I thought the same. She definitely reminded me of someone. Or was someone I'd seen before.

Well it might be a generational thing to an extent but I do know much younger women who expect the man to pay. They wouldn't consider sleeping with a man if he hadn't at least bought dinner, maybe a present. I've said to a couple of them why not cut out the middle man and just ask them to leave the cash they'd spend on the bedside table? For some reason I'm not always popular with girls 😜

The house music fan, Lee, was it, seemed very attractive. Hannah seemed familiar from somewhere, but I couldn't think where. I'm glad they got along and saw each other again.

He was right up my street, gorgeous! I thought Hannah looked familiar but think she has the looks of a couple of actresses rolled into one. No names are coming to mind but I think it might explain why I thought I recognised her. Really pleased for them, a good match.

Olivia and the DJ guy seemed a total mismatch - he was incredibly socially awkward, and she was lacking in experience of dating. Not a good combination.

Very unfair on her I thought. Why they believed a dating novice would do well with such a socially awkward man was unkind. For what it's worth I think she handled the situation well, relaxed him a bit maybe to the point he thought he was in with a chance. Think she deserved a better match for her first date. It pointed to it being set up to fail so that he could return for another try.

It does seem like going on a show like this when you have no experience of dating at all is a bit like trying to run before you can walk. That's a lot of pressure to put on yourself.”

Think this series has been treated badly in the schedules by C4. Tuesday, then Wednesday for one week then Monday . Although the show ended with a .... Next Time it's dropped off my EPG . Maybe back after the Paralympics?

Well spotted. I am surprised the scheduling has been messed about with considering it won a BAFTA this year.

Of course she never intended to pay!

Ive missed them because of this. How did that Gorgeous girl do? The one who was into Boats, I know she was on a second show so wondered how she got on.

Gorgeous girl, the girl who built boats, you on a gee-up?
If you're on about her, go back through the thread, probably a page back there's very little traffic on here.
I didn't know the show got a Bafta, what are the viewing figures like these days, going up, going down, anyone know?
0.10 tonight/tomorrow seems there's another episode series 4, ep 11 according to my epg.
Features a Bisexual lady apparently on her first girl date, that doesn't ring any bells, so I'm guessing it's a new episode.

It wasn't a new episode tonight - it was on in November. See p145-149 on this thread (crikey, it was a busy thread every episode back then).

Recorded the episode, haven't watched it yet.
Thread might have been busier, but going back, I've read a page of posts and none of them make any sense.

Has the series finished? Its very confusing. It seems to be on a different evening each week.

If it's on very late at night then it's a repeat! A new series would be on Channel 4 around 9 p.m. i.e. prime time.

Yeh I thought the same about Hannah, she reminded me of the actress Honeysuckle Weeks

The latest series, which was interrupted to make way for the Paralympics coverage, continues with episode 5 on Monday at 10.00pm. (It is being repeated on 4Seven on Tuesday and Wednesday and on C4 again on Friday.)

This most recent episode seemed to have some good matches, which was nice.

I felt bad for Marie the teacher - she seemed really attractive and funny but with a vulnerable side, but it was lost on Devin (was that his name?). Considering he was so keen on dating a fellow teacher, you would have thought he'd at least have met her for a second date under more normal conditions to see how it went. Glad to see she's going to be giving it another go in the First Dates restaurant, anyway. I thought it was interesting that the editing of the intro montage and promos seemed to suggest that he had a real problem with her eating meat around him, when actually he wasn't all that bothered?

I'm glad the geeky DJ guy found someone on his wavelength. They seemed pretty well-suited.

The gay pairing, Philip and Simon, was really fun, and they both seemed like a laugh. It said at the end that they hadn't managed to fix up another dinner date yet, so I wonder if they ever will. I think Philip might still be too wedded to the idea of dating much younger guys.

I'm not sure the older lady will find what she's looking for - an older guy with the energy and adventurousness of a young guy. Her and the ex-roadie said they'd meet as friends, but does that ever actually happen in these situations? I'd be amazed if any of the people on the show who said they'd see each other as friends ever actually did.

The Essex-y duo at the end seemed like a good pairing, but they didn't really make much impact on me as a viewer. They were just... there.

I really love Merlin the barman. If I turned up for a date there, I think I'd happily sit at the bar and chat to him for ages.

I must have applied half heartedly about six months before I heard from them I think. I just sent an email back to say thank you but I've met someone. Didn't even get a congratulations back!

I'm only just catching up now after watching the first two episodes of the new series.

Charlie and Lorna - awwww! That boy has now made me obsessed with the hot vs crazy graph and I've taken to writing it out and now judging every girl I know on it!

Devin and Marie - Felt so so sorry for her, they seemed to get on as well and I think he slightly led her down a path during the date. He was charming and lovely and me as a viewer expected them both to jump at the idea of a second date and didn't.

Philip and Simon - Oh my gosh! For a gay couple (and gay people on here usually do my head in) they were so so funny. Loved them!
