The reality of relationships

Humans are a wonderful mixture of the extraordinary , everyday and downright fascinating … and each day we might well ask ourselves what ‘ normal ’ is . This game show addresses that fundamental question in a revealing and entertaining fashion . In addition to ourselves , we also wonder about the people around us : boyfriends , girlfriends , co-workers and neighbours . The burning questions are addressed using a deeply revealing poll , in addition to a ‘ jury ’ poll and in-studio demonstrations .
