00:00With all these dirty naps, it doesn't seem real.
00:07It's almost like a card game. It's like you're just collecting people.
00:10I've just been swiping and nothing. There's just nothing.
00:15In the heart of Britain's most romantic city,
00:19Fred and his team are matching hopeful singletons
00:24in a place where love is always on the menu.
00:28It's going to be everywhere.
00:30Mine will always get stuck on my boob shelf.
00:33These daters...
00:34How old are you?
00:35Old enough for you.
00:36...are searching for the one...
00:39Oh, my God.
00:40...in the real world.
00:43I grazed my knees this morning.
00:46I'm falling for you.
00:46Oh, my God.
00:50For some, stepping into the unknown...
00:53How are you with your technology?
00:54Rubbish. I'm a dinosaur.
00:56Oh, thank goodness.
00:57If I want to get in contact with you, I'll have to WhatsApp you.
01:00Don't get too ahead of yourself.
01:02...can lead to surprising sparks.
01:04I literally flush it.
01:05I don't know what's going on.
01:07But finding a connection...
01:09What's the dynamic here?
01:10...isn't always easy.
01:12How big is yours?
01:14My husband is a bar.
01:16Would you like to meet him?
01:17Oh, shit.
01:20Help me.
01:21In the end...
01:22Hi, hi, hi.
01:23It comes down to one...
01:25Hello.
01:26Hello.
01:27...big...
01:27This isn't awkward.
01:29...question.
01:30Do you guys want to see each other again?
01:34This is the First Dates Restaurant.
01:36I just need to get ready.
01:45I love me.
01:48I love me.
01:49You look good.
01:49You feel good.
01:50Right?
01:51You always look good.
01:52Okay.
01:53Don't you.
01:56I'm fabulous.
01:58Let's go, let's go, let's go.
02:01Woo!
02:03Is this all that said?
02:04Does it look okay?
02:05Fabulous.
02:05But I love me.
02:08Fabulous with a capital F.
02:11This is Rebecca.
02:13Do you want to pass the water?
02:15I actually asked to Cree when I got here
02:18whether there was any champagne on offer,
02:19but unfortunately not.
02:22I have slightly bit of only child syndrome.
02:26I'm fussy.
02:27I can be slightly selfish, slightly self-absorbed.
02:31I wouldn't say I'm a spoiled brat.
02:33I would say I'm spoiled and grateful.
02:35I get a lot of, like, DMs from guys expecting me to be this bimbo doll.
02:42But I'm not.
02:46How are you?
02:47Hi, I'm good, thank you.
02:49How are you?
02:49You're very good.
02:50How do you feel?
02:51Nervous.
02:52You look it.
02:53Why are you nervous?
02:54Like, I don't go on many dates.
02:55I'm too picky.
02:57I want someone perfect.
02:58Have you got very high expectations?
02:59Extremely.
03:00Okay, come with me.
03:01Perfect.
03:02You're the first.
03:03Oh, I'm the first.
03:03Yes.
03:05Hello.
03:05Hello.
03:06How are you?
03:07How are you?
03:07How are you?
03:07Merlin.
03:08Rebecca, nice to meet you.
03:09Welcome, welcome, welcome.
03:11What would you like?
03:12Can you do, like, a berry mojito?
03:14I can do something like that.
03:16Yes.
03:17So what sort of guys do you like?
03:19Smart, inter-politic, close to their family,
03:22because, like, I'm so close with my mum and dad.
03:26I would definitely say I'm more on the right-wing side of things.
03:29And I'd love someone who equally shares my love for politics.
03:33I don't understand why someone wouldn't be interested in something
03:35that potentially affects their future.
03:38If I had to, like, build a boy, fuzzy hair, kind of.
03:42Fuzzy hair.
03:43Well-educated, like, slightly Boris Johnson looking.
03:47Slightly Boris Johnson looking?
03:48Yeah.
03:49That's not something I thought I'd hear today.
03:52I think I would like to be Prime Minister.
03:57Every prospective Prime Minister has a lovely doting wife
04:00you can support them with along the way,
04:02so that would be quite nice.
04:04Wannabe political powerhouse.
04:06This is Prime Minister-in-waiting, Bradley.
04:10I think I would describe myself as sexy.
04:13Probably don't come across as it, like, externally.
04:17But I think, like, internally.
04:19I've got the good chat to back it up, so...
04:22..in hoping I can meet a brunette Barbie
04:26with the right values, and that matters to me.
04:28How are you, Bradley?
04:31Good, how are you?
04:32Lovely to meet you.
04:33The date has arrived.
04:33She's at the bar.
04:34Oh, great.
04:34Thanks very much.
04:35No problem.
04:36Hello.
04:37Hi, you must be my date.
04:38Pleasure to meet you.
04:39Lovely to meet you.
04:40How are you?
04:41I'm good, thank you.
04:41What's your name?
04:42Rebecca, what's your name?
04:43Bradley.
04:44Oh, lovely to meet you.
04:45How are you?
04:46Very well.
04:46What would you like?
04:47What are we drinking here?
04:49It's a berry mahita.
04:50I'll have one of those.
04:51You'll have one of those.
04:51Yeah, perfect.
04:52How old are you?
04:53I'm 21.
04:54How old are you?
04:5521.
04:5529.
04:56Oh, wow.
04:57Yeah, so, yeah, slightly older.
04:59Oh, what do you do for work?
05:00I work for politicians.
05:02Oh!
05:03Yeah.
05:03So, I write briefings, advice, do research.
05:08So, for, like, both parties or, like?
05:10No, Conservatives.
05:11Oh, excellent.
05:12Yeah, yeah, yeah.
05:13That's wonderful news.
05:14Is that good news?
05:15That is wonderful news.
05:16Good.
05:16Normally it goes, like, one or two ways.
05:18Oh, my goodness.
05:18I find it, like, I've had people, like, completely not dating me or so, like, not even giving me
05:23a chance because of my opinion.
05:25Yeah.
