You can give without loving, but you can't love without giving.
And no more so than at Christmas.
This is no ordinary restaurant.
This lady is dressed to kill.
You look fantastic.
No one in it besides the staff has ever laid eyes on one another before.
You're absolutely gorgeous, by the way.
Hi.
Rebecca, nice to meet you.
Pleasure to meet you too.
Oh, sorry, just...
I'll just do the one.
All the diners are single and on a real blind date.
You're a bit, you know.
This is good meat.
I'd like to hear that again one day.
Have you got mascara on?
Are you kidding me?
They've been brave enough to let us eavesdrop...
I can't remember her name, what am I going to do?
...on one of the most intense meals of their lives.
I do look awesome in latex.
But you don't have to sweat.
Some of them will crash and burn.
Do you get funnier the more you drink?
Let's hope so.
Cheers.
Others are about to strike it lucky.
Stole that one.
They've been brought together...
Are you all right?
At least you're getting your kit off.
Cheers.
I went into hospital straight and I came out gay.
...based upon their likes and dislikes.
I wanted to be a wrestler, innit?
I love wrestling.
I got a Hendrickson tonic.
Oh my gosh, that's literally my jam.
What happens next is down to them.
Wow.
The saying goes, there's someone out there for all of us.
These people are all hoping that it's true.
So, Victoria.
Scott, are you serious?
The First Dates restaurant has seen so much love this year.
Well, this is me, Santa.
It's been a magical place.
What is it going to be?
To see two strangers meet and find love
is one of the most beautiful things in the world.
I love you.
Tonight, we have some very special guests.
We have changed their lives
and they are coming back tonight to see us.
It's going to be amazing.
What better time than Christmas
to celebrate the love that blossoms in these four walls?
Don't start.
And for those who didn't find what they were looking for
first time round...
I'm back.
How are you, Louisa?
I'm back.
Now it's really Christmas.
I want to give them another chance at love.
Bow one.
Did it blow in?
Because if there is one thing we know about Christmas,
miracles do happen.
I guess we owe quite a lot to First Dates now.
Without them, we would never have met, would we?
No.
How are you guys?
Hi.
Are you all right?
You OK?
I'm good, thank you.
On a magical August evening,
Cupid's arrow struck Sian and Nick in the First Dates restaurant.
Four months later, they now call each other Siany and Nicky.
So you're officially boyfriend and girlfriend now?
That's it?
You haven't moved in, though?
Not yet.
No, not yet.
It's a bit too soon.
No, we're just, yeah,
we're looking forward to our first Christmas together now.
It's amazing, isn't it?
Yeah.
I know, it's so mad.
It's just so strange.
We said earlier, I expected at best
you'd come on a date, you'd have a few drinks.
Have a good time.
And then you'd go your separate ways.
But walking through that door, I didn't think that
we'd be sitting here again.
The best thing about Nick is probably his personality.
100 percent.
That's the first thing I liked about him.
That's what they say when someone's ugly.
You're not ugly.
Shut up.
Hi.
How you doing?
That's all right?
You look well there.
How you doing? I'm Nick.
Nice to meet you.
I'm Sian.
Nice to meet you, Sian.
Felt like in a bubble, like the whole train journey home
that night after we went out after as well.
And we had a first kiss at
Waterloo.
Waterloo station.
You've met each other's family?
Yeah.
Yeah, Sian.
Yeah, we've met parents.
You got a seal of approval from both sides?
Yeah, definitely.
Yeah, when she watches it and my nan says,
isn't that funny, that thing that he does with his tongue?
I don't know what I was doing.
I was drinking my drink, but I kept dipping my tongue into the glass.
I don't even do that normally.
I remember the table where you were.
It's just there.
Yeah, just there.
Not too far.
We could have a look if you want.
We'll go back and see where it happened.
Are we allowed to sit in it?
You can.
Your eyes are so blue, aren't they?
Yeah, they're really blue.
Really blue.
Someone's told me if you fall in love with someone's eyes,
you fall in love with them forever.
It's cute, isn't it?
Yeah.
It's true, though.
Look at your eyes.
Oh, are you?
It's like, yeah.
As soon as I see her again...
It was the same.
Yeah, we went out and all those feelings came back.
Every time we meet up and do something,
I see you, I just sort of fall for you a little bit more, I suppose.
Yeah, definitely.
I can't really imagine a life without you now.
