The First Dates restaurant is
magical at Christmas.
14
00:00:25,440 --> 00:00:26,640
I don't know
what it is about everyone,
15
00:00:26,680 --> 00:00:28,680
but they are just so loving.
16
00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:29,480
but they are just so loving.
17
00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:31,520
Even Fred's happier at Christmas.
18
00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:33,320
Yeah, yeah. You can do
everything, yeah.
19
00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:34,760
Anything you want. "Do you want to
come in late?
20
00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:36,360
"You come in late." Yeah.
21
00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:38,400
I have to say, you have done a
fantastic job
22
00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:38,760
I have to say, you have done a
fantastic job
23
00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:39,960
at decorating the restaurant.
24
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:41,640
Aw. It looks incredible!
25
00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:43,520
Love is certainly in the air
at Christmas,
26
00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:44,640
and you can feel it.
27
00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:46,680
It's tantalising. It just sparkles!

00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:47,200
It's tantalising. It just sparkles!
29
00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:48,760
Now, look, all the daters,
30
00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:50,800
we have to give them
the best present that they ever had.
31
00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:52,800
we have to give them
the best present that they ever had.
32
00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:54,840
The gift of love?
I was going to say that!
33
00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:55,840
The gift of love?
I was going to say that!
34
00:00:55,880 --> 00:00:57,320
You keep stealing my lines.
35
00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:03,520
Christmas is my favourite time of
the year.
36
00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:04,080
Christmas is my favourite time of
the year.
37
00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:06,120
It's a time
when we toast to new beginnings.
38
00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:06,680
It's a time
when we toast to new beginnings.
39
00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:08,280
OK. Let's go, guys.OK. Let's do
this.
40
00:01:08,320 --> 00:01:09,320
Thanks, Merlin.

You are only allowed
in if you're on the good list.

You are only allowed
in if you're on the good list.
44
00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:17,720
But you know me,
I like naughty people.
45
00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:17,960
But you know me,
I like naughty people.
46
00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:22,040
Ho, ho, ho.
47
00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:26,360
This is Wes,
48
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:28,400
a barbershop owner from Essex
49
00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:29,240
a barbershop owner from Essex
50
00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:31,280
who's hoping he can light up
someone's Christmas.
51
00:01:31,320 --> 00:01:32,680
who's hoping he can light up
someone's Christmas.
52
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:34,720
The party isn't really a party
unless I'm there.
53
00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:35,200
The party isn't really a party
unless I'm there.
54
00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:37,240
I'd like to say that I make
people have a good time.
55
00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:37,560
I'd like to say that I make
people have a good time.
56
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:38,960
Bit like Fred, do you know what I
mean?
57
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:41,000
Just rocking around, just checking
everything's all right.
58
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:41,520
Just rocking around, just checking
everything's all right.
59
00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:43,560
Like a party concierge,
liaison person.
60
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:44,400
Like a party concierge,
liaison person.
61
00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:46,440
Where are you from?Essex.
I thought you were.Yeah.
62
00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:46,760
Where are you from?Essex.
I thought you were.Yeah.
63
00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:47,960
Oh, really? It's just the way you
were walking.
64
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:49,520
That's typical, is it? You look like
a geezer, no?
65
00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:51,400
Yeah, well, I don't know, maybe.
Are you?
66
00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:53,440
{\an8}Yeah, I'd like to be, yeah.
Can you chat up any girls?
67
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:53,960
{\an8}Yeah, I'd like to be, yeah.
Can you chat up any girls?
68
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:55,080
I'll give it a go, yeah.
69
00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:57,120
{\an8}Yeah?I think, yeah.
Can you find a way to their heart?
70
00:01:57,160 --> 00:01:57,400
{\an8}Yeah?I think, yeah.
Can you find a way to their heart?
71
00:01:57,440 --> 00:01:58,960
Yeah, hopefully.
72
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:00,960
INTERVIEWER:Can you rate yourself
out of ten for me?
73
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:01,960
I'd say a solid eight.
74
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:05,240
I was expecting higher.
75
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:07,120
I know, but you can't say that,
you look like a right BLEEP,don't
you?
76
00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:08,800
I mean, idiot.
77
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:10,560
Sorry.
78
00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:12,160
How you doing, fella, you all right?
Very good, very good.
79
00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:13,360
How's you? Yeah, good, mate, good.
80
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:15,080
Nice. What's your name? Wes.
81
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:16,800
Hello, Wes. Merlin.
Merry Christmas.
82
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:18,840
Yeah, merry Christmas to you, too,
man. What can I get you?
83
00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:19,120
Yeah, merry Christmas to you, too,
man. What can I get you?
84
00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:20,720
{\an8}I'd like a pint, please, mate. Yeah.
85
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:22,520
Handsome. Thank you.
86
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:24,600
On that side, that is a devil.
87
00:02:24,640 --> 00:02:26,640
Devil on your left side,
angel on your right.
88
00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:27,200
Devil on your left side,
angel on your right.
89
00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:29,240
And the angel's telling the devil
to be quiet.
90
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:29,720
And the angel's telling the devil
to be quiet.
91
00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:31,760
So it's your good side trying to
tell the naughty side
92
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:32,080
So it's your good side trying to
tell the naughty side
93
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:33,400
to just hush it a little bit.
94
00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:36,320
Are they anyone's faces
or are they just?
95
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:37,400
No, no, just random ones.
96
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:39,440
But I must admit, this one,
97
00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:39,920
But I must admit, this one,
98
00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:41,960
the angel looks a spitting image to
one of my best mate's wives.
99
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:44,000
the angel looks a spitting image to
one of my best mate's wives.
100
00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:44,880
the angel looks a spitting image to
one of my best mate's wives.
101
00:02:44,920 --> 00:02:46,920
Yeah, that goes down well.
102
00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:47,160
Yeah, that goes down well.
103
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:48,960
Go. Lovely, mate. Thank you.
104
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:51,000
It's nice here, innit? Oh, it's a
pleasure. Yeah, glad you like it.
105
00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:51,320
It's nice here, innit? Oh, it's a
pleasure. Yeah, glad you like it.
106
00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:53,000
What do you do? I've got a barber
shop.
107
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:54,560
You're a barber. Do you actually cut
hair...
108
00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:56,600
Yes. ..or do you just own the shop?
No, no, I cut hair as well, yeah.
You do cut the hair.
109
00:02:56,640 --> 00:02:56,920
Yes. ..or do you just own the shop?
No, no, I cut hair as well, yeah.
You do cut the hair.
110
00:02:56,960 --> 00:02:58,640
Do you reckon I'd suit a mohican?
111
00:02:58,680 --> 00:02:59,640
Maybe a mullet.
112
00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:03,600
Talk about the Christmas cracker
you want sat here.
113
00:03:03,640 --> 00:03:04,160
Talk about the Christmas cracker
you want sat here.
114
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:06,200
Blonde, short, slim, light eyes,
preferably...
115
00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:07,200
Blonde, short, slim, light eyes,
preferably...
116
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:11,000
..outgoing, funny...
117
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:14,400
..don't take herself too seriously.
118
00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:14,680
..don't take herself too seriously.
119
00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:16,160
Oh, God. Right, well, listen,
120
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:17,320
you enjoy your pint. Thanks, mate.
121
00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:19,360
{\an8}Anything you need, you give me
a holler and we'll come running.
122
00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:19,720
{\an8}Anything you need, you give me
a holler and we'll come running.
123
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:21,160
Jagers? Too early for that, innit?
124
00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:26,200
# Santa, baby... #
125
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:27,640
Ooh la la.
126
00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:31,080
Can you tell instantly
if you're into someone,
127
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:32,360
if you fancy someone?
128
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:34,360
Within like five seconds
of seeing them.
129
00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:35,880
One second I'd say.
130
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:37,920
I love your style. I love your
elegance.
131
00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:38,880
I love your style. I love your
elegance.
132
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:40,920
Thank you. How are you?
I'm very good.
133
00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:41,240
Thank you. How are you?
I'm very good.
134
00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:42,560
How are you? I'm good.
What's your name?Merry Christmas.
135
00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:44,600
Merry Christmas, indeed.
136
00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:44,800
Merry Christmas, indeed.
137
00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:47,040
Decent.
138
00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:49,080
Ready to unwrap Mr Right this
Christmas
139
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:49,880
Ready to unwrap Mr Right this
Christmas
140
00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:51,920
is 34-year-old Chloe.
141
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:52,440
is 34-year-old Chloe.
142
00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:54,120
Christmas this year would be amazing
143
00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:56,160
if I got to spend it in,
like, a cottage somewhere.
144
00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:56,480
if I got to spend it in,
like, a cottage somewhere.
145
00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:58,160
You know, like the postcard
scenario,
146
00:03:58,200 --> 00:03:59,720
surrounded by snow.
147
00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:01,760
It'd be nice to roll around in front
of a log fire
148
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:02,960
It'd be nice to roll around in front
of a log fire
149
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:04,360
with my Christmas present.
150
00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:06,760
Thank you. Where do you come from,
Chloe?
151
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:08,800
I come from Essex.
You can't find any men there?
152
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:09,080
I come from Essex.
You can't find any men there?
153
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:10,480
Not myself. Why not?
154
00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:12,520
Aw, just not very good at picking, I
guess.
155
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:12,920
Aw, just not very good at picking, I
guess.
156
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:14,560
Are you ready for your date?Yes, I
think so.
157
00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:16,320
Come with me.Thank you, Fred.
158
00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:19,120
I definitely deserve love.
159
00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:21,160
I just want someone that's got
a really great sense of humour.
160
00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:21,440
I just want someone that's got
a really great sense of humour.
161
00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:22,560
We can just travel the world,
162
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:24,600
taking the piss out of each other
and everything we come across.
163
00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:25,280
taking the piss out of each other
and everything we come across.
164
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:27,320
And I just want to have a good time.
165
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:27,560
And I just want to have a good time.
166
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:28,760
Voila.
167
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:30,440
Oh, my God. Hello. Hello, you all
right?
168
00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:31,960
How you doing? You all right? Nice

00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:03,120
So what brings you to First Dates?
377
00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:04,960

Very happy. Nice restaurant, innit?
379
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:08,560
Yeah, it's good. Fuck off.
380
00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:12,280
So how long have you

