With a degree in computer science and a passion for documentaries, she's not just a pretty face—but night shifts are getting in the way of her love life. She's matched with John, a deep-thinking salesman who seems to have his fair share of grey matter and boyish charm but a morbid fear of first dates. They bond over their eccentricities…until John makes a blunder about David Beckham of all things.

64-year-old Iranian toy inventor Ali brings his own brand of fun and games to the restaurant.

27-year-old croupier Charlie wants marriage. "I might be a lesbian but I'm still a girl," she jokes. And her chosen girl is Leeds-based fashion designer Tania, who's also looking for love and a fairy-tale ending. There's some quiet smoldering going on at their table as they bond over tattoos and Sapphic love. Will there be a second date? Well, there's a mention of breakfast!

"There's nothing good about a banana," according to 31-year-old London boy Josh, who has a pathological phobia of the inauspicious yellow fruits.
