00:00The biggest desire of my heart is to connect with someone who I can do life with and have
00:15fun.
00:18You have to be brave in love because you've got to accept that there is a risk.
00:25Right, it's your kid.
00:27Good luck.
00:28This is it.
00:29Good luck.
00:31Nominated by their grown-up kids.
00:33Let's do this.
00:35A group of single parents are hoping for a second chance at love.
00:40I was number one for the past 18 years.
00:43Time to focus on yourself a bit more.
00:45Yeah.
00:46Yeah.
00:47But down the road, there's a big surprise.
00:52Welcome to the surveillance room.
00:57Stop.
00:58That's my dad.
00:59That's my dad.
01:00We want you to be really involved.
01:06Watching their every move.
01:08Oh no.
01:09I don't know how I feel about watching this.
01:14That is not something I want to see.
01:16Go on, Clayton.
01:17Oh no.
01:18Their kids will secretly guide them.
01:20Who needs to get to know each other better on a date?
01:23My mum and your dad will have a really fun time.
01:30Can they step outside their comfort zones?
01:33What have you missed?
01:34Coming home to someone.
01:35I've not had that.
01:36You okay?
01:37Hey.
01:38Hey.
01:39Relationships.
01:40My mum has had some really bad experiences.
01:43I accept I've been a mellowist.
01:47He wishes it was him that had died instead of my mum
01:50because he doesn't think he's good enough
01:52to look after us without her.
01:54And open their hearts.
01:56I'm very fortunate now because of you.
01:59How about we do something tomorrow?
02:01Get some time.
02:02Oh my God.
02:03I can't believe I'm making a mistake.
02:05No, come here, come here.
02:06Will they find love?
02:10Do you want to just kiss me?
02:11I don't want to be alone for the rest of my life.
02:14I feel like a little schoolgirl.
02:15So what are we cheersing to?
02:17Our first kiss.
02:19And when they're reunited...
02:21I miss you so much.
02:23Will their kids give their blessing?
02:25Spent my whole entire life watching you be trapped awfully.
02:28You just deserve to be happy,
02:29but I'm not going to also make a decision
02:31that I don't think you're ready for.
02:33I just hope there will be someone for him to have,
02:36but the right person
02:37and someone who really just blows him away.
02:41This is My Mum, Your Dad.
02:57Why do you always nick my elbow?
02:59I'm not.
03:00You don't. It's not a shared space.
03:02Of course it is. It's in the middle.
03:03No, it's not.
03:04Well, if it was yours, it'd be on your side.
03:06It's driver's privilege.
03:08It's funny because I wasn't nervous
03:10and now I'm getting butterflies.
03:13Ooh! Ooh! What's going on?
03:16Mum, your driving is not great.
03:19Where is this road going to lead to in more ways than one?
03:23Maybe my stepmum, who knows?
03:25Oh!
03:30Power of love.
03:34How are we doing with the baps?
03:36The brioche baps?
03:38Just leave them alone.
03:45Don't just be the fly on the wall.
03:47I'm not going to be the fly on the wall.
03:49Get stuck right in.
03:51OK, I'll get stuck in.
03:53What do you mean, get stuck in?
03:55Doing what?
03:56For me, especially starting my own family,
03:59I wanted to know that if I'm not at home
04:01or I am out with my daughter and my partner,
04:04that Mum has got someone as well, cos she deserves it.
04:08I lost my dad in 2017
04:11and my partner at the time just dumped me by text.
04:16So I just sort of went numb.
04:20And time has just gone.
04:23It's been four years since I've had any intimacy with anybody.
04:28I have to practise kissing the back of my hand first.
04:31Well, don't do that.
04:32I don't know if I can remember how to kiss.
04:40You ready?
04:41Yeah, why? How am I looking?
04:43Yeah, no, you look good. You look nice.
04:45Suave. Is that the right word? Dapper?
04:47Suave, dapper, yeah.
04:49I'll take all that, yeah.
04:51First impressions count.
04:55We see each other every day.
04:56When there was looking for a house,
04:58she was trying to pick one two miles away.
05:01Two miles?
05:02I managed to talk her into picking one about six doors away.
05:07I don't even think it's that. It takes 30 seconds.
05:12So I nominated Dad my mum died a year ago.
05:17So this is our way of sort of saying to you,
05:21we're OK if you want to start dating again.
05:25It's been 37 years since I've been on a date
05:29or had to try and impress somebody.
05:33I'm driving you to the next stage of your life.
05:36That is a very good analogy. It is.
05:40Does that make it more nerve-wracking, though?
05:42Not really, no.
05:43I'm at a level where I don't think I could be any more nervous.
05:48Just want you to get back to being yourself.
05:51You've lost a little bit of your bravado.
05:53We need that spark back.
05:55Is Davina off the table?
05:58I've got to set some ground rules.
06:07What if nobody fancies me? What if I'm the ugly one?
06:10Mum, I think people fancy you, definitely.
06:13You're looking like a hottie.
06:18We're kind of like a wee support system, aren't we?
06:20Because we're with each other all the time,
06:22apart from when we're working.
06:24Mum's always saying to me,
06:25Carly, when I'm old, you're going to need to come look after me.
