00:00To love, everybody.
00:01To love!
00:03Last year, we raised a toast to our tenth season of love.
00:08To the shy, the superfly, and the why-oh-why.
00:13What have you gotten yourself into?
00:15Are you ready?
00:16I'm shaking myself on my collar.
00:18I need some romance.
00:20The beautiful and the brave...
00:22Wow.
00:23You're gorgeous.
00:24...who took a chance on romance.
00:25All of my women die, so don't get too close.
00:27All of my husbands died, so don't worry.
00:30For some, prayers were answered.
00:33And dreams came true.
00:35You are just a big, tall drink of water, aren't you?
00:38For others, Heaven just had to wait a little longer.
00:42Oh, here we go.
00:42But no matter who they were...
00:44I live for the drama.
00:46...or where they came from, they all brought them up.
00:49I'm actually getting engaged tonight.
00:50Absolutely.
00:51I won't send you dick pics.
00:53You are nailing this date, pal.
00:57Oh, no!
01:02It's the round of truth.
01:07The greatest thing you'll ever learn is to love,
01:10and to get love in return.
01:13So this is love...
01:16How would I describe love?
01:18So this is love...
01:19It's all that, just soft and happy, giddly.
01:25My heart has wings...
01:28Love is made up of so many different things.
01:31You know, it's trust, it's companionship, it's honesty.
01:34Love is comfort and being 100% there for someone
01:38with a background of some hanky-panky.
01:42So this is love...
01:44Would you say you've been in love?
01:45Yeah.
01:46Yes, many times.
01:48I really love being in love.
01:51I just want to give all my love that I have
01:53and project it onto someone else.
01:54So this is love...
02:04Feeling it, giving it, sharing it.
02:06Raven was all about the love.
02:10I love love.
02:11I love being in love.
02:12I feel like I try to exude love even just in my life in general.
02:16So, LA girl, eh?
02:17Oh!
02:18Yeah.
02:19What brings you here?
02:19Film studies, would you believe?
02:21Ah, okay.
02:22Someone asked me, like,
02:24oh, what are some words that you did not understand
02:26when you moved here?
02:27Shifting was one that I didn't understand.
02:29I thought they were giving hand jobs in the club.
02:32I was like, this is crazy!
02:34They're doing this?
02:35Though he was very much his own man,
02:38in one way, Connor was so Raven.
02:41I love love.
02:42It's kind of the best thing we do, I think, you know?
02:46Hi, nice to meet you.
02:47Hey, how are you?
02:48I'm Raven.
02:49I'm Connor.
02:49Nice to meet you.
02:50I would like to find the love of my life.
02:52Are you surprised or, like, horrified,
02:54or, like, pleasantly surprised?
02:57I have nothing to complain about so far.
02:59Oh, I'll take it.
03:01Yeah, and a lot to be happy about, to be honest.
03:06Everyone thinks they know what love is.
03:10But no one expressed it quite like Stan.
03:12Love is somebody you can sit in silence with.
03:17Just be happy that that other person's there.
03:19How are you?
03:20Your name?
03:21Stan Phillips.
03:22Real love is rare.
03:25It's wonderful.
03:26I've had it a couple of times in my life.
03:28Um, and I'm hoping that I will have it again.
03:32Hello.
03:32Hello, how are you?
03:34Stan's date was Lorraine.
03:35How are you?
03:36A younger woman.
03:37Stan.
03:38Not that anyone was asking.
03:39Where are you from?
03:40Except Stan.
03:42How old are you?
03:42Do you mind me asking?
03:43No, no, not at all.
03:44I'm 80.
03:4580?
03:45Yeah.
03:46And you?
03:4786.
03:48Oh, wow.
03:49Today.
03:49Today.
03:50Oh, my goodness.
03:52Happy birthday, then.
03:53Oh, this is a lovely treat for my birthday.
03:55Oh, isn't it?
03:55It's a celebration, and they say the more birthdays you have,
03:58the older you get.
03:59Yeah, it's great to have another one, isn't it?
04:01My time of life, you don't plan ahead.
04:03Not at all.
04:04You don't even buy green bananas.
04:06No, no, no.
04:06You just do.
04:07You just get on with the day.
04:12Season 10 was quite the fashion show.
04:15Nearly every dater arrived in style.
04:18And the haute couture continued inside.
04:21They made you more stylish, first of all.
04:23Thank you for not the same.
04:25I cannot say the same for you.
04:29Oh, that's nice.
04:30Hey.
04:31Oh, damn, bro.
04:33Look at the shades, you know?
04:34Narcos.
04:35Oh, yeah.
04:37I like the blue shirt.
04:39Blue reds.
04:40Oh, matchy, matchy.
04:41I think I'm a great date because I am fun.
04:46I'm electric with good vibes.
04:49So even that person doesn't like me,
04:51she's gonna have a good time.
04:53I feel like you always feel good after shooting a shot.
04:56Oh, yeah.
04:57Oh, yeah.
05:01Damn, girl.
05:03Like any fairytale princess,
05:06Minnie was looking for a very specific type.
05:09If I was to describe my prince charming,
05:12would be literally a rapid blonde, hair, blue eyes.
05:19Even before he arrived, Chris knew this would go well.
05:24Would you consider yourself someone that is confident,
05:26do you think?
05:27Yeah, I think so.
05:28Oh, God.
05:29You didn't miss a practice today, huh?
05:31No, I didn't.
05:32Didn't this morning.
05:32Got it out of the way.
05:33Get rid of the nerves.
05:34Probably sometimes a bit overconfident, but listen.
05:37Hello.
05:38Hi.
05:38Hello.
05:39I'm Chris.
05:40Nice to meet you.
05:40I'm Minnie.
05:41Nice to meet you.
05:41How are you?
05:43How are you?
05:44I'm Neil.
05:44Show us your eyes.
05:46What about?
05:47Yeah, he has.
05:50Blue.
05:51She was hoping for a blue white boy.
05:53There we go.
05:53Why did you have to be such a snitch?
05:55It's a good match.
05:58If Derek liked his date, she'd know.
