Blind Date was a British dating game show produced by London Weekend Television. An unscreened pilot was made with comic Duncan Norvelle as presenter but it was eventually hosted by Cilla Black, who already hosted the LWT series, Surprise, Surprise. Blind Date ran on Saturday nights from 30 November 1985 to 31 May 2003. Blind Date will return for a one-off special in late 2013, to celebrate Black's 50-year career in the entertainment industry. This special one-off will be part of another programme, The One and Only Cilla Black, presented by Paul O'Grady. Blind Date producers are aiming to bring back some of the show's most memorable contestants who are still single, giving them a second chance to win a date.

dementednun I really don't know why people in the previous comments are giving this show so much stick it was harmless Saturday night fun with a host who was pretty , epic she always loved her fans and showed it.So Basically guy sits on chair asks 2 girls question and pick his date same with a girl 3 question picks date, based on there answers to the questions asked some of the answers where scripted to take out some really dirty innuendos but this happens with all TV show, and if someone messes there reply of course they will have to do a retake.Harmless Fun from a Manchaster lass I would of loved Margic Clark to take over though.
chrisbishop5000 In 1985, Blind Date was born and became hugely popular throughout the entire nation but from the late 90s it was getting dangerously out of date, I personally loved it wondering how "last week's contestants got on", listening to Cilla Black's loud, cheerful, harsh-on-the-ears voice but all things need a stop and BLIND DATE stopped long after it needed to for the sake of its popularity or else, why would there have been people who already had partners, or people who were already engaged or possibly married or people who already knew each other that went on the show?! Everything was going wrong - after over ten years of single boys/girls who wanted a partner desperately! I was very sad when I heard in the New Year of 2003 the show would stop in the near future. It stopped because Cilla Black (born in 1942) was getting on and was getting bored of presenting it. I hoped that she'd reconsider but now, as I am a lot older and wiser, I personally don't blame her! Her own life at that time was tragic and all the rowing, playing away and unsuccessful dates between the contestants were probably getting on her nerves - Well done, Cilla! So, there are many reasons why it was long past its sell-by-date:1. To start with, the dates turned out the way Cilla Black had intended them to be - romantic, one single man/woman finally meeting the one they love but ever since about 1998/1999/2000 a hell of a lot of people went on that show just to get their 15 minutes of fame and their poor chosen dates were left heartbroken. 2. The dates usually turned out to be nothing but disasters leading to major rows! It looked like a chat show where unhappy people argue. 3. The couples who never got on used to play games on each other and have affairs with other people, who were usually natives. 4. All these things must've been heartbreaking and actually unhealthy for the contestants, let alone Cilla who was in her 60s at the time of "Blind Date"'s permanent end.I did like sitting in the lounge on a Saturday night with a takeaway and watch this fun-filled, but somewhat stale game show hosted by the legendary Saturday night hostess. Well, nothing lasts forever - it can't last forever, even TV Programs. R.I.P Blind Date!
Jackson Booth-Millard This was one of the only okay things to watch on a Saturday night, then they obviously brought Ant and Dec along which changed everything and I never watched this after that. When I did watch Blind Date it was okay. The only thing I wasn't a big fan of was obviously Cilla Black as the host. Not just because of the surgery she's had on her mouth, but just her being all happy and too cheerful. I did kind of like seeing some of the dates, especially some of the fit or attractive women that were either the dates or the ones being dated. Hardly any of the Blind Dates went well, in fact, none of them did. The worst one was the girl that didn't go on the holiday! Amanda Holden made her first TV appearance, as a contestant. Cilla Black was number 36 on TV's 50 Greatest Stars, the programme was number 35 on ITV: 50 Greatest Shows, and number 77 on The 100 Greatest TV Programmes. Good!
Gubby-Allen Everything that's bad about TV. And the public too. A dulled-up bint will walk down the steps & say to Cilla "If there's one thing I hate it's Mummys boys, men who wear Orange and ... erm, blokes who eat banana's" or something stupid like that. Cue three gormless blokes to be led out on stage and yep, you got it, one's a Mummys boy, one's in an orange suit & the other one's got a bunch of bananas in his hand.One poor sod who was a contestant a few years back was crucified by the show & the media as he went on a supposedly singles show but had a girlfriend. I know of at least half a dozen people who've been daft enough to go on Blind Date, every one of which was in a relationship at the time.It's well past what sell by date it ever had.