06:28I'm like, right, Mum, time for us to find you a man.
06:34Married twice.
06:36You know, I had a lot of things to deal with.
06:38It was rough.
06:40I thought I was to picture a boyfriend for you.
06:43Maybe a tan skin, salt and pepper hair.
06:45Yeah, get your coat, you're pulled.
06:55Whoa.
06:57This is a bit Bridgerton.
06:59It is coming Bridgerton.
07:01I think I've been destined for Bridgerton.
07:08Oh, my God.
07:11This is our big goodbye.
07:13I know.
07:15I love you.
07:17Have the best time.
07:18Go in there and have fun.
07:19You'll have the best experience.
07:21Love you.
07:22Bye.
07:24She's a good person, like,
07:26so I definitely think she deserves something like this.
07:30The best outcome to meet the love of my life.
07:32Mm-hm.
07:34Wow.
07:36Nice.
07:38Welcome to my humble abode.
07:45Right, you kid, this is it.
07:47Good luck.
07:50Love you.
07:51Love you.
07:52OK.
07:53Good luck.
07:54I can't make up on you.
07:55There you go.
08:02You know, when you've been used to being with somebody,
08:06you take it for granted,
08:08and I would like to find love again.

08:15Together in electric dreams

08:36Yeah.

08:38Stunning, yeah.
08:39You know, I'm going to be wandering around
08:41Bridgerton for the next two weeks.
08:42It is very Bridgerton, isn't it?
08:44Yeah.
08:45And that is racy.
08:46Yeah.
08:47Isn't it?
08:48I love it.
08:49See, I think that's my problem.
08:50I live in Bridgerton world.
08:51You know, life isn't really like that.
08:53Yeah.
08:54Well, it might be.
08:55Well, it could be, yeah.
09:07Come here, tiny baby.
09:12I love you, baby.

09:18OK.
09:19See you all then.
09:20All right, my sweetie.
09:21See you all soon.
09:22See you on the other side.
09:32Hey!
09:34Hi.
09:35Oh, you look amazing.
09:37See you.
09:38Hiya.
09:39Hiya.
09:40Monique.
09:41Hello, Monique.
09:42Roger.
09:43Nice to meet you.
09:44Roger.
09:45What do you do?
09:46I'm a postie.
09:47I've been a postie for 36 years.
09:50And I actually work in a private baby scan clinic.
09:53I'm going to be a grandmother.
09:55Oh, that's amazing.
09:56Yeah, my little one that just dropped me off is having my first grandchild.
10:01What are you going to be called?
10:02That's the first one.
10:03Nana.
10:04Nana.
10:05Yeah, that's nice.
10:06Yeah, Nana is nice.
10:07OK, I'm Granny.
10:08You're Granny.
10:09Mm-hm.
10:10It does sound a bit older.
10:11Just the one.
10:12Granny, yeah.
10:14No, you don't want one.
10:23Gets a crunch time, doesn't it?
10:25Start hitting the gym ASAP.
10:27Yeah, maybe pull over and do a few sets before we get there.
10:32We have a very good relationship.
10:34We talk about everything, don't we?
10:36Really?
10:37Yeah, well...
10:38Yeah, so it's obvious.
10:41I'd love to get married.
10:43I've always had this vision of you look down the aisle
10:46and you know it's everything that you want,
10:49but it's finding the person who's got that same view of love
10:53that you have that matches up.
10:55It's very rare to find it.
10:57And I think if you do, you're extremely lucky.
11:01Leave the engine running, just in case.
11:04I would love, Dad, to have someone that he loved.
11:08And when I'm not around, knowing that my dad's not on his own...
11:12Oh.
11:13Yeah.
11:14That's nice.
11:16Give me a hug before I...
11:21Love you.
11:22Yeah.
11:23You're getting upset.
11:25See you, Dad.
11:26All right.
11:27See you later.
11:28See you later.
11:37Have you got my jeans?
11:38Yeah, the cool jeans.
11:40Yeah, tough, man.
11:41You're 53, like, you don't need cool jeans.
11:43Stop saying the age.
11:46When I come home and visit my mum,
11:49it's just so quiet and it's just...
11:52It makes me sad and stressed.
11:54I would love to go to Australia, I would love to see the world,
11:57but I wouldn't do it if she was on her own.
12:00Do you need somebody to take the burden away?
12:02No.
12:04I just hope you don't meet anyone who's going to be a bad person.
12:07I don't think that's going to happen.
12:09I mean, you know, I think they've gone through...
12:11Well, you've got a bad track record, Mum.
12:13I've been cheated on all of my life.
12:21I feel like my mum just needs to have faith in love again.
12:26I just want her to find someone.
12:29I'm so nervous.
12:31It's been a while since I've seen you flirting, so...
12:33I'm so out of practice, Tia. Any tips?
12:36Look at your lashes.
12:38The fake lashes.
12:45How's the nerves?
12:46I wasn't too bad.
12:47Actually, I was fine until I got right to the door.
12:50And then you started feeling nervous?
12:52Yeah.
12:53Yeah.
12:54We're probably just saying goodbye.
12:55You have to say goodbye to your kids as well.
12:57That's always a bit of a choker.
