THIS heartwarming, tastefully done series highlights that while love doesn’t come easily to some, everybody has the right to love and be loved.

This episode catches up with some of the daters from the first series, including amateur radio enthusiast Richard, who has Asperger’s and up until last year hadn’t been on a date for 20 years, while media student and actor Sam, who has Down’s syndrome, fills us in on his dating situation.