Cheers, guys.
Well done.
Congratulations.
No, thank you.
Thank you.
Stop doing that with your tongue.
I'm doing it again.
Sian and Nick were my table.
Yeah.
I've had the most successful tables, right?
Why are you in my ear for?
I have, haven't I?
Most of my dates are still together.
Hi, guys.
Hi.
So, what are we having?
It's me, right?
No, no, it's definitely me.
It's not you.
It is me.
It's not.
It is.
It's not you.
It's definitely not.
As some bask in the heady delights of newfound love,
others are still seeking it out.
Amongst them, nursery nurse Hannah.
How are you?
Hello.
Merry Christmas.
I would like to have a boyfriend at Christmas
because we could do amazing things together,
like go winter wonderland
and get in the Christmas mood together.
But a boyfriend isn't just for Christmas,
it's a boyfriend for life.
So, tell me, what sort of man would you like for Christmas?
Someone who's nice.
Someone who's nice?
Yeah, who would treat me well.
My celebrity crush is James Corden.
He's, like, proper cuddly.
Like, he's like a little teddy bear.
And what would he look like?
I'd like a bit of a beard and maybe some tattoos.
And maybe some tattoos.
Hannah's very own Christmas gift is on its way.
A tattooed teddy bear in the shape of serial returnee
and eternal optimist, Luke.
How are you?
Yeah, I'm well, yourself?
Nice to see you.
You OK?
Yes.
You're looking amazing.
It's me again.
Would you like a bit of Netflix and chill?
Is that what you say on your Tinder profile?
Some men say that, like, Netflix and chill.
I like literally just watching Netflix and chilling.
It means, like, they just want to have sex with you.
I've learnt from my mistakes from the last two dates, you know?
Just a bit too, like, can't be treating the girls
like one of the lads, I need to treat them like a lady.
I would like to see you again.
Really?
I don't think it would be like...
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
..a boyfriend and girlfriend.
No, of course not.
But I think we got along really good as friends.
Hiya.
Hello.
You all right? I got you some flowers.
Thank you.
That's all right.
All right, have a seat, look.
Thank you.
What's your name, sorry?
Hannah.
Hannah, yeah, I'm Luke.
Hello.
What are you drinking?
Erm, what was it?
Mistletoe Kiss.
Mistletoe Kiss?
Yeah.
Very well.
Do you want another one or are you all right?
I'm all right, thanks.
All right, can I have a Mistletoe Kiss as well?
I always.
How old are you, sorry?
18.
18?
How about you?
15?
I'm 22.
Are you?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Do I look it?
I think it's the beard.
Serious, I had a bigger beard before, I just trimmed it down.
You was on here before.
Oh, my God.
For me, it was so, so hard just to cut off the beard.
Like, cos for me, the beard's where all my confidence comes from,
like, especially when, like, talking to girls or approaching people.
Bye.
It's the type of guy I am sometimes.
But right now, I think, yeah, I do look a bit sharper,
I do look all right, so...
Yeah, I feel decent right now.
Shall we pull these crappers? Right, get going.
I get a bit competitive at this stuff.
Cool style one.
What's the joke?
What is it?
What do you call a teacher that's always late?
Mr Boss.
Mr Boss!
It's terrible, innit?
Cheers.
You don't usually fit my head like that, I've got a massive head.
So many people have come and gone through these deals.
I know.
What's that?
Lemon, innit?
That's not a lemon.
They're not?
It's ginger!
Can I have some more? Do you want some beer?
Yeah.
Next to join the Yuletide reunion, our happy couple, Dan and Adam.
What's so funny?
You just make me laugh seeing you both here.
That's a jumper, this doesn't look good.
No, this is good, I like that.
Well, you know, you've got to get in the spirit, haven't you?
Yeah, it's nice.
Since their eyes locked three months ago,
they've hardly let each other out of their sights.
Hi!
How are you, all right? Very good.
Merry Christmas.
Nine years, I've been single until I met you.
It's like the universe is pushing us together all of a sudden.
Because in the first week we had four dates.
A chance encounter where you don't know each other to something meaningful.
It just works.
It's great.
It was the eye, the eye contact, wasn't it?
Mm.
We did just go on straight away, didn't we?
We did, yeah. Just clicked.
So, where have you come from?
Suffolk.
Little town called Beresford, Edmonds.
