Has anyone else been watching? I saw the first two episodes and really enjoyed them. Episode three of six is on at 10pm tonight, channel 4.

I love it! Episode 2 was particularly good

I enjoy this but I'm not sure what it brings to the format which is great anyway. Change of scenery and a bit more time together if it goes well but a long way to go for a shit date.

I like the change of scene. The hotel looks lovely and the surrounding countryside is beautiful. The storm last night was quite impressive

I think it seems a bit more intimate somehow as you see less of the other daters in the background and I like the receptionist.

Julie and Dave's stories last night were touching. How her first husband died and his triple heart bypass. I hope they stay in touch as friends. Sharlene and Daniel seemed to make a good couple and hopefully something works out for them. The other two younger couples did well too, so the episode had a decent feel good factor. I like how they genuinely try and set up people who are going to get on and don't go for the wind up or drama factor like so many other shows, I mean all the time, not just when they've gone to France.

Even if just to see my Fred

I love Fred...

I think I prefer the restaurant setting, with the hotel there is too much pressure I think..Also more chance of a holiday fling than actually arranging to meet again and follow it up.

I much prefer the older couples and root for them if they seem well suited. It's like their final chance for love!

Younger couples I kind of think they could just meet someone in a bar and even if they get together it won't last but that's me being cynical.

Loved Sharlene and Daniel last night, they seemed well suited and had such a laugh together.

Really wanted Julie and Dave to get together as he seemed lovely and very fond of her, I was slightly gutted she only wanted to be friends with him!
