00:00There are millions of us looking for that special someone.
00:04Hello, everybody.
00:05I'm only talking to the hot sexy men right now.
00:08I would like to be painted naked and taken pictures of.
00:14But modern dating can be complicated.
00:18Wow, this is the really hard bit.
00:21You need a spark, you need to fancy each other.
00:24The ideal relationship is where we can just have a laugh together,
00:27we'll have a few dates and then the jiggy-jiggy comes after.
00:31Perfection would be great, but I'll just settle for fantastic.
00:37This summer... How are you? I'm here for my date.
00:40There's a restaurant with a difference.
00:41Oh, my God, she is fit.
00:44Everyone in it will be single and on a real first date.
00:48You've got a very beautiful smile. That's so cheesy!
00:51Cameras will catch every moment in the search for love.
00:55Nice to meet you. How are you?
00:57Terrified.
00:59Plastic-costed my friend's vagina.
01:02What? Sorry?
01:03Sorry. Are you in love with me then?
01:05No.
01:06I'm not hopeful.
01:07Will any of these first dates...
01:09Should we sit in the sun for a bit?
01:11..lead to a second?
01:12Out of ten?
01:14Definitely give her one.
01:16I don't want to lie.
01:18Instantly fancied her one.
01:19..and will anyone find their perfect match?
01:22Aww.
01:23I like Angela, but I think she likes me.
01:27Oh, my God. I feel like I'm ten.
01:41How are you?
01:42Hi, thank you. How are you?
01:43Every week, this restaurant is full of hopeful singles, all looking for love.
01:47Hi. How are you?
02:01I don't want to be sweating when he turns up.
02:04I can be a bit of a bitch on a date sometimes, but they must know that they're kind of
02:10batting above their weight anyway.
02:12You mean, how are you?
02:13Like Tamsin, all the first daters have to go on is their partner's name and what they look like in
02:19a photo.
02:19I am a bit worried that my time might be running out. You know, I'm not going to look like
02:24this forever.
02:26I kind of play hard to get, which is maybe why I haven't found anyone.
02:29Have I had my heart broken?
02:31Er, I've been sad, I guess.
02:34From being caught.
02:37You can have your strongest alcoholic cocktail.
02:39Strongest alcoholic cocktail.
02:40Yeah, you can have a shot of Zambuca as well.
02:44Leeds University student Sabah is on a first date with Essex girl Sophie.
02:51Oh, my God, she is fit.
02:54Holy...
02:57How are you today? Are you OK?
02:59I'm very well, thank you. How are you?
03:01Yeah, I'm fantastic.
03:08Cheers, thank you.
03:10Thanks, hello.
03:11I'm Sabah, you Sophie.
03:13How are you?
03:13How are you?
03:14I'm good, thank you.
03:16Do you want some for the drink?
03:16Yeah, definitely.
03:18Hello.
03:18Hello.
03:19Do you do, erm, mojito?
03:21We do.
03:22Bit nervous?
03:23A little bit.
03:24I never go on dates, that's why.
03:27It's my first date.
03:28First date ever?
03:29Ever, probably.
03:30Wow, he must be more nervous than me.
03:32A little bit.
03:33I do tend to attract a certain guy.
03:36Just because I do, you know, look like this, take pride in what I wear and how I look.
03:41It's got nothing to do with how intelligent I am.
03:44I'm just looking for a guy to accept me for who I am, the real Sophie.
03:50What would be your dream date?
03:52Dream date?
03:52I don't know.
03:53I'm not too sure.
03:54I'll let you have a little think about it.
03:58This is my dream date.
03:59This is my dream date.
04:00Okay.
04:00Good answer.
04:01Good answer.
04:03Where do you live?
04:04Battersea.
04:05Is Battersea in London?
04:07Do you know, like, it's near Chelsea.
04:09Oh, God, mate in Chelsea and Towie put together.
04:12No.
04:12Oh, yeah.
04:13It would be a disaster.
04:19I work in a lab making a vaccine.
04:21Now, that's very interesting, is it not?
04:23Four chickens.
04:26No, I've never been on a date.
04:28Never once in your life?
04:31Not really.
04:33I think the closest I've had is I went to McDonald's with a girl that I worked with at lunchtime
04:42once.
04:54Good afternoon.
04:55Hi.
04:55My name is Daniel.
04:56I'm here to see Abigail.
04:58Data processor Daniel has travelled from Aberystwyth for his date.
05:05It's something I'm missing out on.
05:08Companionship, just somebody to share things with, somebody to be around, somebody that's
05:13not my mum.
05:22Hi.
05:23How are you?
05:24I'm here to meet Daniel.
05:25I'm here to meet Daniel.
05:26Welcome, you ladies.
05:26He's meeting 31-year-old trainee accountant, Abi.
05:32Hi.
05:33Hi.
05:34Hi.
05:34Nice to meet you.
05:35Nice to meet you.
05:37How are you?
05:37I'm good, thank you.
05:39How are you?
05:40Terrified.
05:41Beautiful.
05:46So, what do we do now?
