The Blind Date is a British television crime drama television series, written by Simon Booker, that first broadcast on ITV on 13 March 2000.[1] The series, based upon the novel by Frances Fyfield, follows Lucy Kennedy (Zara Turner), a former police detective whose sister was murdered, and after a plot to ‘honey trap’ the prime suspect for the murder goes horribly wrong, Lucy's memories of the horrific incident are revived when a friend of hers goes on a horrific blind date with the suspected killer.[2]

The series co-starred Mark Letheren, Hazel Ellerby, Peter Wight and Ben Miller, and was filmed in and around Highgate, Archway and Muswell Hill.[3] The first episode drew 8.63 million viewers, while episode two drew just over 8 million.[4] The series was released on VHS on 27 March 2000, alongside a fellow Miller-fronted ITV drama, Passion Killers.[5] This remains the only home video release to date.