12:59I'll be well-behaved.
13:00Nothing like you've gone for in the past, OK?
13:02OK.
13:03We're going for nice men.
13:04Always.
13:05OK?
13:09Don't do anything I wouldn't do.
13:15My feelings towards men has been somewhat negative,
13:18so it'll be good to know that, actually,
13:20there are some good guys out there.
13:25Hi!
13:26Hiya!
13:27Hiya!
13:28Hello.
13:29Hi.
13:30Elliot.
13:31Hi, Elliot.
13:32Nice to meet you.
13:33You smell good.
13:34Cheers, everybody.
13:35Cheers.
13:36Cheers.
13:37Cheers.
13:38Cheers.
13:39What do you do, Elliot?
13:40I'm a teacher.
13:41You're a teacher?
13:42Oh, yeah?
13:43Wow, I love it.
13:44Who do you teach?
13:45PE.
13:46Do you?
13:47You're also quite fit, then.
13:48No.
13:49No.
13:50No, I'm sick out.
13:51No.
13:52No, I'm sick out.
13:53No.
13:54Maybe one day.
13:55Maybe one day, yeah.
13:56I'm working towards it.
13:57In your past.
13:58I'm working towards it.
13:59As our single parents get acquainted,
14:01down the road at the bunker,
14:03their kids are also meeting for the first time.
14:06We've got one more.
14:07Hello!
14:08Hello!
14:09Hi.
14:11I'm Tia.
14:12Lovely to meet you.
14:13I'm seeing a mum, no daughter, to be honest.
14:15Mum?
14:16Yeah, a mum.
14:17How's your mum been?
14:18She was like...
14:19Oh, really?
14:20Yeah, and then she started getting, like, teasing eyes.
14:21I was like, daughter, I'll start.
14:22I was like, chill out.
14:23So I was, like, being the mum.
14:25Yeah, yeah.
14:26I was like, mum, just chill, it's fine.
14:28I did think that with the girls, with their mum.
14:30When I say goodbye to Dad, I'm like, oh, see you, Dad, yeah?
14:32He was getting upset, but I was like,
14:34oh, should I be getting more upset than I am?
14:42You need to take them socks with holes in them, yeah?
14:46I bought all new socks.
14:48Everything fresh.
14:50Underwear, fresh.
14:51Yeah, man.
14:52Socks, fresh.
14:54It does more, like, on the image of sorts, so to speak,
14:58you know what I mean?
14:59Really?
15:00Yeah.
15:01I just appreciate attractiveness,
15:03and I think sexual attraction is a big thing for me.
15:07A Ferrari's all good, but one without an engine,
15:09it's not going nowhere.
15:11There'll be many silver foxes in there,
15:13but just remember, you're a silver back.
15:15Get me?
15:18Nice!
15:19I like that.
15:20Silver back.
15:21It's going to be a challenge for him,
15:23because you're too rushy-rushy.
15:25You need to take your time.
15:26Do I?
15:27Yeah, rushy-rushy.
15:28You've got to find that deeper roots,
15:30not just the look in the eye.
15:32I've got this.
15:33You've got to find that deeper roots,
15:35not just the look in the eye.
15:37I've got this.
15:38You've got this, man.
15:39Don't let the nerves get you, man.
15:41It's not going to get me.
15:42Yeah? Silver back.
15:43Yeah, yeah.
15:44You're in spirit.
15:45This is a moment where I do feel that I've got to get it right.
15:49I've lived on my own for eight years,
15:51so it's good that you've put me forward to do this,
15:54and, you know, I love you for that.
15:56Come in.
15:57Let's go.
15:59I love you, sir.
16:02Hiya.
16:03Hi.
16:04Hi.
16:05Hi, everybody.
16:06Roger.
16:07Roger.
16:08Pleased to meet you, Roger.
16:09Who brought you a son, daughter?
16:11Yes, my son.
16:12What is he?
16:1335.
16:14Wow.
16:15Is he?
16:16No way.
16:17What age are you?
16:18I'm interested in that, if your son is 35.
16:2057.
16:21Wow, you look amazing.
16:23I think we're all kind of holding it down.
16:26I know how to work a defib,
16:28just in case anyone's interested in science.
16:30Sorry.
16:35That's six single parents already in the retreat,
16:38and we've still got two more to come.
16:40Probably that was the turning.
16:42Where am I going now?
16:44I think down here.
16:46You actually might fall in love within 12 hours.
16:48You might have a little step-mum.
16:51I'd say.
17:01Looking from a window above, it's like a story of love.
17:07Can you hear me?
17:10Roger, who put you forward then?
17:12Well, both my daughters got together.
17:15They got together. Plotted.
17:17I lost my wife about, well, just a year ago.
17:20Oh.
17:21Just over, yeah.
17:22And it was just their way of saying,
17:25Dad, we're ready for you to try and find somebody else.
17:28They must really feel that, you know,
17:30your happiness comes first and that, you know.
17:33That's amazing. That is something else.
17:36And where's everybody from? I mean, I do, you know.
17:39I'm in Sunderland. OK.
17:41So from the north.
17:42I'm Essex, so...
17:43Essex.
17:44Essex boy.
17:45No, not an Essex boy. I'm from Essex.
