Broadcast
Warner Bros. Television and Carlton for ITV1/2, 4 July to 28 August 2002 (8 episodes in 1 series)
Synopsis
Kerry McFadden (famous for quitting Atomic Kitten just before they became cool and for being Mrs Bryan Westlife) tries to help others find true love through the power of elimination. Four males go after one female and four females go after one male. They all go out on a date somewhere. Every couple of hours the date has to choose one person to be eliminated until there is only one left who gets to go out some more, and then they inevitably split up.
The host's catchy spunkiness and groaning bikinis [should that be the other way around? - Ed] don't make up for her more than evident inexperience in front of the camera.
This show is soooo good, it got taken off it's 10.30pm Thursday night slot after five episodes and burning the remaining three in an 11pm Wednesday night slot. Maybe it would've worked on Sky One, but it's not an ITV kinda show.
