Rabbits know better that love will save the world. As well as Ukrainian TV channels that like rabbits multiply dating show. And«1+1» marches in the front. Now there is an active installation of sets for shooting the project Take Me Out, and the following week will be the first to shoot pilot programs.

Take Me Out is a British comedy dating game show hosted by Paddy McGuinness. It began airing on ITV in the UK and TV3 in the Republic of Ireland on 2 January 2010. The pilot episode was for Channel 4 in 2009. It is based on the original Australian show Taken Out. In September 2010, TV3 started broadcating an Irish version of the show. 

The objective of the show is for a man to gain a date with one of thirty single women. The women stand on stage underneath thirty white lights, each with a button in front of them. A single man is then brought on stage via the 'Love Lift' and tries to woo the women in a series of rounds, playing a prerecorded dating video, displaying a skill (such as dancing or playing a musical instrument), or playing another video in which the man's friends or family reveal more about him. At any point during the rounds, the women can press the button in front of them to turn off their light (their area of the stage will turn red if they do so). If, at the end of three rounds, there are still lights left on, the bachelor will turn off all but two of the remaining lights himself. He will then have a chance to ask one question to the last two women, before choosing which woman he wants to go on a date with by turning off one more light. There are usually four men brought on in the course of a single episode.

If all the women turn off their lights before the end of the third round - what is referred to as a "blackout" - then the man must leave the show alone. 

After learning about the upcoming shooting and having studied the format, I decided to ask press service of "1+1" about the show. All I’ve heard is that it’s too early to talk about the project, and they decided not to disclose details. All I was left is to contemplate the set. It was quite impressive. Anyway, see for yourself.

Show for "1+1" is produced by "Lesina-Eremeeva". Tatiana Shkabar will be the producer, show host - Andrey Domanskiy.
