01:50love to. Brilliant. I'd be honoured. Thanks, man. You're very welcome. Thank you. My parents
01:55are both romantic. But the relationship with my mum, when it comes to dating and love, it's
02:01really special. You're chic, yeah? Yes, I'll have my vest. You have my fuda. There's no coranda
02:08in the restaurant. No. I mean, when I was 16, my mum gave me my first condom. I brought my
02:17mum. What a mum would be today. We brought each other, darling. Why not? It isn't just
02:24Fred whose mum takes an interest in his love life. This is 26-year-old electrician Jordan
02:31and his mum, Kelly. Why not go on a date with your son? What could possibly go wrong? God,

02:51his mum. So, is it bring your mum to date? Oh, you're on a double date? Yeah. Double date.
02:58I'm single. If my mother was alive, that would have happened. Really? She would totally have
03:05been into that. She would have signed us both up and been like, that'll be fun. Like,
03:10not well. God, I can't imagine anything worse. Thank you. Hello. Hi. How are you? We're
03:20good, thank you. How are you? Nice. Good. So, you're clearly, what are you, your, your
03:23friends? Mother and son. Wow. That's different. It's something new. You look terrified.

03:49go
03:50to parties together. Cheers, George. Is your mum coming out tonight? Yeah. Like, yeah, but
03:56she's going to be in bed by ten. Maybe, maybe nine, if you're lucky. So, whose idea was
04:01it? So, you discussed this beforehand, and you went, why don't I do it too? I do want
04:06to find someone as well, so. Nice. I need someone to take them off my hands. I'm not old.
04:12I'm only 26, but all of my friends are, like, I've had kids, or they've been with someone for
04:17years. I would say, like, it's getting pressing now. Like, so single. It hurts. And so, what
04:24kind of girl do you think Jordan needs? Definitely outgoing and fun. I go off of the energy. Some
04:31people have good energy, and you're like, you know what? You're going to be looking out
04:35for that, obviously. You are. Is that really bad? Yeah. Yeah. Let's do this. This is 20-year-old
04:44Amy, and she's bringing big date energy. My family would probably describe me as a little
04:53bit crazy. I'm down for anything and everything. I would describe myself as the embodiment of
05:02organized chaos. Hi. I love your hair. You look like a Viking. Thank you so much. I've never
05:10been in a serious relationship. Like, never, ever. I seem to attract all the wrong people.
05:17My whole dating history is horrific. It's just dating horror stories. But I'm going to
05:25remain open-minded and just go for it. I don't know where to put my energy. I don't know where
05:31to funnel it. I feel like a volcano. Tell me, what are you doing for leaving? I'm a student
05:37at the moment in Bristol. I'm studying forensic science. Are you? Yeah. I'm book smart, not
05:44life smart. Are you ready for your date? Yes, I am. I am. I am. Is he here? Yes, he
05:49is.
05:49Is he? Okay. I would like a tall guy. I love a bit of facial hair. I typically go for
05:56blondes,
05:57but nothing's really a deal breaker. Here we are. Hi. Hiya. Hi. Amy, nice to meet you.
06:05Jordan. Nice to meet you, Jordan. How are you? You all right? Yeah, I'm so good. How
06:09are you? Good. Hi, how are you? Hi, I'm so good. How are you? What's your name? Sorry.
06:15Kelly. Hi, nice to meet you, Kelly. Amy. Hi, Amy. Did he say this is my mum? I don't
06:24think so. My mum will give me a bit of wingman in and a bit of backup. And likewise, I
06:30could
06:30do the same for you. You never listen to me anyway, though. No, I do. What's the dynamic,
06:35here? Sorry. This is my mum. Hi. I'm on a date as well. Oh, are you? I'm on a date,
06:40yeah.
06:42Oh, my goodness. How old are you? Sorry. 26. Okay, great. How old are you? 20. Oh.
06:50Is that age? No, no, no, no. Age is just a number at the end of the day. If we
06:53get on,
06:54it doesn't matter. There you go. If we get on, it doesn't matter. Right. Enough talking with your
06:58mother-in-law. Let's go outside for dinner. Come on. I will. I will. Have a good night,
07:06guys. Thank you, Angie. All right. See you. Bye. See you in a bit. Enjoy. See you in a bit.
07:14Enjoy. See you in a bit.
07:29It's funny, Ashley. Yeah, you've got a ringside seat for the beginning of their date there,
07:33aren't you as well? How long have you been single for, then? I've probably been single more of my adult
07:40life than I've been in a relationship. Okay. The last time I went on a date was 2013.
07:53I can't. Oh, it's a game start. Being he's the right man for the job is Carpenter John. He can
08:05fix
08:06anything except his love life. How would your friends and family describe you? Single.
08:14The first thing I've done this morning was Snapchatting my daughter. She's like my date night.
08:18We go to nice restaurants, so I'd much prefer somebody who could pay half the bill for starters.
08:24How are you? Yeah, good. Thank you. How are you? I'm John. Nice to meet you, John. Nice to meet
08:27you.
08:28What do you do for a living? Carpenter. Very handy. Give them my hands.
08:35Oh, the date is at the bar, actually. Here we are. Hi. I'm John. Hi, John. I'm Kelly. Nice to
08:42meet you.
08:43Can we get you a drink? What did you have? What did I have? You've now got to take me
08:47home.
08:47Oh, I've only just met. I've been dying for a Guinness all day. Can you put a Tia Marie in
08:54it,
08:54for me, too? Absolutely. Might calm the nerves a little bit, sir.