381
00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:12,680
So how long have you
been single for?
382
00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:13,960
Four or five months.
383
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:16,000
Have you been on any dates
since you've been single?
384
00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:16,720
Have you been on any dates
since you've been single?
385
00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:18,320
Yeah, I've been on a few, yeah.
386
00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:20,360
You really like being with someone?
387
00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:20,640
You really like being with someone?
388
00:10:20,680 --> 00:10:22,680
From when I was 21, I've probably
been in three relationships,
389
00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:24,600
From when I was 21, I've probably
been in three relationships,
390
00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:25,680
and probably out of all of that,
391
00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:27,320
I've probably been single
for like nine months.
392
00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:29,360
In 16 years, you've been single...
Yeah. ..for nine months? Yeah.
393
00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:30,800
In 16 years, you've been single...
Yeah. ..for nine months? Yeah.
394
00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:32,840
That is absolutely wild to me. Yeah.
395
00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:33,920
That is absolutely wild to me. Yeah.
396
00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:35,960
Take it you fall in love easy.
397
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:36,200
Take it you fall in love easy.
398
00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:37,160
Can do.
399
00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:42,080
Anyone that has ever met me
400
00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:44,120
would say I was the most
loyal person you'd ever meet.
401
00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:44,720
would say I was the most
loyal person you'd ever meet.
402
00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:46,760
Got a bit of an open heart,
to be fair.
403
00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:47,120
Got a bit of an open heart,
to be fair.
404
00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:49,160
A little bit too much at times,
I think.
405
00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:49,600
A little bit too much at times,
I think.
406
00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:50,760
Do you want to get married?
407
00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:52,680
Again? Oh, you've been married
before?
408
00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:54,160
Oh, didn't I cover that?
409
00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:55,720
I mean, I was... No, no, no,
we didn't cover that.
410
00:10:55,760 --> 00:10:57,760
No, yeah, I was married and
divorced by 30.
411
00:10:57,800 --> 00:10:58,240
No, yeah, I was married and
divorced by 30.
412
00:10:58,280 --> 00:10:59,760
Wow. Mm.
413
00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:01,320
OK.
414
00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:03,360
I don't let that many people in,
do you know what I mean?
415
00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:03,960
I don't let that many people in,
do you know what I mean?
416
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:06,000
Cos you always end up getting hurt
in the end.
417
00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:06,720
Cos you always end up getting hurt
in the end.
418
00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:08,520
Hence the bravado
and the show all the time.
419
00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:11,960
INTERVIEWER:Have you ever been
cheated on?
420
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:13,480
No comment.
421
00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:15,520
But I think you can take
the answer to that one.
422
00:11:15,560 --> 00:11:15,840
But I think you can take
the answer to that one.
423
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:18,960
I don't agree with all that cheating
malarkey and that,
424
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:20,240
that ain't a bit of me.
425
00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:21,480
Why would you do something
to someone
426
00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:22,640
that you wouldn't
want done to yourself?
427
00:11:22,680 --> 00:11:23,840
I just don't think it's nice.
428
00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:27,720
But yourself?
429
00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:29,800
So I was in relationships,
430
00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:31,400
like, long-term relationships back
to back
431
00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:33,440
from when I was, like,
16 till I was 26.
432
00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:33,760
from when I was, like,
16 till I was 26.
433
00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:35,800
Yeah. And I had, like,
a few traumatic experiences.
434
00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:37,240
Yeah. And I had, like,
a few traumatic experiences.
435
00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:39,280
Oh, darling. And then, it's all
right. Is what it is. Life, innit?
436
00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:40,240
Oh, darling. And then, it's all
right. Is what it is. Life, innit?
437
00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:41,880
It is life.
438
00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:43,440
I've had boyfriends here and there,
439
00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:45,480
and each one of them taught me
440
00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:46,120
and each one of them taught me
441
00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:48,160
exactly what I don't want in a
partner.
442
00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:48,400
exactly what I don't want in a
partner.
443
00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:51,040
I just want it to be easy.
444
00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:55,560
Just someone honest.
445
00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:56,560
Sorry.
446
00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:00,240
INTERVIEWER:Is that cos you felt
like they weren't before?
447
00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:03,000
Yeah.
448
00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:05,040
I've never been in a rush
to meet anyone. Yeah, yeah.
449
00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:05,360
I've never been in a rush
to meet anyone. Yeah, yeah.
450
00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:07,400
I just want to find the right
person. Yeah, to enjoy life with.
451
00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:07,720
I just want to find the right
person. Yeah, to enjoy life with.
452
00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:09,320
Yeah. And the people that I've met
since then
453
00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:10,840
have just not been the right
people. It's not worked.
454
00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:12,200
I mean, I've been engaged before.
455
00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:13,760
Have you?
456
00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:15,800
We lived together, we bought a
house.
457
00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:16,120
We lived together, we bought a
house.
458
00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:18,160
And it turned out he lived a double
life.
459
00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:18,480
And it turned out he lived a double
life.
460
00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:20,520
He was actually engaged
to someone else as well?
461
00:12:20,560 --> 00:12:20,880
He was actually engaged
to someone else as well?
462
00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:22,920
And it was like a movie, basically.
463
00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:23,200
And it was like a movie, basically.
464
00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:24,840
It almost feels like it didn't
happen to me...
465
00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:28,920
..but obviously it did.
466
00:12:30,680 --> 00:12:32,680
But yeah, so that's why I find it
really hard to trust people.
467
00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:33,680
But yeah, so that's why I find it
really hard to trust people.
468
00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:37,760
So it's been eight years
469
00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:38,040
So it's been eight years
470
00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:39,840
that I've not had a long-term
relationship.
471
00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:41,880
Shut up. I know, it's a long time.
472
00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:42,520
Shut up. I know, it's a long time.
473
00:12:42,560 --> 00:12:44,560
Aw, bless you. It's all right, I'll
find it.
474
00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:45,680
Aw, bless you. It's all right, I'll
find it.
475
00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:47,720
But that's all I want in life.
Yeah. I just want to have some fun.
476
00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:48,960
But that's all I want in life.
Yeah. I just want to have some fun.
477
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:50,680
Someone... Yeah, yeah, live. Live
a little.
478
00:12:52,560 --> 00:12:54,320
I'm having a really good time. Yeah,
me too.
479
00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:56,360
I'm having a much better time than
I thought I was going to have.
480
00:12:56,400 --> 00:12:58,400
Good. The thing I was most worried
about was the after bit.
481
00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:00,440
Good. The thing I was most worried
about was the after bit.
482
00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:01,520
Good. The thing I was most worried
about was the after bit.
483
00:13:01,560 --> 00:13:03,560
You know, like, if you don't fancy
someone.
484
00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:03,880
You know, like, if you don't fancy
someone.
485
00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:05,920
Yeah, I know, yeah, yeah. How do you
let them down nicely?
486
00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:06,240
Yeah, I know, yeah, yeah. How do you
let them down nicely?
487
00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:07,960
Yeah. How are you going to let me
down, babe?
488
00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:19,440
# I don't want a lot
for Christmas... #
489
00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:20,080
# I don't want a lot
for Christmas... #
490
00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:22,120
What do you think is the most
romantic gift
491
00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:22,440
What do you think is the most
romantic gift
492
00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:24,480
you could give someone at Christmas?
Maybe you can put yourself in a box.
493
00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:25,520
you could give someone at Christmas?
Maybe you can put yourself in a box.
494
00:13:26,680 --> 00:13:28,680
I like you. I like you a lot.

Yeah, I can. Yeah, they'd be like,
"OK, she has definitely lost it."

Yeah, I can. Yeah, they'd be like,
"OK, she has definitely lost it."

INTERVIEWER:So when and where did
you meet?
523
00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:30,640
Six years ago,
524
00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:32,680
we didn't really know
what we were getting ourselves into,
525
00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:33,840
we didn't really know
what we were getting ourselves into,
526
00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:35,880
and we walked into a little
restaurant called First Dates...
527
00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:37,000
and we walked into a little
restaurant called First Dates...
528
00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:39,040
Yeah. ..and something pretty magic
happened.
529
00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:39,360
Yeah. ..and something pretty magic
happened.
530
00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:40,680
Good afternoon. How are you?

538
00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:55,280
It was absolutely crazy,
to be honest. Yeah.
539
00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:57,120
I just wish I could go back to that
moment
540
00:14:57,160 --> 00:14:59,000
and just bottle it all up. Yeah.
541
00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:00,680
Still pinch ourselves? Yeah, yeah.
CINDY LAUGHS
542
00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:01,760
We're very grateful.
543
00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:04,560
So what's your type of guy, then?
544
00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:05,600
What do you usually go for?
545
00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:08,800
Looks-wise, khaki shirt.
546
00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:09,080
Looks-wise, khaki shirt.
547
00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:10,360
No.
THEY LAUGH
548
00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:11,800
I like sort of like olive skin.

00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:12,960
Like Mediterranean looking. Yeah.
550
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:14,880
Like teeth are really important.
551
00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:16,920
What about yourself?
552
00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:18,840
Brunette, nice eyes.
553
00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:20,880
{\an8}Good figure, someone who looks
after themselves.
554
00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:21,200
{\an8}Good figure, someone who looks
after themselves.
555
00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:23,240
{\an8}Team Khaki. That's what it is. It's
the khaki. It's a vibe.
556
00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:24,160
{\an8}Team Khaki. That's what it is. It's

Thank you. Thank you very much.
558
00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:31,200
So where do you guys live now?
559
00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:33,240
Cindy moved to Manchester... Yeah,

560
00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:34,680
Cindy moved to Manchester... Yeah,

561
00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:36,720
Well, he proposed 18 months
after the show.
562
00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:37,040
Well, he proposed 18 months
after the show.
563
00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:39,080
So it was the fast run. Yeah. It's

564
00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:39,360
So it was the fast run. Yeah. It's
good.
565
00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:40,760
There was someone who looked
566
00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:42,200
a lot like Fred at our wedding.
567
00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:44,000
Yeah. Ah, OK.
568
00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:46,040
We had a full-size cut-out version
of Fred. Wow!
569
00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:47,520
We had a full-size cut-out version
of Fred. Wow!
570
00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:49,560
He doesn't remember it,
but he was at our wedding.
571
00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:50,000
He doesn't remember it,
but he was at our wedding.
572
00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:51,040
I had too much to drink.
573
00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:54,960
I have a question. Yes.
574
00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:57,000
The First Date baby. Yeah. Aw.
575
00:15:57,040 --> 00:15:58,200
The First Date baby. Yeah. Aw.
576
00:15:59,880 --> 00:16:01,880
We're having a little baby. Mm.
577
00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:02,560
We're having a little baby. Mm.
578
00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:04,600
Baby boy. We're so excited.
579
00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:05,760
Baby boy. We're so excited.
580
00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:07,800
We've got a present for you.
Aw. Aw, thank you.

00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:08,040
We've got a present for you.
Aw. Aw, thank you.
582
00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:11,120
Aw. Aw.
583
00:16:11,160 --> 00:16:12,920
Aw. Oh, my God.
584
00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:14,880
For a little First Dates baby.
ELAN LAUGHS
585
00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:16,920
Merry Christmas, guys.
We wish you a happy life together.
586
00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:17,520
Merry Christmas, guys.
We wish you a happy life together.
587
00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:19,400
Merry Christmas, Fred. Thank you so
much. Thank you so much.
588
00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:21,440
You've been there since the first
second, literally.
589
00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:21,680
You've been there since the first
second, literally.
590
00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:25,120
Will there be Yorkshire puddings?
591
00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:27,160
That's what we want to know,
don't we?
592
00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:27,480
That's what we want to know,
don't we?
593
00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:29,520
So we do say it comes with all the
trimmings,
594
00:16:29,560 --> 00:16:29,800
So we do say it comes with all the
trimmings,
595
00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:31,400
but sadly Yorkshire puddings
596
00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:33,440
do not fall under the trimmings.
597
00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:34,480
If I'd known this was going to
happen,
598
00:16:34,520 --> 00:16:35,960
I would've brought some with me.
599
00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:39,480
Hey, come on, let's pull. Yeah.
600
00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:41,520
We're not getting down to business,
are we? Wait, wait, we are.
601
00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:42,080
We're not getting down to business,
are we? Wait, wait, we are.
602
00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:43,920
It might be the best
pull you get tonight.
603
00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:47,440
Go on. Yay. Wa-hey!
604
00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:49,360
Oh, can you smell that? Gunpowder.
605
00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:51,400
You know what? The smell
of Hamlet cigars
606
00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:51,720
You know what? The smell
of Hamlet cigars
607
00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:53,760
was always Christmas to me. Aw.
Oh, it was. Yeah. Yeah.
608
00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:54,240
was always Christmas to me. Aw.
Oh, it was. Yeah. Yeah.
609
00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:56,280
My husband were a big smoker. Yeah?
Yeah.
610
00:16:56,320 --> 00:16:57,240
My husband were a big smoker. Yeah?
Yeah.
611
00:16:57,280 --> 00:16:59,280
We found out that he'd got a tumour
on his lung.
612
00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:00,280
We found out that he'd got a tumour
on his lung.
613
00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:02,320
Ah. But if we'd have found out
earlier,
614
00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:02,720
Ah. But if we'd have found out
earlier,
615
00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:04,760
it was a lower lobe of his lung,
616
00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:06,800
so you can take the lower lobe out,
617
00:17:06,840 --> 00:17:08,840
but it had already transferred
into his brain.
618
00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:10,000
but it had already transferred
into his brain.
619
00:17:10,040 --> 00:17:12,000
Aw. That's how we found out he was
ill. Too late.
620
00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:14,040
Too late. Too late. Yeah, it was
awful. Absolutely horrendous.
621
00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:15,360
Too late. Too late. Yeah, it was
awful. Absolutely horrendous.
622
00:17:17,120 --> 00:17:19,120
He was 57 when he died,
623
00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:19,760
He was 57 when he died,
624
00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:21,800
and he was 17 when we got married.
625
00:17:21,840 --> 00:17:22,080
and he was 17 when we got married.
626
00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:26,400
You just assume
that you'll be together
627
00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:28,440
until you're old and decrepit,
you know?
628
00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:29,200
until you're old and decrepit,
you know?
629
00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:31,240
And you don't ever think you're
going to lose either of you
630
00:17:31,280 --> 00:17:33,280
And you don't ever think you're
going to lose either of you
631
00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:34,560
And you don't ever think you're
going to lose either of you
632
00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:35,960
at such a young age.
633
00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:40,040
I'm fine. I can cope with it most
days.
634
00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:41,880
I'm fine. I can cope with it most
days.
635
00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:45,040
Some days I can't.
636
00:17:51,680 --> 00:17:52,640
Sorry.
637
00:17:55,760 --> 00:17:57,680
Well, we'd been married nearly 40
years
638
00:17:57,720 --> 00:17:59,480
when I lost John,
639
00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:00,920
cos I were thinking,
640
00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:02,960
"Ooh, it'll soon be his 40th,"
you know,
641
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:03,280
"Ooh, it'll soon be his 40th,"
you know,
642
00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:04,960
and it's something
to look forward to, isn't it?
643
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:07,000
{\an8}And then he'd gone before then.
644
00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:07,400
{\an8}And then he'd gone before then.
645
00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:09,440
{\an8}Yeah. Yeah. Oh, how bloody awful.
646
00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:10,040
{\an8}Yeah. Yeah. Oh, how bloody awful.
647
00:18:12,120 --> 00:18:14,120
There's nobody can fill
John's boots.
648
00:18:14,160 --> 00:18:14,640
There's nobody can fill
John's boots.
649
00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:15,640
That was my husband.
650
00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:19,040
The'd have to be a big pair of
boots.
651
00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:23,080
Yeah.
652
00:18:23,120 --> 00:18:24,600
He'd build anything.
653
00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:26,640
{\an8}Taught himself how
to do dry stone walling.
654
00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:27,320
{\an8}Taught himself how
to do dry stone walling.
655
00:18:27,360 --> 00:18:29,360
He built an extension on the cottage
that we had.
656
00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:30,120
He built an extension on the cottage
that we had.
657
00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:31,680
Did he? And only thing he didn't
like
658
00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:33,720
messing about with were electrics.
659
00:18:33,760 --> 00:18:35,520
I leave that alone. Yeah, yeah. Mm.
660
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:38,920
I would like to meet someone.
661
00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:40,960
I've been single for 16 years.
662
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:42,280
I've been single for 16 years.
663
00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:43,600
It's my life,
664
00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:45,640
and I've got to do it,
I've got to live it how I want to.
665
00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:47,240
and I've got to do it,
I've got to live it how I want to.
666
00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:49,280
{\an8}I know what it feels like. Yeah,
it's horrible. Mm.
667
00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:50,680
{\an8}I know what it feels like. Yeah,
it's horrible. Mm.
668
00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:52,720
{\an8}Hey, listen, there's your pressie.