06:01Because Derek had a catchphrase.
06:04Have you fixed?
06:07If I'm sitting at the bar and the lassie walks in
06:09and I go, jeez, have you fixed?
06:11He's around to a winner.
06:14And with that, in stepped Karen.
06:17Derek.
06:18Wow.
06:19Have you fixed?
06:20Oh, man.
06:21Hi, how are you?
06:22How are you?
06:23Karen, nice to meet you.
06:24How are you?
06:25Thanks.
06:26How are you?
06:26Good to see you.
06:28How are you getting on?
06:29Karen, how are you?
06:30No, not too bad.
06:31What's the crack?
06:32How are the nerves?
06:34Your stomach's a lot to dirty, so it isn't it?
06:40Hey.
06:42If there's one thing that almost every hopeful singleton shares,
06:46it's pre-date nerves.
06:48And last year's daters were no different.
06:52Hey.
06:53Hey.
06:54Keep on trying me, I feel it quietly, trying to silence me.
06:59Hello.
07:00Oh, God.
07:02It's normal to be nervous.
07:04It means you're giving your all.
07:09A bit of tension.
07:11Yeah.
07:11Yeah, but that's cool.
07:14Sometimes I say stupid things, so I need to be careful.
07:17How do you feel?
07:18Nerv.
07:19Don't worry, you did a great thing to put yourself out there.
07:25You have to push yourself, and you could be missing out on something great if you don't take that leap.
07:28Chances are the other person is going to be nervous as well, and they're going to be out of their
07:31comfort zone as well.
07:33It's my anxiety.
07:34You gotta keep it on your team.
07:40I'm here.
07:41I thought that was the top.
07:43There are all different kinds of pre-date nerves.
07:46Oh, yeah.
07:47But no one suffered them quite as exquisitely as Connor.
07:52This whole thing's a bit nerve-wracking.
07:54Oh.
07:56This is quite terrifying.
07:58I don't know who you set me up with.
08:00Connor's date was Hannah, also nervous, but a lot more composed than the man she was about to meet.
08:07Even if I'm absolutely terrified, I still, like, pop my shoulders back, head up, and just walk in as if
08:14I'm Marilyn Monroe.
08:16Hi.
08:17How are you going?
08:18Nice to meet you.
08:19Nice to meet you.
08:20Hannah, how are you?
08:21Hi, I'm Hannah. Nice to meet you.
08:22Nice to meet you.
08:23Nice to meet you, too.
08:24How are you?
08:25Nervous.
08:26Are you nervous?
08:27Oh, come on, yeah.
08:28Sorry, I'm overthinking all of this.
08:31Oh, no, you're fine.
08:32Like, just, you're all right.
08:33Have a little cheers.
08:34Oh, yeah, cheers.
08:36So, yachida.
08:36Yachida.
08:37Yachida.
08:38I feel very vulnerable when I'm dating.
08:40I get very awkward and I revert to my Catholic upbringing where sex is a sin.
08:47Can I ask a really awful question?
08:49Yeah.
08:50Forgot your name.
08:51It's Hannah.
08:52It was Hannah.
08:53I kind of had this thing where, like, I word vomit or, like, I nervous, like, overshare, and I could
08:58say anything.
09:00And you're Ryan, right?
09:01Connor.
09:02I'm joking.
09:03That was a joke.
09:07What is terrifying?
09:08Yeah.
09:08I'm so sorry.
09:09No, you're fine.
09:10It's good to be nervous, I suppose, because it means you care.
09:13We all have a comfort zone.
09:16Some dread being outside of it.
09:19Rani embraced the fear.
09:22I like doing something that makes me frightened every now and again, and I suppose this does make me frightened.
09:27It's like diving into the deep end of the pool.
09:30Yeah, yeah.
09:32Nobody there to help me now.
09:35This is it.
09:36What's frightening for me is if it actually does work out.
09:41I'm open to the suggestions.
09:44Which was good, because Rani's date was Julian.
09:48Returning to the restaurant even more charming than before.
09:53My God, I can't believe it.
09:56Oh, there's eyes, my God.
09:59Kindness.
10:00That's the bottom line, really.
10:02It's kindness.
10:03Kind to humans and kind to dogs.
10:07In fact, all animals.
10:09I particularly like sighthounds.
10:13Sighthounds?
10:14Greyhounds, whippets, et cetera.
10:15Okay.
10:16And I love all.
10:17I have two Rottweilers.
10:19Oh, Jesus.
10:21Christ, I better behave myself.
10:24Guess what breed I would be if I was a dog?
10:27Oh, my goodness.
10:30Jesus, it's so obvious.
10:32Is it?
10:33Mm.
10:34No, it's not, because I can't figure out.
10:37Here's my tail.
10:45I haven't a clue.
10:49Perpetual motion.
10:53Springer.
10:55Spaniel.
10:57Yeah.
10:57The spring is spaniel.
10:58Yeah.
11:05My dog is my one to love.
11:06I don't need to love anybody more than I love my dog.
11:10If I was on a date with somebody and they started talking about their dog, I would be immediately attracted
11:15to them straight away.
11:16Or if somebody went, I don't like dogs, I'd be like, right, goodbye.
11:23I had a dog, and he was a Labrador cross, and I called him Owen Wilson after the actor.
11:28Because at the time, everyone was calling their dogs Marnie.
11:31And then I was like going, Owen Wilson it is.
11:34Owen Wilson it is.
11:36But I have a cat now.
11:38This is not going to work.
11:39You've never met him.
11:40You've never met him.
11:41Do I know what his name is?
11:42Mm-hmm.
11:44He's called Ron Burgundy.
11:47Because he's kind of a big deal.
11:53I've been told I have golden retriever energy.
11:56For Connor, and his date Daniel, it was, not to put too fine a point on it.
12:01Daniel.
12:02Feeding time.
12:03What would you cook to impress the dates?
12:08Depends.
12:09Are we having sex on the first date, or are we not having sex on the first date?
12:15Oh, we haven't even had.
12:16Oh.
12:16What?
12:16Oh, sorry, sorry.