05:48Would you like a drink?
05:48I'd love a drink.
05:50Please.
05:57How are you?
05:59I'm good, yes.
06:04So, it's a lovely weekend.
06:07It is.
06:08It's very, very beautiful.
06:10Yeah.
06:16I had a house rabbit.
06:17You had a rabbit?
06:18Put it in the garden and left it in a little run and a fox got it.
06:22All I've found is headless.
06:25Oh, them foxes, they're cunning, aren't they?
06:34Oh, thank you.
06:35That's quick.
06:37Cheers, mate.
06:38What are your parents like?
06:39Are they quite, like, laid back?
06:42My dad is.
06:43Mum's a bit fussy, a bit picky.
06:47Is she?
06:47I don't know.
06:48I'm sure she'll think you're a lovely girl if you get so that's teach.
06:51All right, calm down.
06:54My mum's pretty cool.
06:55She's just like me, really.
06:56Yeah.
06:56We're more like best friends.
06:58She's quite a young mum.
06:59She's a milk, mate.
07:00She's a milk.
07:01Help me up.
07:03My dad's cool as well.
07:05Although, he has got a shotgun.
07:06He does do shooting.
07:08I'll warn you.
07:10Right.
07:10Okay, cool.
07:11They remind me never to go to Colchester, right?
07:15What's the nuttiest thing you've ever done?
07:17Oh, God.
07:17Do you know what?
07:18It's so embarrassing.
07:18I can't tell you that.
07:20Come on.
07:22Plaster-casted my friend's vagina.
07:25You're what?
07:25Sorry?
07:26Well, I just got home from work one day and she was sitting there in the living room.
07:30Right.
07:30Trying to plaster-cast her own mini.
07:33So, I did it for her.
07:35And I've done my own boobs.
07:36Hey.
07:38That's...
07:39That's nice.
07:41I had to do a shot of my own cum.
07:43No.
07:44Do it.
07:46Yeah.
07:47Oh, that's not too good.
07:49Yeah, that's not the best.
07:50I know what the problem is.
07:51We're just going out, having fun, getting a girl back, and sleeping with her, and then,
07:54see ya, you're gone.
07:55And I let my friend pierce my tongue as well.
07:58How's that?
07:59Kneel for your tongue?
08:00Yeah.
08:00Well, probably pulled about 25 to 30.
08:07Yeah, in the last... yeah.
08:10One of my mates had to, like, stable his balls, and then we had to, like, pick it out.
08:14Did he not have to go to a hospital or anything?
08:16No.
08:16We just picked it out with, like, tweezers.
08:24Hi.
08:24Everybody's ready.
08:25Mum.
08:29I have a six-year-old son, and I'm a single mum.
08:33Lovely.
08:35I've just concentrated on him, but I think it's time to go out and meet new people.
08:42Thank you very much.
08:45I'm ready to start dating again.
08:54So...
08:55If I was making wishes, I'd just be able to think of something interesting to say.
09:09I'm not asking to suddenly become Superman.
09:15Where's the nearest Marks and Spencers to you?
09:22Everyone in this restaurant is on a first date.
09:26And it's Daniel's first date ever.
09:30What do you normally talk about on dates?
09:39Oh, Eugene.
09:41I don't know.
09:41What would you like to get to know about me?
09:45Um...
09:46I don't know.
09:53I've had a heart transplant.
09:55Mm.
09:57OK, wow.
09:59When was that?
10:01Uh, 21 years ago.
10:02Uh, 21 years ago.
10:03Wow.
10:05How's that affected you?
10:08Well, it means I'm not dead, which I would have been if I hadn't had it.
10:13So has that made you feel not confident to date people?
10:17Because I was so ill for so long.
10:21I think I was mollycoddled.
10:22I know I was mollycoddled.
10:24So when everybody else was going out, having fun, I couldn't do that as much.
10:29You had to look after him.
10:31I think that's weakened my confidence.
10:37Quite embarrassing.
10:39I mean, everybody knew that our transplant had been in the local papers.
10:45It did make me stand out, but not in a cool, sexy way.
10:51So do you have any big revelations?
10:54Not really.
11:06You can't pay.
11:07Why?
11:09Because that wouldn't be date-like, would it?
11:12Let me just see how much it is.
11:14Well, because I just want to know.
11:16Tell you on the second day.
11:17That's very...on the second day.
11:20I like the sound of that.
11:26Right?
11:27Hello.
11:32What did you say?
11:33What did you say?
11:34Alright, what did you say?
11:36I think the day went well.
11:37Yeah, I do, yeah.
11:39She's lovely.
11:47Oh, my God.
11:48I feel like I'm 10 at school.
11:49I know, it's ridiculous, isn't it?
11:50And I'm being asked to kiss someone on the playground.
11:52I'm not going to kiss you on the cheek, though, because that's just, that's a bit like...
11:55What do you mean you're not going to kiss you on the cheek?
11:57Well, I'm not going to snog you.
11:58No, that's my cheek.
11:59Right, but I've just got to kiss you on the lips.
