The Undateables tv series

hehadlotsofguts

Does anyone here watch it? A new series has started on channel 4. The series is about people with disabilities as they try and find a boyfriend or girlfriend. I find the series thought provoking and inspiring. People have been saying that the title of the programme is horrible and it implies that disabled people are undateable. I think the title itself represents society's view of disabled people and dating. The programme helps break the stigma.

what are everyone's thoughts?

Well I think the title of the programme is certainly unfortunate and not everyone will get the subtlety of meaning there. I have a lot of time for the disabled (a number of members of my family have either mental or physical disabilities) and they have my empathy and respect so any show that highlights their issues and happiness gets the green light from me. That said, I've not seen it but then I watch very little TV these days.

I never watch tv either, i stream it using the All 4 Android app. It's a lovely programme.

Well in that case I'll try and catch an episode.

I actually caught one of those episodes a while back but it was just the last few minutes. It seemed decent enough to be fair. -{

The Norwegian version of this program is a group of people with disabilities who try to reach the top of a mountain together. I'm not kiddding:

I saw the title of this thread and thought it was a documentary about my circle of friends in high school ;%

The title fitted half of my friends in high school. Weirdly half of them were nerds and the other half were very outdoorsy types (mountaineering etc.) Even weirder - there was some overlap

The fact that even I, found someone proves there's someone for
everyone ( on a good night more that one )