12:17What have you been doing?
12:18No, I don't know.
12:19Have you been talking?
12:20Do you think we've been enjoying each other's company?
12:22Whoa.
12:23You haven't looked at the menus?
12:25We'll let Alice decide.
12:26It depends.
12:27Like, are you wanting to just have a bit of crack and take a risk and have some oysters,
12:30or do you want to go eat?
12:32We'll go for it.
12:33Yeah.
12:34Let's go for it.
12:35Okay.
12:35Oysters.
12:39Food can turn a bland encounter into a date to be relished, but taste is unpredictable,
12:45each to their own.
12:47I'm not really mad on, like, creamy sauces.
12:49I took a risk.
12:49He doesn't do cream.
12:51Don't be annoying.
12:57This is a lot of pepper.
12:59I just like black pepper.
13:01Mm-hmm.
13:01Black pepper and black men.
13:03My wedding will be chicken nuggets and chips.
13:06He can have steak.
13:07Already planning your wedding.
13:08My wedding.
13:09Our wedding?
13:10No.
13:11If I buy ice cream, I keep eating them.
13:15And I'd be afraid I'd become a diabetic.
13:18Is the lemon butter sauce on the cod?
13:21Yes.
13:22Could I get it on the side, if that's okay?
13:24If the fish could just be, like, kind of separated, if that's okay?
13:27He's a self-declares picky eater.
13:29That's one big flag so far.
13:36Oh, God, here we go.
13:37Oh?
13:38Oh, no, nice.
13:39This is going to go so badly.
13:42And do you chew it?
13:44It's up to you.
13:45Okay.
13:45I like to give it one or two chews.
13:47Some people just swallow.
13:48Okay.
13:49Um, we won't go any further with that.
13:51I was going to say.
13:52I'm going to stop it.
13:56I have never tried oysters in my life, but I...
13:58Today's the day.
13:59Today is the day.
14:00You're either going to love it or you're going to hate it.
14:02I used to be an oyster shucker, so...
14:04I've shucked oysters in my time, too.
14:05Yeah, there you go.
14:07A mother shucker, as they call us.
14:09That was me.
14:10All right, cheers.
14:10Sláinte.
14:13Mine didn't come out.
14:15And, like, if things go well, because I would say it's going well so far,
14:20there's a place that I go to that there is a Raven table that I can go and I can
14:24be like,
14:24hey, is the Raven table available?
14:26And they're like, let me check.
14:26Having a table for just you?
14:28Man, that's so Raven.
14:32I get that so much.
14:35I had a feeling, it's like, you've probably heard this a lot.
14:38My Instagram is, that's not so Raven.
14:40That's not so Raven.
14:40That's not so Raven.
14:41Exactly.
14:42We're different.
14:46I see if you've already got the train, you're not driving.
14:48Yeah, no, no, I got the train, I'm not driving.
14:50I'm only a learner, but my full test is small.
14:52Are you any good?
14:53Do you think?
14:53No.
14:54No, I didn't pass the first two times.
14:57It's easier for a girl.
14:58It's easier for girl-looking girls.
14:59It's so much easier.
15:00That's the sexiest thing to say.
15:03It's not sexist, it's just honest.
15:07Pretty privileged, it's not sexist.
15:11Privilege?
15:12Pretty privileged, yeah.
15:16Do you think you're a good date?
15:18Jesus, I don't know.
15:19Depends who you ask, I suppose.
15:21Do you remember my name?
15:23Mimi.
15:24No!
15:25You gotta rock!
15:26What is it?
15:29What is it?
15:31It's Mimi.
15:32Mimi?
15:32Not Mimi.
15:33Okay, sorry, I misheard you then.
15:36Mimi's the one on Love Island.
15:38Yeah, but I misheard you, that's what I heard up there.
15:40Oh my God.
15:41Oh, Jesus.
15:42So much pressure, like, oh my God, right.
15:48Hey, old Trinity Frog here.
15:50Oh my God.
15:51Look at this dude, he wants that fucking thing,
15:53and he's been there for six hours.
15:55I'm from Cork.
15:56Geez, sorry to hear that.
16:09A little sweetness is all you need to bring to a date.
16:15But there's always room for some extra sugar.
16:21What do you want?
16:22A little bit of chocolate.
16:23Oh!
16:25It's a natural aphrodisiac.
16:27That's a very nice touch.
16:29Romance is not dead.
16:31Oh!
16:31Oh my goodness.
16:33That's very cute.
16:38Thank you so much.
16:40And sweet.
16:41Flowers and chocolates.
16:43He's a proper gentleman.
16:44He really is.
16:45I love when people are giving me gifts.
16:48It makes, I think, the other person feel like, oh, you know, they're really putting
16:51in the effort.
16:52Hey, how are you doing?
16:53Oh, that's so sweet.
16:54No worries at all.
16:55Look, it's going.
16:56I'll take a box and take it.
16:58Fish chocolate.
16:59It's not my heart.
17:04Happy birthday to you, everybody.
17:08Happy birthday, dear Stan.
17:13Happy birthday to you.
17:17Thank you so much.
17:19Go on, Danny.
17:27Turn-ons, turn-offs, we all have our preferences.
17:31And last season's daters sure had theirs.
17:35I'm not looking for perfection.
17:37I'm looking for my Mr. Perfect.
17:39And what's your usual type?
17:41A human, I suppose.
17:43Yeah, yeah.
17:44Broad shoulders.
17:46You know, I'd like to be having the feeling that, you know,
17:50you can melt into a hug.
17:52I don't like gym bods or any of those things.
17:55I like kind of bearish men, you know, a bit cuddlier with beards.
18:01The height thing doesn't matter to me at all.
18:03Like, I'm five foot four.
18:05Like, save the tall lads for the tall girls.
18:07I don't need them.
18:07I just don't know because I feel I'm really short.
18:10And if both of us are going to be short, then we're going to have
18:14like little kids, you know.
18:16I just think a hat, you know, for my future babies.
18:20I'm not going to lie.
18:21Usually guys that go to the gym are like my pet, not pet peeve,
18:24what's it called?
