It's A Date is an Australian ensemble comedy series which began screening on ABC1 on 15 August 2013. The eight part series was written by comedian Peter Helliar and directed by Helliar and New Zealander Jonathan Brough. The first series was produced by Laura Waters. The show poses a question about dating - such as 'should you date a friend's ex?' and follows two sets of people as they grapple with the question.
Both Sibylla Budd (as The Pig's producer) and John Wood (behind The Pig in a queue at the Service Station) appear, mingled in with the events of Episode 2.
Peter Helliar (as Greg), Lisa McCune (as Em), Denise Scott (as Gwen) and Lawrence Mooney (as The Pig) reprise their roles from Season 1. Graham is Greg's father, Jen is Em's best friend, Gwen is Cynthia's mother and Cynthia works on The Pig's radio show.
Jess Harris (as Virginia) reprised her role from Season 1 as Kane's (Dan Wyllie) ex (who was also featured in Season 1).
Peter Helliar (as Greg) appears as Brad's brother.
Ronald Jacobson (as Doug) reprises his role from Season 1. Doug is Mark's and Natalie's grandfather.
Rob Moran felt It's a Date "opts for star power and broad gags" over quality. Debi Enkar felt the series was warm. Kylie Northam felt that while the series was prone to being ocker, there were some truisms.