I've got to go to Ipswich on Tuesday for a couple of nights.
Really? Yeah.
So there's lots of little weird sort of things that you think,
like the fact that I met him on the Sunday,
and the Tuesday and Wednesday I was in Ipswich,
half an hour away from him, whereas normally I wouldn't be there.
Cheers. Cheers.
Merry Christmas.
Down it.
No.
It's hot.
Exactly, exactly.
Yeah, it is hot.
The only thing I didn't like at first was the top knot.
But I'm kind of warming to it now.
Kind of.
Don't start.
Seriously.
Am I eating?
Is it love?
Oh, yeah.
That's what freaked us out, wasn't it?
Because it's like, we're not teenagers, do you know what I mean?
And how can I feel like for this person so quickly?
But it was literally like that.
Come on here, have a good time, have an experience,
maybe meet someone, might make a friend out of it,
you know, maybe have a couple of dates.
I've already had my Christmas present early.
Me too. Yeah.
Merry Christmas.
So they're very much in love and they don't want to be disturbed,
so don't talk to them.
I've got a corner.
You've got the corner.
It's the corner of love.
Yeah.
Is that right?
Yes.
Well, thank you very much.
I've met him now, I can see who else walks in.
There is no greater pleasure at the end of the day
to see a date that goes well.
It's amazing.
I didn't have any idea that this would happen.
I know, we said the same thing.
I know.
We've seen each other every weekend.
Yeah, that's what we do.
Yeah, we have as well.
When a date goes well in the restaurant and they walk out,
we're always wondering what's going to happen next.
We're going away next weekend, aren't we?
Yeah.
Oh, where are you going?
Just a country manor in Egham.
Christmas romantic getaway.
Yeah, exactly.
And really, we can only hope that they grow into something beautiful.
Does it feel really homely?
Yes, it does, it does.
It feels like...
A totally different feeling to when it came in the first time.
Yeah, yeah.
Now it's like, hey, old friends.
Yeah, it's like a family, isn't it?
Yeah, it's lovely.
Will you pull a cracker with me?
Yeah, but don't we...
No, you're pulling it properly.
You're going to win.
Yeah, I know you do.
Ready?
All right, so relax.
Christmas day.
OK.
Ready?
Go.
Oh, yes, yes.
Oh, look, smell.
Smell it.
Once a stranger to the world of dating,
this is theology student Louisa's second coming to the first dates restaurant.
Oh.
I'm back.
How are you, Louisa?
I'm back.
You OK?
Good to see you.
The date, why didn't it go well?
I think I was too nervous.
Got my nerves, got the better of me.
Probably a little bit of verbal diarrhea.
I'm about to do my final year in theology.
Everyone's like, are you going to become a nun?
And I'm like, I'll just ring the abbot and check.
I'll just ring God.
No, um...
I literally don't myself down, I make myself really stupid.
But obviously, if you're trying to impress someone,
that's not necessarily the way that you do it.
I've really enjoyed your company,
and I'd love to see you again, maybe in a friendly way.
But perhaps not in a dating way.
No, I think, like, friends, yeah.
I mean, it can only get better.
How does it feel to be back?
I'm ready to slay the males.
I'm joking, I'm not at all.
I literally cannot control myself.
It's another chance to see how the dating game works,
and see if I can actually, like, excel.
I love your top, by the way.
It's my mum's, pre-her marriage to my father.
It's, like, quality vintage.
I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
All I want for Christmas is you
Merry Christmas, everyone.
Luisa's next encounter with a male
comes in the form of Mariah Carey-enthusiast Will.
I went to a boys' school,
so success is quite limited with girls.
I mean, severely limited to kind of...
That teacher's quite attractive, isn't she?
What I'm really looking for is someone that is really interesting.
There's got to be something about them.
If she can tell a joke or two, that's ideal.
Oh, my God, how exciting to meet you.
Nice to meet you.
Do you want to sit down?
I would absolutely love to.
It's very exciting, isn't it?
Yeah, it's all very exciting, isn't it?
Merry Christmas.
Very interesting.
Merry Christmas.
Where have you come from?
I've come from... Well, I'm at uni in Exeter.
What are you studying?
Theology.
Oh, very cool.
I'm, like, such a geek when it comes to my degree.
It's good.
I think it's more important for me to, like,
make sure that they have a good time
as much as I'm having a good time,
but I don't really know how to do this
because I don't want to lose who I am,
but obviously I've got to make sure that they're liking me.