08:58Mum's date's time up. Oh, my gosh. Oh, my gosh. Looks quite young.
09:05You've got big arms. Yes. Muscly arms. I've got some guns. Yeah, you are. That's nice. Thank you very much.
09:10Girls with muscles. Yeah. Oh, that's all right, then. As long as you're not bigger than mine.
09:16Oh, I don't know. Do you want to flex off? No, no, no. They look bigger than mine, so...
09:19Cheers. So, cheers. It's a nice evening. Yeah, absolutely.
09:23Cheers. Here you go. Enjoy. Pleasure.
09:32You see here, all the people are in love.
09:36French people are very stylish. Very stylish. Very stylish. Very stylish people.
09:40And they're French parents. Oh, they look adorable.
09:41But they're also very stylish.
09:43What's happening with that? No, I want to cross it.
09:46You can't cross it, Mom. I'm going to take it with you. No, no, no.
09:50Let's do that. I'm afraid I feel comfortable and I'm so happy.
09:55Voilà.
10:03Dota, would you think, what kind of man would I fancy?
10:09I think just someone you can chat with, because that's the most thing that you do is chat.
10:17Originally from the Ukraine, single mom Katerina is ready to find love.
10:23My daughter, now she's 18. She's finishing her A-levels and hopefully, fingers crossed, she will go to uni.
10:31Does that mean you want to find someone?
10:32Of course. It's like more motivation, yeah.
10:39Nice to meet you, Katerina.
10:41Nice to meet you.
10:42Tell me, where are you from?
10:43I'm from Ukraine.
10:44Are you?
10:45Yeah.
10:45How do you find life here in Britain and the British people?
10:48I love this culture. You're so polite.
10:51We are Ukrainian. We are not rude as well, but we are more direct.
10:54Right.
10:55Like the French.
10:56Okay.
10:57So, have you met me?
10:57I have never dated with French men.
11:02I am becoming fussy, yeah, with age, because when we are young, we have like pink glasses,
11:09you know, on our eyes, yeah.
11:11Привет.
11:12Привет.
11:13Hello.
11:16Oh my God.
11:16Oh my God.
11:17Glass of Prosecco for you to start.
11:19Welcome.
11:20But yeah, I really don't want to be alone.
11:24Do you have a particular type?
11:25My life experience teaches me that sometimes personality is so strong and it doesn't matter
11:33appearance.
11:34British men, they are very polite.
11:37They are gentlemen.
11:38I like masculine hands.
11:42Oh my God.
11:43Sorry.
11:43I don't know why I mentioned this, but yeah.
11:48Project manager Peter may be handy in the planning department, but he hasn't been able to plan
11:53his way to love.
11:55I think people's misconception is that because I like to have a plan, is that I can't be
11:59spontaneous.
12:01But I sort of will go, right, this weekend I'm not going to have a plan.
12:06And that makes me feel comfortable because I've at least got a plan that there is no
12:09plan for the weekend.
12:13How are you, Peter?
12:14Yeah, good, thank you.
12:15Good.
12:16Nice to meet you.
12:16Nice to meet you.
12:17You look very confident.
12:19Oh, I'm trying to do the swan thing.
12:22What do you do for a living?
12:23Uh, project management.
12:24Oh, okay.
12:25So I used to be an aircraft engineer before that.
12:27Right.
12:28Well, your date is already here.
12:30She's at the bar.
12:34Right.
12:35Stereotypically hot is the kind of girl that I go for, yes.
12:39Reach for the stars and you'll hit the moon.
12:41You've got to go and meet her now.
12:42Can I go?
12:43Yeah, of course.
12:44See you later.
12:45Oh my God.
12:46Hi.
12:47Wow.
12:47Hi.
12:48How are you?
12:49Nice to meet you.
12:50And Katrina, sorry.
12:50Katrina, Pete.
12:51Yeah.
12:52How are you doing?
12:53Fine, thank you.
12:53You got yourself a drink already?
12:54Yes.
12:55What did you go for?
12:56Prosecco.
12:57What could we do for you to drink?
12:58I'll go with Prosecco please, yeah.
12:59Of course.
13:00Absolutely.
13:01Right, well, cheers.
13:02Budzmo.
13:03Budzmo.
13:04Budzmo.
13:04Budzmo.
13:04It's on my language.
13:06Right, okay, so which is from?
13:08I'm Ukrainian.
13:09So how long have you lived over here?
13:11Two years in health.
13:13We, when I say we, I mean me and my daughter, we choose to come here.
13:17Right.
13:17I have a daughter already.
13:19Sorry, yeah.
13:20So how old's your daughter?
13:22She's already 18.
13:23Oh, okay.
13:24So my son is 19 and my daughter's 22.
13:27Close to my daughter.
13:29Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
13:29Cheers.
13:30Thanks for meeting you.
13:30Cheers.
13:34Hello there.
13:35We have a sirloin steak for you, Andy.
13:39A sweet breast for you, Sam.
13:42What's your humour like?
13:43Dirty.
13:44Very innuendo.
13:46Yeah.
13:46Brilliant.
13:47I don't have a filter.
13:48Neither do I.
13:49Hello.
13:50Hi.
13:51This is an amuse-bouche.
13:53It is a tofu tata and it is delicious.
13:57Thanks so much.
13:58What is tofu?
14:00Okay, it's like a meat substitute.
