00:00It doesn't feel fair to get your heart broken at Christmas, especially when you never saw
00:19it coming. I usually love this time of year. I mean, don't we all? Carts are a little more open. Everything's a little more hopeful. I still remember when my dad moved us here after the divorce. He was so excited to show me London at Christmas. The city's just so magical. And back then
00:49we both needed some magic. And maybe it was the lights, or the fact it was Christmas, or maybe it was just time, but it changed everything.
01:09My mom may have been traveling the world with her boyfriend of the month, but I had my dad. I made friends, and I created a whole life for myself.
01:18I nicked these from my mom.
01:20It was fun!
01:22Everything was fine. Life goes on. But earlier this year, my dad retired, and broke his hip in a motorcycle accident.
01:32Now he's different. Withdrawn.
01:36And I'm the only one here to notice it.
01:39Of course, I'm going to take care of him the way that he takes care of me.
01:45And it made it hard for me to keep up with work, which has never happened to me before.
01:50And then, if that wasn't enough, here come my best friends telling me,
01:54oh, we think you're missing out on life because you haven't been on a date in a while?
01:59Which I thought was insane.
02:01But you know, then doubt crept in, and I thought, do I have no life?
02:04Do I have too many walls up? Do I just not trust love?
02:09So I did this thing, and it totally turned my life upside down.
02:14I actually found someone.
02:16At least I... I thought I did.
02:24And here I am, on a train, at Christmas, the most romantic, magical time of the year.
02:32And I'm... by myself.
02:36And all I can think about is that I had the chance to be with somebody really great.
02:42And I made the wrong choice.
02:48My dear, when I asked where you were headed, I meant which stop.
02:53Oh.
02:54Lexford.
02:56Well, you've arrived.
02:59Merry Christmas.
03:04Tis the season.
03:05Tis the season.
03:12Tis the season.
03:42It's up.
03:42It's up.
03:42Oh, my God.
03:43It's up.
03:43It's up.
03:44It's up.
03:44It's up.
03:45You have to get out of the front door open again, Dad.
03:45You know, it concerns me that you are not concerned about your safety.
03:47You do all the worrying for me.
03:49So.
03:50Any plans to leave the house today?
03:53Yeah.
03:54Either I'll have tea with the royal family.
03:57Maybe a polo match afterwards.
03:58Do I detect a bit of sass this early in the morning?
04:02Good for you.
04:05Really.
04:06That's quite brilliant, isn't it?
04:07Yeah, it's great, except for the fact that you're supposed to be moving.
04:09Otherwise, your scar tissue is going to get all stiff and immobile.
04:12I believe that the term that the doctor used was exactly move it or lose it.
04:17And you're supposed to be working on your core.
04:19Everything comes from the core.
04:20Work on your own bloody core.
04:22Look, why don't you take a train into the city today,
04:25and you can take one of the old routes and see the guys,
04:27and then I'll meet you for coffee.
04:28Maybe tomorrow.
04:30All right. I'll come by later, then.
04:31With curries?
04:32With curries.
04:34Oh, best daughter.
04:35Best dad.
04:37You know, I can feed myself if you have other plans.
04:39Yeah.
04:39That just means you'll have Guinness for dinner.
04:43Sounds heavenly.
04:54Another day, another nothing.
04:58Doesn't Lady Slewsworth have enough plaid waistcoats?
05:00You'd think.
05:02Nicola wants me to come up with something different for her clients.
05:04Something fresh, but classic.
05:07Unlike this martial latte with extra salt and caramel.
05:10What are you, the king of caffeine?
05:11I prefer your majesty, but since you're an American, I'm going to let it slide.
05:14I need a triple espresso with an extra shot, and can you pour it directly into my veins?
05:19Tough night.
05:19Yeah.
05:20Getting two children bathed into bed, I wrote closing remarks to my next case
05:24and fell asleep with cabbage leaves in my bra.
05:26Sounds like a wild night.
05:27Yeah.
05:27The internet said it would cure my mastitis.
05:33Wake him and die.
05:36Oh, Kate!
05:37I found a Christmas present.
05:39Christmas is like three weeks away.
05:40Yeah, this can't wait.
05:41The 12 days of Christmas.
05:44Ta-da!
05:44This holiday season, let us bring the merry with festive matchmaking that will really jingle
05:50your bells.
05:51Yeah, it's a Christmas-themed dating service.