17:48Just go in and just be yourself.
17:50Be myself. No twerking, no?
17:52No, honestly, do not do that.
17:55I'll never hear the end of that if you do that.
18:00I am very single.
18:03I've been single for a good long time.
18:05Six and a half years, to be exact.
18:07So, yeah.
18:08I've been single for a good long time.
18:10I've been single for a good long time.
18:12I've been single for a good long time.
18:14Six and a half years, to be exact.
18:16So, yeah.
18:17Definitely looking for love.
18:19As long as they know that I'm the man of the house,
18:21it's all right.
18:24Nearly there.
18:25How are you feeling about it?
18:27Do you know what?
18:28Just trusting that I'm enough as I am
18:30and they'll know that I'm right for them
18:32and it'll just work.
18:34Yeah, exactly.
18:36You spend your whole life, you know,
18:38looking after me and Eli and worrying about us.
18:40And I think it's right that you put yourself first now
18:43and find someone that can look after you.
18:45Uh-uh.
18:46Thanks, though.
18:47It's all right.
18:56You can't tell the world that you love me.
18:58No, I can.
18:59I can, yeah, I know.
19:00I love you, too.
19:02OK, I've got this.
19:03Good luck.
19:04Love you lots.
19:05And I'll see you on the other side.
19:07With your stepdaddy.
19:14Hello.
19:15Hi.

19:24I'm Natalie.
19:25Nice to meet you, darling.
19:26I'm Sharon.

19:32Not sunny, but for eight years.
19:34Trying really hard.
19:36Maybe that's where you've been going wrong.
19:38Trying really hard.
19:44Have you packed everything?
19:45I've packed an excessive amount of clothes, actually.
19:48I hope, like, no short shorts.
19:50What do you mean, short shorts?
19:51No short shorts.
19:52And I know you would have packed really, really tight jeans.
19:54Not really tight jeans.
19:56That's going to be, like, an instant ick for everyone in there.
19:58What ick?
19:59It's going to be an ick.
20:01The tight, tight jeans.
20:03I think the retreat would be good for him
20:05to find love in a different way.
20:07I think basically you've been stuck to what you want,
20:10like, in your mind.
20:12Don't think about stuff too much.
20:14Just do it and go with the flow.
20:16And if you start feeling in love, then bring all the love.
20:20Bring on that love!
20:22Don't get scared of it.
20:25Dad does have a bit of a pattern.
20:27He's just kind of like, am I going to be with this person for life?
20:30I just freak out slightly, don't I?
20:32Yeah.
20:33Sometimes.
20:34And then that's it, it's done.
20:36This is so exciting.
20:38I can't believe it.
20:41Good luck. You'll be fine.
20:43You'll be fine. You'll be fine.
20:45Let's go, we've got this. You'll be fine.
20:47OK, good luck.
20:48For me, deep down, it'd be really nice to go into the retreat
20:52and to meet someone that I feel that there could be,
20:56like, a future with.
20:58Someone that you're happy to come home to every day.
21:01That's what I'm missing, really, yeah.
21:06How you doing? Hi! Doing well.
21:09I'm Clayton. Hello. Two kisses.
21:14Let's do this.
21:16Clayton's getting fresh already.
21:20While the parents are getting to know each other...
21:23Right, let's go check out this place, everyone. Let's do this.
21:26..their kids have been whisked off
21:28to our secret surveillance set-up at the bunker.
21:31They believe they're here to create content
21:33about growing up with a single parent,
21:36when actually their role is quite a bit bigger than they think.
21:40Hi! Oh, my God!
21:44It's so nice to see you all. Nice to see you too.
21:47I have got... Oh, God.
21:50Oh, no, Mum, what's happened? A bit of a confession to make.
21:53Oh, my stomach's just gone.
21:55OK, so we want you to play a bigger role
22:01in your parents' journey.
22:03Do you want to find out more?
22:05I don't know. I don't know.
22:07Follow me. Follow me.
22:09Bringing the drinks? Bring drinks, bring drinks.
22:12You might need them.
22:14How big is the role? Are you serious right now?
22:17I'm quite nervous. I'm quite nervous and I'm quite scared, actually.
22:24Get cozy.
22:26Oh, my God. What's going on?
22:29So, you know we said that we wanted you to be involved
22:33in your parents' time in the retreat?
22:35Yeah. Yeah.
22:37Well, we want you to be really involved.
22:40Oh, no. I don't know what's going on.
22:44Welcome to the surveillance room.
22:48Stop!
22:50That's my dad!
22:52No way I'm worried, cos I know I'm going to cringe.
22:55Like, I love her, but I know my mum's going to do something
22:58that's going to cringe me out.
23:00Oh, wow, look at this place. I love it.
23:04There's my mum in the red dress.
23:06Oh, my God!
23:08The realisation of watching Dad...
23:13..do his thing, yes, it's a bit scary.
23:17This really is incredible. This is a home for children.
23:20This is beautiful. Oh, my God. I'm excited.
23:23So, you get to watch everything that your parents do
23:27during their time in the retreat.
23:30But they don't know.
23:32Aw! Sick, sick, sick, sick.