14:04My meat does not taste like that.
14:09Your meat doesn't taste like that?
14:11Yeah, like...
14:14Wow, okay.
14:16This is the level.
14:16It would not taste like that.
14:21I won't eat the tofu.
14:23What do you want?
14:27What do you do?
14:28I'm a carpenter.
14:29Okay.
14:29I could wear my hands.
14:30So you like to play with tools as well?
14:33Yeah.
14:35What about you?
14:36I'm a dominatrix.
14:40I do pegging, spanking, corporal punishment.
15:00This looks gorgeous, Merlin.
15:03This is brilliant.
15:04It's good looking.
15:06Hello.
15:08How's it going?
15:09Nice to meet you.
15:11Nice to meet you.
15:12Nice to meet you.
15:12I just said that you're the best looking in the team.
15:15Oh, thank you.
15:16Not bad looking and friends.
15:18Come on.
15:19Well, it's a pleasure to meet you.
15:20Nice to meet you.
15:22Ah, pardon.
15:24Would you kiss the hand, do you?
15:25Oh, no, sorry.
15:26Yeah, you're going to create a problem here if you stay here.
15:34She's got a strong pose on there.
15:35Do you reckon that's...
15:37She's enjoying it pose or do you reckon that's untouching you?
15:40My mum's very much got...
15:41She's got a good poker face.
15:44Working in the adult industry is not really a lifelong choice.
15:47Right.
15:48It's something that I found myself in a lifetime situation.
15:51So, yeah, I do various different things.
15:53I do bondage, tie-in.
15:56I also do fantasy wrestling.
15:58Oh, OK.
15:59So, I wrestle men.
16:01Do you?
16:01Yes, I do.
16:02To be fair, I've got a sore shoulder with your feet now.
16:08When Jordan was a baby, I became a personal trainer
16:11and I managed to keep my head above water for approximately 18 years.
16:16But I was trying to find that thing that really is going to give me,
16:21you know, a financial break.
16:23I got into a webcam in initially.
16:25My name?
16:25I was actually a friend of mine who sort of said,
16:28look, have you thought about maybe doing this?
16:30And to be honest with you, I didn't even know what web plumbing was.
16:35Yeah.
16:35The amount of money that I get paid per hour is quadruple what I was earning in the fitness industry.
16:43So, it's relieved a lot of the anxiety and pressure that comes with being a single parent.
16:51Like, I'm OK with whatever you think.
16:53It's fine.
16:54You're supporting your family, it's there.
16:56Why not?
17:02What about your previous relationships then?
17:04How's that work with your guy in the work?
17:07My last relationship, unfortunately, he passed away.
17:11Oh, right.
17:12He had a heart attack and died suddenly.
17:15Yeah.
17:15He was only 49.
17:17So...
17:19I actually felt like Julia Roberts when I met him because I met him through work.
17:24He knew what I did.
17:25He was my biggest fan.
17:28He didn't have any children, so he looked at me like a son.
17:32He fit in perfectly with our family and he was just on my wavelength.
17:37We'd have banter all day.
17:39He liked the same music as me, so the relationship was a good one.
17:44We'd been together just over two years.
17:47Even though we had the differences and stuff, you know, he...
17:50He was a good man.
17:51Yeah, yeah.
17:52No, you can see the way you're talking about him as a good guy, yeah.
17:55Yeah.
17:56I don't know, from the first day that I met him, I just felt like...
18:01It was like he was my best friend.
18:03And he moved in with us quite quickly and it was a bit of a whirlwind,
18:07but it worked for us.
18:10The first year was the worst, I'd say.
18:13You never forget.
18:14Of course you don't, no.
18:15Of course you don't.
18:16I just felt like something kind of lifted a little bit.
18:18The first year was heavy.
18:19Yeah.
18:20I'm kind of scared to give myself to someone.
18:25I think since he died, I just put a massive barrier up.
18:31It's often people often say that their spirit stays with you until you're...
18:36Yeah.
18:37...you're fundamentally strong enough to move on and carry on.
18:40For sure.
18:51Oh.
18:53Oh.
18:55Oh.
18:56Oh.
18:57Oh, yeah.
18:57Oh, la, la.
18:59That's all that Fred says.
19:01Oh, la, la.
19:02Oh, la, la.
19:03So, where do you live in the UK then?
19:05In Bath.
19:06You live in Bath?
19:07No way.
19:09I live here, yeah.
19:12We came directly to Bath because of the war.
19:15Yeah.
19:15Let's not beat around the bush.
19:16That's horrendous what's happened to you to have to...
19:19It's horrible.
19:20Absolutely.
19:20And I don't wish anyone to feel this when one day you just wake up and you hear explosions.
19:28Yeah.
19:28I remember evening before, I and my friend went to the cinema.
19:33My friend asked me, oh my God, if tomorrow the war will start.
19:38I said to her, are you silly?
19:40No, it's impossible.
19:43Just went to sleep.
19:45And at 6am, I heard explosions outside.
19:50First three days, we stayed in Kyiv with air alerts, with explosions.
19:57You started to react on every sound.
20:01Even if you open the drawer, you know, and the sound, you're always jumping after this.
20:07I used to be in the military.
20:08So I know what it's like to be in a war zone.
20:13But for a civilian, you've made no choice whatsoever for that to happen to you.
20:17And you don't know what to do.
20:20You go to sleep in the evening and you're absolutely not sure that tomorrow you will wake up.
20:28And then I understood it could happen with my daughter.