05:53Brilliant.
05:54I wish I'd thought of it.
05:55There is no way I would ever do that.
05:57What?
05:58No.
05:59No.
05:59Oh, this is going to be good.
06:01Why not?
06:02Just watch the ad.
06:04It's really cute.
06:05There's a little cupid, and it's dressed up like Father Christmas.
06:08Ew!
06:09Do you hear yourself?
06:10This is clearly meant to exploit the fears of people who don't want to be alone at Christmas.
06:15I mean, beware single people.
06:16Cuffing season is upon us.
06:17Shh!
06:19I think it sounds fun.
06:20Yeah.
06:21Well, then you do it.
06:22Oh, okay.
06:22Yeah, sure.
06:23No, I will.
06:23Except I've got that peach of a husband.
06:24Yeah, well, you met when you were, like, 15, so, of course, you think dating sounds fun.
06:29Okay, fine.
06:30But I'm not wrong.
06:31You need some fun.
06:33You never go out anymore.
06:35I'm out more than she is, and I've got a five-month-old.
06:37And you don't see me judging your choices.
06:39I'm not judging.
06:40I'm just trying to help.
06:41Okay?
06:42And your stress has been on the rise.
06:45I can sense it.
06:46And you've been a saint helping your dad.
06:48And you are the catch of the century.
06:51We talk about it behind your back.
06:52I mean, she does most of the talking, but as annoying as it is, we care.
06:58Okay.
06:59You guys, really?
07:00I'm fine.
07:01Okay, sure.
07:02She's fine.
07:03But what about joy?
07:04Huh?
07:05What about adventure and connection?
07:09Okay?
07:09This dating thing could be weird, but it might also be fun.
07:15And you might let some new things into your life.
07:18And so I'm signing you up.
07:20Because you need them.
07:21You need this.
07:22I need this for you.
07:25Let it go.
07:2812 men, Kate.
07:3012.
07:3012.
07:3112 men, 12 men.
07:35Get a life.
07:39This isn't over.
07:40This isn't over.
07:409-10-1.
07:499-10-1.
07:549-10-1.
07:57Why haven't I seen this one before?
08:16Have you?
08:17Last spring.
08:17I didn't love it, but now...
08:20Yeah, still don't love it.
08:22Oh, uh, what if we did it from this angle?
08:26Then we could sort of, like, uh, have them going appalling.
08:30What else?
08:31Uh, I have...
08:35Sorry, yeah, it's just...
08:37I've been having kind of a tough time since my dad's accident,
08:40but I'm coming back.
08:41Kate.
08:42This is one of the only female-owned design houses on Savile Row.
08:46There is no trying.
08:48You must do.
08:50Could you just quote Yoda at me?
08:51Who?
08:52Forget it.
08:542021.
08:54Kate Middleton selected the Nicola by Nicola Trouser
08:58to wear to the pricking of the bodkin.
09:00My design and tailoring were the main draw, of course,
09:02but with your pattern...
09:04It was the perfect mix.
09:07And we made history.
09:08Remember?
09:09The single most important moment of my professional career?
09:12Yes, I remember.
09:14Did you know I was going through a divorce
09:15from husband number three at the time?
09:17And a nasty custody battle over our racehorse.
09:20No, I didn't know that.
09:22Exactly.
09:23So get it together, darling.
09:25Art shouldn't have an Oswitch.
09:37What's this now?
09:39This is your intervention.
09:42Sit down and we'll begin.
09:43Add to Rute.
09:49I'm sorry.
09:49She's scary.
09:54Exhibit A.
09:56Your joggers.
09:57Oof.
09:58They could talk.
09:59What would they say?
10:01Help!
10:02No.
10:03I think they would probably object to this line of questioning.
10:06I'm sorry.
10:07Is there a new law against being comfortable?
10:11Exhibit B.
10:13Your Insta.
10:15Nary a new post or story in over a year.
10:19Well, yeah.
10:20Because I've been out in the real world living my life.
10:23Give me your phone.
10:24No.
10:25No.
10:25No.
10:26Why would I do that?
10:27Because on it would be Exhibit C.
10:31Her calendar.
10:33Empty.
10:34Okay.
10:34You know what?
10:35I'm going to chalk this all up to sleep deprivation on your part.
10:38No.
10:38This is your best friend talking.
