Mark McGettiganHOST
He's got a wall to himself.
Mark McGettiganHOST
"If you had to drop one of these players for the next five game weeks, who would it be and why?" Who would it be and why always reminds me of Blind Date.
Mark McGettiganHOST
Um, Cilla Black, who would it be and why? That was a, a common question.
Mark McGettiganHOST
Or what would it be and why? Uh, there's a bit of a throwback for the older listeners.

41 MINS LATER
Mark BallasGUEST
yeah.
Amanda HirschHOST
Well, let's talk a little about stuff outside the ballroom.
Amanda HirschHOST
Maura, you're hosting a reboot of the classic British show Blind Date.
Amanda HirschHOST
Yes.
Tom SalinskyHOST
And London Weekend Television, which had the franchise for London Television at the weekend, was the big comedy entertainment shows.
Tom SalinskyHOST
Blind Date, Game for a Laugh.
Tom SalinskyHOST
They took risks on sitcoms like Whoop's Apocalypse.
Tom SalinskyHOST
They were the obvious place to go for Spitting Image.
Oliver CallanHOST
And she's just been a- announced as the host of-
Alexandra RyanGUEST
Could she be getting any more shows? So it announced two weeks ago that she's doing a revival of Blind Date.
Alexandra RyanGUEST
So we were like, "Wow, amazing news." And now it's just come out that she is doing a US version of I'm a Celebrity...
Alexandra RyanGUEST
Get Me Out of Here! Um, and she's being joined by Rob, who was on the US Traitors with her.
Ian SmithHOST
I'm going to get back in amongst you.
Ian SmithHOST
Sir, Blind Date's coming back.
Ian SmithHOST
Who do you think should be the new host? Boris Johnson.
Ian SmithHOST
Boris Johnson.
David O'CallaghanHOST
While Steve Coogan's Legends, which I really enjoyed on Netflix, has been given a second season and will be incoming along with Prime Video, who have given a second season to the OC creator's YA-esque drama, Sterling Point.
David O'CallaghanHOST
Finally, not a renewal, but an exciting development is that Disney Plus are bringing back Blind Date.
David O'CallaghanHOST
And now immediately you're going, oh,
speaker_8SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
this could be a disaster.
David O'CallaghanHOST
She is so funny and so wonderful.
David O'CallaghanHOST
So yeah.
David O'CallaghanHOST
Maura Higgins doing Blind Date.
David O'CallaghanHOST
What? No, it's not
Matt CooperHOST
Okay.
Matt CooperHOST
Tell us, can you explain the phenomenon it is, Maura Higgins? Now she's, Joe, to be presenting the Blind Date reboot for Disney+.
Joe O'SheaPANELIST
Yeah, I mean, Maura Higgins has had an incredible career when you think about it, because so many people who went the route that she did, you know, kind of reality TV show and they're famous for 15 minutes, if that at all.
Joe O'SheaPANELIST
You know, they don't really have longevity in their career.
Elaine BurkePANELIST
And yeah.
Elaine BurkePANELIST
She kind of created great storylines, as they say, in these kind of productions.
Elaine BurkePANELIST
And I think, as Jo said, that's the stepping stones that have led to this blind date moment.
Elaine BurkePANELIST
And, you know, it's a revival of an old show.
Bonnie RyanHOST
her arse off.
Bonnie RyanHOST
Yeah, for anyone who doesn't know, Blind Date is coming back, I think on Disney Plus.
Bonnie RyanHOST
And it's Maura Higgins.
Bonnie RyanHOST
Holy moly.
Bonnie RyanHOST
Anything to do, like, dating shows just in general, I love.
Bonnie RyanHOST
Like anything like, Mary Harry, that one I'm watching at the moment, or Love is Blind, or just honestly, any dating show.
Bonnie RyanHOST
But like, Blind date.
Bonnie RyanHOST
Yes.
Richard OsmanHOST
So that's a fun one.
Richard OsmanHOST
Talking of reboots, uh, Disney+ bringing back Blind Date.
Marina HydeHOST
Ah.
Richard OsmanHOST
I assume you approve of their host choice.
Marina HydeHOST
And she, they're building something very good for her.
Marina HydeHOST
Um, there's something about that show.
Marina HydeHOST
I would love to watch Blind Date again because-
Richard OsmanHOST
Mm
Sarah CawoodGUEST
And then maybe there was a little bit of filming of them having a pretend meal or something.
Sarah CawoodGUEST
But it wasn't like they got whisked away like on Blind Date.
Sarah CawoodGUEST
It wasn't the
Miranda SawyerHOST
budget.