20:33I love Ukraine, but I came here to save my daughter.
20:36As a mother, I have to do this.
20:40It must have been pretty hard.
20:43It was hard, yeah.
20:44But I think we are really lucky to be here.
20:47Yeah.
20:48But, yeah, my English, you know, it's not perfect.
20:53It's pretty good.
20:56Prosecco helps a lot.
20:57It's definitely better than my Ukrainian.
20:59Yeah, I know.
21:00Yeah.
21:01I do know some Ukrainian, but I'm probably going to pronounce it wrong.
21:05Okay.
21:06Just try.
21:07Slava Ukraine.
21:11Just directly to my heart, you know.
21:13Just directly to my heart.
21:15Oh, my God.
21:16Slava Ukraine.
21:17It's glory to Ukraine.
21:18And the answer should be always.
21:20Heroin Slava.
21:21Glory to heroes.
21:22Hooray.
21:23I'm going to forget all of these.
21:25You're absolutely good.
21:26Or I'll probably, after another glass, I'll probably be fluent.
21:29Okay.
21:30But then by tomorrow, I'll have forgotten everything.
21:32Oh, okay.
21:32I can remind you.
21:33Yeah.
21:34Yeah.
21:38It's wobbly.
21:40Cheers, boys.
21:43I love working for Fred.
21:46Was Fred always romantic?
21:49Merci.
21:51J'adore travailler pour Fred.
21:52Ah, c'est gentil.
21:53A-t-il toujours été romantique?
21:55Ah oui.
21:56Ah oui.
21:56Oui.
21:58Il avait des copines.
22:00Alors, après, on est pas avec lui comme t'il a qui copie.
22:05Okay.
22:10It's definitely a poor form to ask on a first date,
22:13but what is your dating history like?
22:15I've had some good relationships.
22:17It just haven't worked out.
22:18Mm-hmm.
22:19And then I've had some relationships where I've been in, like,
22:22the positions that I don't want to be in.
22:23Don't like doing doggy?
22:24I'm sorry.
22:25Huh?
22:25You always do it when it's a serious question.
22:29I'd like to catch you off guard.
22:30Of course.
22:31Anyways...
22:32Yeah, what was I saying?
22:33What's my name again?
22:35Amy.
22:36Good.
22:37Correct.
22:37Keep moving.
22:38I've got ADHD, so I'm very much...
22:40Everything lasts, like, five minutes.
22:42No, no, no.
22:43I fully understand.
22:44I have, like, ADHD friends, and it's like,
22:45as soon as they don't take their medication,
22:47well, it'll help us.
22:48I'm not medicated anymore.
22:49Oh, OK.
22:49I was medicated in school,
22:51and then when I left school, I was like, I can't.
22:53If I was to come on this date now,
22:54and I medicate myself, I'd be sat here like...
22:56Oh, really?
22:57Yeah.
22:59I grew up with ADHD,
23:02taking probably one of the highest doses of medication
23:04in the UK for a six-year-old,
23:06so it wasn't a joke for me, unfortunately.
23:10It was hard in school.
23:11I was struggling to find friendships, struggling to listen, learn,
23:17so it was just all over the place.
23:19I wouldn't say everyone was nice to me,
23:21but, yeah, I'm not going to hold a grudge against them.
23:23They probably didn't understand it themselves,
23:25so they just thought, oh, he's just some idiot.
23:28I am also neuro-intervention.
23:30I'm not ADHD, but I am dyslexic, so...
23:33Oh, like, simple messages,
23:34and I will get Siri to write them for me.
23:36Oh, my gosh!
23:37Oh, my gosh!
23:38Oh, my gosh!
23:38On the same wavelength.
23:40I love that.
23:41I love that.
23:42Leaving school was the biggest turning point for me,
23:45because when I left school,
23:45I kind of had the attitude that I was going to fend for myself,
23:48so now I believe I have mastered it.
23:52How long have you got left at uni?
23:53I would finish at the end of next year, right?
23:56But I am doing a Masters.
23:58I rate that.
23:59Mm.
23:59And I think the fact that you've done it shows drive as well.
24:02I'm a very ambitious person.
24:03It's a nice thing to see in someone.
24:07Hi!
24:09Hi!
24:10How's it going?
24:11Really well, thank you.
24:13How's your date?
24:14Yeah, it's going well, yeah.
24:16Yeah, it's going well.
24:18I'm married.
24:18She's a bit older than I thought.
24:20She's 50.
24:21I'm sorry.
24:22Yeah, she's nice, yeah.
24:23Does a lot of work in her, so I've got a hell of a body.
24:26He can chat.
24:27There hasn't been any awkward moments, so...
24:30It's always positive.
24:31I've had maybe two, three...
24:34Oh, who's counting?
24:35Not me.
24:36She's feisty.
24:37I know.
24:37She's feisty.
24:38Yeah, I have a little bit of space to me.
24:41Well, I'll leave you to it then.
24:43Enjoy the rest of your evening.
24:44You too.
24:45See you later.
24:46Enjoy.
24:47You too.
24:48I try not to fall down the stairs in my shoes.
24:52God, give me strength.
24:55God, give me strength.
25:03Oh, my God.
25:05I can't get this done up.
25:07What?
25:07The actual...
25:10She's done a runner.
25:13I've been stood up.
25:15She's not done a runner, is she?
25:16She hasn't done a runner.
25:16She hasn't done a runner.
25:17She hasn't done a runner.
