First Dates

The first of this series' couples bond over a love of Japanese culture, although nerves threaten their chances. A police detective goes on a date with a man who used to be on the force, an actor meets a journalist and Latin ballroom dancer, and an entrepreneur with a flashy exterior and even flashier car is hoping to find someone to settle down with.

Medical student Alice gets together with Max, the self-styled 'Wolf of Wallington High Street'. Veteran house music groover Mark meets Alison - a call centre worker by day and raver by night.

Sexual health advisor Liza meets father-of-five Simon. Singer Saskia dates Luke the magician. And a car buff from Grimsby meets a self-confessed 'nerd' yet to fall in love.
