Charlie Brooker turns his satirical eye on romance in this fourth episode of a six-part series, mining decades of archive footage and studio sketches to ask whether television invented the idea of the soulmate. Brooker picks apart Blind Date and its imitators, tracing how a game show format trained a generation to treat finding a partner as a contest with a correct answer. He then moves into romantic comedies, running clips that show the same beats repeating: the meet-cute, the misunderstanding, the airport dash, and asks what happens when people expect their own relationships to follow that script. Sketches interrupt the argument throughout, exaggerating dating-show contestants and rom-com leads until the conventions look as manufactured as they are. Brooker's own narration stays dry and skeptical rather than earnest, needling the material instead of just cataloguing it. The episode's real question is simple: has TV given viewers a template for love that real relationships can't match?