23:35So, they think that their time in the retreat
23:39is being decided for them by a team of relationship experts,
23:44which, you know, is kind of true.
23:50But those relationship experts are you.
23:55So, you get to decide what they do
23:59and, crucially, who with.
24:03Oh, no way.
24:05I don't feel, like, I'm mentally prepared
24:07to have to watch my aunt's day in life.
24:09So, there is one more thing.
24:11At the end of their time in the retreat,
24:14if they've had a special connection with someone,
24:17you will get to decide whether you give them your blessing...
24:21..or not.
24:23I'm stressed out.
24:25Do we have any sitting bags anywhere, please?
24:29Now the tables have turned. I'm the big man.
24:31You have to listen to what I'm going to say.
24:34It's a very good twist.
24:52I really thought I would just be sending her off.
24:55Yeah, I know. Hi!
24:57It's like everybody got set off, innit?
25:00There's been a big bomb dropped.
25:03I think we're going to be watching them, like, constantly,
25:06seeing everything. I'm quite shocked.
25:08I'm getting nervous. Yeah.
25:10My heart's going like this.
25:12I just don't want to be cringed out. Oh, God.
25:14It's a good job there's a lot of pillows on this sofa,
25:16cos I feel like...
25:19Oh, my God, look at that.
25:21Oh, wow.
25:23It's crazy, but I'm so excited.
25:25It's like when you were little and you knew you were being naughty
25:28and you know you're not meant to be doing something.
25:30Oh, I can see us having some fun in there.
25:33Skinny Diffy in the photo.
25:35ALL GROAN
25:39I'm going all the way round.
25:48If I put you on the spot now, who's caught your eye more than anybody else?
25:51Oh, here we go. Oh!
25:53Here we go. You, Cleo.
25:59Romance already.
26:01It's been difficult to step back and...
26:03To kind of take everybody in. It is, it is.
26:05But you obviously have, Cleo.
26:07I mean, I suppose my go-to would be Monique.
26:11Is that your mum? Oh.
26:13Oh, and Natalie.
26:15Sorry. You've got the loudest whisper ever.
26:21Do you know what? I can't even remember the name.
26:23Oh, Dad!
26:25Oh, no! I'm at that stage in my life,
26:27I'm saying no to nothing.
26:29I want nothing out.
26:31Jess, your dad is handsome. Yes.
26:33I won't lie. What's his type, like, look-wise?
26:36Honestly, he's not got one. He's not got one.
26:39He hasn't been in the dating pool for, like, 40 years.
26:4340? Yeah.
26:45Yeah, I'm going to try and not get emotional,
26:48but my mum died last year.
26:50So it's only just.
26:52This is his first experience dating again.
26:55So, very nervous.
26:57The thought of seeing him with someone who's not my mum is...
27:00Yeah, must be weird, isn't it?
27:02Building up, yeah.
27:04Whenever I think about the old couple sat on the porch,
27:07that's always been my mum and dad.
27:09I know that I want him to be with someone,
27:12I don't want him to be on his own,
27:14I don't want him to grow old without somebody,
27:17but it's just the getting your head around it, not being mum.
27:23First impressions, they seem so lovely.
27:25They all seem lovely, don't they? Yes.
27:27Everyone's mums are gorgeous.
27:29Oh, my God, yeah.
27:30Did you see your type, Aded?
27:32Yeah. Did you?
27:34You can already tell who that is.
27:36Can you? Yeah.
27:38He's got piercing blue eyes.
27:41Yeah, he's totally my type.
27:43I'm sort of between Elliot, Clayton and...
27:48Have you seen Paul? Yeah.
27:51He's not Paul.
27:54He's very attractive, yeah.
27:57I definitely feel drawn to Paul.
27:59I'd like to think I'm quite a good judge of character,
28:02although I'm here and I don't have that great judge
28:06when it comes to men, so we'll see.
28:08Which one would suit you?
28:10Erm...
28:15None of them, yeah.
28:17It's obvious.
28:19I think because of my mum's date and history,
28:21our walls are just definitely up slowly,
28:24as I think she's just been hurt and hurt.
28:26They've just got higher and higher.
28:28But I really, really hope she puts her everything
28:31into this experience and does open up,
28:33because I think it'd be such a good, healthy start.
28:36I like tall guys.
28:38Are you not that tall? I'm tiny, but I like...
28:40This is what my daughter...
28:42Stop doing that!
28:44Have you told her off for this?
28:46My mum's 5'2", right?
28:48And she wants, like, a 6'5 giant,
28:50and I'm like, save them for the tall girls.
28:52I do think, like, that stuff, as you get older,
28:55falls away, doesn't it? Yeah.
28:57None of the men I would have gone for in the past,
29:00not usually my typical type, but, you know,
29:02my typical type hasn't served me well in the past.
29:07How are you generally feeling?
29:09I'm feeling better than I was.
29:11I want you to feel that you can open up to me if you need to.
29:14I need to be able to talk to a woman like I can talk to you.
29:17Yeah, 100%. It's not the norm, is it?
29:19No. Don't do this every day, do you?
29:21As the parents settle into the retreat,
29:24I'm here to kick-start their journey
29:26to finding new romantic connections.
29:29SHE GASPS
29:31Oh, my!
