About First Dates
Based on a UK series by the same name, the observational documentary series `First Dates USA' tracks a variety of couples during their initial meeting, all happening over one night at the same restaurant. The production employs a number of techniques to probe whether the couples are clicking and if the evening will lead to more dates and a possible relationship. Home viewers participate in the social experiment, judging the couples' interactions and whether they possess the undefinable chemistry that makes them a good fit for each other. … MORE

After Life 3: How TikTok took a Ricky Gervais fan to Netflix
Before the pandemic, Cole Anderson-James was a salesman in a " boring 9 to 5 job". Then he downloaded TikTok.
The 24-year-old's videos - lip-syncing to scenes from The Office - Soon attracted millions of views.
And he can now be seen alongside The Man he impersonates, after Ricky Gervais cast The Fan to appear in the on Netflix.
" It's crazy, " Cole tells BBC Radio 1 Newsbeat.
" I've been a fan of Ricky Gervais for over 10 Years - I even go to sleep with his podcast on in the background! "
But The Man from Essex is now living A Dream .
'It just blew up'It started when Covid hit, and Cole decided to give TikTok a try while he was " pretty bored".
" The rest is pretty much history, " He Said .
Cole realised he was " good at lip syncing" and started making videos recreating his favourite scenes from comedies, including The Office .
The Bbc is not responsible for the content of external sites.After also sharing one of The Videos on Twitter, he tagged The Show 's star Ricky Gervais , who retweeted it.
" It just blew-up, and I thought, 'I'm going to keep doing this'. "
'My head exploded'Cole's mum urged him to message his hero, who had also started following him on Twitter.
" On the premise you don't ask, you don't get, I don't suppose there's any cameo roles going in After Life?, " he asked.
" Months went past and I didn't hear anything. I thought 'it's not happening', And Then I got an email saying 'audition for After Life [season] 3' and my head exploded. "
A Zoom call with Gervais and The Show 's producers followed, but he was initially told they didn't yet have a role for him, before eventually being cast as a yoga Teacher .
" I learned The Script The Night before [filming], " says Cole, who arrived on set expecting rehearsals.
" But Ricky was like, 'nah, let's just film it and see what happens… Go loosely on The Script , just make it all up'. "
" That threw me off, " recalls Cole. " When he [Gervais] said 'action!', my heart just dropped. I did mess it up a little in The First one, but we did it another billion times so it was alright. "
By having the confidence to get In Touch with Ricky Gervais , " I did shoot my shot, " reflects Cole, who urges us all to do the same if the opportunity is there.
