18Oh, that's super cute
42:24Wow, wow, wow

42:31Thanks for making sure

43:32I make
43:34Oh, you bastard
43:35Whoopsie
43:37Just to turn you on to a rumbi and semi-fies
43:42It was a strategic move, honestly
43:43It was the plan
43:44It wasn't me being a sweat
43:46It was all part of the plan
43:47I thought she was beautiful, eh?
43:49Lovely girl
43:50I would definitely give her a swipe, right?
43:51Yeah
43:51Yeah
43:52I'm not going to give too much away, like
43:54In case you mugged me off next
43:56But
43:56Honestly, no, like, splits
44:00Oh, stop being noble, I'll get it

44:32Definitely a bit of me