Cheers.
Merry Christmas.
Merry Christmas, indeed.
Indeed, indeed, indeed.
The beauty of life is to be different.
Trust me, no matter who you are,
there is someone who will love you
because of your eccentricities,
not despite them.
Enjoy.
Cheers, thank you.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God, it's turkey.
Oh, my God.
When do we do crackers?
OK.
I think we do it after starters.
I think that's when we do it.
Yeah?
I hope there's hilariously bad jokes in there.
Yeah.
I do stand-up comedy.
This is my material.
I do too, so you have yours, I'll have mine.
Do you actually?
I dabble here and there.
Dabble there and there.
That is so great.
Yeah, it's quite fun.
Oh, my God.
Get right in that corner.
Christmas jumpers.
Perfect.
While our happy couples celebrate their first date success,
one date wonder, Luke, is just warming up.
So, like, what's your house like around Christmas time?
It is nice.
Really nice Christmas time, innit?
As much as it's nice having presents,
I like to see my family all together.
Yeah, mate.
My family, like, mean the world to me.
Like, we're all so close.
My mum had cancer a few years ago.
Seeing my mum when she was ill, it was hard, like, so hard.
It's changed my outlook in life,
because it does show you that life is way too short.
Are you close with your mum and dad?
Oh, yeah.
I'm literally just such a family man.
I'm so close with my mum as well.
Such good relationships I have.
I even work with her as well.
She's got me my job, like, so pretty cute.
Me and my mum walk to the bus stop together,
we go to work together.
She's always in my Snapchats, I'm snapping her,
getting her to sing certain, like, rap songs and stuff.
Like, she does it, never wrote it off,
but everyone else finds it funny, so she loves it, man.
I don't live with my dad.
They split up when I was, like, one or two.
But he, like, stayed in my life, literally,
throughout the whole time, anyway.
But he's, like, my best mate now.
My dad's always told me, as Luke, mate,
the only way you're going to find the perfect girl that you like
is if you're just going in there, being yourself.
You don't want to be someone else,
cos that's just not going to work out.
I always take that advice, that's good advice.
I believe in it.
Right, cos when you leave here, you can tell your mates
that you've pulled yourself a cracker.
That's right.
That was a good one, innit?
No. No, it wasn't.
I'm appalled.
I've ruined this date already.
I may as well just say no already,
and become best friends.
Have you ever put anyone in the friend zone?
Yeah.
Really?
I've done it quite often, yeah.
I'm not surprised.
No, because, like, you say you go on a date,
and then at the end of the date you go to kiss them.
You're not going to kiss someone you don't fancy.
It's not necessarily the kiss, it's the hug.
And you're like, oh, just got zoned.
Next to join Fred's festive reunion,
and bringing a touch of vintage class to proceedings,
born and bred Londoners Billy and Sandra.
Oh, lovely.
How are you, Billy?
Good to see you too.
Good to see you.
It's been three years now since Jeannie passed away,
and loneliness is getting harder.
I still dream about romance,
so I end up cuddling a pillow.
That's all right.
Thank you.
Oh, I don't think so.
I'll do it.
Be a gentleman.
Be a saint one tonight.
He is, yeah.
He was waiting for you.
Billy came looking for a companion,
and ended up with his very own Ginger Rogers.
You are supposed to be leading.
What are you doing?
I don't know.
I'm not dancing.
Don't miss steps.
I've never, ever met anyone as wild as Sandra.
I think I'll give Fred and Sam a run for their money
when I've got her back.
Yeah.
How are you, Billy?
What's going on here?
Lovely to see you again.
Hello, mate.
All right?
I don't think I could have picked a better match.
Oh.
Oh, that's sweet.
Oh, look at Richard.
Where's Richard reacting?
How are you?
Very good, how are you?
Yeah, really good, thank you.
I mean, here's the question.
How many mince pies is mince pies?
It's like this big.
One big one, yeah, yeah.
Is it like, what's the ratio of pastry to filling?
I'm definitely old-fashioned in love.
I've never really done the whole, you know,
going out clubbing and meeting girls and all this,
so I'd much rather take them to dinner and have a good chat
and see what they're like.
I like your socks, actually.
Well spotted.
Do you know, actually, I'm wearing my lofty socks.