12:07So, what do you do?
12:08Do you work?
12:10Yeah, work.
12:10I just work in, like, a call centre.
12:12Cool.
12:13It's very boring.
12:14Don't want to talk about that.
12:19Right, I need to go to the toilet.
12:21It'll be one minute.
12:40OMG.
12:42Hello.
12:44No, no, no.
12:46He doesn't know.
12:47All I've said is that I work in the call centre, so...
12:52If I'm on a date with someone and it's going well,
12:55I don't tend to tell guys straight away what I do,
12:59because they think someone that does glamour modelling
13:03is not capable of a relationship, which is ridiculous.
13:08It's just so they can get to know me without being judged.
13:11Yeah, do you know what?
13:12It's going really well.
13:14Yeah, he's really nice.
13:16He's quite funny.
13:17So, we'll see how it goes.
13:19OK.
13:20Bye-bye.
13:21Bye-bye-bye.
13:31OK.
13:33Um...
13:34Have you ever been abroad?
13:35Have you been on any holidays?
13:37Have you ever been in New York?
13:38My...
13:38My mum lives in Spain, so I tend to...
13:41That's where I tend to holiday a lot of the moment.
13:44I've been to Ibiza.
13:46Yeah.
13:46Have you seen my profile picture?
13:48That was in Ibiza.
13:50Mm-hmm.
13:51In a nightclub, an Ibiza, in a tuxedo.
13:55Which was a stupid idea.
13:58I thought I'd look like James Bond.
14:00Right.
14:01I thought all the girls would love it.
14:02Right.
14:03Girls, not so interested.
14:05Right.
14:06Some of the guys, they loved it.
14:08Really?
14:08Yeah.
14:12I don't understand why he hasn't been able to meet someone
14:16to go on a date with.
14:18What is a burnt cream?
14:20I don't know.
14:21OK.
14:21I was hoping you might tell me.
14:23No.
14:25I think maybe I'm feeling a bit more confident than I was,
14:30because I've done that the first time.
14:34I haven't got all chocolate round my face, have I?
14:36No, you're just fabulous.
14:38Have I got ice cream?
14:41I had a good time, so I hope he did, too.
14:50Right.
14:51It's been a pleasure.
14:52Please lead the way.
14:58Hi.
14:59Hi.
14:59Hi.
15:04Well, um, what do you think?
15:08I think it went...
15:09It was a funny evening.
15:12We love you, Nick.
15:13Take it.
15:14Bye-bye.
15:15But I'm not sure there's...
15:19anything else there.
15:20I agree.
15:27Sorry.
15:29Sorry.
15:34What shall I have?
15:35I'll have...
15:37What do you like?
15:38Vodka or gin or...?
15:39I don't like gin.
15:40Yeah.
15:43Um...
15:45What are you drinking?
15:47Water.
15:47Why?
15:48Do you not drink?
15:49No, I do drink.
15:52No, well, it is.
15:53I've got a...
15:53I'm a performer and I've got a gig tonight.
15:56Oh, have you?
15:56And, um, yeah, I'm going to kind of, like,
15:58not drink alcohol to all that later on.
16:00Fair enough.
16:03Education professional Angela has struggled to find the right man.
16:06Oh, by the way, I haven't said it, but you look really amazing, by the way.
16:10Thank you very much.
16:10Yeah, you look lovely.
16:11You're very beautiful as well.
16:13Oh, thank you.
16:15Her date tonight is 40-year-old Hank.
16:18Last weekend, I was invited to a 40th birthday party
16:23and everybody was in couples.
16:25Everyone was ridiculous.
16:27I kept having people ask me, you know, why are you by yourself?
16:30Why don't you have someone?
16:31I'm like, someone like who?
16:34Everybody's ready.
16:34OK.
16:35Thanks for me.
16:36Oh, yes, please.
16:40Is that all your stuff in there for tonight?
16:42I've got some stuff in here for tonight.
16:44I've got my songs and I've got, um...
16:45Do you sing?
16:46Well, what it is, I'll tell you about what I do.
16:49Um, it's a mixture.
16:49Well, the short version or the long version?
16:57Oh, these are comfortable chairs.
16:59I'm so glad.
17:00Yeah.
17:00Yeah.
17:02So, Hank.
17:03Where did your name come from?
17:05Because I'll tell you now, I've never met anyone called Hank.
17:07I've never said the word Hank.
17:10Oh, there you go.
17:11And when I was talking about your, about your name,
17:14I was saying Hank, Wonk, Inkerchief, Hanky.
17:18Is it a name from a different country?
17:21Um, does it have a meaning?
17:22Does it interpret?
17:23Does it mean something?
17:24Is there a significance?
17:25Are you in disguise?
17:27Who is Hank?
17:30Hello.
17:31Yes?
17:31Well, thank you so much.
17:32Can we put the air conditioning up a bit more?
17:35Because I'm really hot.
17:37Please.
17:40I'm wearing this play suit.
17:42I'm not joking.
17:43I didn't realise there was such a thing as an adult play suit.