29:33So excited!
29:35Oh, my God!
29:37Clayton, Roger, will you come over?
29:41Oh! Hi!
29:43Of course my dad's straight in for the hug.
29:46Of course he is.
29:48So nice to meet you guys!
29:50This is crazy! This is crazy.
29:53So, welcome to the retreat. Thank you.
29:56So, you've all come here to form connections,
29:59and I want you to grasp this with both hands, you know,
30:03cos you've got to make every second count.
30:06So, with that in mind,
30:08I thought it might be time for a date.
30:12No!
30:14My mum's face!
30:16Oh, my goodness. I wasn't expecting it to be so quick.
30:19It was a big shock.
30:21All of you girls will get to choose a guy
30:23to take on a date somewhere here at the retreat,
30:27just away from everybody else,
30:29where you can just get to know them a bit better.
30:33Oh, my God!
30:35He looks mortified. Oh, my God, he's so traumatised.
30:39I'm quite horrified.
30:41This is a biggie. My heart's racing.
30:43So, Monique, I'm going to go with you first,
30:46cos you seem quite keen.
30:48I'm so keen.
30:50She is very keen.
30:52Yeah, I've been on bread and water for five years.
30:56She's ready, she's ready.
30:59I'm glad that she's keen, because I told her, be open.
31:04Monique, who do you want to choose to get to know a bit better?
31:08Ooh! Well done.
31:10Oh, yay!
31:12Oh, my God! Yay!
31:16I think she's chosen really well.
31:19Amazing. Paul looks very happy about that.
31:21Paul, Paul. Oh, God, that's so exciting.
31:24OK, so, next up, Sharon, who would you like to ask?
31:30I have no clue who my mum will pick.
31:33I'm going to pick...
31:37..Elliot. Yay!
31:39Yay!
31:42Smart dad. Oh!
31:46He's not normally our type in terms of, like, looks,
31:50but if anyone's going to get out of our shell,
31:53it's going to be an Essex man.
31:55Next up, we're going to go with you, Natalie.
31:57I think, yeah, like, we would get on and have some good chats,
32:00so I'm going to choose Clayton, yeah.
32:02OK.
32:04Aw!
32:06Caroline, who would you like to get to know better?
32:10Roger and I.
32:12Roger and I!
32:16And you, Mum, I've been your dad.
32:19This is the first time I've had to date in...
32:23..37 years.
32:25Caroline seems lovely,
32:27but I'm going to be a work in progress, I think.
32:30Could be a car crash or who knows.
32:33I wasn't expecting them to go on dates tonight.
32:36Yeah, so fast already. Yeah.
32:38We sound like their parents now.
32:40Just hold us, calm down, calm down.
32:42You don't need to rush into things.
32:44I'm a little bit shell-shocked now.
32:46I mean, I really hope my dad starts to relax,
32:49but I don't know how this is going to go.
32:53MUSIC PLAYS
32:56The parents are about to embark
32:58on their first ever dates at the retreat.
33:01MUSIC PLAYS
33:04And it's a chance for the kids to watch closely
33:07as they take on their new role as dating experts.
33:10Aw, they're freshly up together!
33:12Do you need anything from me? No, yeah, that's all good.
33:15I haven't got anything for you.
33:17Aw, they're freshly up together!
33:19Do you need anything from me? No, yeah, that's all good.
33:22Aw, Dad's nervous.
33:24How do you feel? Yeah, all right.
33:26Are you relaxed? Yeah, yeah. You sure?
33:28Yeah, yeah. You're not worried? No, no, I'm all good.
33:31Do you know why he's not being honest?
33:33Cos he obviously is nervous. Yeah.
33:35So you went straight for Paul?
33:37There's a few things that I like about him. Yeah.
33:40There's a few things I find attractive about him as well. Yeah.
33:43I think my mum might have picked Paul
33:45if he hadn't already been picked.
33:47She wouldn't want to hurt anyone's feelings,
33:49so I think that might have, you know, affected her decision.
33:52Might have brushed his teeth, might have was...
33:54He wants a kiss. I think he's getting a first kiss.
33:57He thinks he is.
33:59Let's do this, Clayton.
34:01Get to know your potential wifey.
34:04LAUGHTER
34:11This is nice. It's lovely.
34:13This is so weird.
34:15Oh, it's great. Would you like a drink?
34:17Do not get me drunk, Elliot.
34:19I would not do that. Don't get me drunk!
34:24Oh, wow.
34:26My da-da. Oh!
34:29Here we go. Where are the cups?
34:33Cheers. Cheers.
34:34Don't want the seven years of bad sex.
34:36Oh!
34:38He's just putting that in there!
34:41I've not had a problem. OK.
34:43No, I'm joking.
34:45Oh, my gosh, my kids would like to hear that.
34:49So, how are you feeling now? Have your nerves settled?
34:51A little bit.
34:53Aw, she knows. She looks really stressed. Really?
34:55Yeah, really stressed.
34:57It is so weird seeing this complete other side to her,
35:00but I feel like our walls have been up for so long now
35:04that she needs something to come along and just break them down.
35:08I feel so far out of my comfort zone.
35:10I think it's because it's been such a long time.
