Press clippings

Relationships arise in the "comedy reality" show World Series of Dating - though there's no question as to whether these will endure. Three men are given the chance to chat up three ladies in a speed-dating format - though the ladies have lights to buzz (no likey ...) to eject the date should they prove overly boisterous, misogynistic or just plain dull. One-time "US dating champ" Doyle MacManus (played by Rob Riggle of The Daily Show) and James Chetwyn-Talbot (Tom Price of Torchwood) provide a joyous, sports-presenter-like running commentary.

While it is amusing to see how badly dates can go - not least when the objectionable Chris starts his first date by downing a glass of red - it is this presenter duo who give the show life, the outlandishly priapic MacManus contrasting deliciously with the prudish C-T.
