The widely-derided Channel 4 dating show Naked Attraction attempts to bring romance into the modern age – and usually kills it stone dead – by having contestants assess each others naked bodies, genitalia included, before deciding upon a match.

Unusually, however, the first episode of the show's new season, which aired last night, has attracted warm praise from viewers, thanks to the fact that the programme-makers decided to include a dater who identifies as pansexual, as well as transgender contestants.
