Six single people are to be introduced at the altar and married in a new television show being produced by Channel 4. The concept behind the programme is an attempt to find a formula for the perfect relationship – in other words, the experiment will see if science can help produce a stable marriage.
The show, called Married At First Sight, is understood to be based on a Danish television show and will see some 200 singletons narrowed down to just six who are willing to say 'I do' – without having ever met their partner.
In a statement, the broadcaster has said the couples will be put together by a panel of experts and – after they tie the knot – cameras will follow the couple's first six weeks together. At the end of this period, they will be asked if they want to stay together, or go their own way.
Jay Hunt, Channel 4's Chief Creative Officer, has described the show as "a celebration of marriage".
She added: "It says marriage is important because of social cohesion. We don't have a great track record in that area.
"What if we take a slightly different approach and at its heart is the idea that we make the biggest decision of our life based on gut instinct and w hat if you got an array of experts to help inform that decision and you would be more likely to make the right choice?
"And what's interesting about it is in the countries where it's already played out, the feedback has been very positive and celebratory and the people involved in it have come back with a very different perspective on what they need from a relationship."
