“Marc Heffernan sets himself three weeks to get divorcee Sarah a boyfriend… meeting for an intimate tête-à-tête entails not only being filmed by Heffernan but also being quizzed by him.” The Times 17/07/05
“I did like Alex, her final date. When she reveals to him her dark secret, that she has a five-year-old child called Charlotte, he asks: ‘Boy or Girl?’ And then he tells her his own dark secret: that he always thought Neighbours was a fly-on-the-wall documentary. That’s quite funny.” The Guardian 18/07/05
