Blind Date
a popular British television show (1985–2003) in which one person chose a partner from three people who they could not see, by asking them silly questions. They then went away for a short holiday together, and came back on the show the next week to talk about their experiences and say whether they liked each other. There was a similar programme on American television called The Dating Game.