25:17Oh, my God.
25:18She's gone.
25:19She's gone.
25:22Don't do that to me.
25:23I was watching that happen as well.
25:25I'm going, I'm hoping you bumped into each other on the stairs, you know?
25:30His mum is here.
25:33His mum's on his eight grass.
25:35Where's he gone?
25:37Hiya.
25:38You all right?
25:39Yeah, not so bad.
25:39Yeah.
25:40I just thought I'd come in just for myself.
25:41I'm Kelly's son.
25:43Oh, hi, Kelly's son.
25:44How are you doing?
25:44Good, you?
25:45Enjoying it?
25:45Yes, really well, yeah.
25:47That's very nice.
25:49You all right?
25:51Yeah.
25:52So, I came back and I was like, has she done a runner?
25:57Where is she?
25:59So, what do you do?
26:01I work in procurement.
26:03Okay.
26:04I'm always joking about this because I love shopping, you know?
26:08Now I'm in hospitality procurement.
26:10It's quite new for me, even if I am not a foodie person.
26:15You're not a foodie person?
26:17Shame on me.
26:17I love my food.
26:18I like to use, like, every single pot and pan.
26:21Do you have dishwasher?
26:22Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
26:24Yeah, it used to be my son.
26:26Yeah, bless him.
26:27Yeah.
26:28But your children, they live separately.
26:30Yeah, yeah.
26:33I met my children's mum when I was 18.
26:36She was pregnant at 18.
26:38We had our first child when she was 19.
26:41And having children that young puts a lot of pressure on you.
26:46You have to grow up quickly.
26:48You've got to drive your career forward as quickly as possible so as you can support your family as well.
26:54So, it definitely had a toll on the relationship.
26:58How long have you been separated here?
27:01Nine years now.
27:02They stayed with their mum, which was the right decision.
27:06You know, I moved on to base.
27:08But then when I came out of the Navy and then moved back home, you know, my son then wanted
27:13to come and live with me.
27:14So, you know, which was lovely.
27:16Now, my son is 19.
27:19He's just left to join the RAF.
27:21And my daughter is doing her thing as well.
27:25I definitely feel like I've got more time now.
27:28I don't want to be single.
27:30I don't think I've ever wanted to be single.
27:32I want to meet somebody and fall in love with somebody and grow old together.
27:37We are like three parents now.
27:39We have freedom, yeah?
27:40Right, yeah, yeah, yeah.
27:41Yeah, exactly.
27:42Yeah.
27:42Sorry, could I ask you?
27:43How old are you?
27:44So, I'm 42 now.
27:45So, I'll be 43 on Tuesday.
27:48Okay.
27:48What plans do you have for your birthday?
27:50Well, so, if I wasn't here, I was going to jet away and go to Bucharest for the weekend.
27:58But, yeah, something better came up.
28:00So...
28:00You don't have any plans now?
28:02Coming to me and you took over everything.
28:05Okay.
28:05So, yeah.
28:06Wow.
28:07Cool.
28:08One more.
28:08Good more.
28:09Good more.
28:09Good more.
28:10You see?
28:10You see?
28:11Okay.
28:14All right.
28:18Gerald, thank you very much for looking after my parents.
28:20You're very welcome.
28:20They are so delighted.
28:21Would you mind to take my mom's coat to her?
28:23Sure.
28:23And I'll be over in just a second.
28:25Okay.
28:25Cheers.
28:30This is 36-year-old Liverpudlian Liam, engineer by day, bongo bingo performer by night.
28:38Why are dancers needed for bingo?
28:40Because we get people going.
28:42I think it's the fact that we're just being idiots.
28:45Like, I can't even dance.
28:47Hear what I say now, we'll be there.
28:49So, a lot of the time, I'm absolutely leather just powering my mates on stage.
28:52The bingo buzz is good.
28:53You probably feel like, well, yeah, we can do it.
28:56I think it's the art of not giving AF.
29:00Like...
29:00You look so cool.
29:02So do you, mate.
29:02You look smashing though, yeah.
29:04Are you ready to dance a night away?
29:05Yeah.
29:05Yeah, we feel after a few.
29:07Yeah, yeah, yeah.
29:08Does that happen with the ladies?
29:10Not really, no.
29:12Once they see you're just a party boy, it doesn't really help you that much.
29:16Like, yeah.
29:17I mean, it probably does when you're like 20, 21, but when you're getting on a bit, like,
29:21it's like, people don't really want that.
29:23Shall I take your jacket?
29:24Yeah, nice one.
29:26You keep yourself fit.
29:27I can see the guns.
29:29Yeah, try my best, mate.
29:30You're looking fit, man.
29:31Yeah.
29:32I think you do want a girlfriend who will just go, should we just go get a flight?
29:36I do think it's nice of that spontaneity, yeah.
29:39Shall I get you a drink?
29:40Can I get an old-fashioned, please?
29:42Straight away.
29:42Cheers, Fred.
29:43I'm looking for someone who's sweet, but also a bit funny.
29:48Nice long hair, maybe a little bit mad as well.
29:51I like that.
29:52Not the norm.
29:54Meet Charlie, a 27-year-old events manager from Liverpool,
29:59whose creative side comes with a collection of hats as bold as her personality.
30:06So, would you like to see some of the hats I've made?
30:08It's got those LED lights.
30:10I love that, so when it's dark, you can make it flash.
30:12This one good vibes, because who doesn't want good vibes?
30:15Wars inspired me.