10:40Who loves you very dearly and is desperate to give you a wake-up call.
10:44The 12 dates of Christmas.
10:47Huh?
10:4712 opportunities to get out of your normal life to do something different.
10:55To let loose and let good times roll.
10:59Or 12 possible horror stories you can entertain us with.
11:01I mean, that alone is a great reason to do it.
11:03See?
11:04This is my point.
11:05It's a joke.
11:06No.
11:07The point is that you won't even consider it.
11:09You haven't been on a date in years.
11:11It hasn't been that long.
11:12It has most definitely been that long.
11:14Even if it had been that long, which it hasn't.
11:16I'll date when I'm ready.
11:18Okay?
11:18When it's on my terms.
11:20I've watched you resist anything stronger than a handshake.
11:24Bunch of first dates but no follow-up.
11:26You avoid giving anybody a chance.
11:31Okay.
11:31So to sum this all up, you're saying that my life is a total disaster and that dating is going to fix everything.
11:38No, that's not what we're saying.
11:39I'm not talking to you.
11:39I'm talking to a wig lady.
11:42It's called a peruke, actually.
11:43I used to sit and watch you sketch for hours.
11:46You were totally lost in it and it was the most wonderful thing to watch because I could see how happy it made you.
11:54And I don't see you do that anymore.
11:57Something's changed.
11:59We just want to see you happy.
12:00We want to see a smile on that face and some light in those eyes.
12:05We just want to see you hang out with, you know, frankly anyone except, you know, this old geezer.
12:10Sorry?
12:12Just give it a go.
12:16And besides, you know, I already signed you up, so.
12:21Okay.
12:22Well, you know what?
12:23I hate to tell you this but you wasted your money.
12:25And even though I technically love you guys, I also sort of hate you right now because you're making me feel like my entire life is just one big problem.
12:33So, with that, I bid you adieu, curry's on the table, have a great night.
12:39Kate, wait.
12:43You're too young to spend every night with your old man.
12:47Go ahead and live your life.
12:50I could say the same thing to you.
12:51You've taken care of me long enough.
12:54I can get my own curry.
12:57Can you?
12:58Maybe it's time for me to change it up a bit, too.
13:05Fine.
13:06Okay.
13:08Getting my dad involved?
13:09Really dirty move.
13:10Well, I know how to win a case.
13:12Anyway, go and get changed and put your face on because your first date starts in 90 minutes.
13:19I think that.
13:26I need new friends.
13:34I need new friends.
13:41Comedy time
13:43When magic happens
13:48It's a jolly old time
13:54In Manhattan
13:57Holiday greetings.
14:04I'm Drew, the founder of the 12 Dates of Christmas dating program.
14:09And I'm your Christmas Cupid.
14:12Welcome to the first of 12 magical romantic experiences.
14:16Let me see.
14:17You are Kate Tucker.
14:19Textile designer.
14:20Very cool.
14:21American and English.
14:23Amazing.
14:24Loves to read very romantic-y.
14:27Whoa.
14:28No, no.
14:28That's not me.
14:29You know, my friend.
14:30No judgment here.
14:3212 dates were created to inspire connections in ways that you might not expect.
14:38Sometimes you'll meet in a group.
14:39Sometimes you'll meet one-on-one.
14:41But all you need to know is that my matchmaking intuition is hard at work.
14:47And the 12 dates' philosophy is that this time of year is perfect to open your heart to romance.
14:56Is it?
14:57Absolutely.
14:59You'll see.
15:00Love day, I guess.
15:10Thanks for having me.
15:11Yeah, yeah.
15:11I'm nervous.
15:12Is it just me or does this whole thing feel kind of like an Agatha Christie novel?
15:19Like they lure us here for romance and one of us is gonna end up dead on the library floor
15:24My love life has been a murder mystery for years
15:28Your carriage awaits
15:49Magical
15:59And your date is on the way
16:08Won't be long
16:10Okay, this is pretty cute
16:19I miss you
16:49Crunchy.
17:01Knock, knock.
17:03I'm afraid I've not got the best snoots.
17:07I can't believe there was a no-show.
17:09I never expected that to happen.
17:11Honestly, it's fine, because I didn't even want to do this.
17:14I was literally forced into this, so it's funny, you know?
17:17And now it's good, because I can report back
17:19that it was a spectacular failure.
17:23Don't let it deter you.