05:25Cheers, anyway.
05:26Oh, cheers.
05:26Bye-bye.
05:26Yeah, lovely to meet you.
05:27Cheers to our first date.
05:29Oh, no, right.
05:32Come strong.
05:32Yeah, I feel like I'm on a beach now.
05:36Are you ready?
05:37I think so.
05:37Yeah.
05:38Let's go.
05:38You hungry?
05:39Yeah.
05:40Ravenous.
05:45Gerald, you need to use a tray.
05:47Okay.
05:48Okay?
05:48Yes.
05:49Always use a tray.
05:50Okay.
05:50Okay.
05:51All right?
05:52Okay?
05:54Okay.
05:54Wook?
05:55Are you comfy?
05:56I'm comfortable.
05:57All right.
05:58Let's go.
05:59Okay.
06:00Don't drop them.
06:01Yeah.
06:12With a style befitting her namesake, this is 52-year-old Paris.
06:17I'm here because I've been single for 11 years.
06:21Even saying it out loud is just like, wow.
06:26It's a long time to be single.
06:29And I've tried everything.
06:32I've done online dating.
06:33I've done speed dating.
06:36It felt like a cattle market.
06:38How are you?
06:42I'm good, thank you.
06:43Nice to meet you.
06:43Nice to meet you, too.
06:44You're looking fantastic.
06:46Thank you so much.
06:47What are you looking for today?
06:49My soulmates.
06:50Oh, wow.
06:50You're really...
06:51You're on a mission.
06:53Yeah.
06:54I've been single long enough.
06:55I'm ready.
06:55Wow.
06:56Well, let's go, then.
06:57Have you ever been in love?
06:58I don't feel like I have.
07:02I think I'm looking for someone special.
07:04Can I get you a drink first?
07:05Yes, please.
07:06A glass of Prosecco.
07:07A glass of Prosecco, of course.
07:10Ooh, this is lovely.
07:14Who are you looking for?
07:16I don't really have a type.
07:18Hmm.
07:19I'm really into personality.
07:22Someone that's positive.
07:23And positive.
07:24Right, positive.
07:24Because I'm very positive.
07:25Cool.
07:26So I'm attracted to people that are empathetic and kind and know how to give, that aren't
07:31selfish, that are open-minded.
07:34I feel like my vibe is a woman that looks quite feminine, but she's got this confident,
07:40masculine energy.
07:41She carries this energy that makes you think, that's the woman I want to be around.
07:51I like cars, beer, football, women.
07:57My dad always said I should have been born a boy.
08:01Glad I wasn't, because I'd rather chew off my own arm, quite frankly.
08:06Confidently bussing it in a power suit, this is 37-year-old Serena.
08:11What's the dating scene like in Melton Keynes there?
08:14Horrendous.
08:15Absolutely horrendous.
08:18I always get approached by men, even in gay clubs.
08:23So I'm on five different dating apps and still, like, I've even done my radius to 60,
08:2870 miles and there's just nothing.
08:31I think I'm getting nervous now.
08:33I am looking for somebody who is older than me.
08:41I've always dated older women.
08:45Somebody who wants to find love and just have fun.
08:49I don't think we're put on this earth to be alone.
08:51I love that walk of confidence.
08:58Oh, wow.
09:00And that suit, that's proper boss lady.
09:03I have no qualms in going up to somebody and telling them I think they're beautiful.
09:10There's no, excuse the pun, beat around the bush, just go for it, yeah.
09:14Hi.
09:15I'm Paris.
09:16Paris, Serena, lovely to meet you.
09:17Nice to meet you.
09:18How are you doing?
09:19I'm really well, thank you.
09:20How are you?
09:20Yeah, good, thank you.
09:21What are you having?
09:22Please, may I have a glass of Prosecco?
09:24Of course.
09:24What, are you on Prosecco as well?
09:26Yeah.
09:26Oh.
09:27Oh, by the way, you look really beautiful.
09:29So do you.
09:30So do you.
09:31When you were standing over there, I was like, oh my God, she's stunning.
09:34Oh, thank you.
09:34You look absolutely amazing.
09:36You really do.
09:37I love what you're wearing.
09:38Well, it was a risky, risky choice.
09:41I love it.
09:41One will be different.
09:42What do you do?
09:43I'm a motivational speaker.
09:45Snap.
09:46Yes.
09:47No way.
09:47Yeah.
09:48Are you serious?
09:48Yeah, yeah, yeah.
09:49Yeah.
09:51So how old are you?
09:53Yes.
09:53Well, how young are you, should I say?
09:55Oh, I don't know.
09:56Please, just.
09:57I'm going to say maybe 36, 37.
10:03I'm 52.
10:03Are you really?
10:05Oh, that's great, because I love older women.
10:07Oh, no, that's brilliant.
10:10No dust here.
10:12How are you getting on with the routine?
10:15You know, you've obviously got me, Merlin, Freddie, who have been here for, like, decades.
10:19So it's about time we had some freshness.
10:22Guys, are we ready?
10:23Oh, wow, yes.
10:24Perfect.
10:24The Korean fried chicken for you.
10:28And the goat's cheese salad.
10:31Do you go on dating apps a lot, then?
10:33I've had, like, mixed experiences on apps.
10:35I think, like, particularly, like, when they find out, like, you work in politics as well,
10:38like, I tell people, like, what I've done and then you just get, like, totally unmatched
10:41or, like, people just, like, say some horrible things to you.
10:43Like, it's not exactly attractive when, like, a raging lefty sort of bashes you for who you
10:48are and what you do, but...
10:49Oh, absolutely.
10:50I know.
10:51I've spoken to people on dating apps and then when they find out who I work for and what
10:56I do, they've, like, very promptly unmatched me.
10:58So it's quite a brutal world out there.
11:01I genuinely do not think it's the be-all and end-all.
11:04No.
11:04Even if they was, like, a total lefty.
11:06Yeah.
11:06Which is fine.
11:08I suppose.
