Howard Griffiths and Brigette Bard, who appeared together on the television show Blind Date 25 years ago, have been reunited after a chance encounter on the London Underground. Mr Griffiths told BBC News he “freaked out” upon seeing Ms Bard on the tube, describing the brief two-minute meeting as “full of heightened emotion.”
The pair had not seen each other since their original appearance on the popular dating programme. Mr Griffiths is now hoping to arrange a full reunion with Ms Bard, though no specific plans have been confirmed.
Blind Date, which aired from 1985 to 2003, was a staple of British television, featuring contestants choosing a date based on brief interviews and questions. The show's format often led to lasting connections, but for Griffiths and Bard, their paths diverged until this recent underground encounter.