{\an8}Hey, listen, there's your pressie.
Ooh.

00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:55,320
{\an8}You're going to laugh when you see
those, I tell you.
671
00:18:55,360 --> 00:18:55,960
{\an8}You're going to laugh when you see
those, I tell you.
672
00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:57,360
I didn't have a clue what to get.
673
00:18:57,400 --> 00:18:59,400
Well, it's hard enough buying for
people you know,
674
00:18:59,440 --> 00:18:59,680
Well, it's hard enough buying for
people you know,
675
00:18:59,720 --> 00:19:01,480
let alone people you don't know.
676
00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:04,200
Well done. Yes.
677
00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:05,360
Super duper. Yeah.
678
00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:07,400
That's what I have at home
all the time. Yeah.
679
00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:07,640
That's what I have at home
all the time. Yeah.
680
00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:09,840
WES:You might leave after you open
it.
681
00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:16,240
Oh, my God!
682
00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:18,280
"Giant beaver, tiny arse..."
683
00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:18,880
"Giant beaver, tiny arse..."
684
00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:20,920
Apparently, yeah. "..is a damn
funny card game."
685
00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:22,720
Apparently, yeah. "..is a damn
funny card game."
686
00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:24,760
Oh, God!
687
00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:25,000
Oh, God!
688
00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:26,720
This is lovely. Thank you.
689
00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:28,760
{\an8}I love a notebook. Oh, good.
Oh, yeah. Yeah.

{\an8}I love a notebook. Oh, good.
Oh, yeah. Yeah.
691
00:19:29,360 --> 00:19:30,920
Here, I'll just tidy this lot away.
692
00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:32,840
Oh.
693
00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:34,440
Just stop it.
694
00:19:36,360 --> 00:19:38,080
I do like a man that can cook
for me,
695
00:19:38,120 --> 00:19:40,080
and I thought maybe he could wear
the apron.
696
00:19:40,120 --> 00:19:41,080
Perfect.
697
00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:45,400
Good. You've got a funny laugh like
me.
698
00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:46,240
Good. You've got a funny laugh like
me.
699
00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:49,160
Thank you very much for that.

And when I first saw you there,
I wasn't joking or acting,

00:19:56,560 --> 00:19:58,040
And when I first saw you there,
I wasn't joking or acting,
705
00:19:58,080 --> 00:19:59,320
I wasn't ready for it.

I'm going to have to be really rude
and go to the toilet.
710
00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:09,600
No, no, you're not being rude at
all.

I don't know where I'm going.
Well, good luck.

Oh, you'll still be here, will you?

I might be. Hopefully.
715
00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:20,000
Is he going to be that small?
716
00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:22,040
When he first comes out, yeah. 54cm.
717
00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:23,040
When he first comes out, yeah. 54cm.
718
00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:25,080
Can you believe he's going
to be this tiny?
719
00:20:25,120 --> 00:20:25,360
Can you believe he's going
to be this tiny?
720
00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:26,720
I know.
721
00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:27,720
What if I cry.
722
00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:33,040
"Where do snowmen go to dance?"
723
00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:34,360
"Where do snowmen go to dance?"
724
00:20:36,120 --> 00:20:38,120
Snowballs. Yeah.
725
00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:38,480
Snowballs. Yeah.
726
00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:40,520
"What is green, covered in tinsel,
727
00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:40,760
"What is green, covered in tinsel,
728
00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:42,800
and goes, 'Ribbit, ribbit?'"
729
00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:43,040
and goes, 'Ribbit, ribbit?'"
730
00:20:43,080 --> 00:20:45,000
Well, that'd be a Christmas frog.
731
00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:46,120
"A mistle toad."
732
00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:50,080
Oh, great. I love it. Quite good
those.
733
00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:55,000
WES:How's your date going, all
right?
734
00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:57,040
Well, we're not on a normal date.

00:20:57,080 --> 00:20:57,560
Well, we're not on a normal date.
736
00:20:57,600 --> 00:20:59,400
We met six years ago on this show.
737
00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:01,440
Shut up. So we've come back,
and... Shut up, really? ..married,

