Mini Matchmakers: New BBC series putting potential couples' dating lives in the hands of 'cute cupids'
Nine-year-old Isabella Mooney from Derry is a member of McGinley School of Music & Drama
A new series for BBC Northern Ireland set to air tonight (Monday) will see six singletons place their love lives into the hands of the Mini Matchmakers.
The Mini Matchmakers, a dating agency run by nine-year-olds, includes Isabella Mooney from Derry, a member of McGinley School of Music & Drama.
Narrated by comedian Paddy Raff, in this three part series our cute cupids put hopeful daters through their paces, grilling them about unsuccessful searches for ‘the one’ and dishing out useful advice like remembering your potential love interests name, before sending them on two blind dates.
In episode one MMA commentator Phil is looking for someone adventurous and humble who doesn’t mind that he travels a lot with work and personal trainer Emilia hopes mini matchmakers, Elliot, Amira, Robbie, Isabella and Ava will find the man of her dreams.
It is a lucky dip when it comes to the mini matchmakers selecting a dating activity, will a dance off, a trip to the driving range, balancing in a yoga class or clowning around at circus school be enough for Phil and Emilia to each invite someone back for a second date?
Our wannabe dating experts don’t mess around when it comes to setting up fun dates.
Mini Matchmakers is made by Afro-Mic Productions with support from NI Screen.
The full series will be available on BBC iPlayer this evening (Monday, 21 November) at 9.00pm with the first episode broadcasting on BBC One Northern Ireland at 8.30pm.
