What a cruel name for a tv programme. |

Not the best of titles but quite a good programme in that it helps the viewers understand how people with autism for example relate to the world and the practicalities of certain handicaps. Even the people who run the dating agency have problems so understand the difficulties. |

Watched it for the first time last evening and longed to tell the girl with excess sweating problems that it can be helped. There is an operation that can be done that cuts some of the nerves I think that stops the excessive sweating |

At least the agencies give the people a way to meet others in the same boat, who probably would never have met otherwise due to lack of social contacts perhaps when many are too shy to go out to the usual haunts like pubs and nightclubs |

It is a very good idea for those vulnerable to be chaperoned. I enjoy watching how sweet they are, but not sure it is right for them to be screened and possibly ridiculed by some who see them? |

Does not most reality TV contain an element of voyeurism? When it comes down to it the people on the show agreed to be on it, their choice. The show could help other people understand the life and problems of these "undateables" and if it can help give understanding instead of mockery then good for them. Yes the title of the show is cruel and unfortunate but if it was called something nice and "cute" I would wonder at how many would watch the programme to begin with. |

A lovely programme tonight, great to see the proposals, the wedding and the new baby. It will give hope to others who have problems and shows them ways to behave with others with their limitations. I don't mean to sound patronising, but telling someone what to do or say does not always sink in the way watching someone doing things will do. |
