I'd like it if they provided updates at the end, so we know if it worked out or not.

They usually do a catch up episode at the end though or of the previous ones I think?

As ever, heartwarming stuff! Just what you need in winter, post Christmas.

I like the undateables when it has people with social issues due to a medical condition such as autism or a learning disability. I mean I get that the guy going blind and the girl with narcolepsy might find it more difficult to get a date but they are surrounded by friends and seem to be quite social. Whilst I understand that their conditions might make it harder I think in the grand scheme of things I don't think they will really struggle.
The lad with Aspergers could have a real difficulty as autism is a very complex condition and I like to see how they get on. I have a son on the autistic spectrum and hope one day he will meet someone special.

I am glad, though surprised, there is another series.

I read many articles by professionals saying the programme was demeaning to those taking part and, additionally, made them akin to victims displayed in Victorian freak shows.

Being in contact with a number of individuals on the autistic spectrum, I know how lonely and acutely distressing it can be when a relationship eludes them, so who can blame them for seeking that opportunity.

However, I can tell from responses on here, that poking fun is what some viewers enjoy. I would just say to them , remember, these are vulnerable people - not freaks.