18:25The aches.
18:25Really?
18:27Yeah.
18:30Because usually guys that go to the gym are like full of themselves
18:32and all they care about is the gym.
18:36I care about other things, but it's definitely something that's important.
18:42Is your favourite sports, like what do you play?
18:44Probably hurling I'd say.
18:46I like hurling too.
18:47Do you?
18:48Yeah.
18:48My whole life I've always done exercise and stuff like that.
18:51Like, because when I was three I was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis.
18:56From then, like, my mum just put me into so much sport and so much exercise
18:59to get me fit and healthy.
19:01Just became part of my life and like, that's why I love exercise, love fitness.
19:05That's why I got into the career of me.
19:07I'm very lucky that my cystic fibrosis isn't that bad.
19:10There are people who seriously struggle and like,
19:11and there's a lot of people who spend a lot of time in hospital with it.
19:14I'm very lucky in that sense, but it also is a huge amount of down to exercise
19:17and that's why I love what I do and why I got into what I do.
19:21What did you ask for this day actually?
19:23Someone who's in good shape and is funny and is up for a laugh can take a joke.
19:27Those nine things I said.
19:28Aww.
19:29Yeah.
19:30What'd you say?
19:30That's so cute.
19:32Brad Pitt.
19:33That's not me like, you didn't get that.
19:36I think so.
19:37That's not like that.
19:39My dream woman would be someone who is funny.
19:44I seem to go for funny kind girls.
19:47Or whoever will take me.
19:50Do you speak any other languages?
19:52Um, I speak an ounce of Swahili.
19:56Yeah.
19:58I thought that was so cool.
19:59Yeah.
20:00Really random.
20:01I don't have like a specific type.
20:03I kind of more go off the spark when I meet someone.
20:06But personality wise, funny, quite laid back and just like a nice kind person.
20:14I'm a great goer so like Irish and English are like the same to me, do you hear me?
20:19And then I speak Spanish, a little bit of Italian, a little bit of Portuguese, a little bit of German.
20:24And then a little bit of Welsh.
20:25You speak everything.
20:30Wowing your date by revealing a skill or a hidden talent can be really impressive.
20:36Or you know, slightly unnerving.
20:39I'm trained in karate as well, so.
20:41Wow.
20:42Are you black belt or?
20:43Yeah.
20:44Okay.
20:45So I don't want to get on the wrong side of you.
20:51I like to paraglide, believe it or not.
20:54Wow.
20:54That's a bit daredevil-y, isn't it?
20:58I'm a musician and I'm in a band.
21:00It's me and my brother, Elliot.
21:01We're like the Gallagher brothers, but better looking.
21:05I've done a lot of dancing.
21:06Maybe you could teach me how to waltz.
21:08I'll give you a dad joke.
21:10Okay, go on.
21:11A polar bear walks into a bar and he says to the bartender,
21:15can I have a... pint, please?
21:20And the bartender says, why the Pauls?
21:24And he says, I was born with them.
21:30Used judiciously, a little humour can go a long way on a date.
21:34Roy was a one-man entertainment system.
21:37Neil.
21:37Roy, lovely to meet you.
21:38As a kid, I would memorize movies off by heart
21:41and, like, regurgitate the lines.
21:43Like, you can do the Arnold spots and they go, you know?
21:47Probably annoyed the heck out of friends and family.
21:50Owen Wilson from, like, you know, wow.
21:52Everyone does the wow.
21:53I can't stop it.
21:54Like, I can't switch it off.
21:55Hey, old Kermit the Frog here.
21:56So, I'm going to teach you all how to change the sound of your voice,
21:59the inflection of your voice.
22:00What do you mean, you don't know how to do it?
22:01What? You don't know how to do it?
22:02I'm like, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
22:04Oh, my God.
22:08Hello.
22:10Oney and Katie were a picture of innocence from the moment they met.
22:15Despite the fact that Oney had been around a bit.
22:18In the last few years in Venice.
22:21Okay.
22:21New York.
22:22Paris.
22:23Athens.
22:24London.
22:24Amsterdam and Edinburgh.
22:26The one I probably had the most fun in was Amsterdam.
22:29Because...
22:31I don't know what you're implying.
22:32Because?
22:33No, it's not true.
22:33I am a good Catholic, but I don't know what you're implying.
22:37I was going to say because I found a karaoke bar and they felt...
22:41Did you?
22:41Yeah.
22:42I literally was only in Amsterdam.
22:43I'd love to do karaoke in Amsterdam.
22:45It was great.
22:46I went in there, like, literally every night after I found it.
22:49And by the end, they were, like, more...
22:50They were, like, advertising me.
22:52They were, like, giving me drinks or, like, open the door.
22:53Like, come in, look at this dude.
22:54He won't stop fucking singing.
22:55He's been there for six hours.
22:57Can you sing, though?
22:58Or is it just that you're having fun?
23:00Can I sing?
23:02Can I sing, Katie?
23:05I'm sorry.
23:06Did I underestimate you?
23:07I mean, how well can you sing?
23:09Look, I don't like to brag.
23:11Again, very modest.
23:13I am the most beautiful singer in all of the history of singing ever.
23:19In this world, there are lovers and there are fighters.
23:23Ben was a bit of both.
23:26By day, teach karate.
23:28Oh, cool.
23:29And then, by night, I do music musician.
23:32I don't want to say it's numero uno, because then karate's numero dos, right?
23:35But that's my main love.
23:36So, tell me, what's your usual type?
23:39My usual type?
23:40Yeah.
23:42Musician, I guess.
23:43Musician, okay.
23:45Story.
23:48The story with Saoirse was that she was born to play.
23:52And right now, she was keen to harmonise.
23:55What would really impress you?
23:57Musician.
23:58I'd be like, hi!
24:00Yeah, let's do this.
24:02Hello.
24:03Hello.
24:03How are you?
24:03Hi, I'm Saoirse.
24:05Saoirse?
24:05Nice to meet you.
24:05Nice to meet you.
24:07Ben.
24:08How are you?
24:09Oh, man, I'm class.
