First Dates Season 14 Premiere | Channel 4 | Thurs 20 Feb 2020

The BAFTA-winning series is back as the First Dates restaurant reopens its doors to a brand new crop of hopeful singletons looking to find love on a real blind date. Jamie is 34, a plumber, and hasn’t had a proper girlfriend for almost 10 years. A geezer who drinks vodka and cranberry juice, he has a knack for saying the wrong thing.

Looks are the most important thing to Jamie. His date is Leigh, who is looking for a muscley, practical guy who’s good with his hands. Will Jamie’s flirting techniques be enough to win Leigh over, or will he make a meal of it in the First Dates restaurant? Shelly is a 57-year-old personal trainer from Chertsey who has been single for seven years since the tragic death of her partner.

Shelly’s date is David, a 61-year-old retired firefighter who’s been single for four years and is looking for someone to relight his fire. Last into the restaurant is 27-year-old Joe. A steampunk enthusiast dressed in full Victorian attire, Joe’s date is 29-year-old Jess from Wolverhampton, who used to work at the Black Country Living Museum, where she dressed everyday as a Victorian until the corsets got too much for her. Joe cannot believe his luck.

Freddie Flintoff’s Field of Dreams 5 July 2022: Episode 1 on BBC One

Eastenders 7 July 2022: Thursday on BBC One 11

Undeterred by the somewhat negative reception to his idea, he holds try-outs in his hometown of Preston and starts a training regime with a group of lively teenagers. He meets 15-year-old Sean, who has attended several different schools, and 17-year-old Ammar, who moved to the UK six years ago and had never even heard of Freddie. The boys have a lot to learn in a very short space of time, as they will ultimately be competing against teams that have been playing together for years, whereas most of these boys have never even picked up a cricket bat before.

Although they have just a few weeks of chaotic training and only a vague notion of the rules, Freddie is keen to test the boys’ progress and get them to play their first ever cricket match. However, not everyone in his urban posse is impressed with the rural setting or the traditions of cricket that Freddie is trying to draw them to.

Sporting legend Freddie Flintoff takes on his toughest challenge yet, creating a cricket team from scratch. But can he inspire the next generation to give cricket a chance?
