I can't decide is it tacky and a bit strained, or are these oldies to be admired for sticking their necks out? I don't think it's something I would want to be on but they seem to enjoy it

Tacky

I watched it with my daughter and foolishly asked her if I looked as old as one of the contestants (I felt sure she would say "No") and she said "Older". I was so upset by this because, to me, the women looked ancient. As I sat there in stunned silence she said, "Oh, I've put my glasses on and you don't look as old as her. But you are nearly 70 don't forget!". That'll teach me!!
I am sorry to say this but I thought 2 of the men were very disappointing - I'd have turned off my light as soon as I could.
Yes the programme was tacky but I still enjoyed it grin

I think you've found the main attraction DanniRae- Do I look as old as that? Would I be seen in that dress? It is tacky but it's fascinating.

I'd have to say good on the ladies for having the courage to take part in the programme & the gentlemen.

Thanks dannirae , found it, a one off ....watched the first two but iplayer went funny when the last chap came on so never bothered to go back to it.......was funny, thought the one who done the splits would get snapped up lol.....think she was the best looking and figure out of the rest but by golly she was ott with the mouth opening wide several times with the surprised and excited look ????