So, I'm a really big art fan.
Go on.
And I've got a starry nose.
That's nice, nothing like a classy sock.
Good sense of humour, absolutely crucial.
It's really important to have a laugh with people you've just met
and bond over mutual ridiculousness.
So, how is dating in Exeter?
Yeah, I mean, I think it happens, but no.
It occurs.
Yeah, I don't really, like, massively do it.
No, you're not a serial dater.
I'm not a serial dater, no.
I'm comfortable around men, yes.
Comfortable in talking about relationships, less.
So, what are you looking for?
What am I looking for?
I think someone who understands who I am.
I'm quite weird, like, I am quite weird.
Everyone's weird.
I mean, I just haven't been brave enough to make the first move.
The social situation dictates that the boy should make the first move,
but that's a bit depressing if no boy has ever made the first move.
I've sort of been in love with a very good friend of mine,
but I didn't want to lose that friendship,
so I didn't take the plunge.
You never really know, and you're like, is it unrequited?
And then you think, yes, it is.
Does he know now? No.
Does he know who he is? No.
Will he ever know?
No.
Probably not.
Everything OK, Luke? Yes, buddy.
Would I be able to get just a couple of glasses of champagne from the table?
No, be all right. Cheers, buddy. Thank you.
You never guess who it is.
That Luke.
What, the one that you didn't like?
Yeah, the ginger one.
Like him, yeah?
I'm not going to say I like him yet, Mum.
No.
Yeah, we're getting on fine.
Bye, love you.
Sorry about that. You all right?
You all fixed now? Yeah, I'm all fixed now.
All comfortable now?
I'm fine, cheers.
Whilst you were in there, I thought I'd order some champagne over, you know?
Thank you. Thanks for that, mate. Cheers.
Shall we have a Christmas cheers?
It's the third time lucky.
Shut up!
Erm, my eyebrows look nice.
Your eyebrows, mate, on fleek.
Eyebrows on fleek.
You've had a boyfriend before, right?
Not anything serious.
Nothing serious, yeah, same.
I think, like, with relationships, I ain't got no confidence.
Really? Neither have I.
But, yeah, I've never really been in a relationship anyway.
I don't know how many times you see a guy before you know, like...
I don't know, like, I'm not going to put out on the first date,
like, even on my... Not even on the fifth.
Fifth, yeah. I'm only joking, like...
Respect yourself, eh? Yeah.
I think I've been brought up with respect, so I'm going to respect myself.
So I'm calling you five dates, Hannah, like...
Shut up!
Nah, I've never been on a second date with a girl, like...
Always just one-date Luke, they call me.
One-date Luke. One-date Luke.
Hey!
When you look at a happy couple together,
the couple who are enjoying their first flush of love,
you know, that meeting of heart and mind,
you just can't help to think, you know, how beautiful it is.
And that's why people come to the first-date restaurant,
because they want that feeling for themselves.
And all we can do is cross our fingers,
work hard and make their dream come true.
Do you go out a lot?
What? Partying? Partying, yes.
I do, I do. What's your go-to social event?
My go-to social event is, like,
obviously Antiques Roadshow and a cup of tea.
Big night. Big night. Yeah, yeah.
Followed by University Challenge. Big night. Yeah.
Are you a clubber?
No, I don't go clubbing, I just play with cards in my bedroom.
Do you like card tricks?
Yeah. Can you do them? Yeah. Do it.
Do you want to see a card trick? Of course I want to see a card trick.
Right, pick a card, any card you like.
Remember it? Yeah.
How experienced am I with women?
I used to be a bit quieter and a bit shyer and that kind of thing.
Chuck it on there. Shuffle it into the pack.
I've definitely gotten more confident as the years have gone.
I've soon realised that, actually, there's a lot to learn about people
and everyone's got something to say and it's usually pretty interesting.
I have to turn those over and then just scroll through like that.
There's a card turned over.
What?
What even is that?
OK, that's magic. Oh, my God, that's really clever.
Can you sing? Yeah, of course I can.
I used to get called Ed Sheeran all the time as well when I had my hair done.
You do look like Ed Sheeran! I do look like Ed Sheeran, right?
I get told I look more like James Corden and stuff like that,
like the personality-wise. Shut up!
Yeah, all the time. That's my favourite person.
Is that your guy? That is my crush.
No way. I'm not even joking.
Mate, I've sorted you right out here, haven't I?
