When is Blind Date on TV?
The new series of Blind Date starts TONIGHT (Saturday, December 22, 2018) at 7pm.
It will continue next Saturday on Channel 5 at a later time of 8pm.
The show was brought up to date “while paying respect to the traditions” of the show – which was made famous by the late Cilla Black – by allowing gay and lesbian singletons to take part.
How does Blind Date work?
It involves one singleton asking three members of the opposite sex questions about them.
Their potential blind dates are hidden behind a screen, and the contestant must pick one lucky lad or lady based purely on their answers.
The two rejected hopefuls then parade past the contestant before the screen is pulled back to reveal their, often disappointing, chosen date.
The new couples then pick a destination for their all-expenses-paid holiday date from an envelope, with locations ranging from Bognor Regis to the Maldives.
It often did not work out well, with poor Cilla being forced to break up arguments when the couples returned to next week to discuss their date.
However, three couples did go on to get married – while the likes of Amanda Holden and Nikki Grahame launched their careers on the dating show.