11:10Is it?
11:10I don't know.
11:12I mean, like, at the end of the day, I'm not looking to appease, like, a thousand people
11:17out there in the dating world.
11:18Just finding one would be quite nice.
11:22Like, some of my friends are, like, communists, for example.
11:26I know, which is insane.
11:27Yeah, I wouldn't make friends of those.
11:29Yeah.
11:29Who's the most interesting figure that you've met?
11:32I met Boris once.
11:33Oh, really?
11:34Yeah.
11:34Wow.
11:35I'm really glad that we bonded over, like, politics, because I was really scared that
11:39it was going to be, like, a debate and then that was going to be it.
11:42Oh, no.
11:43You can't have voted in, like, many elections, then, surely?
11:45No.
11:46Just last year?
11:47Yeah.
11:48Really?
11:48Yeah, just last year.
11:50So you must have done two?
11:52No, I've done loads.
11:53Er, so, first one, 2014, European elections.
11:57I was 11.
11:59Christ, God.
12:00LAUGHTER
12:02All right, Prosecco.
12:13Thank you very much.
12:14What is your name?
12:15Sorry.
12:15Oh, shoot.
12:17Shit.
12:18I am sorry.
12:19Don't be silly.
12:20Don't be silly.
12:21It happens.
12:23At least it's not red wine.
12:25At all?
12:25Don't.
12:26Sorry, but...
12:27Be careful, be careful.
12:28You can't take that.
12:28I apologise.
12:29No, don't be silly.
12:30That accident happened.
12:32Are you OK?
12:33My second date.
12:45It didn't go over you, did it?
12:46It didn't go over me at all.
12:48Are you all right?
12:54I almost ruined the date.
12:56Shall we just walk round the bar and do some practising with plates?
12:58OK.
12:59Plates, drinks, and we'll get you back, your confidence back.
13:01All right.
13:02I like it.
13:02Let's go.
13:02I like it.
13:10Are you quite a big drinker?
13:11It depends.
13:13Obviously, I'm 21, so, like, it's still massive.
13:16Sort of big novelty to you.
13:17Yeah.
13:18And what do you get up to outside of day job?
13:22I still go to, like, the club a lot.
13:25Yeah, I do a four-day week, so...
13:27You actually?
13:27Yeah.
13:28Oh, jealous.
13:29I had a little bit of an easy life.
13:31This sounds so bad.
13:32I love living at home.
13:33My parents do absolutely everything for me.
13:36They're my absolute world.
13:38Because I was an only child, they were the only, like, thing I had, so...
13:41Yeah.
13:41I don't get people who strive to move out to then have to suffer.
13:45They can't go out, they can't buy the nice handbag they want,
13:48they can't have, like, a nice bottle of champagne,
13:50because they've got to pay rent and do boring things like laundry.
13:55What about you?
13:57So, yeah, like, very sporty, so, like, training for a marathon currently.
14:01Oh, wow.
14:01So, yeah, like, big into running at the moment.
14:04I went to the gym last about two years ago.
14:06I went on the treadmill, I literally threw up.
14:08I've, like, not drank a lot this year, Eva.
14:13I mean, I've had some bad drunken times,
14:15like, last year at Grand National,
14:17I had, um, three bottles of wine and eight vodkas.
14:20Three bottles of wine?
14:21Mm-hmm.
14:22Are you a party animal, then?
14:23It genuinely depends on the weekend.
14:25I probably go out, like, twice a week.
14:29Not twice a week, twice a month.
14:30Yes, he did it.
14:41All right.
14:42I think you nailed it.
14:42It's just packed it.
14:44So, with your motivational speaking, like, tell me more about that.
14:47I'm what is now very, very commonly referred to as a lived-experienced speaker.
14:55Mm-hmm.
14:55I never lived with my mum and dad.
14:57I went into care when I was six.
15:00Really?
15:02It's not like, poor me, this is how bad it was.
15:05It's, my life is amazing, I grew up in care,
15:07and this is why my life is amazing.
15:10I was told to stay back after school,
15:12and some people from the NSPCC came and took some pictures
15:17and realised very quickly that maybe I needed to go to hospital.
15:22And when they did some x-rays, they found some quite disturbing stuff,
15:26and as a result of that, I never went back home.
15:32Unfortunately, my mum went into prison,
15:34so it was a tough time, a really tough time, actually.
15:39And, yes, it was a scary time, but the NSPCC were lovely.
15:43I had got my first ever cuddly toy.
15:46The first time I got a cuddly toy, was it?
15:48Yeah, it's quite sad to say that, but, yeah, yeah, yeah.
15:53Unfortunately, my foster family broke down
15:55and I went back into a teen's home,
15:56and 14 placements later, I left care.
16:00So, to live in 14 different homes before the age of 18,
16:03you are unsettled, distrustful, angry.
16:10I grew up really fast,
16:12and it made me fiercely independent from quite a young age.
16:16And I had to learn how to be vulnerable
16:19and how to first love myself and then learn to accept love.
16:23And I'm really ready for that now.
16:29I've done enough work on myself.
16:32I'm pretty stable in my life,
16:34and I know where I'm kind of going.
16:35Yeah.
16:36And I'm ready.
16:37Oh.
16:38You're like an earth angel, aren't you?
16:41Snapchat, is that even a sort of thing?
16:43And you don't know about Snapchat?
16:44Well, it is.
16:44Are you still on Snapchat?
16:45No, thanks very much.
16:47So, how do you communicate?
16:49You're going to tell me WhatsApp, aren't you?
16:50Yeah, WhatsApp.
16:50Is that such an old thing to say?
16:51Yeah.
16:52Is it?
16:53I only communicate with my middle-aged work colleagues.
16:57On WhatsApp?
16:58Yeah.
16:58Everything over WhatsApp.
16:59If I want to get in contact with you,
17:01I have to WhatsApp, yeah?
17:04Don't get too ahead of yourself.
17:11You seem pretty confident, like, you know what you're doing.
