I used to love this show back in the day. It was fun back in a more innocent age. Great to see the old ads too.

You're absolutely right ✅

[@A100-y2c]

Please tell Jerry I said hi.

[@denisesmith2745]

I’m from Texas and found this. Thank you so much! I love it! I lived in the Bahamas and have so many British friends. I take it from the comments, the host must have passed. She was terrific. RIP

[@ashsqx3246]

loved the commercials. wish to go back in time to those days...

[@kathrynbillinghurst188]

It was the best 😊Era…the friendliest in history! 😪🥹🤦‍♀️ I miss feeling safe and going for walks at night around the block, to the park and shops! Playing in the street until parents called us in for dinner! 🤗😌✨🌛

[@kim.in.nature.]

It's great when you see the entire process in one show!

[@joolsner]

RIP Cilla, you bring back a lot of memories from my childhood, watching this with my family when I was a child.

[@NoName-jq7tj]

The sound of the audience applause is so 1980s. You’d hear it at the start of all Friday/ Saturday evenings.

[@kathrynbillinghurst188]

I take it that you lived close to the studio? My hubby lived down the road from a Lion 🦁 Sanctuary! He was always worried and at night hear the booming ROARS close by!! 🫤🥺😳😧😬😥

[@johndearden7931]

Shame the audio is off track.

[@Me-ji2pn]

4:10 cilla called her a young lady - she may be but those 80's perms made the women look a lot older.

[@colleenjohnson6261]

Eeh by Eck lad Thank you for bringing back some wonderful memories. R.I.P Our Cilla you was Our Northern Queen. You gave us a " Lorra Lorra Laughs.x

[@Embracing01]

The most annoying thing about Cilla where here choice of words, "Heh by Eck", never once heard a scouser talk like that. She was the ultimate scouse stereotype.

In what way do you mean by that?

[@theotyler8350]

It is a shame, that blind date is no longer on television!

[@theotyler8350]

Because, both Pall O’Grady and Cilla Black have passed away! They were very close celebrity friends! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Brings back so memories, you were a star Cilla and will never be the like of you again. Cilla RIP we will always remember you

[@hannahleigh7008]

Tom Stevenson she's dead?!?!?!

[@theotyler8350]

What the fuck are you trying to say? Paul O’Grady took over the show after she passed away with a fall! Both of them were very close celebrity friends! And now, Paul O’Grady has passed away as well! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@theotyler8350]

Blind date is no longer on television! Unless, they will find a replacement presenter to replace both Cilla Black and Paul O’Grady! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@theotyler8350]

Guys and girls can no longer find a partner through blind date anymore! Because, like I have said! Both presenters have passed away! And the show is no longer on television! Of course, this is not true what I am about to say! Because not everybody uses this sentence! But, most people want to believe! That TV show is dead, like it is no longer showing on television for good ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Watching for the ad breaks

[@xxYOURBIJOUxx]

Was Steve Baker someone who turned out to be famous? Never heard of him so just wondering why he was in title thumbnail?

[@Dave-ko2pr]

I wondered that too? Does anyone know who he is ?

[@zanducktv2398]

Maybe the show budget didn’t allow at that time, but you don’t really get a true impression of how the returning couples got on from just a handful of photos. Much better when filmed footage was introduced.

[@lemon__j]

As a betting man, I never would have thought she'd pick number 2. Just goes to show how much inside information helps.

[@sharonwoods5825]

I have discovered this show and like it so much more than the American Dating Game. This is almost like a combination of Love Connection and the Dating Game. Cilia Black was so cute as the host.

[@pershorefoodbanktrusselltr3632]

Those adverts were a treat!

[@denisesmith2745]

Cilla is one of the kindest, sweetest people I have ever seen. And so naturally a great host

[@Sam-cz2bz]

I can confidently say that the 1980s were a disaster for fashion.

The 70’s in Australia 🇦🇺 were by far the ugliest era for men. I loved the 80’s 🐨🦘🇦🇺

[@1971StephyBabe]

I remember this episode so well - both of them. I take it that Steve Baker is the one who's a builder living in Basingstoke and the male chooser in the first episode? i wonder what happened to him. Remember Cilla was convinced they would get on so well when he first chose Sally.

[@adamkane7513]

I don't know. Laughing at heterosexual white Men is still allowed.

[@Despond]

My face when the first woman picked number #2. They should have at least try to somewhat have the contestants within the same ballpark. It was great to see one date went well for once (at the end), they seem to always end in disaster.

[@heidikennedy9298]

Who is he???

[@joewellham1]

The days when the adverts reflected the actual 88% of the population and weren't entirely cast from Lagos or Kingston.

I remember a local radio DJ appearing on the show. His fiance was NOT impressed 😂 Also, having just watched this, I can't believe how cruel Cilla is about Martin's appearance. That would never have happened with a female.

Was it Matthew Henry from Newcastle?