Shut up. So we've come back,

Forget my date. How is your date

Yeah. Yeah? Yeah, she's all right,

Mate... Yeah. ..look where I am six
years later. I know.
747
00:21:14,360 --> 00:21:15,920
Are you going to go for a drink
after or?
748
00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:17,000
100%. Yeah?
749
00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:23,880
I've never liked these things.
Me neither.
750
00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:24,280
I've never liked these things.
Me neither.
751
00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:25,800
Let's just do it.
Just throw them out.
752
00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:27,720
{\an8}Oh, my God. Let's just be so crazy
and wild right now.
753
00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:31,320
{\an8}OK, I can't do this, actually.
I don't like this.
754
00:21:31,360 --> 00:21:32,760
No, I don't like it either.
755
00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:43,440
For 39-year-old maths teacher Bobby,
756
00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:44,600
For 39-year-old maths teacher Bobby,
757
00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:46,640
love is a numbers game.
758
00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:47,160
love is a numbers game.
759
00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:50,600
If you're looking
at my 100-plus first dates,
760
00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:50,920
If you're looking
at my 100-plus first dates,
761
00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:52,960
80% to 85% of them actually
ultimately been ended by them
762
00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:53,840
80% to 85% of them actually
ultimately been ended by them
763
00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:55,400
because they've not felt
the right vibe,
764
00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:57,440
and only two or three have been me
saying,
765
00:21:57,480 --> 00:21:58,360
and only two or three have been me
saying,
766
00:21:58,400 --> 00:21:59,560
"No, it's not working."
767
00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:01,600
Statistically, I'm a failure at
dating.
768
00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:01,920
Statistically, I'm a failure at
dating.
769
00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:03,520
Good to see you.
Yes, really good to see you.
770
00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:04,560
I'm Bobby, nice to meet you.
771
00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:05,920
Nice to meet you, Bobby.Hi, Fred.
772
00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:07,960
Tell me, what do you do for a living?
So, maths teacher.
773
00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:08,320
Tell me, what do you do for a living?
So, maths teacher.
774
00:22:08,360 --> 00:22:10,360
Are you?Yes. To be honest,
I'm a nerd, I love learning,
775
00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:10,800
Are you?Yes. To be honest,
I'm a nerd, I love learning,
776
00:22:10,840 --> 00:22:12,720
I love numbers, I love stats.
777
00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:14,760
Anything that's a bit like niche...
778
00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:15,000
Anything that's a bit like niche...
779
00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:16,200
This is for you...this is for me.
780
00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:17,640
So, have you been dating much?
781
00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:19,680
I've been single for 11 years now.
782
00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:20,080
I've been single for 11 years now.
783
00:22:20,120 --> 00:22:22,120
I think the reason I might not be
successful at dating
784
00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:22,960
I think the reason I might not be
successful at dating
785
00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:24,600
is I lack edge.
786
00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:26,360
I'm like a blunt scissor,
787
00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:28,400
getting in the friend zone far too
often.
788
00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:28,680
getting in the friend zone far too
often.
789
00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:30,160
Come with me.OK.
790
00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:31,920
I've definitely learned
to become empathetic
791
00:22:31,960 --> 00:22:33,960
and understand how women think,
792
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:34,240
and understand how women think,
793
00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:36,280
but I've just not been able
to apply it to my own dating life.
794
00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:37,640
but I've just not been able
to apply it to my own dating life.
795
00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:39,040
Enjoy. See you in a bit.OK, cheers.
796
00:22:39,080 --> 00:22:41,080
Hey. Thank you, Fred.
Hello, sir. Hello. How are you?
797
00:22:41,120 --> 00:22:41,400
Hey. Thank you, Fred.
Hello, sir. Hello. How are you?
798
00:22:41,440 --> 00:22:42,480
Very good, very good.
What's your name?
799
00:22:42,520 --> 00:22:44,080
Bobby. Bobby. Nice to meet you.
Thank you, Bobby.
800
00:22:44,120 --> 00:22:46,120
Yeah, your face is very familiar,
but I didn't know your name.
801
00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:46,400
Yeah, your face is very familiar,
but I didn't know your name.
802
00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:47,680
Yes, I'm a maths teacher,
803
00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:49,720
but I do a lot of, like, nerdy type
of things on telly.
804
00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:50,000
but I do a lot of, like, nerdy type
of things on telly.
805
00:22:50,040 --> 00:22:51,640
Ah, there you go. Which one's?
806
00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:53,680
Got my sort of lucky break doing
University Challenge.
807
00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:54,720
Got my sort of lucky break doing
University Challenge.
808
00:22:54,760 --> 00:22:56,760
I was a captain of my Cambridge team
about six, seven years back.
809
00:22:56,800 --> 00:22:57,280
I was a captain of my Cambridge team
about six, seven years back.
810
00:22:57,320 --> 00:22:59,320
Oh, it's probably that. Yeah. Yeah.
811
00:22:59,360 --> 00:22:59,600
Oh, it's probably that. Yeah. Yeah.
812
00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:00,680
And why are you single?
813
00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:03,960
Clearly, I'm just terrible at
dating.
814
00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:04,360
Clearly, I'm just terrible at
dating.
815
00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:05,640
I think I've probably been on,
816
00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:07,600
it must be like 100 first dates, I
reckon.
817
00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:09,200
Seriously?! Yeah. That many?
818
00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:10,880
And what's the probabilities
of actually being single
819
00:23:10,920 --> 00:23:12,000
after 100 first dates?
820
00:23:12,040 --> 00:23:14,040
It's slim. Yeah.
821
00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:14,360
It's slim. Yeah.
822
00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:16,400
I'm looking for a woman who is
really kind, open hearted.
823
00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:18,440
I'm looking for a woman who is
really kind, open hearted.
824
00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:18,720
I'm looking for a woman who is
really kind, open hearted.
825
00:23:18,760 --> 00:23:20,480
I would like someone that's curious.
826
00:23:20,520 --> 00:23:22,520
If someone's saying, aw,
they hate learning about the world
827
00:23:22,560 --> 00:23:23,040
If someone's saying, aw,
they hate learning about the world
828
00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:25,080
and books and documentaries
and podcasts, then it wouldn't work.
829
00:23:25,120 --> 00:23:26,200
and books and documentaries
and podcasts, then it wouldn't work.
830
00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:27,760
But they've got to be someone that's
open to learning.
831
00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:34,160
Hello.
832
00:23:37,120 --> 00:23:39,120
Hoping to cure Bobby's heartache this
Christmas
833
00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:40,240
Hoping to cure Bobby's heartache this
Christmas
834
00:23:40,280 --> 00:23:42,280
is 31-year-old doctor, Rebecca.
835
00:23:42,320 --> 00:23:43,600
is 31-year-old doctor, Rebecca.
836
00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:44,920
When people find out I'm a doctor,
837
00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:46,960
I'm always asked for medical advice.
838
00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:48,120
On one of my dates,
839
00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:49,440
they immediately pulled out their
phone
840
00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:50,880
and showed me a rash.
841
00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:52,320
Didn't tell me where,
842
00:23:52,360 --> 00:23:53,800
but I'll be honest,
I didn't really want to know.
843
00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:57,200
INTERVIEWER:Did you get a second
date?
844
00:23:57,240 --> 00:23:58,840
I didn't give them a second date.
845
00:24:00,120 --> 00:24:02,120
Hello, how are you?Hello.
I'm all right, thank you.
846
00:24:02,160 --> 00:24:02,480
Hello, how are you?Hello.
I'm all right, thank you.
847
00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:04,160
What's your name?It's Rebecca.
848
00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:05,960
Rebecca. What do you do, Rebecca?
849
00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:08,000
I'm a doctor. Are you?Yeah.
850
00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:08,360
I'm a doctor. Are you?Yeah.
851
00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:10,240
I would love to find someone
852
00:24:10,280 --> 00:24:12,280
who at Christmas could cook the
Christmas dinner
853
00:24:12,320 --> 00:24:12,560
who at Christmas could cook the
Christmas dinner
854
00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:13,880
cos I'm rubbish at it.
855
00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:15,680
So you're ready to meet your date?
I think so.
856
00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:17,400
OK, let's go.
857
00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:19,040
I know it's such a cliche for
everyone to say,
858
00:24:19,080 --> 00:24:20,240
"It's not about looks."
859
00:24:20,280 --> 00:24:22,280
For me, it's really more about who
they are.
860
00:24:22,320 --> 00:24:22,640
For me, it's really more about who
they are.
861
00:24:22,680 --> 00:24:24,680
Here we are.Hi! Oh, hi. I'm Becky.
862
00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:25,320
Here we are.Hi! Oh, hi. I'm Becky.
863
00:24:25,360 --> 00:24:26,680
Hey, Becky. Hey.
864
00:24:26,720 --> 00:24:28,040
Ooh. Ooh. Sorry.
865
00:24:28,080 --> 00:24:30,080
The chairs are really high... Nice
to meet you. ..aren't they? Right.
Hi.
866
00:24:30,120 --> 00:24:30,600
The chairs are really high... Nice
to meet you. ..aren't they? Right.
Hi.
867
00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:32,640
I'm hoping for someone who's kind
and ambitious,
868
00:24:32,680 --> 00:24:33,600
I'm hoping for someone who's kind
and ambitious,
869
00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:35,640
and honesty is one of
my key things I'm looking for.
870
00:24:35,680 --> 00:24:36,720
and honesty is one of
my key things I'm looking for.
871
00:24:36,760 --> 00:24:38,720
Would you like a drink?
Ooh, can I be difficult?
872
00:24:38,760 --> 00:24:40,720
So I love elderflower
and something fruity.
873
00:24:40,760 --> 00:24:42,760
Is there... Right. ..something you'd
recommend for that? Yes, I can do.
874
00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:43,000
Is there... Right. ..something you'd
recommend for that? Yes, I can do.
875
00:24:44,280 --> 00:24:46,280
You look very smart. Is that
a Christmas jumper, is it? Yeah, no,
876
00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:46,600
You look very smart. Is that
a Christmas jumper, is it? Yeah, no,
877
00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:48,640
but it's like, I was tempted to wear
an elf jumper,
878
00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:49,360
but it's like, I was tempted to wear
an elf jumper,
879
00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:51,400
but that might be too much. This is
like... You've toned it down.
880
00:24:51,440 --> 00:24:51,680
but that might be too much. This is
like... You've toned it down.
881
00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:52,440
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
882
00:24:53,800 --> 00:24:54,920
How big is your family?
883
00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:56,440
I've got three brothers.
884
00:24:56,480 --> 00:24:57,920
How about you, where's your?
885
00:24:57,960 --> 00:24:59,040
I've got a brother.
886
00:24:59,080 --> 00:25:01,080
Older, younger?
He's four years younger.
887
00:25:01,120 --> 00:25:01,400
Older, younger?
He's four years younger.
888
00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:03,440
But now I say he's probably a little
bit more sensible than me.
889
00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:04,320
But now I say he's probably a little
bit more sensible than me.
890
00:25:04,360 --> 00:25:05,640
He's often the one who's kind
of picking up...
891
00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:06,920
Ah. ..what I've dropped and things.
892
00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:08,400
I think I might be similar.
REBECCA LAUGHS
893
00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:10,200
So maybe if you do the clumsy thing,
894
00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:12,240
I can... You can catch it.
There you go. Yeah.
895
00:25:12,280 --> 00:25:12,560
I can... You can catch it.
There you go. Yeah.
896
00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:14,600
On the lookout. Although it might be
me accidentally tripping you up.
897
00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:15,320
On the lookout. Although it might be
me accidentally tripping you up.
898
00:25:15,360 --> 00:25:17,360
Oh no. Be like a rom com, right?
Yeah.
899
00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:18,120
