Channel Four television's new Playing It Straight dating game show started on Friday 8th April 2005.

In the show ten guys, some of whom are gay, get to date Zoe, a 21 year old PA. If Zoe finally chooses a gay guy at the end of the series, he wins £100,000 on his own, if she chooses a straight guy they share the £100,000.

Ben Harris, a builder, looks to be one of the favourites to win the show after the first episode in which he played to the builder stereotype.
