Don't know anything about it, so probably not.

Looking for love can be tricky, but some find it harder than others. Add disability to the equation and it can sometimes seem almost impossible. This uplifting three-part series follows the journeys of several extraordinary singletons as they enter the dating circuit in pursuit of love. From a stand-up comedian with Tourette's and a trapeze artist with brittle bones, to a media student with Down's Syndrome, an amateur poet with a learning disability, and a skateboarder with a facial disfigurement, the series follows them as they enter the world of blind dates, matchmakers and speed dating. The first episode features Richard, an amateur radio enthusiast, who has Asperger's. Richard will only date a woman who lives within a five-mile radius and won't eat on a date.

So now that I know what it is, I still don't think I'll be watching it. 
I liked it.
I loved it, cant wait for next week. Richard was brilliant 
I hope we find out at the end if any of them were successful in their dating.
Yep.
Liked all three.
I watched it and enjoyed it .I did like the tourette guy and his date .I hope they become a couple .When Richard started to eat his dates leftovers it made me laugh ,she couldn't leave quick enough.
The young girl in the wheelchair seemed very disappointed that her date had to use a wheelchair.Their date was over at that point.
I enjoyed it too, they were all interesting in their different ways. The girl who went out with the tourettes guy has a fantastic personality, he was the only one to get a second date, I hope they're still together
Richard was funny as was tourettes guy. didnt like the girl in the chair:0

It did seem that way didn't it? Maybe the edit?
Loved the guy with Tourettes, and his date, fingers crossed for them.

I've just watched it ..............very enlightening and - is it wrong to say entertaining? i loved Richard and Luke - not so keen on Penny though - I agree she didn't take to the guy because he was in a wheelchair - I thought he seemed really nice.
