It’s a Date: Nov 6

How much research should you do before dating? That’s the question this week on It’s a Date, with a rather strange dalliance between Magda Szubanski and Lachy Hulme (with Hulme as a male stripper no less!).

This episode is written by Peter Helliar, Magda Szubanski and Ryan Shelton.

Desperate for a child, but lacking the means, Mary-Angela (Magda Szubanski) spots an opportunity when she runs into old crush Rory (Lachy Hulme). Despite appearing washed up and wasting his life stripping, Mary-Angela suspects there’s more to his story than meets the eye.

Across town, Juzzy (Steen Raskopoulos) caves in on his plan to avoid the world of Facebook dating when a blonde bombshell asks him out online. But when pizza delivery girl and childhood neighbour Abby (Tegan Higginbotham) unexpectedly shows up, it might just be that old-fashioned romance is sitting right under his nose.

Also stars Jade Albany and George Kapiniaris.