30:17I don't know really what inspired me.
30:19Maybe just being a bit of a raver who loves festivals.
30:23How are you?
30:24I'm very well.
30:25It's like a Beyoncé hat.
30:27And you love tattoos too, I can see.
30:29Some people kind of blend in or a wallflower.
30:32I'm definitely not.
30:33I need someone on my level a little bit.
30:35Someone who doesn't blend in the background,
30:37but it's quite happy to be kind of looked at.
30:40Are you ready to meet your date?
30:41I can.
30:42Are you here?
30:43Yes, they are.
30:44Perfect.
30:44He is.
30:46Come with me.
30:47I would love someone to join me in dancing.
30:50If you can come together on the dance floor,
30:52you're going to stay together.
30:53Hi.
30:54Do you do hugs?
30:56I'm Charlie.
30:56Nice to meet you, Charlie.
30:57Nice to meet you.
30:58How are you?
30:58Yeah, I'm fine.
30:59You're good, yeah.
31:00Are you feeling?
31:01All right, yeah.
31:02A bit nervous.
31:03Yeah?
31:04Do your date.
31:04Have fun.
31:05You're probably thinking what's going on with this hat.
31:07I make hats and headdresses for festivals.
31:09So I thought it would be a little bit of a talk to me.
31:11Okay, yeah.
31:12I will take it off because I know it's probably really distracting.
31:15Yeah, yeah, yeah.
31:15Because I feel like you're just looking at the tangly bits.
31:17Did you ever ask them, like, what they're planning here in that life?
31:19Did they have any, like, Buckfast or stuff like that?
31:22No, don't say that.
31:23I'm only joking.
31:24No, no, my friend was egging me on.
31:26She was like, Charles, date, ask for Buckfast.
31:28And I went, I'm not being that girl.
31:30Buckfast gets you fucked fast.
31:32Sorry.
31:33Do you like going to events or nights out or...?
31:36Yeah.
31:37Do you know what?
31:38I've been long gone to Bingo for the good eight years.
31:40Oh, okay.
31:40Doing what?
31:41As a dancer.
31:42Oh, cool, okay.
31:43It sounds like a wild job.
31:45Wild time, eh?
31:48How long have you been single for, then?
31:50I broke up with my boyfriend a year ago.
31:52What about you?
31:54I've been single for about a year.
31:55Like, it's been that busy, like, to be fair.
31:58I bought a house for my brother,
31:59and I was, like, working my normal job.
32:03I was working Bingo,
32:04and I was working my house every night and that as well.
32:07Like, it's been a mad year.
32:10I think it's just working all the time.
32:13It's just kind of changed me, really.
32:16Just having no life,
32:17instead of going out and being free all the time,
32:20which is something I would like to get back to.
32:22Like, what?
32:26I'm a bit of a partier.
32:27Like, I like raves.
32:29I like dancing.
32:30Oh, you're a dancer, are you?
32:30Just always like that.
32:31I'm just like...
32:32It's a lovely move, that line.
32:34I don't know what that was.
32:36You got any more tricks, though?
32:37That's for me to know and you to find out.
32:39Yeah.
32:40Yeah.
32:42It has been a pleasure to have you at the restaurant.
32:46Parapos.
32:48Me too.
32:52Merci beaucoup.
32:53Merci beaucoup.
32:54Merci beaucoup.
32:57Merci beaucoup.
32:58Merci.
32:59Merci beaucoup.
32:59Merci beaucoup.
33:04You got like a bit of a similar accent, would you say?
33:08Mum and dad moved around quite a lot.
33:10Yeah, I get on.
33:10When I was young.
33:11Yeah.
33:12Well, I was moved around because my dad was in the army.
33:14Yeah.
33:15Oh, really?
33:15Okay, yeah, so you understand where I'm coming from?
33:18Yeah, different schools. You're always, like, the new person at the school and stuff like that.
33:22I lost my dad when I was young in a car accident, and you're still...
33:26How old were you? Nine.
33:27Oh, crikey, that's terrible.
33:30Me and my dad had a real good relationship up until then.
33:32People said, do you still remember him? Yeah, you do.
33:35You do remember the good times and things.
33:37Went through a bit of a hard time, just with stress levels and anxiety.
33:42I don't even know how you get over it, to be honest.
33:44You probably missed him a lot when you were younger.
33:48Growing up, yeah, yeah. My mum took over.
33:50As soon as my dad passed away, she was stuck.
33:53She was living in a village where we live now.
33:56She went out, driving lessons, passed the driving test,
34:00to ferry me around, really, to go to football practice,
34:03to pick me up from school trips and things.
34:05So, yeah, that's where the love came from, really.
34:09You would never want that for your own childhood? No, definitely not.
34:12You know, you want to look after yourself and live as healthy a lifestyle as you can.
34:18Yeah, yeah.
34:19You obviously look after yourself and things.
34:21I do.
34:21Yeah.
34:22Yes, I do.
34:23You're like a little pocket rocket, aren't you?
34:30You guys looking at all right?
34:33Even telling...
34:34Oh yeah.
34:34Some clothing, you're looking at it.
34:37What should I do?
34:44I don't know the whole thing.
34:45All right, somebody.
34:47What should I do?
34:50I think you can see...
34:52What am I looking for? I'm after a best friend that I want to jump in bed with
34:57and enjoy life with. That is what I'm after.
35:03Happy? Yeah. Does it need to be said? Yeah.