24:10I love the piercings.
24:12Thanks so much.
24:12Great.
24:13Where are you from?
24:14Literally just up the road.
24:16What about you?
24:16I'm from Cork.
24:18Geez, sorry to hear that.
24:25Thankfully, barring the odd faux pas, the road to romance was paved with common interests and shared experience.
24:35Oh, love me like a love of my heart.
24:40I sing, I play harmonica, I play guitar, I play the banjo.
24:43I have a dream of learning the banjo.
24:45I have a banjo back in L.A.
24:47I have a banjo at home.
24:48So, did you do speech and drama when you were younger?
24:51I did also speech and drama.
24:52Very nice.
24:55I love theatre.
24:57That would be something that I really would like to share with somebody.
25:00I like the theatre and culture.
25:01I love the theatre and Newbridge.
25:03I was named after Bob Dylan.
25:05I was named after Jules Holland.
25:06Star.
25:13I love odd border.
25:15Likewise.
25:15I tried being normal once.
25:17No, no, it's too boring.
25:18It was the worst ten minutes of my life.
25:20I live long and prosper.
25:20Live long and prosper.
25:22Do you like Star Trek?
25:23I watched the new movies.
25:25If the date can continue, we're fine.
25:28The word that's spelled S-C-O-N-E.
25:31Scone, yeah, yeah, yeah.
25:33I say scone.
25:33Are you going to say scone?
25:35It's going to say scone.
25:35You're saying all the right things, to be fair.
25:37No, I literally agree with everything you said there.
25:39Yeah?
25:39I say you're going to be a perfect match.
25:47Kevin arrived for his date knowing that whatever happened, he was loved.
25:53By friends and colleagues, Matteo and Neil.
25:56How's it going, buddy?
25:58I studied that to make sure I got the door right.
26:00How are you?
26:02I like the suit, looking sharp.
26:05How's it going, bud?
26:06Kevin!
26:07What's the story?
26:10Now I feel the pressure.
26:11Now I have to get him somebody...
26:13You've got to get him someone wordy of it, you know?
26:17Small world.
26:18And then when Gab arrived...
26:20All right, Kev.
26:20He's got a little small.
26:21How's it going?
26:24How are you, man?
26:25Oh my God, this was a joke.
26:28Do we know each other?
26:30We do know each other.
26:30Not very well, but we've met before.
26:33I used to work with her sister.
26:36Oh, it's a small, small world.
26:39I like people that, from one side, they enjoy a lot the party and going out.
26:43And from the other side, they do enjoy time in the house, watching a movie, things like this.
26:49I'm really like the devil and the saint.
26:51Both sides are really strong.
26:54I love concerts.
26:56You're the same?
26:57Taylor Swift.
26:58One of the best days of my life.
26:59Really?
27:00You're a Swifty.
27:00I don't know what nobody has said, but I think that Taylor is the next coming of Jesus Christ.
27:08I love Taylor Swift.
27:11I'm a Swifty.
27:12I suppose I'm in my fearless era.
27:15What year are you in?
27:18I don't know.
27:18I really don't understand, like, the brat somewhere.
27:21What?
27:22I think I'm really behind.
27:24Brats?
27:24Brats?
27:25Brats somewhere?
27:26We're talking about Taylor.
27:27No, I know.
27:28I'm like, just like a change.
27:29I'm like, now is another thing.
27:30I don't understand.
27:31No, I don't get the brat.
27:33I think I've gotten a bit old or something.
27:35I think, no, it's not us.
27:37We're not old.
27:37We're young.
27:39I know.
27:40I can't even-
27:41I'm telling you now, my sister loved Brats.
27:44And I remember everything being like, oh, Brats, Brats.
27:46But we just about missed it.
27:52I think Brats was, like, peak when we were, like, fetuses.
27:57Yeah.
28:00So, it's not us, it's them.
28:08And unclench.
28:09Confusion, crossed wires, awkward silences.
28:13In the end, all that matters is how you recover from them.
28:18What?
28:20Spits out you and them, like, within the first ten minutes of a first date.
28:23You are nailing this date, pal.
28:26Now, would all your friends be dead?
28:29Uh, no.
28:31This is because it hurts me to shave.
28:34Okay.
28:35But if some lovely lady would like to be kissed and rushed, I would remove it.
28:41We're doing a switcheroo.
28:43As in what?
28:44As in, you're going back there.
28:46Oh, yeah.
28:47Killian's coming up here.
28:48Yeah.
28:48Okay, very bad.
28:49Yeah.
28:53Hello there.
28:55I'm very down-to-earth.
28:56I'm a bit of a messer.
28:58I like to laugh and joke.
29:00Like, I'd be the type of guy that would, like, hide under your bed.
29:05Hide under the bed?
29:08And scare you.
29:09Oh, my God.
29:11Seriously?
29:13Yeah.
29:16Just for fun.
29:17Just to get a bit of a laugh out of it.
29:21I think when you walk as a nurse, you probably have, like, little instruments and stuff.
29:25Like, if somebody's hiding in their bed, you're probably going to, like, stop there somebody.
29:30You know, I don't have instruments at home.
29:34Why would I?
29:35Oh, my God.
29:37It's part of your job.
29:38Like, you pick up, I don't know, different things, like, to do.
29:41Surgery and all, no?
29:42Do you think I'm Dexter or something?
29:44What does Dexter do?
29:46Is he, like, is it, like, ER?
29:48No, he kills people.
29:50Oh.
29:51This took an unexpected turn.
29:57Sorry.
29:58Can I get Mamahito to this table?
30:02I actually, I'm going to have to bring you back to your other table for you to continue your date.
30:07Oh.
30:08Okay.
30:09For real?
30:10Like, this isn't, um, speed dating.
30:14I guess.
30:16It was lovely to meet you, though.
30:19Good luck.
30:19Okay, you follow me.
30:20I'll send your date back over.
30:22Right, I'll see you.
30:24Bye.
30:29It can be hard to tell how well a date has gone.
30:33Harder still to manage expectations.
30:36Well, how did it go?
30:37How did you get on?