17:46Well, that's what they call it in fashion.
17:48Where did you acquire it from?
17:49From a boutique.
17:51Okay.
17:52I like things that nobody else has.
17:54No.
17:55I'm stuck to this chair.
17:56It's not even funny.
17:58I'm getting plastic burns.
17:59I feel as if I'm wearing my underpants.
18:01Ridiculous.
18:02I could go to A&E if this carries on.
18:05I'm not joking.
18:06I'm going to have to sit on a napkin.
18:15It's alright though?
18:16Yes.
18:18Wow, okay.
18:33Doesn't it taste like?
18:34Oh, you know what that tastes like?
18:35I don't think you know.
18:36Oh, no!
18:40We'll put the semen to the side.
18:43I don't want any more of that.
18:45It's just a shame, like, that you have to tell a little white lie for someone to get to
18:52know you.
18:53I think these days people judge very easily and I didn't want that to happen.
18:58I hate, like, the typical Essex look.
19:02I know it's weird, like, because I'm from Essex, but I don't think, like, you can have
19:06a relationship with someone like that.
19:08You can tell her a bit.
19:09At all.
19:10They're going to do something.
19:11Do you know what I mean?
19:11Like, they're players.
19:12And that's all you get in the area that I'm in.
19:15Yeah.
19:16So...
19:16You just get players?
19:18I get players.
19:20But I can sniff them a mile off, shall I mean?
19:24I hope I don't just feel like a player.
19:28I think she's nice.
19:29I think she's nice.
19:30She's a nice girl.
19:31I reckon you've had a fair few women.
19:35I'm all right.
19:36I don't really get girls that much.
19:38It's okay.
19:41Well, I wouldn't want to tell a girl I first met how many girls I've slept with,
19:44because they judge me straight away.
19:46I don't want to lie.
19:48Then again, I don't want to tell her the truth at the same time.
19:50So I kind of just shrugged it off.
19:52So I kind of got away with that one.
19:54This is my theory.
19:55Right.
19:56It's going to sound well weird.
19:57Go on, Em.
19:57Hit me.
19:58Right.
19:58When you're really hungover, yeah?
20:01Do you ever lay in bed and you're like,
20:02oh, my eyes hurt so bad?
20:04Yeah.
20:04You know when your eyes are really heavy?
20:06Yeah.
20:06What if you had a little tank of starfish?
20:09What?
20:11You could get one out, a little two starfish, and put them on your eyes.
20:14I'd just chill.
20:15I've always wanted to do that.
20:16Have you actually?
20:17Yeah, no.
20:18When you come to Leeds, you'll buy some starfish.
20:21We're going to put some starfish on our eyes.
20:23It's a dream.
20:23It's a dream.
20:24Definitely.
20:25You have to promise me you'll come to Leeds and try it.
20:26I promise.
20:27A pinky promise.
20:28Oh, all right.
20:29We'll see that.
20:30We'll see.
20:30We'll see about that.
20:31I always keep my pinky.
20:33Right, okay.
20:34We'll see about that.
20:35We're all right.
20:36We're good.
20:36Yeah.
20:37I think it went really well.
20:39Time flew by, didn't it?
20:40Yeah.
20:42Cheers.
20:42Do you want the rest of your day?
20:44Cheers, thanks.
20:46Take care.
20:46Bye.
20:47Cheers, bye.
20:47She's coming up to Leeds.
20:49I did pinky promise.
20:50Right, you need to.
20:51She's definitely coming up to Leeds.
20:52I pinky promised that I'd come up to Leeds.
20:55Me and the girls are going to have a road trip up.
20:57And we can have some crazy nights out together, aren't we?
21:00It's going to be at least that.
21:02Yeah.
21:03From there, we'll see.
21:04And then we'll see.
21:05It's going to be at least a few nights out.
21:07A few minimal nights.
21:09A bit more, maybe.
21:10A bit more, maybe?
21:11Yeah, I know.
21:14Bad.
21:16Right, before we go anywhere, give me a number.
21:19OK.
21:20All right, forward.
21:21Obviously.
21:22Give me your number.
21:23Oh, sorry.
21:24Four.
21:25One.
21:33Two.
21:38Two.
21:40Three.
21:41One.
21:41Four.
21:42Three.
21:46One.
21:46One.
21:46Two.
21:47Two.
21:48Four.
21:49Three.
21:51Two.
21:53Two.
21:53to really have that kind of sense of feeling actually comfortable
21:58and not constantly thinking about,
22:00oh, God, I'm 4'11", this has completely ruined my life.
22:03So where'd you come from?
22:05I asked you this question because you have a kind of a biblical face.
22:11People think I'm Turkish because I've got that kind of swarthy, dark look,
22:14olive-skinned, but I'm English and I'm Jewish.
22:17Ah, OK.
22:21I used to get bullied.
22:24I can imagine.
22:25Did you get bullied because of your height?
22:27Yeah.
22:28Yeah, I can imagine.
22:29Also, being Jewish as well, I used to get bullied because of that.
22:31Was it like being black?