35:14To have rebuilt her life in a new country, it gives a very good impression. There was definitely
35:20a spark for me and I do hope there was a spark for her as well.
35:24You don't regret that you should change your birthday plans?
35:29God, no. Definitely not. Definitely a good decision.
35:37Do you want to see each other again?
35:41Would you like me to answer first? Yes, please.
35:44I would love to see you again. Oh, thank you.
35:46No. I think definitely we need to see each other again. Good. Yeah.
35:52How are we doing the bill? I'll take that one, please.
35:55Oh, thank you for this. To be honest, our date was absolutely smoothie,
36:04absolutely nice, talking about everything what we would like.
36:08Oh, it didn't have any pose, like just talking, talking, talking. Yeah.
36:12There's more to scratch beneath the surface. Very floral, isn't it?
36:16Yeah. Pretty romantic, you know?
36:25Hey, let's go, girls. Woo! Let's have a go. Bath ain't ready for me.
36:30Are you OK? Thank you. I'm good.
36:35Oh, I see. He's like literally what I asked for on paper.
36:38He's got blue eyes, brown hair and a beard, and he's got two sleeves of tattoos.
36:42And he lives down the road.
36:46Talk about close to who.
36:48Yes, absolutely.
36:48Love you, that you look so happy.
36:50Aw.
36:50He's having a table at home.
36:51Love you.
36:53Bye.
36:58Base, fresh and fabulous.
37:00Let's go, let's go, let's go.
37:06I feel like I've just been to the other side of town.
37:09Yeah.
37:10All good?
37:11All good, right, yeah.
37:12So how old are you, anyway?
37:13Me, I'm 27.
37:1427, yeah.
37:15Oh, are you?
37:1636.
37:17OK, nice.
37:18Yeah, I'm just saying, not far off, 28.
37:21Yeah.
37:21Obviously, it's like a little bit of an age gaffe,
37:23because my assessment of my cut-off age is like no more than 10 years.
37:26But I'm quite independent.
37:28I have been since I was 18, do you know what I mean?
37:30Like, sometimes lads who are like my age or younger, a bit too immature.
37:35In high school, I was always yard one out.
37:37I've spent my whole life feeling like, I look, I speak different.
37:42People didn't like different in the school I went to,
37:44and I've always found it quite difficult to fit in.
37:49I'm a tall girl.
37:51I'm five, nine and a half, but I could be six foot one in heels.
37:54When you're a tall girl and, like, I'm a bit out there,
37:56people look at you funny.
37:57When you struggle to make friends, when you consider yourself an outsider,
38:02it is really lonely.
38:03I was stepping away from, like, people socially.
38:07I spent a lot of my life going,
38:09oh, all these girls who are nasty to me, why can't I be like that?
38:13It's only in recent years I've really found myself
38:15and started to accept who I am.
38:18I don't want to be anyone else, and I'm ready to see what the world has for me.
38:22I've been on a bit of more of, like, an independent journey,
38:25so now I'm feeling, like, more confident.
38:26I feel like me again.
38:27I feel like I'm happy to meet people, because I feel more authentic.
38:30Oh, my God, am I being, like, a bit match, you know?
38:32Oh, not a toy. You've been lovely, man.
38:35Have you been a nice night, aye?
38:36Did you go on holiday quite a bit?
38:38I've been to Thailand.
38:39We went down on my own, had the best time.
38:42What about you?
38:43From Mexico, Mexico's mental life.
38:46First night we were over there, we got marked by the police.
38:48Oh, my God.
38:49We got robbed, like, four times, like...
38:51So I'm coming on holiday with you.
38:53Yeah, I know, yeah.
38:57I hear you're very strong.
38:59What, you want an arm wrestle?
39:00Yeah, why not? Shall we do an arm wrestle?
39:02Let's go here.
39:04Maybe move these glasses to one side.
39:06All right.
39:07Yeah.
39:08Are you left or right-handed?
39:09I'm right-handed.
39:10Well, let's see if I can beat you with my weak hands.
39:12OK.
39:13All right.
39:14So you say when, you say when.
39:16Three, two, one, when.
39:18This is my weak arm.
39:20Yeah, but you're strong.
39:22He's going to beat me.
39:32He's going to beat me.
39:34Oh, no, not right.
39:34He's going to beat me.
39:35He's going to beat me.
39:37He beat me.
39:40He beat me.
39:43I feel bad for you because you're all well in the lurch of it completely.
39:46I knew my mum was here, you didn't.
39:48Yeah, but that's OK, though.
39:49I'm very much a person who will roll with the punches and just go, whatever.
39:54I actually rate your hair as well, man.
39:56Mm, how are yours?
39:57It's one of the same.
39:58It's almost as if you copied me.
39:59That's crazy.
40:02Your nice hair.
40:04It's all mine as well.
40:05You're very glamorous.
40:07You can pull it.
40:09It won't come out.
40:12I don't miss my hair.
40:13No.
40:13I mean, I have hair.
40:14I just don't grow it.
40:16You've got hair in just a different place.
40:17In a different place.
40:18Yeah, yeah, yeah.
40:18Distribution of hair.
40:20Cheers.
40:21Yeah, go on then.
40:21Ching ching.
40:22Uh-huh.
40:25Don't I agree?
40:27Hands up green.
40:34How'd it go?
40:35Yeah, I think it went well.
40:36It was good.
40:37I think she's funny.
40:38She's got banter.
40:39She's got humour, which is good.
40:41She's pretty.