30:39Great.
30:41Have we had a chance to look at this?
30:42Oh, no, we haven't.
30:44Oh, yeah, I get this.
30:46Okay.
30:46No, no, no.
30:46No, I get it.
30:47No, no, you're not.
30:48No, you're not.
30:50So, would you guys like to see each other again?
30:56I had a lot of fun.
30:58I thought it was great.
30:59But I just don't feel that the spark I was looking for was 100% there.
31:04It's zero reflection on you.
31:05I do think you're great.
31:06I think we had a lot of fun.
31:07But it just wasn't there for me.
31:10Okay.
31:10Okay.
31:11That's fair.
31:12Cool.
31:12That's fair.
31:12I would have said yes.
31:14But now I'm going to say I think the spark wasn't there fully.
31:21Some couples were a lot easier to read, like Raven and Connor.
31:25Their date started sweet and just got sweeter.
31:28I normally don't like this.
31:30Well, let's do it.
31:31You know why not?
31:31Let's do it.
31:31Okay, right?
31:34That was disgusting.
31:36Do you think there's a bit of a spark?
31:39I'd like to think so.
31:40You're fine.
31:41It's okay.
31:43Would you like to see each other again romantically?
31:47Can I go first?
31:49Yes.
31:50100%.
31:50Easy yes.
31:52You know, I think you're a lovely guy.
31:55And it was so great.
31:56I can't even fake it.
31:57Yeah, absolutely.
31:57No, totally.
31:58100%.
31:59No.
31:59I'm the worst actor.
32:01I was like, I'm a bitch bitch.
32:02No.
32:03Yes.
32:04Absolutely.
32:05100%.
32:05No.
32:07No as in yes.
32:09That was fun.
32:10That was fun.
32:10I thought it was nice.
32:17What do you think is going to happen?
32:18Are we going to have like a pity fog?
32:19Oh my God, no.
32:20No.
32:21You have like 16 children.
32:23There's seven at the moment.
32:25Seven?
32:25Yeah.
32:25How would you like to do this?
32:28Would you like to see each other again romantically?
32:38Online dating, you can roll with it.
32:40But why would you?
32:41There's no substitute for the real thing.
32:44Swipe left, swipe left, swipe left, swipe right, swipe left, swipe left, swipe left, swipe
32:50It's a nightmare out there, I think.
32:52Yeah.
32:53A waste of time.
32:55Seriously.
32:55I hate them, but I just go on them for a look.
32:58Cute dog though.
32:59I'm not a texter.
33:00I don't like small talk.
33:01What's your favourite colour?
33:02I don't care.
33:03Yeah.
33:05Swipe left.
33:05I feel like I haven't had much luck.
33:08So many texts coming in, some of them can be a bit blocked straight away.
33:12Nude pictures, sleazy chat up lines.
33:16Jeez, that's kind of grim.
33:17Oh yeah, brutal.
33:17I won't send you dick pics, because I want to see the disappointment in your face when
33:22you see me, Mickey.
33:25My friends paired me to their TV, so they're like, no, no, so we're changing this.
33:29I do that with my friends as well.
33:30Tinder on the telly.
33:33Swipe left.
33:33So you know the quickest way to get someone from stop talking to you on a dating app is,
33:37hey, do you want to go for a drink?
33:39Boom.
33:39The definition of madness, isn't it?
33:41Like doing the same thing over and over again.
33:42Yeah.
33:43And expecting a different result.
33:44I wish that we could go back to when there was like social dances.
33:47Like a meet cute.
33:52What?
33:53Meet cute.
33:53Yeah.
33:56My grandparents met on a train in like, Switzerland or something.
34:00See, it can happen anywhere.
34:01But if somebody came up to me like on a bus or something, I'd be like,
34:04that was the danger.
34:06There's this great restaurant I know.
34:08They actually set you up on a blind date.
34:09Mmm.
34:11I can get you a reservation.
34:16You call it madness, but I call it love.
34:20This is my first date.
34:22However, there was one time I asked someone on a date.
34:26So we went out, and it was all right.
34:29But afterwards, I was like, there's something wrong here.
34:32Mm-hmm.
34:32So I asked on another, and she was like, yeah.
34:35But I was like, you do know what's a date?
34:36And she was like, what?
34:38Turns out, she had no idea.
34:41Oh, God.
34:42She thought we were just hanging out with mates.
34:44Oh, my God, no.
34:46Paid for it and everything.
34:48I met a guy on Tinder, and we were talking, and it was, like, really nice.
34:52And then he said, let's meet at Street 66 to have a dream.
34:55Yeah.
34:56I arrived actually early, and then 45 minutes later of the time that we say, like, man,
35:01where are you?
35:02Like, I'm here, like, waiting for you.
35:04And then he answered me immediately, and he said, actually, I'm here.
35:08Yeah, I have been here since you arrived, but the thing is, I don't look like the guy
35:11who opened the pictures.
35:12What the fuck?
35:13You don't recognize me because the pictures that I sent are from 10 years ago.
35:16What do you think is going to happen?
35:18Are we going to have, like, a pity fuck?
35:19Like, I'm going to get drunk, and I'm going to go with you.
35:21So dating in Dublin's really fun, yeah?
35:23We do.
35:26So how would this Dublin date end?
35:28How's it going?
35:29For Gabo and Kevin.
35:30I don't know.
35:33Do you think he fancied you?
35:35I think so.
35:37I'm, like, 80% sure he did.
35:39Or he could just be being nice, but I fancy him, so.
35:44So, would you like to see each other again romantically?
35:50You first.
35:53So, I know him, and I do think that we can have so much fun together.
35:58I don't think, like, maybe romantically it would be a nice style.
36:02Not your buzz?
36:03It's fun.
36:03I would not match.
36:04But you don't think I'm the fella for you, kind of thing?
36:06Yeah.
36:07No.
36:12Daters didn't always get the answers they wanted.
36:15But at least they weren't afraid to ask.
36:18So, what are you looking for?
36:19Like, serious question.
36:21Are you looking for love?
36:22Are you looking for something serious?