22:33Yeah, a bit like being black, really.
22:35Generally, girls don't seem to go for really short guys.
22:39I'm just going to go to the ladies.
22:41OK.
22:41It might be a sec.
22:42I'll sit here and look awkward.
22:45But I would definitely like to meet someone and have a proper relationship.
22:59MUSIC CONTINUES
23:00Excuse me.
23:02You know the thing you just took away?
23:05She's sitting on that because her legs are sticking to the chair.
23:09MUSIC CONTINUES
23:20Have they gone that long?
23:22Yeah, you were.
23:23It's the outfit.
23:25I have to...
23:25Oh, OK.
23:26Were you doing...
23:27Were you phoning a friend?
23:28Saying, I hate Hank.
23:30I don't normally do this, but for the sake of this conversation...
23:34I'm going to show you the interior of my back.
23:39Can I put your hand in there?
23:46Can you feel a phone?
23:48No.
23:58Hello, sir.
23:59Good afternoon.
23:59Carl.
24:01I meet a lot of girls, but the ones that I actually like...
24:04and I want to go on a date with...
24:06they look at me and go, he's a player.
24:09Nice lighting.
24:11Stiffin.
24:1436-year-old electrician Carl is hoping for a change of fortune in the dating game.
24:19And I don't even get a look and I'm like, well, hold on a second, let's go on a date.
24:22And they're like, mm-mm.
24:26They look at my hair and go, oh, a little bit, it takes you ages to do your hair.
24:30Or you've got tattoos, look at you, you think...
24:32And literally, it takes me 20 minutes to get ready to go back.
24:41MUSIC CONTINUES
24:42Carl's date is 26-year-old insurance executive Amanda from Liverpool.
24:48Do you do Prosecco at all?
24:50You do.
24:54Good afternoon.
24:55Hiya, I'm here to see Carl.
24:59Your guest is waiting at the bar?
25:01Oh, brilliant, thank you.
25:03Perfect type, perfect type.
25:05Hiya.
25:06Hello, Amanda.
25:07How are you doing?
25:08Really well, thank you.
25:09How are you?
25:09I'm good, I'm good, I'm good.
25:11I've got to show you what I want to say, isn't it?
25:13Can I have a rosé, please?
25:16And please, my, I have a vodka as well, number one, please.
25:20How nice is that one?
25:21It's absolutely stunning outside, it's gorgeous.
25:24You've been drinking all day?
25:25No.
25:25Are you sure?
25:26Of course.
25:26Don't I look like I have?
25:27No.
25:28You just look really tanned.
25:29Really tanned?
25:30Mm-hmm.
25:32She's trying to say...
25:34I'm really joking.
25:35No, I know, I know.
25:36How old are you?
25:38Is that a naughty question?
25:39I don't know.
25:40How old goes that old, then?
25:4330-ish.
25:45Or how old are you?
25:4636.
25:4736.
25:47That was a good guess, then.
25:49And you?
25:49I'm 26.
25:51Yeah.
25:51It's like 10 years living.
25:52Oh!
25:53Is that bad?
25:54No, it's fine.
26:04So, are you in love with me, then?
26:06No.
26:08Do you not find me amazingly wonderful company to be with?
26:14Am I not your dream man?
26:17No?
26:20You're being facetious, aren't you?
26:22No.
26:23What I was doing, right, was, in an indirect way, trying to find out whether you would like
26:30to go on a second date with me.
26:34How does asking me if I'm in love with you...
26:36I was doing it in a kind of sarcastic fashion.
26:48So, I'm not a complete flop, then, date-wise.
26:53If she's interested, I would definitely pursue it.
26:57Yeah.
26:58I think it's in her...
26:59I think the ball's in her court, really.
27:02I get it.
27:03Thank you so much for being speaking for me.
27:05That's all right.
27:07I didn't go...
27:09I didn't make that noise.
27:12But I did enjoy his company.
27:14After you.
27:21Hello.
27:22Hello.
27:26You all right?
27:27I'm fine, are you?
27:29Yeah.
27:29Good, I'm good, thank you.
27:33Hank's an interesting individual.
27:34I've never met anyone like him before.
27:36I've never socialised with anyone like him before.
27:39And it's not just because he's small.
27:41It's got nothing to do with it any more than it has to do with me being black.
27:45Right, well, should we sit in the sun for a bit?
27:47Okay, do it, I suppose.
27:48I can't say yay or nay right now.
27:52I'm still mulling it over.
27:54Okay, that means no, so...
28:01I have a phobia, by the way.
28:03You have what?
28:04A massive phobia.
28:05Of what?
28:05Cats and dogs.
28:06So you've never had cats and dogs as pets?
28:09I'm African, babe.
28:11We have pets on our plates.
28:17Do you ever go to the pub?
28:19No, unless I'm invited.
28:20No, what?
28:21No, unless I'm invited.
28:22Oh, okay.
28:25That is so sweet.
28:27Anyway.
28:36I think all of my friends would like me to get up with friends.
28:39Every time we go out, they're trying to set me up with someone.
