It's springtime, the blossom is blooming and love is in the air as Fred welcomes more single people looking for love to the new-look First Dates restaurant. And in this first episode of the new series, one dater faces more than she's bargained for. First up, dapper 24-year-old gent Will is looking for his English rose to share his love of the countryside, but he's never had a girlfriend and isn't a natural when it comes to chatting up a lady. He loves tweed, and so does his date, Fran; is she the answer to his dreams? Mum-of-two Emma, who's 47, is all glammed up and ready to play the love lottery, but Cupid throws a huge surprise her way. Emma's had numerous dating disasters, and when the man who broke her heart walks through the door the drama begins. Also searching for Mr Right is science student Sameer; he's clever, ambitious and charming, but as he reveals to his date Ciaran, life isn't always as easy as it seems...
