Anyone else watching this programme? I love it and not just because my lovely friend is on it every week.


Cannot believe the behaviour of some people on their first date.. tonight a guy was constantly checking his phone and talking about going back to work after their lunch date. Then he insisted she answer first when they were asked if they wanted to see one other again. Despite his behaviour, she said 'yes def' and then he said 'no'. What an arse!


Someone the previous week used a calculator to work out the bill, after he'd ordered jaeger bombs but didn't fancy paying for them!

By the second time that guy checked his phone, I would have got up and walked out. On a date, phone goes out of site. Nothing says, "I have better things to be doing" than being on the phone for any reason whatsoever while in someone else's company. Total twat!


She is also a really poor judge of character not to have sussed which way he was going to decide. He clearly wants a Friend With Benefits, not a date to commit to.

I love First Dates, the staff are the icing on the cake as I love watching. The interest they have in the couples & their little asides.

The dates leave me with either a feeling warm glow of what early dates with Mr Buggie

felt like, or really, really glad that I'm well out of the dating game!

I love the staff too buggie, like hearing what they have to say about the couples. Fred Siriex is just great!


Agree I feel a warm glow when the dates go well, it is heart-warming to see but a tiny bit of me enjoys the sheer horror when they don't and it makes uncomfortable viewing.


not usually a fan of "celebrity" versions as I don't know any of them usually, watched it on Monday and was glad anthea turner gave the brush off to that ghastly city bore superglued to his mobile.

Definitely more Nunhead than Peckham - I've been to his house before for a party.

I'm not sure where the boundary of Nunhead lies (and I hasten to add I've certainly never seen "first dates"), but Nunhead green is a pretty easy walk from PR station - along Philip Walk or Scylla Rd - and Peckham Rye is approximately 5 times more useful than Nunhead station!

    • Thanks for that - none  of mine  have been Mordena - whilst vulnerable cat, think I will just take my chances… Will be having flu though - certainly not by choice - much prefer not to but in vulnerable group.. Avoided them until last year…. Luck of drawer if you are as sick as fog  or just sore arm … assume - god knows - that flu jab is same throughout country.       
    • Wow, that is what it costs for one prisoner. So they get full board and lodging, 24 hour  monitoring  in over populated prison, we are led to believe, minimum exercise, assume a tv in each cell provided - in USA it is together with wash hand basin and c toilet - some have showers as well.   Clearly this amount of money takes  into account overstretched and overworked prison officers, protection for them, counselling which is, in my opinion a bare minimum dealing with prisoners in all settings. Do if Sweden can look outside the box, why can’t we? Or are we just not bothered at all / read statistics some where that reoffending is normal and to be frank, with economy as it is at the moment re employment, cost of living and homelessness..not surprised they reoffend to get back inside - food provided, roof over your head - much better than street living, mixing with wrong crowd, trying to get roof over your head, find a job where 90 % won’t employ you as been inside..
    • @beansprout The Swedes seem to have a useful strategy with regard to offenders  which has reduced repeat offending.  I agree that prison time for minor offences is a complete waste of time. Even worse is that prisons are "colleges of crime" where inmates learn about how to be do crimes and worst of all, become exposed to drug taking. I wouldn't advocate having chain gangs as in the USA but some strategy for getting them into say manual work under supervision might be useful - especially if it came with a modest wag. This would be significantly cheaper than the £51,100 it costs per year for  keeping one in jail.