36:23What do you want?
36:25What do I want from that?
36:27I'm usually a bit too quick to tell, say, the yellow word in a relationship.
36:32You've planned a wedding and your groomsmen and all those things.
36:36Yeah.
36:36The only thing missing is the husband.
36:38How many kids did you like?
36:39Three?
36:40Yeah, me too.
36:40I'm ready to have babies.
36:42I literally have a folder where I'm recording videos saying, like, hi, my future kids.
36:47I want to show my babies how mum was so cool.
36:51I wanted two boys, but I actually wouldn't mind a girl.
36:54I don't know.
36:55I feel like if I had a child, I actually, like, wouldn't care less.
36:59About the child?
37:01No, about, like, their gender.
37:02Oh, right!
37:03Do you know what I mean?
37:03I donated sperm in Australia.
37:06You have, like, 16 children.
37:08Not 16.
37:08There's seven at the moment.
37:10Seven?
37:10Yeah.
37:10There's gonna be eight.
37:12I may never use my own sperm to have my own biological children.
37:16So, being able to give someone else the opportunity to have a family was just something selfless
37:22that I kind of couldn't pass by.
37:25And what's your perspective on, like, marriage and having kids and stuff?
37:28You definitely want kids.
37:29Definitely.
37:30It's not like, oh, it's something that I want to do tomorrow.
37:35But, like, if I'm gonna waste my time dating somebody...
37:37This is a waste of time, is it?
37:40I mean, it's not a waste of time if you mean what you're saying, if you genuinely want
37:44to have a family and whatever and actually move forward in your life.
37:48Mm-hmm.
37:48Like, all my friends settling down and stuff, it's definitely something I want, like, 100%.
37:51And, like, have someone I can get on with, have fun with, and, you know, build a life together.
38:00Cheers to that.
38:04I've lived on my own for years.
38:06Yeah, seen, seen.
38:07I want to be doing that taxi run to football matches.
38:11My friends are, are coaching the, you know, their sixes or, you know what I mean?
38:16That sort of stuff.
38:16I love all that.
38:17I want to meet someone that would say, come on, do you fancy doing this?
38:21They'd be like, yeah, let's, let's do it.
38:23Let's go be physically active.
38:24Let's enjoy, go kayaking.
38:26Yeah, 100%.
38:27Plenty of lakes in Calvin.
38:28Can you swim?
38:29365 lakes.
38:30We're bound to get a lake to canoe on.
38:32Have you ever been to Calvin?
38:34No.
38:34How many did you go?
38:36Would you like to see each other again romantically?
38:39Yes.
38:39Ah.
38:40Wow.
38:42Class.
38:43Boom.
38:43Here we go.
38:44Absolutely, 100%.
38:46Me?
38:46Yeah, yeah.
38:48Yeah.
38:49Your class.
38:51Perfect date.
38:52Perfect.
38:54He has the same values as me.
38:56He wants to get married.
38:57He wants to have kids.
38:59You found me that unicorn.
39:01I would never fall in love again until I found her.
39:08Now, I'm just going to pop this here.
39:10Before the end, every data would be tested in the delicate art of the pickup.
39:16How do we want to do this?
39:17All right, we'll split it.
39:18No.
39:18Yes.
39:19If you want to get a drink after, you can get me a drink after.
39:21Deal?
39:21Okay.
39:22Oh, oh, oh, oh.
39:23I cheated the heart.
39:26Should I?
39:27Yes, please.
39:28Okay.
39:28I'll get this if that's okay.
39:30Thank you very much.
39:30He may be younger, but he knows the rules of the game, huh?
39:33Yeah.
39:37I'm going to grab this if that's all right.
39:38Are you sure?
39:39Yeah, yeah.
39:39Go for it.
39:39That's really kind of you.
39:40Fuck.
39:41I'll pay.
39:42You are.
39:42I'm a big NHS member, don't I?
39:44I'm a rich bitch.
39:47I'm just going to drop this here.
39:48I'm just going to leave that for a few minutes.
39:49No problem.
39:50What minutes?
39:5115, 20, 30...
39:52Two hours, three hours.
39:54And then we'll just do the washing and then we'll do the drying.
39:57Who does the running?
40:01So I guess just going to drop that there and then I'll come back in a few minutes.
40:05What is that?
40:06Oh, okay.
40:09Are you playing dumb?
40:10What is that?
40:12I was trying to get him to pay for it all, but he said no.
40:16No way.
40:23There's no way to pre-pay the bill, is there?
40:25Any chance?
40:26We split?
40:28Yeah, sure.
40:28Why not?
40:31I'll get it.
40:32No.
40:32No, I'll get it.
40:33No, I'll get it.
40:34No, please.
40:34I insist.
40:36It was a pleasure.
40:37Thank you so much.
40:41I'll get it done quickly before.
40:43Yeah, no worries.
40:43You're dead right there.
40:44It solves all the awkwardness.
40:45Yeah, do you know.
40:46Oh, you get this, I get it.
40:47Yeah, it's like, I know, don't worry about that.
40:48It's all done.
40:49How's the company for you?
40:52Rather, rather spectacular, actually.
40:54Yeah?
40:54Yeah.
40:56I'll get it.
40:56Are you sure?
40:57Yeah.
40:58Do you think she fancied you?
41:00I'm terrible at knowing.
41:01I think so, like, she was laughing a decent amount.
41:04Have cash if you need.
41:06No, I'm not.
41:07Promise you sugar.
41:08It's the chivalrous thing to do, you know what I mean?
41:10Okay, thank you so much.
41:11I really do appreciate that.
41:12Hold on.
41:12No bother.
41:13Would you like to see each other again romantically?
41:16Yes.
41:18You're really nice, and it was really, really sweet,
41:22and I appreciate you paying for everything, and it was really lovely,
41:25but I just don't think there's anything there to explore.
41:27All right.
41:29I'm sorry.
41:30It's all right.
41:31Okay.
41:31It's how it is.
41:37Nice.
41:38Hi.
41:39I need to settle you up.
41:40Okay.
41:43How would you like to do this?
