I have just watched this on DVD and loved it. I can't believe I missed this on tv and I'm gutted there is no series 2.

I love this programme and actively keep my eye open for a new or repeated episode. The three main presenters are superb in presenting the issues from their learned positions, so we get a cross between a detective and a history story and a peek into our wonderfu stately homes and institutions. I was very dissapointed there was only 2 episodes in this series and hope when covid is over there will be many more.

This is the second series I have watched, and maybe Im daft but I expected the production team to learn from what I thought were the mistakes they made in the last series. Now well into this series, I have just realised that this is not a genuine attempt to match people, but just about ratings. Yes I know. I understand that they had 10,000 applicants, so you cant tell me they couldnt get a group of people together who they fully invested in matching. Instead, at best, there are people in there who are bordering on the psychopathic, autistic, and narcissistic personality disorder and at worst, I am now cringing at some of the contestants who have some real baggage going on, and I believe this experience is just going to increase their trauma. Additionally some of the matching is criminally intended to create drama, and don't the producers feel they have a duty to protect those people who are being humiliated by the actions of their wives or Husbands. Tracey last series and Bronson in this. Additionally, those three psychologist/therapists may be enjoying being in the media, but they have also being humiliated by the producers without knowing about it, and clearly are unable to read a lot of the signals in the room. Im not sure their peers would want to work with these 'experts' in the real world. They clearly have never spoken to the contestants before the show, as they seem to have so little insight to each one. I dont think I can watch this any longer. Its just turned into a cringefest of doom. (cam and jules aside of course}
