Overview
- Alex and Sue Tatham appeared on BBC Breakfast on Friday as the programme looked back at Blind Date’s legacy on its 40th anniversary.
- Sue said she went on the show “for a laugh” and out of curiosity about how television is made, not specifically to find romance.
- The couple met on Blind Date in 1988 and married three years later, with original host Cilla Black among the wedding guests.
- Alex recalled that their wedding was filmed for the programme and broadcast the next day to an audience he put at about 17 million.
- The hosts noted the Tathams are among several Blind Date couples who married, as the show spanned 1985–2003 with a 2017–2019 revival under Paul O’Grady.