17:25The 12 days will make it up to you.
17:27I promise.
17:29This is not for me.
17:31I am not a dinner-for-two, romance kind of a person.
17:35I just, I don't need it. I don't want it.
17:37But I appreciate the breadsticks.
17:39Hup-hup, driver.
17:47This is not for me, Charles.
17:49We'll pass it to Garnish.
17:57Oi!
17:58Give me all your pasties and nobody gets hurt.
18:00She survived. How was it?
18:02Well, it's not great.
18:04It was a no-show.
18:05No.
18:06Yeah, Laura's apoplectic.
18:07I'm sure she'll have a full refund by the morning.
18:09That's a shame.
18:10I was hoping for hilarity.
18:11It was just sad.
18:12Yeah.
18:13Well, at least it's proof that the answer to all of life's questions is not in a dating surface.
18:18Well, I wouldn't say that.
18:19Why?
18:20Well, you never really date.
18:21And when you do, you always find a flaw.
18:23It's funny because I seem to remember choosing you for a brief moment in time.
18:27One kiss in uni doesn't count.
18:29Whatever.
18:30You know, dating is just so messy.
18:32When the right person comes into my life, I'm gonna know.
18:35Sorry, sorry, sorry.
18:38Train delay was murder.
18:40Kate, you look lovely all dressed up.
18:45Thanks.
18:46Wanna join us?
18:47That's okay.
18:48I'm just gonna go see my dad.
18:49I'm sure the next one will go great.
18:51If he shows up.
18:52If he shows up.
18:53If he shows up.
18:57What are you shaking?
19:03What?
19:04Date two tonight?
19:06I'm busy.
19:07Oh, we both know that's not true.
19:09Why are you making me do this?
19:11Because I have been with the same man my entire life.
19:16And I need you to go out and have a wonderful, highly spicy time and come back and tell me all the details.
19:24Spicy bit.
19:26Oh.
19:27Oh.
19:28Hi, Mum.
19:29Goodness.
19:30You look tired.
19:31Oh.
19:32Oh.
19:33Thanks for that.
19:34You, of course, look radiant as always.
19:48You are.
19:49The salter and the grenadines does wonders for the body, among other things.
19:55I don't even want to know what that means.
19:56I would like you to come here for the holidays.
19:59What?
20:00Well, you're always with your dad for Christmas.
20:01It's so gloomy there.
20:02We could spend Christmas day on the beach in a bikini.
20:07Or, uh...
20:08No.
20:09Frankini.
20:10No.
20:11Whatever it is you want.
20:12Mom.
20:13Dad is having a really rough time, so I have to be here.
20:14And actually, I don't even think that I can be with you for New Year's this year either, so sorry.
20:17But, Nugget, New Year's is our thing.
20:18We always meet for New Year's.
20:19Yeah, I know.
20:20But I have to be here.
20:21Anyway, look at the time.
20:22I have to go get ready for a date, so...
20:24Oh.
20:25You're not going to leave me there.
20:26You're not going to leave me there.
20:27You're not going to leave me there.
20:28You're not going to leave me there.
20:29You're not going to leave me there.
20:30You're not going to leave me there.
20:31We could spend Christmas day on the beach in a bikini.
20:33Or...
20:34No.
20:35Whatever it is you want.
20:36Dad is having a really rough time, so I have to be here.
20:38And actually, I don't even think that I can be with you for New Year's this year either.
20:41So, sorry.
20:43Anyway, look at the time.
20:45I have to go get ready for a date, so...
20:47What? A date?
20:48Bye-bye. Gotta go. Bye.
20:49No.
20:50Get...
20:50The mittens have landed.
21:03And that's my cue.
21:05Glad you're coming around again.
21:07Don't get mushy on me.
21:09Evelyn.
21:10I haven't seen you around here lately.
21:12I've been busy.
21:14Well, retirement will do that.
21:17I took up 20 hobbies in my first year.
21:21Such as the book club that knits.
21:26What about you?
21:27Birdhouses.
21:29Can't stop making them.
21:30I've got about 40 in my shed.
21:35How's the hip?
21:36In this village, nothing goes unnoticed.
21:41It's fine.
21:43My Latin aerobics class will loosen his hips right up.
21:48What's Latin aerobics?
21:49Stop by tomorrow.
21:52Think you like it?
21:55It'll be fun.
21:56Well, there you go.