28:41Are we doing well, I think?
28:43Mm-hmm.
28:43When boys approach me, I just think that they're just a friend.
28:46When they do ask me out, I always say no, so...
28:49I'm getting cats, aren't I?
28:52Single forever.
28:54Do you ever tie?
28:56Really cliche, like tall, dark, and handsome is normally what catches my eye.
29:00I'm totally out of tall, dark, and handsome.
29:02You are?
29:03I'm totally out of it.
29:04No, you're not.
29:05You're dark-ish, tall-ish, and handsome-ish-ish.
29:09Well, I hope I'm not fucking too bad, you know?
29:12Jesus.
29:13You're not bad.
29:14You took longer doing your hair than I have doing mine.
29:16No, but that's the thing.
29:17That's exactly what I mean, right?
29:19And this is totally exactly what everybody always says.
29:21It takes me 20 minutes to get ready.
29:23I swear my life.
29:2420 minutes for hair.
29:26No, for everything.
29:27And this is the problem.
29:28You see, whenever I meet someone, everyone's like,
29:30Oh, look at you.
29:31I think you...
29:32I bet you take ages to do your hair, and you do this, you do that.
29:34That's a compliment, though.
29:35It just means that you're well-groomed.
29:36That's a compliment.
29:37No, no, no, but it doesn't.
29:39I swear to you, it takes me 20 minutes to get ready.
29:47I'm going to go to the toilet now.
29:48OK.
30:09Jesus.
30:32Can we fix him in the house again?
30:34What?
30:34Can we fix him in the house again?
30:38See, two minutes.
30:45It's very read to me, African with a pet, babe.
30:48Is it?
30:48Unless they're just grooming it, like, kill it in the garden.
30:53Definitely feel less nervous this time.
30:55Oh, yeah?
30:56Yeah.
30:5828-year-old financial headhunter Philip had an unsuccessful date last week.
31:03I'll probably shit myself when she walks in, though, so...
31:06Tonight, he's trying again.
31:08Not literally, that would be awful.
31:10I've been told by friends that I'm like a Hugh Grant, but with a naughty side, minus the prostitute, obviously.
31:20Good evening.
31:20Hi.
31:21How are you?
31:21I'm Sarah.
31:22I've got a reservation with Philip.
31:28Just waiting for you over there.
31:30Hi.
31:30Sarah, yes?
31:31Nice to meet you.
31:32How's it going?
31:32How's it going?
31:34You're very tanned.
31:35Are you?
31:35I know.
31:35I've been set out in the sun all day.
31:36Have you?
31:37I have.
31:38I think I've got, like, sunburn.
31:39Super tanned.
31:40Yeah.
31:41Philip's date is 28-year-old PR high-flyer Sarah.
31:44She's one of over 500 women who applied to date him after seeing him on last week's programme.
31:50Cheers.
31:51Cheers.
31:51Lovely to meet you.
31:56I spent a lot of time in my early 20s furthering my career, but now I'm 28, I'm 29, actually.
32:03I feel like it's probably time to kind of take a little step back, see where I am, and maybe
32:07try and meet a nice guy.
32:08Whereabouts are you from?
32:10So my mum says I'm from Essex.
32:11My dad lives in Swindon.
32:13My dad's now remarried.
32:14A Thai lady.
32:15So a Thai lady?
32:16Oh.
32:17Oh, that's racist.
32:18You can judge all you want.
32:19It's fine.
32:19It's a great massage.
32:21Yeah.
32:21Sorry, that sounded weird.
32:23Well done.
32:25All right.
32:25So he's really good.
32:26Thank you so much.
32:27After you, please.
32:34So, you know, so you applied.
32:38You must be slightly batshit mental, no?
32:41You think I'm batshit mental?
32:43So apply.
32:43I'm not batshit mental.
32:45FYI.
32:47You know when you have those moments where you just like, I want to be, I'm just going to do
32:50something random.
32:51Yeah.
32:52Trust me.
32:55You're so cute.
32:58Can you eat pudding sexy?
33:01Like, give me your sexiest.
33:03Hey, you go first, by the way.
33:07That's not bad.
33:09Mm-hmm.
33:09Oh.
33:10Is this part, it's one of your key skills, eh?
33:12Because otherwise I'm going to do it.
33:13Eating pudding sexy.
33:18I didn't know.
33:25I was in hook, line and zinger.
33:27I only went the whole way.
33:29That's what you're getting.
33:30That's what you're getting.
33:31Okay.
33:32The rest is X-rated.
33:33For now.
33:34For now.
33:36Sorry.
33:36Sorry.
33:38That's awkward.
33:38Mmm.
33:39Yeah, I think he's cute.
33:40I like him.
33:41Yeah, I do.
33:41I think he's cute.
33:42I do think he's attractive, definitely.
33:45Out of ten, definitely give her one.
33:49I'm sorry.
33:50Yeah.
33:50Yeah.
33:55Hi.
33:56Hello.
33:58Uh.
34:00I had a great time.
34:02I had a good night.