Hiya.
Oh, yeah, she's cracking, bro. She's really good-looking.
It's the first thing I probably noticed.
She's probably just getting her friends over me.
That's probably just because of my history, like...
Mum would be proud of me, actually. Would she?
Took some advice of her before I came on this one, didn't I?
Just treat her like a lady, Luke.
Don't talk to her like she's one of your mates, cos she's not.
Your mum knows well. She does, doesn't she?
You all right? Yeah. You nervous?
That's it. I haven't done this before, ever,
so I'm the same as you. I'm really nervous.
Mademoiselle. Thank you.
You're going to need a bib next time, ain't you?
Next time?
All right, I'm sorry.
Just assume.
Would you like to see each other again?
Here we go. You go first.
Go on. No, you go first.
You've done this before, so go on.
Yeah, exactly. I know how it works,
so now I know to let the girl say something first.
Yeah.
Oh, really?
That's an absolute treat, innit?
Yeah, I'd like to see her again as well.
Hey, don't forget your flowers.
Bye!
No-one's ever brought me flowers before,
or brought me champagne,
or pulled my chair back for me.
It's just the little things.
Little things in life.
You deserve them.
Take care, Luke. See you soon.
Bye!
I don't want to see you before next year.
That's Darren's word, that is, right?
What's this Christmas going to be like, then?
What Christmas? I don't know.
What do you reckon? I'll pop down your chimney, innit?
Oh, my God!
Oh, my God.
I can't believe you just did that!
Get this one, yeah?
Good things come to those that wait, so...
That was a decent Christmas present, really, wasn't it?
Worth waiting for.
What class were you off to?
Santa's grotto would be a treat, to be honest.
Yeah?
Fireman Paul is back
and still looking for someone
to join him under the mistletoe.
How are you? Are you all right? Good to see you.
Good to see you, Mary. Let's go to the bar.
Have a drink.
There was a massive reaction after my last date.
People thought I was crazy for letting her go.
How many children have you got?
I've got two. I've got two children.
I think we've got Anna's friend.
I think so. Thank you.
Bye-bye.
What do you think went wrong?
The fact that I have kids, maybe.
I just want to set the record straight.
It wasn't just about the children at all.
I need to find someone that we look at each other
and we know instantly
that there's an actual connection
and passion
and we want to rip each other's clothes off.
I wasn't nervous, but I'm feeling a little bit nervous now
cos I haven't been the first one in.
Yeah, that's right, yeah.
Now you know what the waiting's all about.
Executive PA Lauren would like to find a more traditional way
of swiping herself a boyfriend this Christmas.
I've tried dating apps and stuff.
It's probably not for me.
Definitely got a bit of a love-hate relationship with Tinder.
Like, download it and delete it several days later.
What's your name? Lauren.
Lauren. Yes, I was expecting you.
Good.
I think everyone's just there for what they can get at this moment in time
and nobody thinks about their future,
which is what I want to do.
Soppy.
Follow me. Hello.
Hello. How are you doing?
I'm very well, thank you. Good.
I'm good. I need a drink.
All right, me too.
I'm Lauren. Hi. I'm Lauren. Sorry, Scottie.
Or Poole.
Do you recognise me?
Yes.
Do you recognise me? Yes.
I was thinking, I saw you coming out of the hat.
No.
That's just too small a world.
Oh, wow.
We've been talking before.
Yeah, from Tinder.
We've had correspondents before.
I've been on dating apps and I've matched with a few people
and, like, we've liked each other,
but I've never actually got round to arranging a date.
So who knows who I could have let slip through my fingers.
We spoke for a while, remember? Yeah, I know.
And then... And then you went a bit weird.
Did I?
I think I just deleted Tinder.
Break my heart.
Did you cry?
I'm still now a little bit nervous and shaky
cos you broke my heart.
This is the one that got away.
I might be. Well, you never know. You never know.
Shall we do presents?
Oh, we haven't done presents. Do you want to do that?
Yes.
This looks very impressive. Yeah.
It's mainly cos I made them myself.
Well, he's flimmin' out.
I know. I'm so artistic.
That's very talented. Yeah.
Oh, I thought he was really nice.
He's so sweet.
He clearly had a really good sense of humour.
Oh, my God, how exotic is this?
I've never met anyone quite like Louisa.
Took you a second.
Isn't that cute?