40:42She's got lovely hair.
40:44Yeah, she's my type of person.
40:46At least where she says no, innit?
40:50I don't think you can judge off of one date.
40:52Is this you trying to be really smooth?
40:54No, but I'm just saying,
40:56I don't think you can judge off of one date.
40:58OK.
40:58Yeah.
40:59Definitely think.
41:06Would you guys like to see each other again?
41:08No.
41:09Would you like to go first?
41:10You just do what I'm saying.
41:11Yeah, round two.
41:13Yeah, bring it on.
41:15Yeah, sure.
41:17I'm sure you don't want to split that, by the way.
41:19No, it's fine.
41:20Are you sure?
41:20Yeah.
41:21OK.
41:22What a gentleman you are.
41:24Yeah, it definitely is a click, for sure.
41:27We've got a couple of things in common, so there's something there.
41:33Mm-hmm.
41:33I'd agree.
41:34Mm-hmm.
41:35I never even asked.
41:36Do you like pets?
41:37My family are cat ladies.
41:38I'm more of a dog lady myself.
41:40Thank God for that.
41:41Shall we go for an apelot?
41:42Just an apelot.
41:44Mm, spicy.
41:47PG.
41:48Yeah.
41:49I'm trying to do it, PG, man.
42:02I don't have it on my face, do I?
42:03No, not at all.
42:04You look sorry.
42:07I can't tell whether he thinks I'm attractive, whether he likes my personality.
42:11I don't know if I've put them off, so I feel quite unsure.
42:14I...
42:14All right, yeah.
42:15How are we?
42:16Sound up, yeah.
42:18I feel like the naughty school kids, I...
42:23So, do you want to see each other again?
42:25Yeah, I'll see each other again.
42:27Yeah?
42:27Yeah.
42:28Watch your behave like that, just like that.
42:30Wake to the top.
42:32But we had a laugh.
42:33I just...
42:34That was only dull moments, like, was that?
42:36No.
42:37Yeah.
42:38Hey, guys, how are we doing this?
42:42About half.
42:42No, man.
42:43Yeah, we're...
42:44Are you sure?
42:44Yeah.
42:45We'd have some mad time, so...
42:46Yeah, 100%.
42:48We can start with a drink tonight, if you want.
42:50Yeah.
42:51Best of your heads.
42:53Ah, these are good.
42:54Nice one, thanks a lot, Fred.
42:56She's a lovely person, isn't she?
42:57You know, that much of a helmet, like, to be fair.
43:00Thanks.
43:01Thanks, that was really romantic.
43:03Your heart's going wild.
43:05See you.
43:06Bye.
43:06Bye, Fred.
43:08We had a good banter, like, didn't we?
43:10We had a laugh and that, like...
43:11Yeah, definitely, yeah.
43:13The hat didn't scare you off too much.
43:14No.
43:15Thanks for putting up my height on my hat.
43:17You're not even tall, I mean, you're even in heels.
43:19You haven't seen the shoes I've got in the hotel yet.
43:21Yeah.
43:22Might get them out later.
43:27Your arms are pretty good.
43:30With guns?
43:30Yeah.
43:31Your legs look really muscly, too.
43:33I love a thigh muscle.
43:35Do you?
43:35You know, it's the third most important muscle in your body.
43:37I think you're beautiful.
43:39Yeah.
43:42I don't take compliments that well,
43:44and I didn't compliment him as much as he complimented me.
43:49I didn't feel like I was massively flirting with him,
43:52but I thought, you know what, I've come here with an open mind,
43:55so I'm going to talk to this guy.
43:57I'm going to have a really nice evening and see where it goes.
44:02Just got an Ironman tattoo.
44:04Have you done an Ironman?
44:05Yeah, yeah, I've done it in New York, yeah.
44:06Have you?
44:07I wouldn't get the tattoo unless I didn't know.
44:09Oh, my God.
44:11Honestly, that's such an achievement.
44:17So then, guys, would you like to see one another again?
44:21I'll go first, if that's right.
44:23Of course. Yeah.
44:25I thought we had a great date.
44:26There was no conversation stoppages or anything.
44:29I totally respect what you do and everything.
44:31I think you're gorgeous.
44:32I would definitely say yes.
44:33I shaved my legs and things too.
44:36That's all right.
44:36There's nothing wrong with that.
44:37That's nice.
44:38Yeah, I'd like to go on another date again and see.
44:42Just see where it went.
44:43Yeah, and see where things go, yeah.
44:45Yeah, cool.
44:46We're two fully grown adults.
44:47We've got this.
44:49We're two fully grown adults.
44:51Yeah, I'd say so.
44:53Guns off.
44:55No, I didn't.
44:58You're bigger, aren't they?
45:00No.
45:01Cheers, thank you.
45:03Bye-bye.
45:03Bye-bye.
45:04I've got bigger legs, though.
45:06Oh, I don't know.
45:08They're pretty big.
45:09No, I'm not getting a shot.
45:10Hang on a minute.
45:11It's Kenny's trousers off.
45:14Here I come, plodding downstairs.
45:18Coming in calms?
45:19Yeah, why not?
45:25Is your mum going to be there the second time?
45:28No.
45:28OK, good.
45:29No, no, no, no, no, no.
45:30Mama said there'll be days like this.
45:33There'll be days like this, Mama said, Mama said, Mama said, Mama said, Mama said,
45:38Mama said, there'll be days like this.
45:39Nice thing, yeah?
