Take Me Out is a television dating game show, hosted by Paddy McGuinness, that started airing on ITV1 in the United Kingdom and TV3 Ireland[1] on 2 January 2010. It is based on the Original Australian TV show Taken Out. In September 2010, Irish broadcaster TV3 started broadcating an Irish version of the show.
Format
One single man has to try to impress thirty single women. Each woman has a (white) light which she can turn off (red) if she is unimpressed by the man. His aim is to convince as many women as possible to keep their lights on so that he can then pick, from the women remaining, the one that he wishes to take on a date. If there is one woman left, the man and woman will go on a date. If no lights are left on - what is referred to as a "blackout" - then the man must leave the show without a date, accompanied by the Celine Dion version of the hit Eric Carmen song "All by Myself".
On the first series, the successful couples were taken 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 (Tenerife). The show has become well known for its array of catchphrases such as "No likey, no lightey", "If you're turned off, turn off", "Let the shepherd see the pie" and "Fernando's!".
The game starts when the single man descends the "Love Lift" while his chosen song is played in the background. This is followed by a video from the single man's friends and family. In the third round, the single man attempts to show off an ability he has in order to impress the women. After these rounds, if there are more than two women left with their lights on, the single man must turn off the lights of those remaining until he is left with two. He must then ask a question to both women, after which he decides which one he would like to take on a date.