Oh no. Be like a rom com, right?
Yeah.
900
00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:19,240
Are you a fan of rom coms?
901
00:25:19,280 --> 00:25:20,760
I love rom coms.
902
00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:22,360
I don't think you can get better
than that, to be fair.
903
00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:24,280
Which is your favourite? Ooh.
904
00:25:24,320 --> 00:25:26,320
Four Weddings and a Funeral I quite
like. Ooh. Can I confess?
905
00:25:26,360 --> 00:25:27,000
Four Weddings and a Funeral I quite
like. Ooh. Can I confess?
906
00:25:27,040 --> 00:25:28,200
Never seen that one.
907
00:25:28,240 --> 00:25:29,680
I think I know bits of the plot.
908
00:25:29,720 --> 00:25:30,880
Yeah. Is it the same one as...
909
00:25:33,440 --> 00:25:35,440
Is it A Baby and Four Weddings?
910
00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:35,640
Is it A Baby and Four Weddings?
911
00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:38,480
Four Babies and a Wedding? No.
912
00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:40,520
Was it A Funeral...A Wedding and
a...
913
00:25:40,560 --> 00:25:41,200
Was it A Funeral...A Wedding and
a...
914
00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:44,080
I remember early dates,
915
00:25:44,120 --> 00:25:46,120
if it went badly,
I'd text them afterwards,
916
00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:46,440
if it went badly,
I'd text them afterwards,
917
00:25:46,480 --> 00:25:48,480
says, "Do you mind giving me a bit
of feedback?"
918
00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:48,840
says, "Do you mind giving me a bit
of feedback?"
919
00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:50,080
And some of them would give me
feedback,
920
00:25:50,120 --> 00:25:52,120
but I realise now that's
not probably the best thing to do.
921
00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:52,960
but I realise now that's
not probably the best thing to do.
922
00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:55,000
A Funeral and a Baby.
What's that one? No.
923
00:25:55,040 --> 00:25:55,240
A Funeral and a Baby.
What's that one? No.
924
00:25:56,600 --> 00:25:57,960
Is that like a sequel to that?
925
00:25:58,000 --> 00:25:59,440
No. Ah.
926
00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:16,800
"What do you call a Frenchman
wearing sandals?
927
00:26:16,840 --> 00:26:17,080
"What do you call a Frenchman
wearing sandals?
928
00:26:18,440 --> 00:26:19,400
"Philippe Philoppe."
929
00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:21,440
I don't get it.
930
00:26:23,800 --> 00:26:25,800
"How does good King Wenceslas
like his pizzas?
931
00:26:25,840 --> 00:26:26,760
"How does good King Wenceslas
like his pizzas?
932
00:26:28,280 --> 00:26:30,120
"Deep pan, crisp and even."
933
00:26:33,280 --> 00:26:34,240
That's awful.
934
00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:38,240
So are you Wes, is it Wesley?
Wesley, yeah. OK.
935
00:26:38,280 --> 00:26:38,760
So are you Wes, is it Wesley?
Wesley, yeah. OK.
936
00:26:38,800 --> 00:26:40,040
W-E-S-L-E-Y.
937
00:26:40,080 --> 00:26:41,640
Oh, it's good to know the spelling.
938
00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:43,320
{\an8}I would've written it on your
present before,
939
00:26:43,360 --> 00:26:45,200
{\an8}cos I didn't know what your name
was. Yeah, I know, no, it's like...
940
00:26:45,240 --> 00:26:46,760
I was going to write something.
"Random."
941
00:26:46,800 --> 00:26:47,760
I was going to write, "Random."
942
00:26:49,600 --> 00:26:51,600
I was trying to think of what to put
on there. "Happy date, random."
943
00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:52,000
I was trying to think of what to put
on there. "Happy date, random."
944
00:26:53,840 --> 00:26:55,840
INTERVIEWER:What did you think when
you walked in and saw him?
945
00:26:55,880 --> 00:26:56,640
INTERVIEWER:What did you think when
you walked in and saw him?
946
00:26:56,680 --> 00:26:58,200
I just saw his cheesy grin,
947
00:26:58,240 --> 00:26:59,600
and thought, "Oh, God, here we go."
948
00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:04,520
What, you're going to make me
literally? Yeah.
949
00:27:07,160 --> 00:27:08,840
Is she girlfriend material?
950
00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:10,880
I'd probably say wife material,
to be honest with you.
951
00:27:10,920 --> 00:27:11,200
I'd probably say wife material,
to be honest with you.
952
00:27:11,240 --> 00:27:12,920
I thought she's
unbelievably attractive,
953
00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:14,960
and she's more than I expected.
954
00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:15,360
and she's more than I expected.
955
00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:17,120
Oh, fuck, it's my taxi.
956
00:27:17,160 --> 00:27:19,160
Oh, shut up.
957
00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:21,200
I'll cancel it. Don't worry, mate,
it's all right.
958
00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:21,480
I'll cancel it. Don't worry, mate,
it's all right.
959
00:27:21,520 --> 00:27:22,640
I don't need you now, it's fine. OK.
960
00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:23,760
Yeah, she's actually all right.
961
00:27:23,800 --> 00:27:25,720
Yeah.
THEY LAUGH
962
00:27:28,720 --> 00:27:29,880
You going to see each other again?
963
00:27:29,920 --> 00:27:31,840
Obviously, yeah.
964
00:27:31,880 --> 00:27:33,080
Maybe.
965
00:27:33,120 --> 00:27:34,800
No, we will.
966
00:27:34,840 --> 00:27:36,840
I was going to say, "Who are you
kidding?"
967
00:27:36,880 --> 00:27:37,080
I was going to say, "Who are you
kidding?"
968
00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:39,880
Bit late to play hard to get now.
969
00:27:42,840 --> 00:27:44,120
Do you want some more water?
970
00:27:44,160 --> 00:27:46,160
Yes, darling, please.
971
00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:46,400
Yes, darling, please.
972
00:27:46,440 --> 00:27:47,920
Thanks.
973
00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:49,960
{\an8}That was smooth. It was. Well done.
974
00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:50,200
{\an8}That was smooth. It was. Well done.
975
00:27:50,240 --> 00:27:51,280
You done well there, didn't you?
976
00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:53,320
I don't think it could've gone any
better, to be honest with you.
977
00:27:53,360 --> 00:27:55,360
You're a good Christmas present.
Thank you.
978
00:27:55,400 --> 00:27:55,600
You're a good Christmas present.
Thank you.
979
00:27:56,760 --> 00:27:58,160
Cheers, babe. Cheers, darling.
980
00:27:58,200 --> 00:27:59,280
Thank you. Thank you.
981
00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:02,440
His smile was the thing
that did it to start with.
982
00:28:02,480 --> 00:28:04,000
His smile was the thing
that did it to start with.
983
00:28:04,040 --> 00:28:05,400
Personality was average though,
innit?
984
00:28:05,440 --> 00:28:06,920
Yeah, yeah. Yeah.
985
00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:07,920
The bill.
986
00:28:11,360 --> 00:28:12,320
Merry Christmas.
987
00:28:13,400 --> 00:28:14,360
Don't.
988
00:28:15,840 --> 00:28:17,840
Aha. Very gentlemen.
THEY LAUGH
989
00:28:17,880 --> 00:28:19,040
Aha. Very gentlemen.
THEY LAUGH
990
00:28:19,080 --> 00:28:20,040
Thank you. It's all right.
991
00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:34,000
Are you still enjoying
or you're all finished here?
992
00:28:34,040 --> 00:28:34,320
Are you still enjoying
or you're all finished here?
993
00:28:34,360 --> 00:28:36,080
I think... I think we've done
this... Yeah. ..course, haven't we?
994
00:28:36,120 --> 00:28:37,280
Yeah. Do you know?
995
00:28:37,320 --> 00:28:39,320
Tonight, I might have a Christmas
pudding.
996
00:28:39,360 --> 00:28:39,720
Tonight, I might have a Christmas
pudding.
997
00:28:39,760 --> 00:28:41,520
# Oh, bring us some figgy pudding
998
00:28:41,560 --> 00:28:43,440
# La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
999
00:28:43,480 --> 00:28:45,200
# So leave it right here
La, la, la, la, la
1000
00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:47,240
# We won't go until we get some
We won't go until we get some
1001
00:28:47,280 --> 00:28:47,560
# We won't go until we get some
We won't go until we get some
1002
00:28:47,600 --> 00:28:49,120
# We won't go until we get some
We won't go until we get some
1003
00:28:49,160 --> 00:28:50,760
# We won't go until we get some
We won't go until we get some
1004
00:28:50,800 --> 00:28:52,760
# So bring it right here.
So bring it right here. #
1005
00:28:52,800 --> 00:28:54,360
All right, sound, sir. Thank you very
much.
1006
00:28:54,400 --> 00:28:56,400
I expect it to be blazing
with brandy.
1007
00:28:56,440 --> 00:28:56,800
I expect it to be blazing
with brandy.
1008
00:28:58,160 --> 00:28:59,520
What you laughing at? You.
1009
00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:00,560
That's what you do.
1010
00:29:01,800 --> 00:29:02,800
Oh, dear.
1011
00:29:04,320 --> 00:29:06,040
What keeps you busy
Monday to Friday?
1012
00:29:06,080 --> 00:29:08,040
So I'm a doctor. Mm.
1013
00:29:08,080 --> 00:29:09,480
I've just finished my GP training.
1014
00:29:09,520 --> 00:29:11,000
Aw, congratulations. Thank you.
1015
00:29:11,040 --> 00:29:13,040
I literally start a new job
in a couple of weeks.
1016
00:29:13,080 --> 00:29:13,880
I literally start a new job
in a couple of weeks.
1017
00:29:13,920 --> 00:29:15,600
I'm a maths teacher,
that's like my main...
1018
00:29:15,640 --> 00:29:17,000
Ah, are you? OK.
1019
00:29:17,040 --> 00:29:18,200
How long have you been doing that?
1020
00:29:18,240 --> 00:29:20,240
Approaching ten years. OK.
1021
00:29:20,280 --> 00:29:20,480
Approaching ten years. OK.
1022
00:29:20,520 --> 00:29:21,440
So what age are you now,
1023
00:29:21,480 --> 00:29:23,080
{\an8}if you don't mind me asking? Ooh,
I'm 39.
1024
00:29:23,120 --> 00:29:25,040
How about you, Bec? I'm 31.
1025
00:29:25,080 --> 00:29:26,480
Oh. Both of us are not prime.
1026
00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:28,520
You're a prime number.
39 is not cos 13 times three.
1027
00:29:28,560 --> 00:29:29,720
You're a prime number.
39 is not cos 13 times three.
1028
00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:33,000
Bad date chat. OK. Get rid of
that chat.
1029
00:29:33,040 --> 00:29:34,440
Bad date chat. OK. Get rid of
that chat.
1030
00:29:34,480 --> 00:29:36,520
I love the certainty of numbers,
1031
00:29:36,560 --> 00:29:38,560
because if I look at an equation
or a problem or a sum,
1032
00:29:38,600 --> 00:29:39,880
because if I look at an equation
or a problem or a sum,
1033
00:29:39,920 --> 00:29:41,680
someone else in another part
of the world,
1034
00:29:41,720 --> 00:29:43,520
they'll come to the same answer.
1035
00:29:43,560 --> 00:29:45,560
But dating, there's that je ne sais
quoi,
1036
00:29:45,600 --> 00:29:45,880
But dating, there's that je ne sais
quoi,
1037
00:29:45,920 --> 00:29:46,840
something that you can't
quite predict.
1038
00:29:46,880 --> 00:29:48,320
It's just if it works, it works,
1039
00:29:48,360 --> 00:29:50,360
and you can't
quite put your finger on it.
1040
00:29:50,400 --> 00:29:50,680
and you can't
quite put your finger on it.
1041
00:29:50,720 --> 00:29:52,720
OK. Are you ready
for your Christmas dinner?
1042
00:29:52,760 --> 00:29:53,000
OK. Are you ready
for your Christmas dinner?
1043
00:29:53,040 --> 00:29:54,720
Yes. Ooh, thank you. But of course.
1044
00:29:54,760 --> 00:29:56,160
Comes with all the trimmings.
1045
00:29:56,200 --> 00:29:58,200
Wow. Yeah. Enjoy, guys.
1046
00:29:58,240 --> 00:29:58,480
Wow. Yeah. Enjoy, guys.
1047
00:29:58,520 --> 00:30:00,320
Thank you. Merry Christmas.
Thank you.
1048
00:30:01,560 --> 00:30:03,560
Do you mind if I start?
Of course you can. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
1049
00:30:03,600 --> 00:30:03,880
Do you mind if I start?
Of course you can. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
1050
00:30:03,920 --> 00:30:05,040
Jacket off? Yeah.
1051
00:30:05,080 --> 00:30:07,000
Yeah, then we can see the Christmas
jumper in all your glory.
1052
00:30:07,040 --> 00:30:08,000
Yeah, exactly.
1053
00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:10,360
Do you still live at home?
1054
00:30:10,400 --> 00:30:12,400
No, I live in...I lived with my
parents
1055
00:30:12,440 --> 00:30:12,680
No, I live in...I lived with my
parents
1056
00:30:12,720 --> 00:30:14,360
for quite a long time actually.
1057
00:30:14,400 --> 00:30:16,400
Mm-hm. In Indian communities,
traditionally,
1058
00:30:16,440 --> 00:30:18,440
{\an8}people used to historically leave
when they got married.
1059
00:30:18,480 --> 00:30:19,320
{\an8}people used to historically leave
when they got married.
1060
00:30:19,360 --> 00:30:21,360
But my parents were like,
1061
00:30:21,400 --> 00:30:21,640
But my parents were like,
1062
00:30:21,680 --> 00:30:23,480
"You're not getting married,
just leave,"
1063
00:30:23,520 --> 00:30:24,680
in the nicest possible way.
1064
00:30:24,720 --> 00:30:26,000
{\an8}Going like, "Oh, actually, if you
leave,
1065
00:30:26,040 --> 00:30:27,680
{\an8}"you might actually be more likely
to meet someone
1066
00:30:27,720 --> 00:30:29,720
"rather than being at home."
1067
00:30:29,760 --> 00:30:31,040
My parents are very proud of me
1068
00:30:31,080 --> 00:30:33,080
because they've helped raise me,
1069
00:30:33,120 --> 00:30:33,400
because they've helped raise me,
1070
00:30:33,440 --> 00:30:35,000
they've helped give me my knowledge,
1071
00:30:35,040 --> 00:30:37,040
my love for the world,
my enthusiasm.
1072
00:30:37,080 --> 00:30:37,440
my love for the world,
my enthusiasm.
1073
00:30:37,480 --> 00:30:39,120
But if they're looking at like
1074
00:30:39,160 --> 00:30:41,080
they've finished their job on
Bobby,
1075
00:30:41,120 --> 00:30:43,120
I think they probably feel
that the one missing box
1076
00:30:43,160 --> 00:30:44,120
I think they probably feel
that the one missing box
1077
00:30:44,160 --> 00:30:46,160
is Bobby meeting a partner
and settling down.
1078
00:30:46,200 --> 00:30:46,440
is Bobby meeting a partner
and settling down.
1079
00:30:46,480 --> 00:30:47,600
That's the one thing
1080
00:30:47,640 --> 00:30:49,640
I feel as if they feel as if they've
messed up on their scorecard.
1081
00:30:49,680 --> 00:30:51,040
I feel as if they feel as if they've
messed up on their scorecard.
1082
00:30:51,080 --> 00:30:53,000
What's your opinion on the spark?
1083
00:30:53,040 --> 00:30:55,040
I personally don't believe in
the whole love-at-first-sight thing.
1084
00:30:55,080 --> 00:30:56,560
I personally don't believe in
the whole love-at-first-sight thing.
1085
00:30:56,600 --> 00:30:58,600
I agree with you.
It's fine to have like a slow burn.
1086
00:30:58,640 --> 00:30:59,520
