First Dates

On Valentine's, the most romantic day of the year, 50-year-old Dave, a singer and wedding celebrant who unites couples in matrimonial bliss, hopes to find a piece of that bliss for himself. Enter Matthew, who's also 50, a single dad sporting a beard that he himself classes as a mistake. Betty, who's 23, has never had a boyfriend. Her date tonight is Robbie, a 31-year-old shoe salesman whose banter sometimes lets him down. After a slightly awkward start, they bond over past hardships as young love starts to blossom. Martin, a 66-year-old poet from West Yorkshire, has memory problems after a serious motorbike accident. Martin's date is Denise, a grandmother of six. And Martin's so inspired he writes Denise a poem on the spot. Jade is a 29-year-old artist who turns heads. Jade thinks women are 'the most beautiful thing in the world' but finds them very hard to read. Her date with Genell, a mum of one, is one of the flirtiest encounters the restaurant has ever seen.