17:13Like, I don't feel worried about you.
17:15I feel like...
17:16Oh, I'll be fine.
17:16I'm just going to let you do your thing.
17:18I might start becoming a little bit mental,
17:19start doing dancing and stuff like that.
17:20You can dance.
17:21We, we, we...
17:22We do.
17:23We welcome dancing here.
17:24OK, cool.
17:28Hello.
17:29Midwife Anna is a pro at staying calm,
17:32but she's hoping tonight's date gets her heart racing.
17:35I'm an insatiable optimist.
17:38There's something about that spark when two people meet.
17:41Are you looking for a little bit of magic?
17:43Oh, that would be, that'd be great.
17:52I love love, which I haven't given up on that yet.
18:02Very good to meet you.
18:03Lovely to meet you too.
18:04Are you ready for this?
18:05I'm excited, nervous.
18:08Are you?
18:08Yeah.
18:09Let's go.
18:09You're the first, by the way.
18:10Oh, great.
18:11Come with me.
18:13I think if I fancied somebody on the date,
18:17I'm cringing to think,
18:19but I think I could literally swoon at them,
18:20like, ah, swoon.
18:22Hiya.
18:22How you doing?
18:23Oh, well, thank you.
18:24What would you like to drink?
18:25Something, maybe rum.
18:27There's a lovely drink on here.
18:29Oh.
18:29Rum base.
18:30And so where have you come from?
18:31I've come from Weymouth.
18:32Where?
18:33Waybither, as we like to say.
18:35Waybither, right.
18:36And what do you do?
18:38I'm a midwife.
18:39You're a midwife?
18:39Cool.
18:40Bringing babies into the world.
18:42Well, catching them.
18:43Yeah, catching them.
18:45And is it not easy just to meet people these days?
18:48No, not when you're a midwife,
18:49because the only men I meet are about to have their baby,
18:52and that's an absolute no-no.
18:53Oh, right, OK, yeah.
18:55I haven't been on a date in a long time.
18:57I don't meet many people at the moment
19:00in my day-to-day life as a midwife and as a single man.
19:05I think I could fall in love at first sight.
19:11Oh.
19:14Who are you looking for?
19:15What kind of person do you like?
19:17It's that soul connection.
19:19Right.
19:19Which might sound like I'm expecting too much, I'm not sure,
19:22but I think if you aim high, then it gives it a chance.
19:25Well, that's right.
19:26Yeah.
19:27I am really drawn to emotional intelligence.
19:32But I have been accused of being a beard lover.
19:35And I do have a soft spot for Gandalf.
19:39I think I'd love, you know, the idea of stretching out by a ten
19:42and watching the sky.
19:44So an outdoorsy sort of bloke as well?
19:45That would be great, yeah.
19:46That would be great.
19:47Nice.
19:49The way that I used to train in the army,
19:51be hard to kill, be easy to love,
19:54be generous with your time.
19:55No stranger to roughing it in the wilderness
19:59with facial hair to match.
20:01Meet Luke.
20:02Is falling in love anything like falling out of a plane?
20:06I guess we'll find out.
20:07How are you, Luke?
20:11Nice to meet you.
20:11And you.
20:12Pleasure.
20:13What an impressive man you are.
20:14Thank you very much.
20:15You're a man's man.
20:16Your date is here.
20:17Okay.
20:18She's at the bar.
20:18I'm just looking for someone who's just chilled,
20:24likes to have a laugh.
20:26But, you know, someone kind, caring, compassionate, family person.
20:31Maybe a bit on the quirky side.
20:36Surprise.
20:37Hello.
20:37Hello.
20:38How are you?
20:39I'm well.
20:39Hug?
20:40Yeah, absolutely.
20:41Hello.
20:41Hello.
20:42Lovely to meet you.
20:43Lovely to meet you.
20:44Lovely to meet you too.
20:46What can I get you?
20:47Ooh.
20:48There's a cocktail that I had at Download Festival,
20:51a mango smash, which was just so addictive.
20:54Right.
20:54Okay, cool.
20:54Let's see what we can do.
20:56Have you traveled far?
20:57I'm from, well, live in Weymouth now.
20:59Okay, okay.
21:00Is there a decent surf at Weymouth?
21:03I'm an enthusiastic but dreadful surfer.
21:06I can ride a clean wave.
21:08I can do a turn.
21:10Wow, okay.
21:11Well, hats off to you.
21:12You're the professional.
21:13And then I collapse.
21:18You're hypnotized.
21:20This is great.
21:21Sorry, I forgot where we were for a moment.
21:23I'm going to take you to the table
21:24and you can carry on being hypnotized.
21:26You'll miss me, guys.
21:27Ah, last but not least.
21:30Oh, amazing.
21:32Are we doing a dessert cocktail?
21:33A tequila shot?
21:35Should we do a tequila shot?
21:36Yeah.
21:36We could do a tequila shot.
21:37Oh, God.
21:38What have you got me into?
21:38Yeah, go on then.
21:39Yeah.
21:40Enjoy, guys.
21:41Thanks very much.
21:42You're a bad influence on me.
21:43Tequila shots literally used to make me, like,
21:45sick when I was 18, but why not?
21:47After you, you do.
21:54Do you think that he fancied you?
21:58I'd love to think that everyone fancies me.
22:01Oh, my God.
22:02Back of the crease.
22:04I mean, I did notice his eyes a little bit, like...
22:08What do you mean, where are his eyes?
22:11Woo!
22:13I'll just leave the bill in the middle for you guys.
22:14That's great.
22:16Thank you so much.
22:17Do you want to split it?
22:18I'll pay for this.
22:19Are you sure?
22:20It's the least I can do for good company.
22:22Good.
22:22Aw, you're so lovely.
22:28Would you like to see each other again?
22:30I'll let you go first.
22:31I'll go first.
22:32I was going to be the gentleman and go first, anyway.
22:34For me, just being totally honest, probably not.
22:37And I just...
22:39I think you're a really nice girl.
