From the golden days of Blind Date with the late Cilla Black, right through to the social experiment of Married at First Sight , we take a look back at our favourite ever dating shows. Based purely on looks, the best part of this show was the gloriously awkward rejection that happened more often than not. Set in a fake jungle and presented by Chris Tarrant, Man O Man involved a group of ten men being judged by an audience of mainly drunk women.

TV dating show has British contestants have SEX to decide if they like each other
A singleton is shown five menus from which they must choose three. Well, we say depth. But it is brilliant. Perhaps the most memorable blackout of all time came in the form of poor Thomas from Stirling. But what did you expect to happen with that suit?
'Love Island' is the best British reality dating show you're not watching
Simultaneously the granddaddy of dating shows and the new kid on the block. Blind Date started in and ran for almost twenty years until, in an incredibly baller move, host Cilla Black quit the show live on air. Between them, they featured a grand total of one queer contestant — Alice, whose defining personality trait was being a big fan of Celine Dion.
Just like thirty years ago, contestants on the show are sent on a date with their pick from three potential, unseen partners.
The rest of the show is a trip. Each episode involves one clothed singleton and six naked contestants vying for their affection.

Their bodies are revealed in stages from the feet up, with one rejected at each stage. When only two contestants are left, the person deciding takes off their own clothes and chooses which one to go on a date with. If your Tinder date is going to be staring at your boobs anyway, why not just whap it all out?
Unfortunately, once you look past all the genitals, things start to take a turn for the worst. Why is it that the dating show with the most commitment to queer representation is the one designed to garner outraged Daily Mail headlines? Why do the strange educational cut-aways have such a terrible understanding of sex and gender?
2. Street Mate
If we were ranking on convenience, First Dates would win by a country mile. The premise is simple: The mating rituals of the straights are very strange.
Most of the dates go poorly in some way, and watching a few episodes in a row will leave you questioning everything you thought you knew about basic human interaction. Which gets us to a big problem with pretty much every show on this list: First Dates in particular features a wide variety of straight singles looking for love, but most of the time we only get to see a depressingly narrow vision of queer existence. First Dates , then. Honestly, I love Dinner Date.
