It's a Date is an Australian ensemble comedy series which began screening on ABC1 on 15 August 2013. The eight-part series was written by comedian Peter Helliar and directed by Helliar and Jonathan Brough. The first series was produced by Laura Waters.[1] [2] Each episode poses a question about dating—such as 'should you date a friend's ex?'—and follows two sets of people as they grapple with the question.[3]
Critical response was more positive than not. Rob Moran felt that It's a Date opted "for star power and broad gags" over quality,[4] but Debi Enkar felt that the series was warm,[5] and Kylie Northover wrote that "while some of the humour tends towards broad ockerism, there are some poignant moments and some acutely observed truisms."[6]