34:03Yeah, good.
34:04Me too.
34:06I would...
34:07like to see her again.
34:09Is that...
34:09it's quite punchy.
34:11Pretty punchy.
34:12Good stuff.
34:14You're very kind.
34:15You're welcome.
34:16I had fun.
34:17You'd like to see me again?
34:19If you invite me somewhere really good,
34:21I'll probably come.
34:22Thank you very much.
34:24See you, pal.
34:24Take care.
34:26Thanks, buddy.
34:41I can't put my finger on what it is about her I fancy.
34:47I think what came across was obviously she was a challenge.
34:50I am actually very optimistic about my next date.
34:54I'll go in there tonight and I'll charm her.
34:56Very good looking.
34:56Very good match.
34:58Fancyed him straight away.
34:59I'd just be my usual cheeky self, smiling, gentleman.
35:03At the end of it, I do want a boyfriend,
35:05so hopefully he sees me as good girlfriend material.
35:09When you turn up, you think,
35:11are we gonna get on?
35:12Or am I gonna get laid?
35:17Do you normally drink vodka or do you drink saka or what?
35:19Well, basically, I normally drink a lot of vodka.
35:21A lot of vodka?
35:22A lot of vodka?
35:23I can only drink doubles.
35:25Carl and Amanda are nearly an hour into their first date.
35:29You're gonna be drunk tonight?
35:30No, I can drink quite a lot.
35:32Really?
35:35No, I'm fine.
35:36You're okay?
35:37You're fine.
35:37You're fine.
35:38I know you're one saying.
35:39Yes, please.
35:40Yes, please.
35:42Fill me up by the cup.
35:45Don't break my heart.
35:49A lot of people go,
35:50oh, you're always out drinking and that is...
35:52But I'm only out drinking because I'm socialising.
35:54You're gonna be so hungry tonight, aren't you?
35:56That was last night.
35:57Was you drunk last night?
35:59I was like, Jesus.
36:00I was.
36:01Have you got a hangover today?
36:02Have you come in with a hangover?
36:05That is so bad.
36:06I definitely want to calm it down a little bit, you know,
36:10to meet someone but not sort of, like, blank it off
36:12because then that would change...
36:13That's not me then.
36:14I am a fun person and that would be totally changing me.
36:22You're absolutely so, like, very nice, chilled
36:25and easy to talk to, which is good.
36:28Thank you very much.
36:28That's a really nice compliment.
36:30Yeah, but, I mean, I'm just saying how it is.
36:32He has had quite a few to drink, yeah.
36:36I think I liked him.
36:37I think I preferred him a lot more when I first walked in.
36:40Would it be nice if he would have asked more questions about me
36:42maybe and wanted to know more about me?
36:44And do you know what?
36:45I haven't been, like, uncomfortable or, like, awkward
36:48in any sort of way.
36:50Yeah.
36:51I've had nice Prosecco and good company, so it's good.
36:56Hi.
36:57Bonjour.
37:04So, all right, just tell me, what don't you like about me?
37:07Oh, I think you're lovely.
37:08But...
37:08There's just no...
37:09There's no...
37:09I've got no butterflies in my stomach or nothing.
37:13Spicy.
37:13Very spicy.
37:14Do you not find me sexy?
37:16Just...
37:16Stop making me answer that, please.
37:18Yeah.
37:19It's an honest answer.
37:20I don't know.
37:21I just don't like...
37:22There's just something that's not there.
37:24Are you going this way?
37:26You can't go there.
37:27You're very beautiful.
37:30Amazing personality.
37:30But, for me personally, I have a really stupid sense of...
37:38I like a small bum.
37:50This is gonna be good.
37:52Tamsin's eager to meet the man she's chosen
37:55from everyone who went online to apply to date her.
37:59My mum, she definitely, you know, wants to see me meet a nice guy,
38:03wants to see me sort of settle down, get married, fall in love,
38:07but she thinks, you know, you've got to find that perfect prince.
38:15Hello, mate.
38:16I'm Phil.
38:2229-year-old data controller, Phil, could just be Tamsin's Prince Charming.
38:30She's still awake.
38:31Oh, right.
38:31Here first.
38:33Hi.
38:33Lovely Tamsin.
38:34How are you?
38:35Nice to meet you.
38:36Good to see you.
38:38Good to see you on the cocktails already.
38:40You look lovely tonight, by the way.
38:42Hi.
38:42Very summery.
38:44This is so hot out there.
38:45At least she didn't turn up in shorts.
38:47What had you done if I turned up in a vest?
38:50Like a wife beat a vest.
38:51A wife beat her.
38:51Like, all right, how you doing?
38:53Hello, mate.
38:54How's it?
38:55How's it?
38:56All my friends are settling down.
38:58I'm getting left behind.
38:59If I do meet the one, and they take me beyond day two or day three,
39:05then who knows?
39:06Love could be just round the corner.
39:08I'm curious.
39:09Why did you pick me?
39:10Why is I pick you?
39:11When I saw your photo, you were definitely by a mile number one.
39:16Yes.