21:57Button it.
21:57Like Cinderella.
22:07The shoe fits perfectly.
22:09Drew, remind me which part of Cinderella involved her breaking both her ankles.
22:13Don't worry.
22:14You will have someone to hang on to.
22:17Meet?
22:19Oliver.
22:19She's pretty far away.
22:26You both skate towards each other, meet in the middle, and form a connection.
22:30It'll be epic.
22:32Oh.
22:37It'll be something.
22:38It'll be something.
22:51Hi.
22:52Hi.
22:57Is this the night you had in mind?
22:59You know, I was actually picturing comfortable seating and strong drinks.
23:04Okay.
23:04Well, I haven't done this in a long time.
23:10Date?
23:11It's gate, but date applies, too.
23:14So, why are you?
23:17I mean, I'm just so curious about the type of person who would actually sign up for this.
23:21I could say the same to you.
23:23Oh, no, no.
23:23I am here against my will.
23:25Okay?
23:25I was forced into this.
23:26It was an ambush.
23:27And I will have my revenge.
23:29You know, my friends think I don't get out enough or whatever.
23:33Ugh, this is harder than I remember.
23:36Dating.
23:37Escaping.
23:38So, are you going to answer my question?
23:41Why am I doing 12 dates?
23:44I'm just going to say it.
23:45Loneliness.
23:47That's a bold admission.
23:48Good for you.
23:49Yeah, this time last year I was in a relationship and I thought this might help me move on.
23:53At least not feel alone at Christmas.
23:57Is it working?
23:59I think so.
23:59I think that's for us.
24:03I hope so.
24:06Wasn't too bad.
24:09That's enough.
24:13There he was, just wedged right between the seats.
24:17Completely.
24:18Couldn't stand up.
24:18Had to get not one but two ushers.
24:20They yank me out.
24:21Oh, no.
24:22Yeah, and I guess that's why they say don't do bottomless mimosas before you go see Wicked.
24:27So, um, what's the story with your last relationship?
24:34Oh, um, she ended things.
24:37What did you do?
24:38It was more about what I didn't do.
24:40Everything about our relationship was, uh, outside my comfort zone, which I thought I didn't like.
24:46Turns out it's the best.
24:47I only realized too late.
24:48Hey, you live and you learn, right?
24:50What am I doing?
24:53On a date, whinging about my ex?
24:55It's fine.
24:56Get your feelings, my guy.
24:57I'm here for you.
24:59You're friendzoning me?
25:01Just trying to be a good listener.
25:03Pretty much everything about this experience is out of my comfort zone.
25:08And I don't think it's a good thing.
25:11I think it could be.
25:12Hmm.
25:14Oh.
25:15Will we?
25:22Bad luck not to.
25:23Hmm.
25:37Oh, no.
25:42I'm sorry.
25:47Oh, you're so nice.
25:49Well, thank you.
25:57Oh.
25:58I didn't realize she was everything I ever wanted until she was gone.
26:01And now, whenever I meet someone perfectly nice, all I can think about is her.
26:08She wanted to plan a life together.
26:10She wanted to get married.
26:11On a boat.
26:14I told her I wasn't a boat person.
26:17What does that even mean?
26:19Okay.
26:21Can't you just tell her how you feel?
26:23No.
26:24She's met someone else now.
26:26She's moved on.
26:28Okay, so what?
26:30What?
26:31So she met someone else.
26:32I mean, you can still tell her how you feel.
26:35It's too late.
26:37You don't know that.
26:38I mean, how is she supposed to know how you feel unless you tell her?
26:46I'm embarrassed.
26:47He just wept in my mouth.
26:49I think if you can get through that, you can get through talking to your ex-girlfriend.
26:53So yeah, I think I really inspired him.
26:58Or it's time to get his heart broken again.
27:00He literally cried on your face.
27:03In my mouth.
27:04Oh.
27:05It was upsetting.
27:06But kind of sweet, you know?
27:08I mean, we love a guy who's in touch with his feelings.
27:10This was supposed to be about you, not some rando.
27:12Come on.
27:13I helped this guy reconnect with the love of his life?
27:15That's like the most romantic thing I've ever been a part of.
27:17Oh, this is my point.
27:19The most romantic thing you've ever been a part of, and it's not even for you.
27:21I mean, I hate to say it, but she's right.
27:23It's fine, Cam.
