First Dates Main Image

Ah, “First Dates.” A petri dish of awkward encounters, unexpected sparks, and the occasional cravat. This week, the search for love brings together a motley crew of singles, each with their own unique set of hopes, dreams, and questionable fashion choices.

Nineteen-year-old Hugo, embarking on his very first date, meets Rose, a young woman with aspirations of millionaire status. Will their vastly different worldviews clash, or will they find common ground over a shared plate of calamari?

Meanwhile, Candy, a self-proclaimed eternal optimist at 61, is paired with David, a dapper fitness enthusiast of the same age. Will their shared optimism be enough to ignite a romantic spark? And then there’s Kirsty, the boxer looking for a “gym buff,” who finds herself face-to-face with Paul, a kebab shop entrepreneur. Will love blossom amongst the doner kebabs?
