Blind Date is an Australian television game show which was originally based on the American series The Dating Game.
Blind Date first aired from 1967 to 1970 on the 0-10 Network (now known as Network 10). Graham Webb hosted the series from its debut to the 28 November 1969 episode.[1] Jeremy Cordeaux hosted the show in 1970.[2]
A 1974 version on the Seven Network was hosted by Scottish-born Bobby Hanna.[3] A 1991 version hosted by Greg Evans was screened on Network Ten as a revived version of Perfect Match, which was also based on the same format.[4]
A new series, termed the show's revival, began on 15 October 2018 on Channel 10, hosted by Julia Morris.[5][6] It was broadcast at 7:30 pm on Mondays until the fifth episode, where it moved to the time-slot of 8:40 pm on Wednesdays.[citation needed]
