I just finished applying to appear on Blind Date!

Topic.

Applied on the website after watching last night's episode, been watching BD since it was presented by the late "Miss" Cilla Black back in the 80's.

"The show had a format similar to the show known in Australia as Perfect Match or in the US as The Dating Game. Three singles of the same sex were introduced to the audience. They were then asked a question by a single individual of the opposite sex, who could hear but not see them, to choose with whom to go on a date."

The classic British version of the show

And here's Jon "Don Draper" Hamm on a similar show long before he became famous....

I know the US version "The Dating Game" had a serial killer as a contestant once, when he was (unbeknownst to the producers, I hope) in the middle of a killing spree. He actually won a date with the lady, but she refused to go out with him afterwards.

And plus even on Blind Date in the UK, the couples almost never get on, but I suspect that's partly due to naff date locations in some cases.

 

[Mr Allen]

There was a couple on last week, the date they picked was fishing in Scotland! You what? I couldn't think of anything LESS romantic.

Unless you happen to like fishing and beautiful scenery

Well yeah but what if you don't catch anything? And I don't just mean Fish lol.

Then you've enjoyed the beautiful scenery at someone else's expense. Win - Win!