22:40I really enjoy getting to know you.
22:42But for me, just a bit of, like, a lifestyle incompatibility.
22:45Absolutely.
22:46Yeah, I agree.
22:47Yeah.
22:47OK.
22:48Like, you're definitely a catch.
22:49Aw, thank you.
22:50Someone else with Snapchat.
22:54Let me, like, write them briefs and, like, you have to tell them, like, what to do.
22:57I felt like I was talking to, like, one of my uncles and, like, I felt like I was networking.
23:02I feel like I'm about to go home and connect with him on LinkedIn.
23:09Thank you very much.
23:11I think it's the other way round.
23:12Yeah.
23:13Oh, no, I'm sorry.
23:14No, that's OK.
23:14That's OK.
23:16Lovely.
23:16Have I screwed it up?
23:17No, not at all.
23:18Lovely.
23:19Thanks, Joel.
23:20You're all wild, though.
23:21Harold.
23:22Harold.
23:22Gerald.
23:23You got it right.
23:23You got it right.
23:25Bon appetit.
23:26Mmm.
23:28Enjoy.
23:28Bon appetit.
23:29Thank you, you too.
23:30Enjoy.
23:30Enjoy.
23:30Enjoy.
23:30When you were asked what your type was, what did you say?
23:34I don't have a thing around looks.
23:37Mm-hmm.
23:37But I prefer a woman to a man.
23:41What about you?
23:43I like somebody who's a bit taller than me because I'm only 5'5.
23:46So, um, my friends call me pocket rocket.
23:51Oh, no, stop it.
23:52Yeah.
23:53You're not that tall.
23:56So, I said that my type was just somebody, like, really family-orientated.
24:00I agree.
24:01Me and my sister are closed.
24:02Oh, see, that's the thing, like, me and my mum are like two peas in a pod.
24:06Oh, that's okay.
24:06Um, and we recently had an operation where, um, it's just brought us even closer together
24:12if we could be, you know.
24:15Mum had been suffering with kidney disease for quite some time.
24:19It effectively got to the point where my mum said that she just didn't want to live anymore.
24:23And hearing your mum say that, it's, you know, it's heartbreaking.
24:27She'd been on the transplant list for quite a while, but it was getting to the point where,
24:32you know, time was up.
24:34But, um, it turned out I was a perfect match.
24:38And, um, yeah, my mum's got my left kidney.
24:42She's called it Sydney.
24:44Sydney, the kidney.
24:45Yeah.
24:48That was after our operation.
24:51Yeah.
24:51The kidney I gave my mum is called a butch kidney.
24:53Um, ironic.
24:57My mum, because my mum said to me, she went, how funny that.
25:00She said, cos then she told me, you gave me a butch kidney.
25:03She went, oh, my daughter's a lesbian.
25:08Yeah.
25:09Um, good old mums.
25:13Does your mum want you to find someone?
25:15Yes.
25:16We both wear our hearts on our sleeve and we both have a lot of love to give.
25:20I feel like it's my time now to find my person.
25:26Yeah.
25:28Oh, hold up.
25:29Yeah, I was going to say.
25:31Move it back.
25:31Move it back.
25:33Maybe I should get the cushion.
25:35Oh, my God.
25:37Thank you very much.
25:38Oh, my God.
25:49Katie, she's lovely.
25:51The only thing is I can't tell at all if she likes me.
25:57Like, I've got no idea.
25:58None.
25:59I'm not picking up any vibes.
26:04Shall we cheers?
26:05We didn't do that.
26:05Yes.
26:06Cheers.
26:07It's lovely to meet you.
26:08Really lovely to meet you too.
26:09Is that a mojito?
26:10No.
26:10No, it's not, is it?
26:12This is ironically called a second chance.
26:14Yeah.
26:16So, how long are you single?
26:19I got divorced about six years ago.
26:21Okay.
26:22And since then, I'm a single mum to an eight-year-old.
26:25I see.
26:26And I've been in the NHS for 23 years now.
26:28And I work as a midwife and I've worked overseas in humanitarian aid.
26:34I mean, I only did three long placements.
26:36So, I went to South Sudan, which was conflict, and then Haiti after the earthquake and with
26:42Rohingya people in Bangladesh.
26:43In my aid work, I had never found a way of making a relationship work.
26:50And I left specifically because I knew I couldn't be a mum and do aid work.
26:55I then went back to Bangladesh to teach on the country's first ever midwifery course.
27:01And I met a very handsome surfing instructor.
27:05And we did fall in love.
27:08And I found out I was pregnant, which was unexpected.
27:12I just thought, this is, you know, this is my chance to be happy.
27:15I've helped other people.
27:16And now this is my turn.
27:18I think people tend to think that aid workers just waft through the emergencies and it doesn't
27:24impact them whatsoever.
27:25But the reality of aid work is that, of course, you're just people.
27:32We found out at our 20-week scan that my daughter had a brain tumour.
27:38Sorry.
27:41And I can remember we met with the neurosurgeon and I'd asked, what's her chance of survival?
27:48But they just said there was no chance of survival for her.
27:51So I gave birth to her early and she died after an hour.
27:59And it was nine years ago and sometimes it can still bring me to my knees out of nowhere.
28:11We went on and had another daughter and she's the best thing that ever happened to me.
28:18And for six years now, I've been a lone parent and I've got a lot of love to give that I'm not also currently giving.
28:26And I feel really ready that I could share that space with somebody really special.
28:33That would be great.
28:34I brought you something.
28:38Did you?
28:38Now I feel awful.
28:39No, don't.
28:40So it's nautical items that have been repurposed.
28:44Okay.
28:45Thank you very much.
28:46And because it's from the sea, then it would remind you that I'm from the seaside.
28:51That is absolutely lovely.
28:54Thank you so much.
28:55You're welcome.
28:58My apologies for the drink early on.
29:00Oh, no, I don't know.
29:01I'm so sorry.
29:02I'm glad it wasn't Bloody Mary.