35:12I mean, my last relationship was five-and-a-half years ago.
35:15Really? Wow.
35:17So I think just out of practice and just that nervous,
35:21oh, my gosh, you know, are people going to like me?
35:24You're a really attractive woman, so... Oh, thank you.
35:26You're a handsome guy. Thank you very much.
35:28You look very nice tonight, actually.
35:30All right, Sharon. A little compliment in there.
35:35That's it, he's loving it.
35:37You've not been married, have you? No.
35:39OK. No, never been married. Would you get married?
35:41Yeah, 100%. Yeah? Yeah.
35:43Yeah, yeah. You want the white dress?
35:45I'd look good in a white dress, I reckon.
35:47He'd love to get married. Would he? Yeah.
35:49I'd love him to.
35:51There's a lot more under the surface
35:53than what meets the eye of my dad, and he's very sensitive,
35:56he's very emotional, and because of me,
35:58I think my dad's used to putting on a really brave front, you know?
36:01I'd like to see my dad be a little bit more vulnerable.
36:04So do you have a type? No.
36:06Do you not? Not at all. No, you?
36:08Erm... Dark.
36:10Tall, dark and handsome. Tall, dark and handsome, yeah.
36:12It's a bit of a cliché, isn't it?
36:14Yeah, well, 9 out of 3 is good, isn't it?
36:16My mum does like tall, dark and handsome, but her ex is blonde.
36:20Oh, really? Yeah.
36:22So... she's easy.
36:24How tall are you? I'm 6'2".
36:26Yeah, yeah, OK, that's a good height.
36:28Yeah, I'll do 1 out of 3, then, yeah.
36:30I'm not pregnant, be honest. No.
36:33Save me, Elliot.
36:35I was...
36:37LAUGHTER
36:39I just want to say thanks, you've made me feel, like, chilled.
36:42Are you silly? You have.
36:44You're a lovely person. Thank you. So are you.
36:46Aww!
36:48Cheers. Cheers.
36:49I had a really nice time with Sharon.
36:51She's someone that I would like to get to know more.
36:54It was very comfortable, and I had a great day.
37:00So you're 57? 57.
37:02I don't think at 57 I'd look as young as you, without a facelift.
37:06You need to rate yourself. No, I look good for my age.
37:09You look damn good for your age.
37:11Oh, thank you. Thank you, I appreciate that.
37:14Cheers again. Thank you.
37:16Proper Lothario, isn't he? Yeah, he is.
37:18Sorry, I've got to remove that hand from you.
37:20Thank you. Because I don't want it biting you.
37:22That shouldn't have the first bite before I do.
37:25LAUGHTER
37:26He can resist. He's ironed it up for a few minutes.
37:30And settle down. It's only day one.
37:33There's one thing you need to just keep in your head.
37:36Everything needs to be shared out.
37:38Like Wi-Fi.
37:40Oh, I'm joking! Yeah, you're right.
37:42You're right. My bad, my bad, my bad.
37:44He's quite intense, and I'm a real slow burner
37:47when it comes to connection.
37:49But there's definitely qualities there that I look for.
37:52So, yeah, we'll see.
37:55Have you been on a lot of dates?
37:58Straight in with the questioning.
38:01Erm, kind of like...
38:03Well, like, only a few from, like, online dating and...
38:09He's like, get to the point!
38:12He's nervous, isn't he?
38:14So, no, not loads of dating.
38:16Hmm. What are you looking for?
38:18A wife.
38:20Easy, Tiger. Yeah.
38:22Oi, straight to the point.
38:24That's good, he's being straight on.
38:26Yeah, straight to the point.
38:28And you? A partner for life.
38:30Yeah, definitely. Yeah.
38:32What are the things you value the most in a woman?
38:35Erm...
38:38I think trust and, like, just, erm...
38:42communication.
38:44What else?
38:46You've got to have fun and...
38:48What are the things that you wouldn't accept in your partner?
38:52Erm...
38:56I don't know. Erm...
39:00Good question.
39:02I'm not sure, really.
39:04I don't... I can't... Yeah.
39:06I think he's just so stressed, he can't even think.
39:08He's so nervous, isn't he? Yeah.
39:10Oh, I just wish I could say it's OK.
39:12Interview over.
39:15If he doesn't get a bit more comfortable,
39:17then he will fall behind a little bit,
39:19because everyone will, like, go on those dates,
39:21they'll get to know each other even more,
39:23so that's a bit of a worry.
39:28OK, I bet I'm going to fall down these stairs.
39:30Oh, there they go.
39:32It's a soft landing, if you do,
39:34cos this carpet is pretty lush, innit?
39:36I was going to say.
39:38It's a soft landing, if you do,
39:40cos this carpet is pretty lush, innit?
39:42I was planning on landing on top of you,
39:44but that's maybe a wee bit X-rated, isn't it?
39:46Oh!
39:48Oh!
39:50Go on, you're on Jack. I'm done.
39:52I'm done.
39:54This is nice.
40:00Shall we do a cheers?
40:02Cheers. Cheers. Thank you.
40:04He did look a wee bit nervous
40:06when Davina says,
40:08you're very good, I was supposed to pick you someday,
40:10go on a date, you were like...