27:24It's fine.
27:24The next one is going to be brilliant.
27:26Oh, because you have the inside scoop now?
27:28I have Drew on speed dial.
27:29Oh, poor woman.
27:31She needs to know.
27:32You and me come as a package deal.
27:34This is true.
27:37So, the physical therapist says that you're not doing your exercises.
27:42Yeah, I feel dumb.
27:44Hmm, I'm pretty sure that's for them to decide, not you.
27:47Haven't you got a date to get ready for?
27:49I have some extra time.
27:50Thought I would go to Goring, maybe walk along the Thames.
27:53You want to join me?
27:55Uh, go.
27:56Maybe tomorrow.
27:57Another day.
27:58Well, we could take it slow.
28:01Maybe another day.
28:05All right, fine.
28:06Just at least walk around the block or something, would you?
28:09Yeah, I'll think about it.
28:10Well, excuse me for trying to keep your joints from completely fusing together for lack of exercise.
28:19I'm behind, I'm behind, John's left.
28:46I'm behind, John's left.
28:47I'm behind.
28:48I'm behind.
28:49I'm behind.
28:50I'm behind.
28:51I'm behind.
28:52I'm behind.
28:53I'm behind.
28:54Come on.
28:55Come on, come with me.
28:56What?
28:57Trust me.
28:58Oh, no.
28:59It's hard.
29:00Just go to the back.
29:01Take it easy.
29:02I'm behind.
29:03I'm behind.
29:04And a one.
29:05Two.
29:06Okay, easy now.
29:07You can do this front.
29:08And go to the side, and the side.
29:12Side and side.
29:15Now we're pushing the hands and pushing.
29:18Don't be kind.
29:19Don't be kind.
29:20Push.
29:21Move those hips and you can shimmy.
29:23Shimmy

31:26I'm a working dad
31:27So why this?

31:29Why not like the apps?
31:30More efficient
31:31User friendly
31:32User friendly?
31:33It's very romantic
31:35I'm a working dad so I outsource everything that I can
31:38This way someone else picks the people, sets up the dates, and all I have to do is book a sitter
31:44Kids, huh?
31:45Two girls
31:46Cute
31:47What about their mom?
31:50Remarried to an accountant
31:52Great guy actually
31:54Are you actually this nice?
31:57Yes
31:58Hmm
31:59Oh
32:00Here we are
32:01Ugh
32:03Ugh
32:05Oh, that is very bad
32:07Hmm
32:08What do I think is that?
32:10Oh wait
32:11Mm-hmm, getting it?
32:12Mm
32:13Like burnt rubber kind of thing?
32:14Yeah, right in there
32:15Well done
32:16I think we nailed it
32:17Yeah
32:20Co-parenting is fine
32:23Fine
32:24Kids are used to it
32:25Takes work
32:26But
32:27We manage
32:29Well
32:30Well I mean that's
32:31Definitely something you can be proud of
32:33My parents split up when I was a teenager and
32:35Co-parenting was definitely not an option
32:38I take it to mean it wasn't a harmonious split
32:41My mom ripped my dad's heart out and he tried to pretend that he was fine
32:45How are things now?
32:46I'm really really close with my dad
32:50And my mom thinks we're close but
32:54I mean she ditched
32:58She's very free spirited which I wish I could say I admired but
33:03Honestly I think it's just an excuse for her to be unreliable
33:07So
33:08Yeah, her thing's kinda messy
33:10Mm
33:14Want me to trade?