I agree with you.
It's fine to have like a slow burn.
1087
00:30:59,560 --> 00:31:01,560
I think you can be friends
before anything else. Yeah.
1088
00:31:01,600 --> 00:31:02,640
I think you can be friends
before anything else. Yeah.
1089
00:31:02,680 --> 00:31:04,000
You kind of have to really get on,
1090
00:31:04,040 --> 00:31:05,440
particularly at this age, right?
Yes.
1091
00:31:05,480 --> 00:31:07,480
You know, like, if we were like 18
or 20, it's...
1092
00:31:07,520 --> 00:31:08,480
You know, like, if we were like 18
or 20, it's...
1093
00:31:08,520 --> 00:31:10,360
They're going to change. Yeah,
yeah... Yeah. ..yeah, yeah, yeah.
1094
00:31:10,400 --> 00:31:12,040
So... Prefrontal cortex is not
developed.
1095
00:31:12,080 --> 00:31:13,880
Right. Make very bad decisions.
1096
00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:15,720
Yeah, you do, yeah.
1097
00:31:15,760 --> 00:31:17,760
I think my intelligence is fun at
parties
1098
00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:19,440
I think my intelligence is fun at
parties
1099
00:31:19,480 --> 00:31:21,440
where you've got multiple
people having conversations
1100
00:31:21,480 --> 00:31:23,480
and you're looking
for interesting anecdotes.
1101
00:31:23,520 --> 00:31:23,800
and you're looking
for interesting anecdotes.
1102
00:31:23,840 --> 00:31:25,280
Maybe you're on a date it might be
overwhelming
1103
00:31:25,320 --> 00:31:27,320
if someone is just spitting out
facts
1104
00:31:27,360 --> 00:31:27,600
if someone is just spitting out
facts
1105
00:31:27,640 --> 00:31:28,880
and capital cities and things.
1106
00:31:28,920 --> 00:31:30,560
They're the things
that I realise don't work on dates.
1107
00:31:31,840 --> 00:31:33,040
Ooh, octagon chapel.
1108
00:31:34,520 --> 00:31:35,720
Oh, here? Yeah. This is what it is?
1109
00:31:35,760 --> 00:31:36,840
It's an octagon chapel.
1110
00:31:38,440 --> 00:31:40,440
It's beautiful. Yeah,
although when I think of octagon,
1111
00:31:40,480 --> 00:31:40,760
It's beautiful. Yeah,
although when I think of octagon,
1112
00:31:40,800 --> 00:31:42,800
I think of Ultimate Fighter
Championship.
1113
00:31:42,840 --> 00:31:43,160
I think of Ultimate Fighter
Championship.
1114
00:31:43,200 --> 00:31:44,160
They fight in an octagon.
1115
00:31:45,400 --> 00:31:47,040
Mm. Yeah, I know, this is different,
this is different.
1116
00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:50,840
I'm hoping there'll be someone
1117
00:31:50,880 --> 00:31:52,880
that is willing to give me a chance.
1118
00:31:52,920 --> 00:31:53,280
that is willing to give me a chance.
1119
00:31:57,640 --> 00:31:59,640
There is something I want
to talk about. Yep.
1120
00:31:59,680 --> 00:31:59,920
There is something I want
to talk about. Yep.
1121
00:31:59,960 --> 00:32:01,280
Do you remember the nativity play?
1122
00:32:01,320 --> 00:32:03,320
Of course.So I am 29 years old...
1123
00:32:03,360 --> 00:32:04,560
Of course.So I am 29 years old...
1124
00:32:04,600 --> 00:32:06,600
Yeah...but I am still absolutely
raging
1125
00:32:06,640 --> 00:32:06,920
Yeah...but I am still absolutely
raging
1126
00:32:06,960 --> 00:32:08,280
at the fact that I never got to play
Mary.
1127
00:32:08,320 --> 00:32:10,320
I'm still fuming. Maybe we should
do, like, a version here so I can
actually fulfil my lifelong dream
1128
00:32:10,360 --> 00:32:11,160
I'm still fuming. Maybe we should
do, like, a version here so I can
actually fulfil my lifelong dream
1129
00:32:11,200 --> 00:32:13,200
of being a Mary. Mary's one of the
key roles but she doesn't actually
have that many lines.
1130
00:32:13,240 --> 00:32:14,320
of being a Mary. Mary's one of the
key roles but she doesn't actually
have that many lines.
1131
00:32:14,360 --> 00:32:16,360
Yeah, but she's the one.
She's the it girl.
1132
00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:16,800
Yeah, but she's the one.
She's the it girl.
1133
00:32:16,840 --> 00:32:17,960
Do you know what I mean?
HE LAUGHS
1134
00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:19,760
I was one of the Three Wise Men.
1135
00:32:19,800 --> 00:32:21,800
You are a wise man.
1136
00:32:21,840 --> 00:32:22,800
You are!
1137
00:32:24,160 --> 00:32:25,640
This is incredible.
1138
00:32:25,680 --> 00:32:27,120
Wish my Christmas dinner looked like
this.
1139
00:32:27,160 --> 00:32:29,160
ELAN LAUGHS
1140
00:32:29,200 --> 00:32:30,760
I'm trying to remember
the line I gave you, babe.
1141
00:32:31,880 --> 00:32:33,800
Which one? You had a few
lines on the night.
1142
00:32:34,920 --> 00:32:36,400
I know this sounds so cringe,
1143
00:32:36,440 --> 00:32:37,600
but I can't remember...
1144
00:32:38,680 --> 00:32:40,520
Let me get this straight.
1145
00:32:40,560 --> 00:32:42,320
I can't remember the last
1146
00:32:42,360 --> 00:32:44,360
{\an8}naturally beautiful person I saw as
much as you.
1147
00:32:44,400 --> 00:32:44,720
{\an8}naturally beautiful person I saw as
much as you.
1148
00:32:44,760 --> 00:32:45,840
I know that sounds cringe,
1149
00:32:45,880 --> 00:32:47,640
{\an8}but I'm going to give you
the compliment. No.
1150
00:32:48,800 --> 00:32:49,920
You've blown me away a bit.
1151
00:32:49,960 --> 00:32:50,920
{\an8}Like, I'm not going to lie.
1152
00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:55,480
Am I still as naturally beautiful
1153
00:32:55,520 --> 00:32:57,520
with gravy dripping down my chin?
ELAN LAUGHS
1154
00:32:57,560 --> 00:32:57,760
with gravy dripping down my chin?
ELAN LAUGHS
1155
00:32:58,640 --> 00:33:00,640
When a snowman has a temper tantrum,
1156
00:33:00,680 --> 00:33:01,960
When a snowman has a temper tantrum,
1157
00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:02,960
what do you call it? Ooh.
1158
00:33:04,440 --> 00:33:06,440
Temp... Tempura. Temp...temper.
1159
00:33:06,480 --> 00:33:06,680
Temp... Tempura. Temp...temper.
1160
00:33:06,720 --> 00:33:07,800
A meltdown!
1161
00:33:07,840 --> 00:33:09,280
Aw, that's good. That's pretty good.
1162
00:33:09,320 --> 00:33:10,720
No, it's not. Don't humour me.
1163
00:33:11,880 --> 00:33:13,880
And somebody over there with
a Father Christmas hat on.
1164
00:33:13,920 --> 00:33:14,640
And somebody over there with
a Father Christmas hat on.
1165
00:33:14,680 --> 00:33:16,600
I love stuff like that. I do.
1166
00:33:16,640 --> 00:33:18,640
I leave Christmas decorations up for
too long.
1167
00:33:18,680 --> 00:33:19,720
I leave Christmas decorations up for
too long.
1168
00:33:19,760 --> 00:33:21,760
Yeah. Yeah. Me, too.
1169
00:33:21,800 --> 00:33:22,840
Yeah. Yeah. Me, too.
1170
00:33:22,880 --> 00:33:24,880
Christmas cards... Yeah? ..I sent
out two though. Oh.
1171
00:33:24,920 --> 00:33:26,560
Christmas cards... Yeah? ..I sent
out two though. Oh.
1172
00:33:26,600 --> 00:33:28,600
{\an8}This year, I sent two. Yeah, so...
1173
00:33:28,640 --> 00:33:29,000
{\an8}This year, I sent two. Yeah, so...
1174
00:33:29,040 --> 00:33:31,040
{\an8}It's been a bit funny since,
well, Nell died 18 months ago.
1175
00:33:31,080 --> 00:33:33,080
{\an8}It's been a bit funny since,
well, Nell died 18 months ago.
1176
00:33:33,120 --> 00:33:33,360
{\an8}It's been a bit funny since,
well, Nell died 18 months ago.
1177
00:33:33,400 --> 00:33:34,240
Oh, did she? Yeah.
1178
00:33:34,280 --> 00:33:35,960
How long had you been married?
1179
00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:37,000
52 years.
1180
00:33:38,760 --> 00:33:40,000
It was a type of dementia.
1181
00:33:41,240 --> 00:33:43,240
And it was quite
a quick decline this thing.
1182
00:33:43,280 --> 00:33:45,200
And it was quite
a quick decline this thing.
1183
00:33:45,240 --> 00:33:46,760
She had no appetite...
1184
00:33:49,040 --> 00:33:51,040
..and so she just withered away.
1185
00:33:51,080 --> 00:33:52,360
..and so she just withered away.
1186
00:33:52,400 --> 00:33:54,400
And I was holding her hand
when she died.
1187
00:33:54,440 --> 00:33:55,000
And I was holding her hand
when she died.
1188
00:34:02,400 --> 00:34:03,360
That's that.
1189
00:34:09,320 --> 00:34:10,280
Yeah.
1190
00:34:16,360 --> 00:34:18,360
And she just stopped.
1191
00:34:18,400 --> 00:34:19,400
Just like that, stop.
1192
00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:24,800
She was appreciative of everything
that I did,
1193
00:34:24,840 --> 00:34:26,040
She was appreciative of everything
that I did,
1194
00:34:26,080 --> 00:34:28,080
and we still chatted away there,
you know?
1195
00:34:28,120 --> 00:34:28,800
and we still chatted away there,
you know?
1196
00:34:28,840 --> 00:34:30,840
And in the last moments,
she was happy all the time.
1197
00:34:30,880 --> 00:34:32,040
And in the last moments,
she was happy all the time.
1198
00:34:32,080 --> 00:34:33,520
Yeah. Yeah, it was OK,
1199
00:34:33,560 --> 00:34:35,560
it was OK looking after her, yep.
1200
00:34:35,600 --> 00:34:35,920
it was OK looking after her, yep.
1201
00:34:35,960 --> 00:34:37,000
She was stoical.
1202
00:34:38,760 --> 00:34:39,960
Unless I'd done something wrong,
1203
00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:41,080
she was always in a good mood.
1204
00:34:43,120 --> 00:34:45,120
But I do kind of miss
being told off.
1205
00:34:45,160 --> 00:34:45,400
But I do kind of miss
being told off.
1206
00:34:45,440 --> 00:34:46,520
{\an8}Yeah, probably you do.
1207
00:34:46,560 --> 00:34:48,560
{\an8}You get used to it, don't you? Yeah!
Being told off.
1208
00:34:48,600 --> 00:34:48,880
{\an8}You get used to it, don't you? Yeah!
Being told off.
1209
00:34:48,920 --> 00:34:50,680
Women usually have higher standards,
I find.
1210
00:34:50,720 --> 00:34:52,720
Yes, yes. Dare I say, cleanliness...
1211
00:34:52,760 --> 00:34:53,800
Yes, yes. Dare I say, cleanliness...
1212
00:34:53,840 --> 00:34:55,840
Yeah. ..and how to behave in public.
1213
00:34:55,880 --> 00:34:56,040
Yeah. ..and how to behave in public.
1214
00:34:57,200 --> 00:34:58,160
Yeah. That's another one.
1215
00:34:59,560 --> 00:35:01,560
I think we all need somebody to care
for and do things for.
1216
00:35:01,600 --> 00:35:02,960
I think we all need somebody to care
for and do things for.
1217
00:35:03,000 --> 00:35:05,000
And I don't feel that just looking
after me
1218
00:35:05,040 --> 00:35:05,960
And I don't feel that just looking
after me
1219
00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:07,520
is a reason to be.
1220
00:35:07,560 --> 00:35:09,200
I think sharing things with people
1221
00:35:09,240 --> 00:35:11,240
is just so much better than
being on your own.
1222
00:35:11,280 --> 00:35:13,280
is just so much better than
being on your own.
1223
00:35:13,320 --> 00:35:13,520
is just so much better than
being on your own.
1224
00:35:14,320 --> 00:35:15,600
Am I doing all right in public?
1225
00:35:15,640 --> 00:35:17,080
Yeah. Am I behaving or?
You're doing all right.
1226
00:35:19,040 --> 00:35:20,960
Yeah. Oh. How are you?Oh. Oh.
1227
00:35:21,000 --> 00:35:22,960
Very nice to see you anyway.
Nice to see you, too.
1228
00:35:23,000 --> 00:35:25,000
{\an8}It all started very fast, flying
start...
1229
00:35:25,040 --> 00:35:25,600
{\an8}It all started very fast, flying
start...
1230
00:35:25,640 --> 00:35:27,440
Yeah, it's the same. ..sparks
were...it's the same?
1231
00:35:27,480 --> 00:35:29,160
We're flying. Have you been
flirting?
1232
00:35:31,880 --> 00:35:33,320
Have I? No.
1233
00:35:35,280 --> 00:35:36,360
No.
1234
00:35:36,400 --> 00:35:38,320
No, you haven't flirted.
1235
00:35:39,960 --> 00:35:41,960
We've just been talking about
the same things,
1236
00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:42,480
We've just been talking about
the same things,
1237
00:35:42,520 --> 00:35:44,280
and yeah. I don't know how to flirt.
1238
00:35:52,160 --> 00:35:54,160
# It's a marshmallow world
in the winter
1239
00:35:54,200 --> 00:35:55,280
# It's a marshmallow world
in the winter
1240
00:35:55,320 --> 00:35:57,320
# When the snow comes to cover
the ground
1241
00:35:57,360 --> 00:35:58,320
# When the snow comes to cover
the ground
1242
00:35:58,360 --> 00:35:59,960
# It's a time for play... #
1243
00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:02,000
So what sort of things
will you do on a typical first date?
1244
00:36:02,040 --> 00:36:02,400
So what sort of things
will you do on a typical first date?
1245
00:36:02,440 --> 00:36:04,440
So it's almost always been a kind
of a dinner, something like that.
1246
00:36:04,480 --> 00:36:06,440
So it's almost always been a kind
of a dinner, something like that.
1247
00:36:06,480 --> 00:36:08,480
Yeah. One of them I went for a walk
around a woodland,
1248
00:36:08,520 --> 00:36:10,520
Yeah. One of them I went for a walk
around a woodland,
1249
00:36:10,560 --> 00:36:10,800
Yeah. One of them I went for a walk
around a woodland,
1250
00:36:10,840 --> 00:36:11,840
but we got lost.
1251
00:36:11,880 --> 00:36:13,880
And by like an hour in,
1252
00:36:13,920 --> 00:36:14,160
And by like an hour in,
1253
00:36:14,200 --> 00:36:15,720
you know when you just get
that kind of thing
1254
00:36:15,760 --> 00:36:17,560
of actually we're not that
similar... Yeah, yeah.
1255
00:36:17,600 --> 00:36:19,160
..and I just don't see this working.
1256
00:36:19,200 --> 00:36:21,200
It just got progressively more
awkward... Aw.
1257
00:36:21,240 --> 00:36:21,880
It just got progressively more
awkward... Aw.
1258
00:36:21,920 --> 00:36:23,360
..cos then we couldn't leave.
1259
00:36:24,800 --> 00:36:26,800
I think I've been the biggest
kind of boundary
1260
00:36:26,840 --> 00:36:27,640
I think I've been the biggest
kind of boundary
1261
00:36:27,680 --> 00:36:29,400
in the last maybe couple of years
1262
00:36:29,440 --> 00:36:30,720
in terms of finding a date.
1263
00:36:31,920 --> 00:36:33,680
I find it exhausting,
1264
00:36:33,720 --> 00:36:35,720
that kind of idea of trying to
shuffle through
1265
00:36:35,760 --> 00:36:36,480
that kind of idea of trying to
shuffle through
1266
00:36:36,520 --> 00:36:38,240
all these different people.
1267
00:36:38,280 --> 00:36:39,640
Just recently went on holiday,
1268
00:36:39,680 --> 00:36:41,680
and in my head, you'd sit
down next to someone on the plane
1269
00:36:41,720 --> 00:36:42,280
and in my head, you'd sit
down next to someone on the plane
1270
00:36:42,320 --> 00:36:43,760
and you'd be reading the same book,
1271
00:36:43,800 --> 00:36:45,800
and you'd have eight hours to chat,
1272
00:36:45,840 --> 00:36:46,080
and you'd have eight hours to chat,
1273
00:36:46,120 --> 00:36:48,120
you know, and it'd be amazing,
like every rom com ever.
1274
00:36:48,160 --> 00:36:49,320
you know, and it'd be amazing,
like every rom com ever.
1275
00:36:49,360 --> 00:36:50,560
Life isn't like that.
1276
00:36:50,600 --> 00:36:52,600
But, you know, I live in hope
that might be the one.
1277
00:36:52,640 --> 00:36:52,920
But, you know, I live in hope
that might be the one.
1278
00:36:54,440 --> 00:36:56,440
What are you looking
for in a significant other?
1279
00:36:56,480 --> 00:36:57,920
What are you looking
