Perfect Match Australia is an Australian dating game show based on the format of the American game show The Dating Game. Perfect Match was produced by the Reg Grundy Organisation.
It originally aired on Network Ten for 30 minutes most weekdays from 5:30pm between 1984 and 1989. The format was revived in Australia for subsequent programs Blind Date based on its US counterpart on Network Ten in 1991, and again a revised version of Perfect Match this time airing on the Seven Network in 2002.
Host Cameron Daddo (1987-1988)
Overview[edit]
The show featured the same format as international versions The Dating Game and Blind Date, with a contestant determining their 'perfect match' by asking three potential suitors of the opposite sex hidden behind a screen a number of scripted compatibility questions. Each episode featured two different rounds. One featured a male asking questions of three unseen females, the other had one female asking questions of three male contestants. Viewers of the show could see all contestants throughout each round.
Frequently the questions—along with the answers contestants gave—aimed for comedy and were imbued with sly innuendo. After three questions the contestant would choose their preferred partner based on the answers they had given, and would then be revealed to the contestant, both the contestant and selected match, would then win the prize of a holiday to be taken together (along with a television crew). Diamond reels casino. After this the partner with the highest 'compatibility score', based on responses to interview questions prior to the game, specially calculated by a computerized robot called Dexter, would be revealed, although this would have no effect on the game itself or the actual awarding of prizes.
Each episode also included a recap of the holiday taken by an earlier couple. The segment included footage of their weekend away, along with edited highlights of video interviews with each individual in isolation after returning home, which would be played to the couple as they were interviewed together in the studio. Sometimes previously unrevealed true feelings would be revealed when the video interviews were replayed.
The Comedy Company character Kylie Mole once appeared on Perfect Match. Another Comedy Company character, Marika, Con the Fruiterer's long suffering wife, also made an appearance on Blind Date. WWF professional wrestler Paul Roma also made an appearance on Perfect Match.
Hosts[edit]
Perfect Match Australia was hosted by Greg Evans for the first two years. Through an oversight, Channel Ten forgot to renew his contract, so he was signed by Channel Nine who 'warehoused' him. Cameron Daddo replaced him as host of Perfect Match from 1987 to 1988. After Daddo left the series, Evans, whose contract with Nine had expired, returned to Network Ten as host for the final season. The show also featured hostesses Debbie Newsome (1984–85), Tiffany Lamb (1986) and Kerrie Friend (1987–89).
After an initial relaunch returning in 1991 now known under the UK title of Blind Date the show was again hosted by Greg Evans with Nicky Buckley serving as hostess. Craig Huggins was the announcer who recapped each contestant with quirky one-liners. Nicky Buckley was later replaced by Swedish-born model Ankie Nordberg.[1] Again known under its original title of Perfect Match a brief 2002 revival was hosted by Shelley Craft and Agro. Radio broadcasters Max Rowley and Bruce Mansfield served as announcers.
The original series also featured Dexter — a 'robot' that supposedly mathematically calculated the compatibility of the couple, voiced by Keith Scott. In the 2002 version, Agro partially fulfilled a similar role to Dexter in announcing the couples' compatibility scores.
Lyrics to the Perfect Match Australia Theme Song[edit]
Like Peaches and Cream
And a Coach and her Team
Like the Sand and the Seas
And the Birds and the Bees
Like an Oyster and a Pearl
And a Guy and a Girl
What Have You Got?
You Got a Perfect,
Perfect,
Perfect Match!!
It's a Perfect Match!!
And a Coach and her Team
Like the Sand and the Seas
And the Birds and the Bees
Like an Oyster and a Pearl
And a Guy and a Girl
What Have You Got?
You Got a Perfect,
Perfect,
Perfect Match!!
It's a Perfect Match!!

That player then follows the directions printed on the space they land upon.
Perfect Match Dating
For a new relationship, it’s recommended to use the black ICEBREAKER cards.
As the relationship progresses, it’s recommended to use the blue GETTING TO KNOW YOUcards.
When you’re ready to go to the next level, it’s recommended to use the red SERIOUSLY?cards.
The fourth pack of cards (green) is for those dates with partners who have beenPREVIOUSLY MARRIEDand should be used in addition to the other packages of cards. Of course, you can use the cards in any creative way you wish.
When the space reads “Pick one (or 2 or 3) card(s)” the player should do so from the appropriate pack and read it out loud. The question on the card is for him or her to answer. Keep in mind the tips on the INTRODUCTION sheet accompanying this game. There is no time limit on answers. Some will lead to discussion, others may not. When the player has finished answering the question, he or she should put the card in their own private pile but keep it handy. They will need that pile soon. After answering, it’s the next player’s turn and he or she throws the die. They then continue to move the car from the previous space to the appropriate space and follow those directions as above. If a question is not applicable, the players should agree to pass.
WHEN THE CAR LANDS ON A DATE LOCATION, both players are to pick up the pile of cards which they’ve already answered and SWITCH with their partner. Each player should now answer each of the other person’s questions. Start with the player who just moved the car. When both players have answered all of each other’s questions, discard those cards back into the box. They will not be used again in this game.
Perfect Match Game
This route of play continues until the car reaches the end of the board, at which time the car returns to START and the game continues. Keep playing until both players are exhausted. Remember where you were up to so that you can continue on the next date!
