Original poster

My Mum, Your Dad

Oops got the title wrong in my first thread - have requested deletion

Starting tomorrow on itv1

“My Mum, Your Dad is a British dating reality show that is set to begin airing on ITV1 on 11 September 2023. It will be presented by Davina McCall and follows middle-aged single parents heading to a romance retreat for a second chance at love which is overseen by their children.”

From a Google for the show it appears there is already 1 season of the US called My Mom, Your Dad. So presumably the same format.

Anyone planning to watch?

Is this the show that was billed in the media as an upcoming middle aged Love Island earlier this year?

Sorry i am getting mixed up with the names @Callywals !!! I meant Monique not Tolullah.

I said Tolullah was stunning the lady who arrived last night.

I was agreeing with what @Theblacksheepandme posted at 11.05 today!

Callywals · 15/09/2023 16:38

@ilovebrie8 No worries, ha ha, I wondered if I'd missed an episode!

ilovebrie8 · 15/09/2023 16:40

I'm getting mixed up they need to wear name badges.!...like the other poster who was calling Roger George !😁

It's making me uncomfortable looking at that school disco rubbish and Roger's making me uncomfortable too, I feel like he's been thrown in and is floundering. Yes he's adult and capable of making his own decisions, but I don't feel like this was a wise one at all. Maybe things will change as the days go on though. I'd much rather they'd have done more group mingling, then speed dating and then started to think about who suits with who.

The new Martin loves himself so much, at least on first viewings, that I don't know why he needs anyone else. He gives off the vibe of wanting a vacuous worshiper of half his age or less. I felt really sorry for Luke. The other Martin made me laugh when he said 'yeah he's tall, but he's not as tall as me'

From The Radio Times

Ahead of his My Mum, Your Dad debut, Martin said: "I tend to go for powerful, intelligent, driven women, which usually means we end up competing with each other.
"I have difficulty committing, I still want to be that Peter Pan. Commitment-phobe? Maybe so. I don’t want to close any doors."
Age: 53
Location: Derby, lives in Ibiza
Job: Property developer
Martin M is a property developer who currently lives in Ibiza.
Describing himself, he said: "Tall - I’m 6ft 7 - handsome, intelligent, single. I’m business-minded, I try and lead a good life, but also with responsibility. I take my fatherly duties very seriously."
In terms of what excites him about joining My Mum, Your Dad, he said: "I’ve always struggled meeting people who are on my wavelength. So, I thought, 'If they’re going to line up several single ladies, I’m in.' What’s not to like?"
As for what makes him nervous, he added: "Being offline. I run a business, I’m always on the phone, so that will be unusual."
Martin is hoping to find someone "intelligent, confident, driven, funny, laidback".
He said: "I don’t think me meeting the female version of me would go very well. Someone who can be supportive. Not too overly competitive. Just someone nice and normal and laidback."

His wavelength is complete took.

Yes I am struggling to remember who they all are

Yes Talloulah has just walked through the door and given no indication of interest in anyone yet.

Show quote history

She has. She said new Martin reminded her of her ex, that she finds him attractive and is interested. I hope she is.

PandoraRocks · 15/09/2023 19:17

Don't like the new pair - both arrogant and think too much of themselves. Monique is coming across a bit shallow the way she zoomed in on new Martin. A shame, cause I like her.

swimlyn · 15/09/2023 19:28

But the Monique and new Martin thoughts can only be based on the carefully edited 'coming soon' bit. I feel that they're doing it deliberately to mislead.

Monique appeared to think he was an idiot for saying you only need 5 or 10 minutes to know if a person is 'the one'. Silly boy.

Jellykat · 15/09/2023 19:51

New Martins arrogance is so ugly, i wouldnt touch him with yours!
Very disappointed in Monique, she was coming onto old Martin bigtime, so if her head turns so quickly, i'd say shes fickle as shit and those tears were for the camera!

Think Roger likes Janey more then Caroline, but doesnt want to say.. shame as i think Caroline is the best in there.

Theblacksheepandme · 15/09/2023 20:04

I think Natalie is very attractive.

Theblacksheepandme · 15/09/2023 20:07

I don't think Roger was ever attracted to Caroline and just went along with things. I think we will see a different side to Roger if he goes on a date with Janey.

ThePoshUns · 15/09/2023 20:45

I think janey is a better match for Roger, she will bring him out if himself. Caroline is too much focused on his bereavement.

omgsally · 15/09/2023 21:06

Roger quite evidently doesn't want to persue anything with Caroline.

Theblacksheepandme · 15/09/2023 21:07

Do you think Caroline and Martin H might make a good couple? They're both so nice.

Yes! Theyre both very gentle open people, they havent mentioned each other tho, shame..

rockingbird · 15/09/2023 21:14

Darling... 😡 Martin m is bloody awful

FishPie2 · 15/09/2023 21:16

How smarmy is that Martin M - I couldn't be bothered to even look at him never mind speak to him.

Brumbies · 15/09/2023 21:16

Gothambutnotahamster · 12/09/2023 00:10

I really enjoyed it. I love that they're all glamorous but don't seem fake or plastic and actually seem quite normal.

I agree re Roger though - a year is no time to be ready to move on. Hope he's ok!

I have high hopes for the show Grin

Don't judge.

Unless you've walked in his shoes........

Roger quite evidently doesn't want to persue anything with Caroline.

Janey is a much better option for him, she's fun and jokes with him where as Caroline is full on smothering him. I'd love to see Roger spend 1:1 time with Janey. Sadly Carlton is batting out the park with Sharon, she won't entertain him at all and that's sad because he's a genuinely lovely guy. I'd still date him 😆 he's fabulous

FishPie2 · 15/09/2023 21:40

Wonder how they explained that meeting, why would their kids travel to the house from their homes for a 10 min meeting or do they know that the kids are all having a holiday together without knowing they are watching them. They must have travelled from home together with suitcases. Seems more and more set up.

ilovebrie8 · 15/09/2023 21:49

Aw bless Clayton!

Jellykat · 15/09/2023 21:51

Bloody obvious re Roger, poor Caroline

Theblacksheepandme · 15/09/2023 21:57

I'm tearing up for Caroline.

Jellykat · 15/09/2023 22:00

Hope she clicks with someone else, she really deserves to
