Undateables!

As a programme, I hope it helps raise awareness of the diversity of people... but I hate the term “undateable”.... 

....trying to think now of an alternative name..

is it quite a patronising programme...are we just meant to think... ooo bless them? 

“You do wonder why Channel 4 didn't go the whole hog and just use the title "You're weird and no one wants to have sex with you"..”

and

”

Overall, however, it's not the differences but the similarities you're left with: human beings who want companionship and physical affection. Sometimes funny, sometimes aching, it doesn't once say disability and dating don't quite fit.

With The Undateables, Channel 4 has a gem of a programme – but once the branding has done its best to misrepresent. And that despite the first rule of dating: a good first impression always counts.”

I give you a +1 for this. You've described it perfectly

Once you start watching, you realise the point they're kind of making is that these people aren't undateable...it's just society's face-value judgement of them. When you get to know them, they're awesome people who want to bring sunshine into someone else's life.