41:49Uh...
41:50Well, paper.
41:51Are you sure you don't want to split?
41:53You don't want to go half-seas?
41:55I'm getting that awkward look.
41:57No.
41:59I'm perfectly fine to paper.
42:00It's fine.
42:01Aw, thanks so much.
42:04Would you like to see each other again romantically?
42:07You go first.
42:11Uh, I would not like to see Jayla again romantically.
42:17Um, yeah.
42:19It was nice to meet you, though, Mark.
42:22Yeah, she's beautiful.
42:23Don't get me wrong.
42:23She's gorgeous.
42:24I'm not his type, though.
42:40I don't know.
42:45I don't know.
42:49I liked you, but I don't know if it's romantic.
42:51It's more like friendship.
42:53I don't know.
42:53Yeah.
42:53Yeah.
42:56I think you're an absolutely lovely guy.
42:58But romantically...
43:00Mm-hmm.
43:01...that probably, you know.
43:03I would definitely say yes.
43:05Sorry.
43:05No, that's okay.
43:07Falling on my head, they keep falling.
43:11I need a bit more of an emotional connection.
43:14You know what I mean?
43:15Yeah.
43:16If it don't resonate, it don't resonate.
43:17Exactly.
43:18Absolutely.
43:20Romantically, I'm not sure, but I would love to see you again as a friend for sure.
43:23I think we got on.
43:25That's exactly what I was going to say.
43:26Yeah!
43:29Romantically, I don't know if we, like, clicked.
43:35I don't think I'm good at reading signs.
43:38It's hard to know the difference between, like, a friendship and, like, romantic.
43:42She's beautiful.
43:43I mean, I certainly would like to see her, if it's possible, again.
43:47Because I'm free...
43:50Are you sure we don't want to go...?
43:54To the end.
43:55To the end.
43:56To the end.
43:56Okay.
44:01Would you like to see each other again romantically?
44:08Unfortunately, no.
44:11Fine.
44:12Fine.
44:15It's all right.
44:18Love can be fickle, elusive, mysterious.
44:22But you just know when two people are right for each other.
44:26It's the little things.
44:28I think you can kind of tell, because there's always that, like, touch of the hair, the leaning in.
44:36I had a good day, did you?
44:37Yeah, yeah.
44:37I did too.
44:38Yeah.
44:39You look really lovely tonight.
44:41Yeah.
44:44Are you enjoying yourself?
44:45I'm going to love that.
44:49Yeah, sometimes you just pick up on a vibe.
44:51And, uh, famous chocolate hearts.
44:54If there's just, like, synergy, like, if people are getting on well, you can just kind of feel it.
44:58I'll give you a half.
44:59Do you want a half of my ball?
45:01Jesus, that stage already is...
45:03You're made for each other.
45:06Yeah, it's that tension.
45:07You feel the sparks.
45:08It's them.
45:10And then, I'm so sorry.
45:12We have a little thing we'd love you to do.
45:14Sure.
45:15Oh, okay.
45:18Are you ready?
45:19Here, you can get up.
45:21Here's the words.
45:21You're going to have to join them.
45:23The price of my love is not a price that you're willing to pay.
45:29Love it.
45:29You cry.
45:38Oh, yeah!
45:38Oh, yeah!
45:39Oh, yeah!
45:39Oh, yeah!
45:40Oh, yeah!
45:40Oh, yeah!
45:41Oh, yeah!
45:41Do you like to see each other again romantically?
45:44If you're going to say no, you have to go first.
45:46That way I have plausible demise all day.
45:48No, you have to go first.
45:49You have to be a gentleman.
45:50Yeah, sure.
45:50I suppose I would, yeah.
45:51You suppose you would or you would?
45:54I suppose.
45:54I'm being down the middle.
45:55No, I definitely would as well.
45:58Yeah?
45:58Yeah?
45:59Yeah?
46:00Yeah?
46:01All I can say is it was enchanting to meet you.
46:09I'm definitely dipping back to court today.
46:12100%.
46:13Yes, 100%.
46:15Breaking my heart.
46:17Ditching me.
46:17Want me to stay here?
46:19Yeah, why not?
46:19Move up.
46:22Would you like to see each other again romantically?
46:26Do you want to answer first or me?
46:28Do you go first?
46:29Yeah, I would.
46:30Definitely.
46:32I would definitely, yes.
46:34If it has like...
46:36And it was enchanting to meet you.
46:44Mm-hmm.
46:46Uh...canceled.
46:47No, I'm joking.
46:52Oh, God.
46:53Here we go.
46:54Would you guys like to see each other again?
46:59Oh, yeah?
47:00I would like to.
47:02Yeah, yeah.
47:07Sweating buckets over here.
47:08Is it hot in here?
47:14This night is sparking.
47:17Don't you let it go.
47:19I'm in one night.
47:21I had a really nice time.
47:22Like, it's probably the best first day I've had in a long time.
47:25Let me ask the question.
47:26Oh, you want to ask the questions.
47:27Sorry.
47:28That is for Jo.
47:30Would you like to see each other again romantically?
47:33I would like to go on a second date.
47:36Yeah, me too.
47:37We did it.
47:38We did it.
47:38We did it.
47:39I really was drawn to him immediately.
47:41Anybody that kind of makes me lean in, I'm like, oh.
47:44No.
47:46He's a really, really good guy.
47:48Like a real, a real diamond.
47:54I would say, yeah, I'd go with no date again.
47:56No, I would 100%.
47:57I'd love to let it not just be a first date.
48:00I would, yeah.
48:01Yeah, I would as well.
48:15Do you want to come to our wedding?
48:17Thank you very much.
48:18Oh, you're welcome.
48:20Watch this space turn.
48:24Good day.
48:25You too.
48:26Have a great life.
48:27You too.
48:30Let's go for it.
48:33Hi.
48:35Tanya's future, too.
48:37Maybe his, too, but I'm not sure.
48:39There's your roses and your chocolate here for you.
48:41Oh, I forgot about that.
48:42We could go on.
48:44I'll have you flying around the floor.
48:46I promise.
