More details

Relationships - Year One; PowerCouple depicts the two sides to every relationship based on Stephen and Gary's real experience in their own. Whether your status is single, in a relationship or it's complicated, this show is for everyone - straight, gay or ginger.

Stephen has always dreamed of finding his prince and his happily ever after, whereas Gary thought love was PlayStation, booze and porn. It's a no holds barred as PowerCouple covers everything from being forced into a relationship and dealing with the ex's, to Groupon dates and botched up birthdays.

Stephen Bailey has spent the past twenty-something years trying to find true love and romance. For years he prayed for a womb so he could trap a man but he's done it the normal way - through a love spell (well he tried... seriously). Stephen discusses his journey to find love as a natural ginger and how sometimes the best thing, isn't always the easiest...

Gary John Senior is completely different; he has spent his life avoiding a relationship... then (almost by accident... or witchcraft) Stephen happened and as they embarked on a relationship, Gary's brow got sweatier. Not only does he have to deal with his own neurosis, he has to deal with Stephen's too. Gary takes us through his findings from his first year in his first relationship (ever) and we explore the real fine line between love and madness.

It doesn't matter who's side you take; PowerCouple is a show all audiences can relate to.
