Our idea for a format – The Properly Produced & Presented Late Late Show – got shot down... Swines!

Apparently this new show takes a few hopeless singletons (not us!) and with the advice of a team of credible experts in the areas of psychology, health and fashion, offers a body and mind makeover with a view to helping them find love...

So there you have it folks, if you can't find your soul mate just tune into The Love Clinic and all your dreams will most certainly come true... And if they don't be sure to pen a strongly worded letter to Johnny Norton & Stephen McCormack. We're already started ours just in case... Dear Straywave...