39:18So, how long have you been single then?
39:21About two years.
39:24What could you ask?
39:25I'm very fussy.
39:26Yeah.
39:27Touche.
39:29I have, like, a checklist.
39:31Yeah.
39:32So, you have a checklist as well?
39:34It's, like, there, and then on the back of the page, and then it goes on.
39:37Even longer than my checklist.
39:39I don't know.
39:40We can compare.
39:44Right, I might just go to the lid.
39:50Hey.
39:51He's going really well.
39:53He's very good-looking.
39:54He's definitely, like, my type.
39:57Hello, mate.
39:58I'm here.
39:58I'm sat at the dinner table.
39:59She's gone in the toilet at the moment.
40:01Yeah.
40:01I think it's looking quite positive at the moment.
40:05She does talk very posh, but it kind of does it for me for a bit.
40:10I don't know why.
40:12I've not been excited on the first date for ages, so, yeah.
40:17She's not the typical girl I'd normally go for, but, you know, I'm just going to roll
40:22with it and see what happens.
40:23First time for a long time, I've been like, yes.
40:36Nice to meet you.
40:38Sorry.
40:39Bye-bye.
40:39Bye, thank you.
40:40You want some chocolate?
40:41Oh, thank you.
40:4331-year-old support worker Kirk took a shine to Leon after seeing him on last week's show.
40:49I thought he was really cute.
40:51I like his, he's got nice teeth, and he's a nice-looking guy.
40:54I've been single for the past four and a half, nearly five years now, and it's nerve-wracking
41:00going on, like, first date with someone that you don't even know.
41:04Yeah.
41:04I've never really been loved, to be honest, but I know, I've had, I've been, I've been
41:07feeling somebody.
41:08He's never been in love.
41:09Never been in love with a guy.
41:10Serious.
41:10Oh my gosh.
41:12Last week, put a smile on my face a little, on the back.
41:15Just like, yeah.
41:17Leon's getting his little groove back.
41:19Yeah.
41:21Have you tried ghost cheese before?
41:23No.
41:26Whoops.
41:32It's one of them cheeses that makes your face go funny.
41:38It's like you're biting into a lemon, and it's good.
41:42I get a good vibe, if that makes sense.
41:45That's good.
41:45I don't know what it is, because it's not the chocolates, because the chocolates is sweet.
41:51Cheers.
41:53Yeah, we're going to see each other again.
41:55I'm going to see.
41:56But, obviously, it's the first date, so it's, you know.
41:59You never know.
42:05So, what's your longest relationship, then?
42:13Two years, but for about a year of it, it wasn't very good.
42:18After a year, he cheated on me.
42:21Nice fella, then.
42:23Are you ready to settle down now, or...?
42:26I don't know.
42:27Settling down is quite a scary term.
42:30Well, you're, what, 31 on?
42:31Yeah, I'm 31.
42:34I just want to meet someone that I really like.
42:36When you go out and date, do you sort of date people at the same time?
42:40Do you, like, toy them along a bit?
42:45I normally have about one date a week, on average.
42:49I think you need to keep the momentum going.
42:53You know, you've got to have something to look forward to or get excited about.
42:55You get the buzz, don't you?
42:57Would you class yourself as a bit of a player, then?
43:00I think there's a difference between being someone that goes on a lot of dates and someone that's a bit
43:07of a player.
43:09I reckon you could be a bit of a player.
43:24But I don't think she would get past three or four dates.
43:27You know, I want to be in a position where people are like,
43:29Oh, who are you going out with?
43:30And you show them a photo, or you, like, introduce them, and they'll be like,
43:33He looks, he's pretty cool.
43:35Yeah.
43:36A trophy.
43:43What?
43:44You're right.
43:45Come here often.
43:51Well, I actually fancy you, Sue.
43:55Right.
43:57This is a good start, right?
44:04This is going to be awkward.
44:07You're a lovely girl, but...
44:11Do I not tick your boxes?
44:12You tick a lot of boxes.
44:15Fine.
44:15No joke, I had an absolute brilliant night.
44:18But...
44:20I don't know.
44:21I still think there's a little bit of a player side to you.
44:26Me?
44:27Cheers, thank you.
44:28Bye.
44:33I'm a bit gutted that you said what you have.
44:39I'm just being honest.
44:40It's what I feel.
44:43I think you're wrong.
44:50Not everyone finds their perfect match in the first date's restaurant.
44:54So some daters will be back next week to try for a second chance at love.
44:58It could be with you.
45:01That's awful.
45:02I can't walk with these shoes.
45:05Tonight was my very, very first date ever.
45:09And I think it went well.
45:11Hi, my name is Juliet.
45:13I'm original from China and have been living in London since 2002.
45:17I'd like another chance.
45:19So if you're interested, if you think maybe we can have something, get in touch.
45:25I'm looking for someone intelligent, smart and good looking and, yeah, likes me.
45:31That's more important, yes.
45:33Give them a call.
45:35I'm happy to come back.
45:36I think I'm a very good catch.
45:38Perfect.