29:03No.
29:04Unfortunate error.
29:05So we've got this beautiful area outside.
29:08We've got a dessert for you on the house.
29:09Oh, that would be really nice.
29:10Oh, wow.
29:11Come with me.
29:13Let's go on with it.
29:15Chips down first, that down second.
29:17That down second.
29:18Chips first, that second.
29:19Perfect.
29:20Okay.
29:20And just smile.
29:24I tell you what, do you want me to move half the heart?
29:26No.
29:27I am a blissful.
29:28Go on.
29:28My worry was, I was going to go on a date with somebody that was so hard to have a conversation with.
29:38No way, really.
29:40So, how'd you go?
29:42Really well.
29:43I had a lovely time.
29:45She's brilliant.
29:47I really like her.
29:48It's a great match.
29:49But I didn't get a sense of whether she liked me, like, relationship-wise.
29:55But we had so much in common.
29:57And I really liked her.
30:00Hello again.
30:01Hello.
30:02How do we want to do?
30:03Um, no.
30:04I will get this place.
30:05No.
30:05No, no, no.
30:06You don't even think about it.
30:07You've got to be kidding me.
30:08No.
30:08Her money's fake anyway, so please don't.
30:10My money's fake.
30:11We've even got the same credit card.
30:13No, no, can you not?
30:16Hello.
30:17Hello again.
30:24So.
30:24Would you guys see each other again?
30:29Go on.
30:29Go on, you first.
30:31Definitely, yeah.
30:33Yeah.
30:34No, I would.
30:35I would, yeah.
30:36It'd be really nice to see you again.
30:38Yeah.
30:38I'm so shocked.
30:39Why?
30:40I didn't laugh.
30:41Yeah, I had a great time, but I am shocked.
30:44Why?
30:44I just am.
30:45I really didn't expect you to say yeah.
30:47Really?
30:48Yeah, I didn't.
30:49Oh, well, no.
30:50I had a big good answer.
30:50Lazardly shocked, of course.
30:52I think if I wasn't laughing, you were laughing.
30:54And if you wasn't laughing, I was laughing.
30:57And then throw Harold or Harold or whatever his name is.
31:00Harold or Harold.
31:01I'm sorry.
31:02It is one of those who is there.
31:04Throw him into the mix.
31:05Yeah.
31:05I think we were all there.
31:06He will start to speak out.
31:07He will start to speak out.
31:08Yeah.
31:10Would you be up for getting another drink after this?
31:13Yeah, of course.
31:14Yay.
31:14Let's do it.
31:16Red or white?
31:17Wine.
31:18Yeah.
31:19Wine.
31:19Okay.
31:21Oh, just don't spill it down, we.
31:24Make sure this stays clean.
31:25Don't be Harold.
31:26Harold?
31:26Gerald?
31:27What's his name?
31:27Oh, no.
31:28Wanting to prove he's not just all fur coat and no knickers.
31:41Meet Cormac.
31:43Everyone always asks me, am I born in the wrong decade?
31:46The simple answer to that is, yes, I was.
31:51Having these outfits has allowed me to get recognised by said certain people.
31:56Such as.
31:58Mr Rod Stewart.
32:04How are you?
32:05I'm delicious.
32:06How are you, Fred?
32:06Very good.
32:07What an entrance.
32:08Do you like it?
32:09Yes.
32:09It's quite incredible.
32:10Oh, thank you.
32:11You're looking very nice yourself.
32:12Thank you very much.
32:13Look at him.
32:13Yeah.
32:14Even his shoes.
32:15He looks funky.
32:16Are you ready?
32:17I'm definitely ready, yes.
32:19Come with me.
32:19Thank you very much.
32:21Thank you, Fred.
32:22Hello, hello.
32:22Hello, Merlin.
32:23Would you like a drink?
32:24Yes.
32:24Could I have a green tea with a slice of lemon, please?
32:26Green tea, slice of lemon, coming up.
32:28So what do you do?
32:30I'm a motoring journalist.
32:31Oh, a motoring journalist.
32:32Yeah, as well.
32:33And I've got Rolls Royces and Bentleys as well.
32:34Rolls Royces and Bentleys.
32:36Well, the Rolls Royce was my second car.
32:38That was it, yeah.
32:39Oh, look at that.
32:40What a beauty.
32:41I like the attention that the cars get from women.
32:44When they see a young lad jumping into a car with that kind of calibre, they then seem
32:50to be very interested.
32:52But I don't want the wrong attention.
32:54I want to be with an honest girl.
32:56But what sort of girl are you looking for, then?
32:58I prefer an older woman.
32:59And what's older to you, then?
33:00My cut-off, don't laugh at this, is 65.
33:03I'd say, yeah.
33:03Wow, OK.
33:04No, when you ask out a girl who's my kind of age, she just don't seem to...
33:07Sorry, what is your kind of age, by the way?
33:1024.
33:1024, yeah.
33:11Fingers crossed for you, Matt.
33:12Fingers crossed, Matt, yeah.
33:13I'll see you in a moment.
33:17My dream woman is the kind of woman like Carol Vorderman.
33:21On the countdown to her date, and with a head for figures, is snack bar owner Lorraine.
33:29I'll be 59 this year.
33:31And I don't feel that at all.
33:35I feel 18.
33:37Most people my age are married.
33:40Or dead.
33:44I'm not against being with a younger person,
33:48because I do think that my energy does match a younger person,
33:52and it does give me confidence.
33:54I want somebody that's a little bit different,
33:57and if I fancy them as well, then that's a bonus.
34:02How are you?
34:03You're looking fantastic.
34:04So are you.
34:05If that's her, she looks lovely.
34:07So, are you ready to meet your date?
34:09I think so.
34:10The leather number.
34:11Do you think she's going to put a cigarette out?
34:13Oh, my God, yeah, she looks like Grace and Sandy.
34:15That whole outfit.
34:16No.
34:17This is Cormac.
34:18Enjoy your date.
