A Major Disappointment
Mischa Redfern
I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

.Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

I really don't know why people in the previous comments are giving this show so much stick it was harmless Saturday night fun with a host who was pretty , epic she always loved her fans and showed it.So Basically guy sits on chair asks 2 girls question and pick his date same with a girl 3 question picks date, based on there answers to the questions asked some of the answers where scripted to take out some really dirty innuendos but this happens with all TV show, and if someone messes there reply of course they will have to do a retake.Harmless Fun from a Manchaster lass I would of loved Margic Clark to take over though.

In 1985, Blind Date was born and became hugely popular throughout the entire nation but from the late 90s it was getting dangerously out of date, I personally loved it wondering how "last week's contestants got on", listening to Cilla Black's loud, cheerful, harsh-on-the-ears voice but all things need a stop and BLIND DATE stopped long after it needed to for the sake of its popularity or else, why would there have been people who already had partners, or people who were already engaged or possibly married or people who already knew each other that went on the show?! Everything was going wrong - after over ten years of single boys/girls who wanted a partner desperately! I was very sad when I heard in the New Year of 2003 the show would stop in the near future. It stopped because Cilla Black (born in 1942) was getting on and was getting bored of presenting it. I hoped that she'd reconsider but now, as I am a lot older and wiser, I personally don't blame her! Her own life at that time was tragic and all the rowing, playing away and unsuccessful dates between the contestants were probably getting on her nerves - Well done, Cilla! So, there are many reasons why it was long past its sell-by-date:1. To start with, the dates turned out the way Cilla Black had intended them to be - romantic, one single man/woman finally meeting the one they love but ever since about 1998/1999/2000 a hell of a lot of people went on that show just to get their 15 minutes of fame and their poor chosen dates were left heartbroken. 2. The dates usually turned out to be nothing but disasters leading to major rows! It looked like a chat show where unhappy people argue. 3. The couples who never got on used to play games on each other and have affairs with other people, who were usually natives. 4. All these things must've been heartbreaking and actually unhealthy for the contestants, let alone Cilla who was in her 60s at the time of "Blind Date"'s permanent end.I did like sitting in the lounge on a Saturday night with a takeaway and watch this fun-filled, but somewhat stale game show hosted by the legendary Saturday night hostess. Well, nothing lasts forever - it can't last forever, even TV Programs. R.I.P Blind Date!

I did enjoy watching BLIND DATE when it first broadcast in the mid 80s . In fact it was often a topic of conversation between my work mates and myself on a Monday morning: " Hey see Blind Date on Saturday ? See that guy that bird got ? what a geek " But I very quickly ended up hating the show . It`s painfully obvious that the questions and answers are written in advance and are delivered without any conviction : " What-job-would-I-like?- I-would-like-to-be-a-mechanic-so-I-could-service-your-body-work "
At the end of last year presenter Cilla Black announced on the show that she would be leaving . I`m sure many millions of viewers left the show round about 1990

Cilla Black, now with a better dress sence (no more cheesy checkered suits!) hosts a show where a man/woman chooses a partner out of three people and they go on holiday. The thing is, they've never met and the questions are usually really stupid and how you can find the love of your life through these three questions is daft. The following week, the couple come back. Will they get together? Probably not!However, it's cosy, easy to watch, funny programming. And Cilla seems the perfect scouse-matchmaker (even though we don't know what one of them is). Good TV never to end.So if you're single and up 4 a laugh, go on BLIND DER-DATE with your host Miss Cilla Black!
