Third date for ITV, Talkback

The UK’s ITV has ordered a third season of dating show Take Me Out from producer TalkbackThames.

The show features 30 single women from across the country looking for a single man to take them out on a date. The new season will comprise 14 episodes.

Also returning to ITV is All Star Family Fortunes, which has been greenlit for a sixth season.

The 11-part gameshow, which first appeared in 2006, will see celebrities and their families go head-to-head to win £30,000 for charity.

Both shows will air in their regular Saturday primetime slots on ITV1.

Sara Geater, CEO of TalkbackThames, said: “It’s testament to the huge popularity of these shows that ITV welcomes them back for a returning series.”

All Star Family Fortunes and Take Me Out were commissioned by ITV’s director of entertainment and comedy Elaine Bedell.

Both shows are executive-produced by Suzy Lamb. Mel Balac is series editor on Take Me Out and Kate Middleditch is series producer on All Star Family Fortunes.