34:19I'm Cormac.
34:19I look at you.
34:20Do you like it?
34:21You look lovely.
34:23Thank you very much.
34:25What's your name?
34:25I'm Lorraine.
34:26I'm Cormac.
34:27You look fabulous.
34:28You look great.
34:29Tell me about a stud.
34:31Yeah.
34:32Are you OK?
34:33Do you like it?
34:34Yeah, can I have it?
34:35You can, yeah.
34:36Thanks.
34:36Are you into older women?
34:38Yeah.
34:39So what's your cut off?
34:4166.
34:4466?
34:4466?
34:48So I'm 58.
34:50Oh, are you?
34:51Oh, perfect.
34:52How old are you?
34:53Old enough for you.
34:54Oh, my God.
35:01Do you enjoy the sea, I'm guessing?
35:03I do.
35:04I went to visit my uncle.
35:06He lives out in Sydney.
35:07My uncle turned around to me and goes,
35:08Mate, you do not have to go in the water.
35:10I said, do you know what?
35:12I've just done six months in Afghan.
35:15I'll do it.
35:17I'm really interested in Afghanistan.
35:19Are you OK talking about it?
35:21I know that it's probably challenging.
35:23I mean, I didn't lose anyone that I was close to
35:26whilst I was out there.
35:27Mm-hmm.
35:29But I have since they've come back,
35:32which is the ultimate sucker punch, I suppose.
35:37It's just very brutal.
35:39I've never had to deal with someone so close to me
35:41taking their own life.
35:43Sorry.
35:44No, don't be sorry.
35:45Sorry.
35:49I left the upset when I got home.
35:55It's...
35:56I was a mess.
36:00We're all grateful that people do put themselves on the line for others.
36:04Yeah, I mean, you know,
36:06when I first left, my beard was a bit Forrest Gumpy.
36:10Love a big beard, though.
36:12Yeah.
36:13Looks good on you, though.
36:14What's it say under the chair in Meze?
36:23Falafel, served with tzatzki and hummus,
36:26with spice roasted chickpeas.
36:29I'm just laughing because...
36:31I can't pronounce it.
36:33No, I think you're doing very well, honestly.
36:36You are, yeah, yeah.
36:36I'm not Spanish, so I can't pronounce it.
36:38Have you been to Bath before?
36:41I love Bath.
36:42Why do you say Bath?
36:43Oh, it said Bath.
36:44It's Bath.
36:45Bath.
36:48Manchester side?
36:50Yeah.
36:51Gambus Pilpil?
36:53Yeah.
36:53And the chair in Meze,
36:55and the patatus bravus.
36:57I mean, no worries.
36:58I've got to tell you something.
36:59You look a bit like Sandy from Greece.
37:02What, Olivia Newton-John?
37:03Tell me about his stud.
37:04You are the one I want.
37:06I can take that.
37:08I can take that.
37:11Sandy.
37:12Oh, God, your name.
37:16So, tell me about your relationship history, then.
37:20Come on, a date.
37:20This is going to be very, very honest, OK?
37:23I've asked that loads of girls before,
37:25but they're just not interested.
37:27Are they younger girls, you're asking?
37:28Yeah, about my age.
37:29Because I don't have that shredded body,
37:31most girls, young girls,
37:32I'm after, oh, my God, he's got muscles.
37:34Muscles do not appeal to me.
37:36You do know that the dad bod is a thing, don't you?
37:40I do struggle, because I feel like I'm heavy.
37:43Why have you got an issue with you?
37:45Because I was bullied in school.
37:47For what?
37:48Ginger hair, fat, overweight.
37:50I was always picked on, you know, like,
37:52oh, he's thick as shit.
37:53I failed school.
37:55What's helped build my confidence was cars.
37:58That was my passion,
37:59that was my determination
37:59to be able to own some amazing cars.
38:03The reason I've not had a relationship
38:05is because partly I've been so focused
38:07on building my career,
38:09but also it's finding that right woman
38:10who accepts me for me.
38:14I've had a few premium cars at my young age.
38:18Rolls Royces and Men's.
38:19Let's get married.
38:22Yeah.
38:23Let me roll my sleeves up.
38:24This is getting serious.
38:26So what have you got?
38:27Do you want me to show you?
38:28Yeah.
38:29This was my first one.
38:31That was my Rolls Royce.
38:33I've just sold an Aston Martin.
38:36Did you have an Aston Martin?
38:37Which one did you have?
38:39The Aston Martin Vantage.
38:41You had an Aston Martin?
38:42So we've got the Gambus pills,
38:44so I'll check it anywhere, is it?
38:46Yeah, you just...
38:47So you can all dip in.
38:48This is the Mezi plate.
38:49Oh, God, that's garlic.
38:50I can't eat that.
38:51I might be snogging someone later.
38:54I wouldn't mind that.
38:55I'd like that.
38:56He's beautiful, Hannah.
39:09Inside and out.
39:13God.
39:14Are you having a good time?
39:15Yeah, it's been lovely.
39:16Yeah?
39:17Yeah, really nice.
39:19Is it what you were expecting?
39:21You don't know what to expect, do you?
39:22I'm really into electronic music and techno.
39:31Oh, are you?
39:31Techno.
39:32OK.
39:33What do you like?
39:33I like the 60s to the 80s stuff.
39:36Because I think...
39:37They're really not my thing.
39:38I don't know too much about that.
39:39I'm a bit of a raver.
39:40Oh, are you?
39:41Yeah.
39:41Oh, nice.
39:42I'm not your average 58-year-old.
39:45Which is good.
39:46I mean, it's very difficult to find someone
39:49that's good fun that's older.
39:50Yeah.
39:50So I've just spent the last 30 years with somebody
39:54who, it was a very toxic relationship.
39:58I stayed there because...
40:00Your kids.
40:01Yeah.
40:01Yeah.
40:02Exactly.
40:02It's hard, though, isn't it?
40:03It is hard because my mum and dad broke up
40:06when I was five years old
40:07and all I wanted was for them to get back together.
