The cameras follow Shaine from Bournemouth. He is a prolific amateur poet who suffers with a learning disability and desperate to find love. Carolyne is a bubbly 29-year-old from Greater Manchester who is fed up with always meeting the wrong guy. She woke up five years ago after going to bed paralysed from the chest down after a weak blood vessel burst in her spinal cord. The cameras follow her after she meets a man called Wayne.
Looking for love can be tricky, but some find it harder than others. Add disability to the equation and it can sometimes seem almost impossible. This uplifting three-part series follows the journeys of several extraordinary singletons as they enter the dating circuit in pursuit of love.
From a stand-up comedian with Tourettes and a trapeze artist with brittle bones, to a media student with Down's Syndrome, an amateur poet with a learning disability, and a skateboarder with a facial disfigurement, the series follows them as they enter the world of blind dates, matchmakers and speed dating.
With the help of Searchmate, one of the UK's leading personal introductions agencies, and Stars in the Sky, a specialist dating agency for people with learning difficulties, The Undateables explores the realities of looking for love in an image-obsessed world, where too many people make snap judgements based on first impressions - and even consider some to be 'undateable'.
