Is Charlie Rowe 'The One'?

Join Regency renegade Lady Clementine on her increasingly desperate quest to find love as she enters the world of modern dating. She’s tried everything to bag a man before her 27th birthday - wandering the armoury looking confused, bloodletting (just to feel something), and propositioning all her cousins (just the beefcakes, mind you). But disturbingly, nothing has worked – yet.

Part poet, part arsonist and described as if “Florence Pugh played Mr Bean in a corset”, Lady Clem is endearingly delusional and catastrophically self-absorbed. Like a Jane Austen novel that’s had too much gin, and far too much laudanum, she simply cannot fathom why love isn’t knocking down her door.

So now, she’s attempting her last resort - celebrity dating.

Enter her first date (semi-willingly), actor Charlie Rowe. Her mission? To find out if he could be ‘The One’ and save her from spinsterdom. Can the trenches of modern dating played out in Lady Clem’s crumbling Regency world really be the path to romantic bliss?