40:10And so then I became obsessive
40:12that I wanted my son, Louis,
40:15to have his mum and dad together.
40:17Yeah.
40:17Was to be together.
40:18I had his previous phone.
40:22He'd got a new phone.
40:23And one of the girls at work
40:25was looking through the photographs on the phone
40:27and said,
40:29Who's she?
40:30I mean, it wasn't a nice way to find out.
40:33And in the end, I'd had enough.
40:35And I wasn't doing it anymore.
40:38And I left.
40:40Thank God I left him.
40:42Are you much happier now?
40:43Oh, my God.
40:44Is it?
40:45My life.
40:46I have the most fantastic life.
40:48That's the main thing.
40:49And I've made that happen.
40:51Two years ago, I felt 108.
40:54But now, I'm a totally different person.
40:57I'm enjoying life.
40:59And I want someone that can do that with me.
41:04What does your son do?
41:06He's a builder.
41:07Now, how old is he?
41:09Older than you.
41:10Is he?
41:10Well, that's...
41:11He's, um, 30 in April, so...
41:16Oh, so he's only six years older than me, then.
41:21Hi, Louis.
41:22This is cool, Matt.
41:23Your new stepdad.
41:24Yeah?
41:24He's 24.
41:29I had a nose piercing once.
41:31Did you?
41:32Yeah.
41:32I've had so many different piercings.
41:34Have you?
41:34Yeah.
41:35It would suit you, though.
41:36It would suit you.
41:36Now, is this a swoon moment?
41:47Hello.
41:49I've had a great time.
41:51I've taken the lips of printing your bill.
41:53Okay, thank you.
41:54Let's split the bill.
41:55No.
41:56I got this.
41:58We have just talked and shared.
42:01You know, the world just disappeared for the last hour or two hours.
42:05I don't even know how I'm mistaken.
42:08I really fancy him.
42:11So pleased with you.
42:13Yes, but that leaves me now a little vulnerable.
42:16It's out of my hands.
42:17Yeah.
42:23Hello.
42:23Hello.
42:24Hello.
42:25Would you like to suit you again?
42:28I'll see you again.
42:29Yeah.
42:29Great.
42:30I was going to say that too.
42:32Okay.
42:33Hey.
42:34It was lovely, wasn't it?
42:35So great.
42:36Yeah.
42:37Yeah.
42:38Same again tomorrow?
42:39Same again tomorrow.
42:42You are so easy to talk to and open up to, especially when I was telling you things that were not easy to tell.
42:50Tell me something that you like about it, Luke.
42:53It's hot.
42:55That's very nice.
42:56You're welcome.
42:57That's awfully kind.
42:59Awfully kind.
43:00So what might a second date look like?
43:03Maybe something that was by the sea.
43:05You can surf and I can swim.
43:08And what should you go by?
43:08There we go.
43:10Are you cold?
43:11A little bit.
43:12Yeah.
43:12Oh, someone's picking it up, aren't they?
43:28Oh, wow.
43:33That is really impressive.
43:35That took me about six months to do that.
43:38Oh, a little more.
43:39Oh, my gosh.
43:40Thank God there's nothing on it.
43:43Do you like me?
43:44Yeah.
43:45Do you like me?
43:45I'm not too young for you, am I?
43:49Well, you are quite young, yeah.
43:51Yeah.
43:52I mean, you're entertaining.
43:53Oh, yeah.
43:55You can usually tell on a date if there is a spark and there isn't, and instantaneously I felt that there was a spark.
44:02You've got a little bit on there.
44:06Are you going to kiss it off?
44:07No, thanks.
44:07No.
44:09There was a lot of flirting, so, yeah, hopefully she does fancy me and she does say, yeah.
44:13I like to stroke my own jacket.
44:16You do, yeah.
44:16Yeah.
44:17What about with me in it?
44:19Yeah.
44:27Hi.
44:27Hey.
44:29What about my hair?
44:31Do you want me to stroke your hair?
44:32You can do, if you want.
44:34Leave that for later.
44:37Would you like to see each other again?
44:41Yes.
44:42I would do, yes.
44:43I would, yeah.
44:45But yeah, I'll definitely see you again.
44:47Are we going out tonight?
44:48I'll go out tonight, yeah.
44:49Yeah, yeah, yeah.
44:50I'll go out tonight.
44:50Yeah, that's a yes then.
44:51Yeah.
44:53I've got a bad back.
44:55Right, are you ready?
44:56You're 24.
44:57Oh, I know.
44:59I feel about 54.
45:01You're very switched on and you know what you want as well.
45:03I like that, so.
45:04Yeah, thank you.
45:05That's really nice.
45:08And you're well sexy as well, so yeah.
45:10I've got a feeling that this is going to be a heavy night, isn't it?
45:18Let's cause mayhem in Bath.
45:20Bath, yeah.
45:21Bath.
45:22Oh, dear, shall we go and get some drinks in Bath?
45:27You mean Bath?
45:30Oh, Gerald.
45:32We love it, don't we?
45:33Oh, we don't.
45:34But yeah, that just goes to show that men can't do two things at once.
45:49I've never had a first date before.
45:51I've never had any date where my food has gone cold.
45:55You're welcome.
45:55You don't think I'm too old for you?
46:09No.
46:09Take all my boxes.
46:12Tell me about it.
46:13You don't think I'm too old for you, but you don't think I'm too old for you, but you don't think I'm too old for you, but you don't think I'm too old for you, but you don't think I'm too old for you, but you don't think I'm too old for you, but you don't think I'm too old for you, but you don't think I'm too old for you, but you don't think I'm too old for you, but you don't think I'm too old for you, but you don't think I'm too old for you, but you don't think I'm too old for you, but you don't think I'm too old for you, but you don't think I'm too old for you, but you don't think I'm too old for you, but you don't think I'm too old for you, but you don't think I'm too old for you, but you don't think I'm too old for you, but you don't think I
