REALITY

-

C4, 10pm Back for another series, this heartwarmi­ng dating show still manages to entertain and amuse.

As always, Maitre d’ Fred helps to calm the nerves of the singles. The many hopefuls tonight include political activist Lettie, 23, a Conservati­ve, who immediatel­y clashes with Lib Dem Cambridge graduate Fred, 26. And stockbroke­r Pearse, 24, tries to woo 27-year-old teaching assistant Liberty.

But watch out for octogenari­an Doreen and 86-year-old author James. Neither are ready to give up on love. “While the heart still beats, the world is full of possibliti­es,” says Merlin the barman, no doubt vying to steal Fred’s cliché crown.

But as often the case with the more elderly couples, there is sadness too. James recalls holding his wife of 55 years in his arms as she died, while Doreen asks: “Do you have many friends?” “No” comes the reply. You’ll be rooting for them the most.

SPARK? Liberty and Pearse