It's even got a bandana.
That looks a bit inappropriate. It's, like, blindfolded.
Ooh, hello. S&M.
Not appropriate.
Hello, mystery man. Happy Christmas.
I hope you've enjoyed our dinner
and it hasn't been too bizarre.
Much love, Louisa.
Shall we do half and half?
I mean, I would pay if I could choose,
but it's very much up to you.
Shall we just do half and half?
Hey.
Hello. Hello.
I've brought my hat. Have you brought your hat?
Shall we put them on? Let's do this.
Hey.
Don't forget your moustache.
Jesus. Right.
Would you like to go
on another date?
Me first or you first? Yeah, you first.
Me first, I'm sure. Yeah, men first.
Men first, absolutely.
Yeah, I'd, yeah.
Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah. Go and watch some comedy. Thank you so much.
Thank you. Nice to meet you.
Oh, no, I really liked
the fact that we have, like, the same sense of humour.
There we go.
Wasn't that exciting? That was exciting.
And also, you're quite good-looking as well,
so... Thank you.
Proud yourself?
It's the hair. I knew it was a winner.
After you.
Oh, yeah, thank you.
Oh, hello.
What can we do
to the nearest drinking establishment?
Jingle bells, jingle bells,
jingle all the way.
Khalifa Lee taking up the invitation
of a return to where the magic began.
Joe and Naomi.
Now it's really Christmas.
How are you?
I'm good.
Lovely to see you. Lovely to see you.
You're looking amazing. Thank you.
How are you?
I've pretty much always known that I'm bisexual.
Ever since I was five years old,
my brothers had Pamela Anderson on their walls,
and I'm like, she's probably a bit more interesting
than she should be.
Four months ago, Joe challenged Cupid
to set up her first ever
date with a woman.
He didn't disappoint.
So have you moved in together? No.
Not yet? Not yet. Could be on the cards.
Could be.
I don't want to reveal too much,
but it's going very well.
Yeah. Thank you to you guys.
No, it's great. As soon as I saw you
walking through the door, I knew it was going to work.
Yeah. And the rest was history.
Indeed. Have you met each other's parents?
Yeah. First girlfriend to meet the parents.
That was a bit of a step
for me.
When you met my parents, it went really well, actually.
I was nervous because I was the first
girl that was being introduced.
So there was a lot of pressure on me then,
and I didn't feel like I was going to throw up
at a lot of points beforehand.
Is it
Bon Noël? Joyeux Noël, yeah.
Bon Noël, Joyeux Noël. Cheers.
Yeah, this Christmas, we are
going to be at my parents'.
Yeah, it's going to be awesome
snuggling someone. Yeah, waking up next to you on Christmas Day.
Mm-hmm. The stocking
at the lock. Are we going to have a stocking?
Oh, my God, yeah.
It's strange to be back there, I won't lie.
Yeah, it is.
It's weird to not be on a day of the year here.
What would you like for Christmas?
Do you want the honest answer?
What do you want?
I genuinely actually want a drill.
This is Sandra.
Hi, Sandra.
We're really lowering the tone now
of this call.
Is that not a nice kind of party?
Hi, guys.
What are we having?
Can you pick for me?
Because I'm judging you on this.
So we're having salmon
and beetroot.
That was a good choice.
And then we're going to have the turkey.
You all right with chipolatas?
Are you sure?
Are you all right with chipolatas?
If you are, then there's a problem.
Do we know each other?
Yeah.
From Tinder.
We spoke for about four weeks.
I just deleted Tinder.
This is meant to be, then.
It's a second chance for her.
For me?
No, because you messed up the first time.
She messed up?
I was interested.
Maybe you just weren't smooth enough
in your texts.
I'm not smooth.
Can you not tell?
What do you miss about being in a relationship?
In a relationship, it just feels
like someone's got your back and you've got their back.
It feels like it's you and them against the world.
So if someone's feeling down
or they're feeling low,
the best thing you can do is to make them
snap out of it as soon as possible,
rather than knocking someone and making them feel rubbish.
Trust me, I've been there.
You need to get the best out of whoever you're with.
Make them feel like
they can do anything when they're with you
or there's nothing that you can't do together.
And I'm saying my end goal is
there's no point in being in a relationship
unless it's going to end
in marriage and kids.
Because other than that, there's no point.