33:15Here we go
33:19That's pretty good
33:20Of course
33:21A little bit of the snow
33:24This little guy
33:26Nice work
33:28We'll make a good team
33:29I think so too
33:30Oh
33:47If you've come to try and make me shake my hips some more please don't bother
33:50I wouldn't dream of it
33:52Women of Blacksford will become frenzied with desire
33:56Yeah, come
34:00A lot of people are intimidated when they first start
34:06Well
34:07I was kidnapped
34:09Gets easier every time
34:20Martin
34:22Would be off his head if he knew that I was teaching
34:25Latin aerobics
34:31Hey
34:34After he passed I
34:37I didn't know what I was going to do with myself
34:42Eventually I realised that
34:46I was still me
34:49Just a different version of myself
34:54So I just got on with it
34:55Come on
35:00All this fuss
35:03All I did
35:04Was retire and break a hip
35:06Exactly
35:08So get over yourself
35:18Martin was a good man
35:20Yes he was
35:22But he would have died all over again if he'd seen you trying to die
35:26Oh
35:28There
35:29Oh
35:42There we go
35:43There we go
35:45There we go
35:47Hey
35:49Hey
35:51Hey
35:52Hey
35:53Hey
35:54Hey
35:55Hey
35:56Hey
35:57Hey
35:58Oh that was hard to watch
35:59Yeah it was
36:00Poor woman
36:01I know
36:03I still think they should have given us something for having the most disgusting
36:07I think we're the winners
36:08Yeah
36:10Well
36:11You know I didn't have high hopes for this
36:14But I actually had a really good time
36:16I had fun too
36:18Although there is something I have to mention
36:20Oh boy here we go
36:21It's not bad
36:23I'm not looking to just date someone
36:25I want to get married again
36:27Have more children
36:28Not today
36:29I just
36:31Find it's best to be really upfront about it
36:34Here I was just hoping to get your phone number
36:36You can have it
36:37Just
36:38Also want you to know what my intentions are
36:41Okay
36:43I respect that
36:48What about you?
36:52What about me?
36:54Marriage, kids, your future
36:56Are you always this serious on a first date?
37:02Actually yeah
37:04Dating is time consuming
37:05We both have really busy lives
37:08It's just cut to the chase
37:10What do you want?
37:14I don't know
37:15I don't really think about it
37:16Really?
37:19Really I don't
37:22Why are you doing all this?
37:23If you don't really know what you're looking for?
37:27That's a good question
37:31Maybe I
37:33Maybe I shouldn't be
37:42Are you ever gonna block that?
37:47Dad?
37:49So he's not in the shed
37:50He's not in the pub
37:51And he's not in the pear tree
37:53Where else could he be?
37:54How long should I wait before I file a missing parent report?
37:57I'm not sure
37:58But anyway there's always date number four
38:00So one more try
38:01My friend
38:02It's time to let it go
38:03But there's nine more dates
38:05That guy was right
38:06I have no idea what I want
38:07What's the point of doing all this
38:08If not a relationship
38:09Or a serious commitment
38:11Or a betrothal
38:13Betrothal?
38:14Look
38:15This is all too much for me to take on
38:17I mean it's like my dad
38:18And work
38:19And
38:20I can't
38:21I can't be
38:22Trying to solve an existential crisis
38:24It's just too much
38:25Yeah
38:26It'll just look so romantic
38:28To have all that choice
38:30To be hopeful
38:31And full of possibility
38:33Do you know how hard it is
38:34To be a divorce lawyer
38:35Who believes in true love?
38:37You really do contain multitudes
38:39Thanks babe
38:40Seriously
38:41I see you work so hard
38:43And you take so much care
38:44Of the people you love
38:45And
38:46You deserve to have someone
38:47Take care of you too
38:48And I just really want to help you find that
38:49I know
38:50I know how badly you want this
38:51If something amazing
38:52Shows up at my door
38:53I promise to
38:54Open it

39:45Greetings
39:46I come bearing gifts
39:47No
39:48No more mystery dates for me
39:49I'm done
39:50Well
39:51Why don't you just read the card?
39:54Look
39:55I've been watching you
39:56I'm scared
39:57Well
39:58It's my job
39:59And this doesn't come as much of a surprise
40:01Seeing as this is only a third date
40:04But
40:05You haven't had your moment yet
40:08What moment?
40:09The moment when you realise that this is why you're doing the 12 dates
40:14Because of this person
40:16Or this experience
40:18Or this self-realisation
40:21People do this programme because they're searching for something
40:27And we help them find it
40:29Okay
40:30Okay
40:31Well
40:32What if I don't even know what
40:34It is?
40:35That's the beauty of it
40:37You don't have to know what it is
40:40You just have to take a chance
40:42When it comes
40:45He's here
40:48Who's where?
40:49Richard
40:50The guy from the first date
40:52These are from him
40:53He's in the cafe down the road
40:56Read the card
40:58Take a chance
40:59Tis the season
41:00Snowflakes dancing on the window of pain
41:04Laughter echoing down the lane
41:08Something about this time of year
41:11Kate, sorry I was an old snow
41:13I'm hoping you'll forgive me
41:15Richard, P.S. I'm a complete and utter idiot for missing our first date