40:12Yeah, and I was last pick.
40:14But listen, I think I got the best of the bunch.
40:16I think I've done all right.
40:18He's not giving many compliments back, is he?
40:20He's just taking them.
40:22So what do you do in your spare time?
40:24In the morning,
40:26I go and fetch my daughter's dog.
40:28Oh, nice.
40:30He's absolutely gorgeous.
40:32He's on a date, he's talking about my dog.
40:34Right.
40:36Oh, great.
40:38He shouldn't really say this,
40:40but I clean his teeth with my toothbrush.
40:42Oh, Dad.
40:44Oh!
40:46That might put me off you.
40:48Dog breath.
40:52It seems like he's relaxing a bit more.
40:54The more he talks about him.
40:56What kind of brought you here then?
40:58What made you think that you were ready for it?
41:00Er...
41:02Sort of didn't.
41:04Or a wee bit apprehensive.
41:06Yeah.
41:08People say,
41:10you don't know what's around the corner,
41:12and I know that I never knew
41:14what was going to happen to my wife.
41:16Yeah.
41:18And so I do think, stuff it.
41:20Was it such a...?
41:22I don't want you to ask.
41:24She'd had breast cancer about three or four years ago.
41:26Yeah.
41:28And she got over that and we thought, brilliant.
41:30And then we were on holiday in Italy
41:32and I just looked behind her ear
41:34and it was irritating, just a little spot behind her ear.
41:36OK, Dad.
41:38And I said, you need to get that checked, Jo,
41:40when we get back, and she did.
41:42And she got seen to really quick
41:44and it was melanoma.
41:46But she didn't know
41:48at that time
41:50that the cancer had gone to her brain.
41:54She said, I'm very tired.
41:56I said, come on, I'll put you to bed
41:58or do you want to go and sit in?
42:00She answered, tea.
42:02And then I come in about a half hour later
42:04and obviously I should have just phoned for an ambulance
42:06straight away.
42:08But you wouldn't have known.
42:10Your mum's trying to hold it together.
42:12She is.
42:14I'm going to do nothing but smile.
42:18And she basically
42:20never woke up again.
42:22Oh, I'm so disappointed.
42:24Yeah, yeah.
42:26The bond
42:28she had with her mum, Jessica,
42:30the oldest one,
42:32it was just...
42:34I used to just get a drink and watch him
42:36and I could sit there and think, wow.
42:38Yeah.
42:42It's just doing him talk about her in general.
42:44Yeah.
42:46Jessica lost her best mate
42:48and her mum.
42:50It's cruel, isn't it?
42:52You know, life's a bit cruel.
42:54Yeah.
42:56I'm at that stage where I just think,
42:58well, life's too short.
43:00And do you know what?
43:02We've all been brought here for a reason,
43:04you know?
43:06We might all hate each other
43:08but then we might all end up being really good friends.
43:10There might be connections made
43:12so you just don't know, do you?
43:16I made a cry, which I don't know
43:18is that a sign of a good day
43:20but it shows she's very caring person.
43:22It shows she's very caring person
43:24and understands
43:26how difficult it was for me.
43:42The date with Monique,
43:44I felt very nervous.
43:46It's just the build-up of the day,
43:48you're not in your comfort zone
43:50and everything's new.
43:52Yeah, I just found it quite overwhelming, actually.
43:58It's only early days
44:00and it's the first date
44:02but it didn't feel quite right.
44:04I don't think he was very interested.
44:12How was your date?
44:14She's lovely.
44:16She's proper nice
44:18but
44:20obviously it's
44:22just so quick
44:24and I think it could take me
44:26a while.
44:28He's got no confidence at all.
44:30Really?
44:32But that's since losing my mum.
44:34I'm so used to him being so confident
44:36and now it's like
44:38he shrinks into himself
44:40if anyone speaks to him.
44:42How do you feel about him?
44:44Yeah, I think he's lovely.
44:46That's a good start for day one, you know.
44:48Yeah, isn't it?
44:52I think my mum is maybe
44:54taking a bit of a leap, do you know what I mean?
44:56Because if she's going to try
44:58and get romantically involved with someone
45:00that maybe isn't ready,
45:02it could make things a bit difficult.
45:04I think he's probably in panic mode at the minute
45:06and thinking, what on earth am I doing here?
45:08Why have I done this?
45:17It's just hard to see
45:19that he's clearly struggling a little bit
45:21but there's no handbook.
45:23No one turns up after
45:25your loved one has died and says,
45:27right, this is what you do.
45:29Caroline did a really nice job
45:31of trying to bring him out of his shell
45:33but I think he needs a bit more time.
45:47I honestly want to rule my dad out.
45:49I think if we send him on a date now
45:51he's just going to clam straight back up.
45:53So what are we thinking?
45:55Who needs to get to know each other better?
46:00Do you want to get married?
46:02Definitely, yeah, I'd love to get married.
46:04Are you OK?
46:08Hey, hey, oh, my God.
46:10Hey, hey, oh, my God.
46:19I want to see.
46:21Oh, my God.
46:23Is there room for one more?
46:25She's just coming out of the sun in the park.
46:27She's going to be a little bit of a game changer, I think.