for in a significant other?
1280
00:36:57,960 --> 00:36:59,120
Mm.
1281
00:36:59,160 --> 00:37:00,920
So I think you have to like each
other.
1282
00:37:00,960 --> 00:37:02,960
Like, as in chat and get on.
As in on a human level.
1283
00:37:03,000 --> 00:37:04,040
Like, as in chat and get on.
As in on a human level.
1284
00:37:04,080 --> 00:37:05,320
Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Exactly.
1285
00:37:05,360 --> 00:37:07,360
And, you know, like,
honesty's a big thing for me now.
1286
00:37:07,400 --> 00:37:07,920
And, you know, like,
honesty's a big thing for me now.
1287
00:37:07,960 --> 00:37:09,760
There's been some kind of trials...
Yeah. ..and tribulations
1288
00:37:09,800 --> 00:37:11,800
along the way with dating. Yeah,
yeah, yeah.
1289
00:37:11,840 --> 00:37:12,120
along the way with dating. Yeah,
yeah, yeah.
1290
00:37:12,160 --> 00:37:14,160
And it was like a very
dramatic kind of breakup,
1291
00:37:14,200 --> 00:37:15,480
And it was like a very
dramatic kind of breakup,
1292
00:37:15,520 --> 00:37:17,520
and cheating and various other bits.
Not on my half.
1293
00:37:17,560 --> 00:37:19,040
and cheating and various other bits.
Not on my half.
1294
00:37:19,080 --> 00:37:21,080
It took a long time for me to get
out of, like, a rut.
1295
00:37:21,120 --> 00:37:22,440
It took a long time for me to get
out of, like, a rut.
1296
00:37:24,360 --> 00:37:26,360
I genuinely thought he
was going to be the one.
1297
00:37:26,400 --> 00:37:27,440
I genuinely thought he
was going to be the one.
1298
00:37:27,480 --> 00:37:29,480
We talked about marriage and kids.
1299
00:37:29,520 --> 00:37:29,960
We talked about marriage and kids.
1300
00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:32,000
Honestly, it kind of just ripped me
apart
1301
00:37:32,040 --> 00:37:33,040
Honestly, it kind of just ripped me
apart
1302
00:37:33,080 --> 00:37:35,080
so I couldn't work
and I couldn't do anything.
1303
00:37:35,120 --> 00:37:36,640
so I couldn't work
and I couldn't do anything.
1304
00:37:36,680 --> 00:37:37,880
And, oh, my goodness, sorry.
1305
00:37:43,720 --> 00:37:45,520
Wow, I've talked about it a lot,
1306
00:37:45,560 --> 00:37:46,880
and that wasn't what I was
expecting.
1307
00:37:48,320 --> 00:37:50,320
He kind of made me feel like
I wasn't worth loving,
1308
00:37:50,360 --> 00:37:52,080
He kind of made me feel like
I wasn't worth loving,
1309
00:37:52,120 --> 00:37:54,120
and that's really difficult
to get over.
1310
00:37:54,160 --> 00:37:55,160
and that's really difficult
to get over.
1311
00:37:55,200 --> 00:37:57,200
You can tell yourself
that, you know,
1312
00:37:57,240 --> 00:37:58,080
You can tell yourself
that, you know,
1313
00:37:58,120 --> 00:38:00,120
you are dateable, you're lovable,
1314
00:38:00,160 --> 00:38:00,720
you are dateable, you're lovable,
1315
00:38:00,760 --> 00:38:02,760
you have the attributes
that people are looking for,
1316
00:38:02,800 --> 00:38:03,040
you have the attributes
that people are looking for,
1317
00:38:03,080 --> 00:38:04,440
you're a catch,
1318
00:38:04,480 --> 00:38:06,480
but it's really hard to believe
that.
1319
00:38:06,520 --> 00:38:06,800
but it's really hard to believe
that.
1320
00:38:06,840 --> 00:38:08,840
Because of that, I then probably am
a little bit more reserved now
1321
00:38:08,880 --> 00:38:10,800
Because of that, I then probably am
a little bit more reserved now
1322
00:38:10,840 --> 00:38:12,120
with dating and things.
1323
00:38:12,160 --> 00:38:14,160
I kind of already mentioned honesty
is a big thing. Honesty,
1324
00:38:14,200 --> 00:38:14,840
I kind of already mentioned honesty
is a big thing. Honesty,
1325
00:38:14,880 --> 00:38:16,880
I think it's like, apart from
kindness,
1326
00:38:16,920 --> 00:38:17,200
I think it's like, apart from
kindness,
1327
00:38:17,240 --> 00:38:19,240
I think honesty is maybe
the number-one trait.
1328
00:38:19,280 --> 00:38:20,120
I think honesty is maybe
the number-one trait.
1329
00:38:20,160 --> 00:38:21,880
That's like the fundamental building
block.
1330
00:38:21,920 --> 00:38:23,480
Yeah. You need trust.
1331
00:38:24,880 --> 00:38:26,280
Sorry to hear about your experience.
1332
00:38:26,320 --> 00:38:28,320
But you've come through the other
side. It's in the past now.
1333
00:38:28,360 --> 00:38:28,640
But you've come through the other
side. It's in the past now.
1334
00:38:28,680 --> 00:38:30,520
Right, exactly. You've come through.
And, you know, like...
1335
00:38:30,560 --> 00:38:32,360
Good for you.
1336
00:38:32,400 --> 00:38:34,400
Definitely looking for love.
I think I'm ready for that.
1337
00:38:34,440 --> 00:38:35,240
Definitely looking for love.
I think I'm ready for that.
1338
00:38:35,280 --> 00:38:37,280
Someone who's kind and open
and caring.
1339
00:38:37,320 --> 00:38:38,320
Someone who's kind and open
and caring.
1340
00:38:38,360 --> 00:38:40,240
You know, you walk in the door
and there's just flowers
1341
00:38:40,280 --> 00:38:42,040
because it was a nice thing to do.
1342
00:38:42,080 --> 00:38:43,520
I love that.
1343
00:38:43,560 --> 00:38:45,280
What's your worst ever first date?
1344
00:38:45,320 --> 00:38:47,320
Just the getting lost... Getting
lost with someone that's just...
..in a wood is probably not great.
1345
00:38:47,360 --> 00:38:48,200
Just the getting lost... Getting
lost with someone that's just...
..in a wood is probably not great.
1346
00:38:48,240 --> 00:38:50,240
{\an8}Yeah, that could be the start
of a rom com.
1347
00:38:50,280 --> 00:38:50,960
{\an8}Yeah, that could be the start
of a rom com.
1348
00:38:51,000 --> 00:38:53,000
Like, a couple... Get lost in
the woods. ..they get lost in the
woods,
1349
00:38:53,040 --> 00:38:53,360
Like, a couple... Get lost in
the woods. ..they get lost in the
woods,
1350
00:38:53,400 --> 00:38:55,400
and there always has to be that
moment where they're like,
1351
00:38:55,440 --> 00:38:55,680
and there always has to be that
moment where they're like,
1352
00:38:55,720 --> 00:38:56,840
it's over, it's done.
1353
00:38:56,880 --> 00:38:58,400
What's going to be
that in the forest?
1354
00:38:58,440 --> 00:39:00,360
A bear. A bear.
1355
00:39:00,400 --> 00:39:02,320
THEY LAUGH
I don't know.
1356
00:39:06,480 --> 00:39:08,480
Can Yorkshire blokes flirt? I
mean... Probably not.
1357
00:39:08,520 --> 00:39:09,240
Can Yorkshire blokes flirt? I
mean... Probably not.
1358
00:39:09,280 --> 00:39:11,280
No. No.
1359
00:39:11,320 --> 00:39:11,560
No. No.
1360
00:39:11,600 --> 00:39:13,600
Flirting? No, it's not a Yorkshire
man thing, is it, flirting?
1361
00:39:13,640 --> 00:39:15,080
Flirting? No, it's not a Yorkshire
man thing, is it, flirting?
1362
00:39:15,120 --> 00:39:17,120
I don't know. Well, all right then,
I will.
1363
00:39:17,160 --> 00:39:17,520
I don't know. Well, all right then,
I will.
1364
00:39:17,560 --> 00:39:19,040
You do look absolutely lovely.
1365
00:39:19,080 --> 00:39:20,440
{\an8}POSH ACCENT:Oh, thank you, darling.
You do.
1366
00:39:20,480 --> 00:39:22,480
{\an8}That's very nice of you. And I like
all your little mannerisms as well.
1367
00:39:22,520 --> 00:39:22,800
{\an8}That's very nice of you. And I like
all your little mannerisms as well.
1368
00:39:22,840 --> 00:39:24,840
Do you? I do, I do.
1369
00:39:24,880 --> 00:39:25,040
Do you? I do, I do.
1370
00:39:26,800 --> 00:39:28,800
I could feel the personality.
1371
00:39:28,840 --> 00:39:29,040
I could feel the personality.
1372
00:39:29,080 --> 00:39:30,360
I could feel it.
1373
00:39:30,400 --> 00:39:32,400
And it looked as though she'd been
doused in fairy dust.
1374
00:39:32,440 --> 00:39:33,520
And it looked as though she'd been
doused in fairy dust.
1375
00:39:33,560 --> 00:39:35,560
So she looked lovely.
She sounded lovely.
1376
00:39:35,600 --> 00:39:36,160
So she looked lovely.
She sounded lovely.
1377
00:39:36,200 --> 00:39:38,200
And really, it all went a bit too
quickly.
1378
00:39:38,240 --> 00:39:38,960
And really, it all went a bit too
quickly.
1379
00:39:39,000 --> 00:39:40,240
Do you like my face, though?
1380
00:39:40,280 --> 00:39:42,280
I do like your face. No. You have a
pretty face. Because I've got a face
1381
00:39:42,320 --> 00:39:43,000
I do like your face. No. You have a
pretty face. Because I've got a face
1382
00:39:43,040 --> 00:39:45,040
that you can usually read on my
face...
1383
00:39:45,080 --> 00:39:45,400
that you can usually read on my
face...
1384
00:39:45,440 --> 00:39:46,920
Oh. ..what I'm thinking. You know
what I mean?
1385
00:39:46,960 --> 00:39:48,960
I can tell from your face
that we're getting on all right.
1386
00:39:49,000 --> 00:39:49,440
I can tell from your face
that we're getting on all right.
1387
00:39:49,480 --> 00:39:51,480
You can. Yeah. We can.
1388
00:39:51,520 --> 00:39:51,680
You can. Yeah. We can.
1389
00:39:54,360 --> 00:39:55,320
Hello. Hello.
1390
00:39:59,040 --> 00:40:01,040
Hey, I've done the flirting!
1391
00:40:01,080 --> 00:40:01,280
Hey, I've done the flirting!
1392
00:40:01,320 --> 00:40:02,080
Shut up.
1393
00:40:06,680 --> 00:40:08,680
INTERVIEWER:So would you like to see
each other again?
1394
00:40:08,720 --> 00:40:09,360
INTERVIEWER:So would you like to see
each other again?
1395
00:40:09,400 --> 00:40:11,400
Yes, I'd like to see Linda again.
1396
00:40:11,440 --> 00:40:11,640
Yes, I'd like to see Linda again.
1397
00:40:11,680 --> 00:40:12,840
And I'd like to see Harry again.
1398
00:40:12,880 --> 00:40:14,320
Would you? Yeah. Yes, I would.
1399
00:40:14,360 --> 00:40:16,000
Oh, right. We've still got lots
of things...
1400
00:40:16,040 --> 00:40:17,360
Yeah, yeah. ..to say to each other.
1401
00:40:17,400 --> 00:40:19,280
How would you like to do
the payment here today?
1402
00:40:19,320 --> 00:40:20,920
POSH ACCENT:I should pay with
plastic,
1403
00:40:20,960 --> 00:40:22,040
seeing as I'm in the South.
1404
00:40:22,080 --> 00:40:24,080
Well, thank you. Yeah.
HE LAUGHS
1405
00:40:24,120 --> 00:40:24,360
Well, thank you. Yeah.
HE LAUGHS
1406
00:40:24,400 --> 00:40:25,520
Yeah, gentlemen.
1407
00:40:25,560 --> 00:40:27,560
I think you're a delightful person.
And I think you're a gentleman.
1408
00:40:27,600 --> 00:40:27,840
I think you're a delightful person.
And I think you're a gentleman.
1409
00:40:27,880 --> 00:40:29,840
Oh! Oh, am I? Oh, God.
1410
00:40:29,880 --> 00:40:31,160
Well, and you're lovely to look at.
1411
00:40:31,200 --> 00:40:33,200
And we talked very easily,
didn't we? We did.
1412
00:40:33,240 --> 00:40:34,120
And we talked very easily,
didn't we? We did.
1413
00:40:34,160 --> 00:40:36,160
I haven't worn a tie of this long
since I don't know when.
1414
00:40:36,200 --> 00:40:37,680
I haven't worn a tie of this long
since I don't know when.
1415
00:40:37,720 --> 00:40:39,200
I like to be a bit loud.
1416
00:40:39,240 --> 00:40:41,240
Oh, I don't need a tie to be loud.
1417
00:40:41,280 --> 00:40:41,640
Oh, I don't need a tie to be loud.
1418
00:40:41,680 --> 00:40:42,640
I can tell.
1419
00:40:43,760 --> 00:40:45,760
So that was one date
out of 16 years.
1420
00:40:45,800 --> 00:40:46,680
So that was one date
out of 16 years.
1421
00:40:46,720 --> 00:40:48,720
Yeah, so... Right, I'm privileged
then?
1422
00:40:48,760 --> 00:40:50,760
Yes, you are. Right. Oh, my
goodness.
1423
00:40:50,800 --> 00:40:51,040
Yes, you are. Right. Oh, my
goodness.
1424
00:40:51,080 --> 00:40:52,480
Oh, God, that's a bit scary.
1425
00:40:54,440 --> 00:40:55,760
Lovely.
1426
00:40:55,800 --> 00:40:56,760
Give me a kiss.
1427
00:40:58,320 --> 00:40:59,280
Lovely.
1428
00:41:05,120 --> 00:41:06,280
Have you ever played Articulate?
1429
00:41:06,320 --> 00:41:08,320
Yes! I love it that game. So do I.
Aw.
1430
00:41:08,360 --> 00:41:09,200
Yes! I love it that game. So do I.
Aw.
1431
00:41:09,240 --> 00:41:11,000
Excellent. I reckon we'd be a good
team. Yeah.
1432
00:41:11,040 --> 00:41:12,760
I do at the moment do a pub quiz
every week, actually.
1433
00:41:12,800 --> 00:41:13,920
Ooh! It's good. It's good fun.
1434
00:41:13,960 --> 00:41:15,760
That does sound fun.
So if I say to you,
1435
00:41:15,800 --> 00:41:17,800
name the five things that end
in case,
1436
00:41:17,840 --> 00:41:18,840
name the five things that end
in case,
1437
00:41:18,880 --> 00:41:20,880
so C-A-S-E.
1438
00:41:20,920 --> 00:41:21,360
so C-A-S-E.
1439
00:41:21,400 --> 00:41:23,400
Ooh, gosh. Ah, I've stumped you now.
This is really annoying.
1440
00:41:23,440 --> 00:41:24,320
Ooh, gosh. Ah, I've stumped you now.
This is really annoying.
1441
00:41:24,360 --> 00:41:26,360
To go round your house
would be my top tip.
1442
00:41:26,400 --> 00:41:27,000
To go round your house
would be my top tip.
1443
00:41:28,280 --> 00:41:29,920
Intellectually, there was a match.
1444
00:41:29,960 --> 00:41:31,960
I felt like, yeah, you know, a
doctor and a maths teacher.
1445
00:41:32,000 --> 00:41:32,840
I felt like, yeah, you know, a
doctor and a maths teacher.
1446
00:41:32,880 --> 00:41:34,880
You know, caring couple.
1447
00:41:34,920 --> 00:41:35,160
You know, caring couple.
1448
00:41:35,200 --> 00:41:37,200
I think Becky's the kind of girl
that my parents would love.
1449
00:41:37,240 --> 00:41:37,560
I think Becky's the kind of girl
that my parents would love.
1450
00:41:37,600 --> 00:41:39,080
Although does she see me
1451
00:41:39,120 --> 00:41:41,120
as something potentially more than
a friend?
1452
00:41:41,160 --> 00:41:41,400
as something potentially more than
a friend?
1453
00:41:41,440 --> 00:41:42,840
I genuinely cannot tell.
1454
00:41:42,880 --> 00:41:44,360
Aw, staircase.
1455
00:41:44,400 --> 00:41:46,400
Yeah. Bookcase. Yeah.
1456
00:41:46,440 --> 00:41:47,280
Yeah. Bookcase. Yeah.
1457
00:41:47,320 --> 00:41:49,120
Suitcase.
HE LAUGHS
1458
00:41:49,160 --> 00:41:50,320
Pencil case.
1459
00:41:50,360 --> 00:41:51,920
That's a good one... OK.
..but I wasn't thinking.
1460
00:41:51,960 --> 00:41:53,960
OK. That's too small.
Like about this size, tends to clip.
1461
00:41:54,000 --> 00:41:54,520
OK. That's too small.
Like about this size, tends to clip.
1462
00:41:54,560 --> 00:41:56,480
Briefcase. Yeah. Good, good,
good.
1463
00:41:56,520 --> 00:41:58,080
This Articulate, I think we got the
makings
1464
00:41:58,120 --> 00:41:59,520
of a good Articulate team-mate.
1465
00:41:59,560 --> 00:42:01,120
That's all this date is all about.
1466
00:42:08,520 --> 00:42:10,240
If it's OK, guys, I'll leave this
with you both.Yeah.
1467
00:42:10,280 --> 00:42:12,280
Yeah. Thank you very much.
Thanks! Thank you.
1468
00:42:12,320 --> 00:42:12,760
Yeah. Thank you very much.
Thanks! Thank you.
1469
00:42:12,800 --> 00:42:14,800
I'll get this. Are you sure?
Yes, I would like to.
1470
00:42:14,840 --> 00:42:15,200
I'll get this. Are you sure?
Yes, I would like to.
1471
00:42:15,240 --> 00:42:16,920
I'd like to, cos you've been such
lovely company.
1472
00:42:16,960 --> 00:42:18,960
Oh, that's really nice. Yeah. Thank
you.
1473
00:42:19,000 --> 00:42:19,280
Oh, that's really nice. Yeah. Thank
you.
1474
00:42:19,320 --> 00:42:20,800
Would you like to see each other

