Sally Philllips (Narrator) begins by introducing the show and explaining what it is about it, whilst showing all the people involved in the whole series to give the audience a better understanding of the programme, after this it follows only few characters. For example Episode 3 is focused on 24-year-old Hadyn who has Crouzon Syndrome He has undergone 40 facial operations and is partially deaf. His twin brother and a dating agency hope to help Haydn find a girlfriend and Sam from Kent who has Down's Syndrome.The 27-year-old has appeared in The Inbetweeners and EastEnders and has a supportive family life, but feels there is something missing, a girl. It begins by filming Sam in his natural environment at home whilst asking him questions in order for the audience to get an insight into his personality. It then shows what he does from day to day, for example meeting up with friends, showing how he interacts with them. This is done mainly by using a series of shot reverse shots, over the shoulder shots and close ups. It then changes to Haydn, again showing him in his natural environment and using older images of him when he was younger to show the impact of what he has been through since a child and just what he could have looked like due to having a twin brother. 
Overall the documentary consists of very simple editing to make it seem more natural and not staged, i believe that they do this very well and after the programme i felt like i knew a lot about each person and why they may have not been so successful with dating.
