Channel 5 has brought back the nation's beloved dating show Blind Date after 13 years, but while Paul O'Grady is already doing his late friend (and original host) Cilla Black proud in his new role as host, there's one aspect of the reboot that feels a little lacking.
That is, where did all the cool dates go?!
If you're of a certain age like us (sob) then you might remember Cilla used to send the couples all over the world on dates.
And we're talking exotic destinations here – places like the Maldives or the Bahamas.
But that wasn't the case on tonight's Channel 5 version. In fact, it couldn't have been more different, as instead of the couples getting an all expenses paid holiday, they were sent to play junkyard golf and table tennis.
Yup really.
What to Read Next
Viewers were quite horrified by this and instantly blamed Channel 5 for not digging deeper into their pockets, especially when Take Me Out sends everyone to the sunny island of Fernando's.
And even if the new series can't quite stretch to the Bahamas just yet, then viewers turned on the dates themselves, calling them boring and unimaginative.
We'll have to wait and see next week if it's actually golf and ping pong in Barbados or something exciting like that and they've had us fooled all along – what a great twist!
Blind Date airs on Channel 5.