When eligible sales manager Scott
met executive PA Victoria
three months ago,
the stars were aligned.
How are you?
Very good, happy Christmas.
It's nice to be here.
Three weeks later,
they set up home together.
So has it been going for you?
Has it changed your life?
It's been 100 mile an hour.
Have you moved in?
Pretty much, yes.
We're not really ever apart.
It just works, doesn't it?
It feels like we've been together a long time even though we haven't.
It's so nice because it happened here.
It did.
I honestly don't think, if you wrote everything down on paper,
I wouldn't have picked Victoria.
But I'm so glad
we actually did go out on that first date.
Crazy.
It's just wonderfully crazy.
Do you know, I was just about to ask you
if you were married?
What, now?
Yeah, I am.
Because you kind of go no holes barred
on the actual date, don't you?
You kind of lay it all on the line.
Which we probably wouldn't have done in any other first date.
Where do you see yourself going?
I mean, for me,
I can't wait to have kids, right?
I want five.
And two adopted.
Yes, we have spoken about having kids.
I think we've spoken about everything, haven't we?
Marriage, everything.
After the date, the next day,
Victoria said, my mum's asked you around for dinner.
So the next day,
Sunday,
I was around for a Sunday dinner.
People become more attractive
when they've got big hearts
and good hearts, and I would definitely say
that you've got a massive heart.
We both agree this is one of the best experiences
we've ever had.
Did you expect this to happen here?
No.
The thing I love the most
is you see the real me.
Listen, I'll see you later on.
I'll let you enjoy your mulled wine, OK?
Are you OK? Yeah, I'm good.
He's very handsome.
I want you to do this one.
Give me two truths and a lie,
and make them interesting.
I did fancy you before.
I'm happy you're here.
One of those is a lie.
I'm really upset.
And I'm allergic to penicillin.
I think Paul did a pretty good job, yeah.
He was up to the challenge.
Is penicillin the lie?
Yeah.
She didn't let on
that she fancied me,
but I have a strong suspicion that she does a little bit.
Thank you very much. Cheers.
Bye-bye.
Take care. Bye-bye.
I think I do fancy him.
You again.
So embarrassing.
See you again.
Tonight? Yeah, tonight.
Thank you.
Are you lovely? Oh, look at that.
West End please, mate. Your finest cocktail bar.
But it's expensive.
Yeah.
Sounds about right.
Merry Christmas.
We all remember that feeling
the night before Christmas
when all we can think of
is that gift all wrapped up
under the tree with that big bow.
That anticipation
of what's inside.
It could be a dream gift
or it could be a pair of socks.
I'm getting to you. Yeah.
I am a bit titty.
Yeah. So you're nice and warm.
Yeah.
That's because we're in three layers and I'm wearing one.
Yeah.
So. So.
Victoria. Yeah.
Something at eye?
Well.
Well, well, well, miss.
Yeah, what is it? You know.
What? That we talked about, you know,
getting married. Yes. So.
So, so.
Scott, are you serious?
Are you actually...
Are you serious?
Yes.
No expense spared.
And you just lost it.
I said I wasn't going to swear, but now you've made me swear.
So will you marry me?
Yes, of course I will.
Yes.
Look at that.
I can't believe you did that.
I'm supposed to be the crazy one,
aren't I? I know.
Hello.
Are we going to see each other again?
No. No, I think.
Don't fancy it, really.
Or the other option is every day
for the rest of our lives.
There we are.
I still think I'm in shock.
I love how you think
it's so funny.
From small beginnings
to great things grow.
And none more so than in the first date
restaurant.
Et voilà!
This is the first date family!
Unbelievable.
Two people
take a very big chance at finding love.
And voilà!
It appears right in front of them.
I'm my own UK ninja.
Oh, did you?
I may be the maître d'
at the first date restaurant,
but next year, I think I'm going to be the maître d
at our first ever wedding.
Did you know this was going to happen?
No, of course not.
You didn't hope for it.
Well, one day, but not today.
But it's Christmas.
It's Christmas.
I love you.
I can't get over it.
Are you serious?
Yes.
This has been the best
year ever.
So much love.
And proof, it's often
the last key of the bunch that opens the lock.
How can we have such fun?
We've only just met.
And your soulmate really
can appear when you least expect it.
My absolute ideal woman is sat
across from me right now.
Joyeux Noël.
Merry Christmas, everyone.
Domino tea.
