Spring King 'Detroit' by Jack Whiteley

Luke Bather - 5th Sept 2016

Jack Whiteley helps those unlucky in love in part one of a surreal Nineties style two-part dating show for Spring King.

We're introduced to the characters and it's Blind Date as and true, hammy Eurotrash '90s pastiche, right down to the overly colourful sets and hideous graphics. Hopefully part two will see the winning couple's holiday recap. Who knows if they'll stay together?

JACK WHITELEY:

"In the first episode we meet three male contestants – Bartek from Kraków, Gary from Manchester and Nikolai from Moscow – vying for the attention of Richmond upon Thames' very own Lady Penelopete.

"Hosted by cult Greek television star Konstantinos Nestoridis and starring the band as the contestants, Detroit is at once a 90s TV nostalgia trip, a Brexit backlash and a coming of age, gender identity drama that asks the question: How deep is Euro love?"
