THE UNDATEABLES PREMIERE From Thursday, 7 July at 20:00 Looking for love can be tricky, but some find it harder than others. Add  disability to the equation and it can sometimes seem almost impossible. This uplifting series returns for a fourth series to follow the journeys of several extraordinary singletons as they navigate the dating circuit in pursuit of love.
