BBC New Comedy Awards finalist Mark Restuccia is one of the most prolific internet daters in his weight class. How To Succeed... sees Mark delve into his 10 years of internet dating his fifteen HUNDRED dates and how he believes they're actually destroying his love life.

Mark Restuccia can get a date any night of the week. Actually, sometimes he can get three dates on any night of the week... But form a relationship with someone? That's completely different.
