Sky show to fool man into dating mother and daughter
LONDON - Sky One's controversial new dating show, 'The Real Mrs Robinson', sees one bachelor having to choose between two beautiful women, who unbeknown to him are really mother and daughter.
The show, produced by Fremantle's Talkback Thames, the company behind 'Pop Idol' and 'Da Ali G Show', will air on a primetime Sky One slot next year.
Last year, contestants from 'There's Something about Miriam' filed a lawsuit against Sky for misleading them when they attempted to win the heart of a beautiful woman, Miriam, who turned out to be a pre-op transsexual.

The suit was eventually dropped after the bachelors agreed to an out-of-court settlement of £125,000.
Last week, it was announced that former model Ivana Trump is to star in a similar reality TV show for Fox TV, where she helps mature women find romance with a younger man in 'Ivana Man'.
Fremantle International Distribution is hoping to sell the 'The Real Mrs Robinson' format to other networks.
The indie is also behind Channel 4 gameshow 'Distraction', which is presented by comedian Jimmy Carr.
Fremantle has sold 'Distraction' to the US, where it will make a version for US cable channel Comedy Central, which will also be presented by Carr.
"I literally can't believe my luck -- torturing Americans should not only be easy, but a pleasure," Carr said.
