Take Me Out is a British comedy dating game show hosted by Paddy McGuinness. It began airing on ITV1 in the UK and TV3 in the Republic of Ireland on 2 January 2010. The pilot episode was for Channel 4 in 2009. It is based on the original Australian show Taken Out. In September 2010, Irish broadcaster TV3 started broadcating an Irish version of the show. The series is produced by Talkback Thames (now Thames Television) for ITV. The first series was filmed at Granada Studios in Manchester, but due to the success of the first series, the second series was filmed at The Maidstone Studios in Maidstone, Kent which offered increased space and capacity for audience members. A third series began on 7 January 2012.[1][1]
Format
The objective of the show is for a man to gain a date with one of thirty single women. The women stand on stage underneath thirty white lights, each with a button in front of them. A single man is then brought on stage via the 'Love Lift' and tries to woo the women in a series of rounds, playing a prerecorded dating video, displaying a skill (such as dancing or playing a musical instrument), or playing another video in which the man's friends or family reveal more about him. At any point during the rounds, the women can press the button in front of them to turn off their light (their area of the stage will turn red if they do so). If, at the end of three rounds, there are still lights left on, the bachelor will turn off all but two of the remaining lights himself. He will then have a chance to ask one question to the last two women, before choosing which women he wants to go on a date with by turning off one more light. There are usually four men brought on in the course of a single episode.
If all the women turn off their lights before the end of the three round - what is referred to as a "blackout" - then the man must leave the show alone, accompanied by the Céline Dion version of the hit Eric Carmen song "All by Myself". On the first series, the successful couples go on a date to Fernando's in Manchester, which is actually Club Bijou on Chapel Street, the outcome of which is shown as part of the following week's show. For the second series, the date takes place abroad on the Isle of Fernando's in Tenerife. For the third series, the date takes place in Cyprus.[2] The show has become well known for its array of catchphrases such as "No likey, no lighty", "If you're turned off, turn off" and "Fernando's!".
Take Me Out: The Gossip
Take Me Out: The Gossip is a behind-the-scenes sister show that began WRG airing weekly on ITV2 from series 3, following the broadcast of the main programme. A similar format, previously broadcast online, featuring backstage gossip and interviews with the contestants, was regularly made available on itv.com just hours after the broadcast of the main programme. It is presented by Zoe Hardman and Mark Wright.

^ For the first time in the show's history, Aaron and Wen's date from the Isle of Fernando's was not shown after it transpired in the press just days after the broadcast that Aaron was in fact a male escort, who at the time of appearing on the show, also had a girlfriend and had also received a criminal conviction for punching a woman. It also later transpired that Wen was also a prostitute for a short period - and thus, at the request of the pair, their date segment was cut from the programme.[4]
^^ For the first time in the show's history, two black-outs occured in one programme.
^^^ For the first time in the show's history, only 3 men were brought down the love lift instead of the usual 4.