1475
00:42:22,400 --> 00:42:24,400
Yes. Oh, my God. Yes.
1476
00:42:24,440 --> 00:42:24,840
Yes. Oh, my God. Yes.
1477
00:42:24,880 --> 00:42:26,720
Oh! OK. Oh, OK.
That was really worrying.
1478
00:42:26,760 --> 00:42:28,760
OK. The way you did that pause was
awful. No, no, no.
1479
00:42:28,800 --> 00:42:29,520
OK. The way you did that pause was
awful. No, no, no.
1480
00:42:29,560 --> 00:42:31,560
I was totally mentally preparing
for you to say, "No.
1481
00:42:31,600 --> 00:42:31,880
I was totally mentally preparing
for you to say, "No.
1482
00:42:31,920 --> 00:42:33,520
"Really nice guy, but nah."
1483
00:42:33,560 --> 00:42:35,480
And I was like, "Oh, she said yes.
Oh, OK."
1484
00:42:35,520 --> 00:42:37,400
I realised, we haven't got a date
selfie.
1485
00:42:37,440 --> 00:42:39,440
Just like for memories.
Like, one day, like.
1486
00:42:39,480 --> 00:42:39,840
Just like for memories.
Like, one day, like.
1487
00:42:39,880 --> 00:42:40,840
Get a little...
1488
00:42:45,920 --> 00:42:47,040
OK.
1489
00:42:47,080 --> 00:42:49,080
I can tell you now. Yeah, obviously,
I'm really attracted to you.
1490
00:42:49,120 --> 00:42:49,440
I can tell you now. Yeah, obviously,
I'm really attracted to you.
1491
00:42:49,480 --> 00:42:50,840
Oh, thank you.
1492
00:42:50,880 --> 00:42:52,880
I really like the fact
that you are family orientated...
1493
00:42:52,920 --> 00:42:53,880
I really like the fact
that you are family orientated...
1494
00:42:53,920 --> 00:42:55,120
Mm. ..you're kind, you're
thoughtful.
1495
00:42:55,160 --> 00:42:56,400
Aw. I think that's great.
1496
00:42:56,440 --> 00:42:58,440
Although I think they're
underappreciated qualities.
1497
00:42:58,480 --> 00:42:58,760
Although I think they're
underappreciated qualities.
1498
00:42:58,800 --> 00:43:00,520
I think people should go
for the nice guys.
1499
00:43:01,800 --> 00:43:03,520
Well, you're a nice girl. So nice
guys and nice girls
