Synopsis
Four Lads (yes, the capital L is justified) who really fancy themselves try to persuade an audience of randy, drunken women (or, sometimes, gay men) that they really want to, you know, do it with them.
A succession of rounds sees the men show off their (limited) talents in several different areas while Stuart Hall maniacally eggs them on, dreaming of his own Romeo days, long, long ago. The women vote as to which Lad is the winner, who then picks a lady of his choice (or a Mystery Date behind a curtain) for a night out on the town.
Like Man O Man, but designed to be shown after the 9pm watershed, so anything really does go. About four or five hours after the 9pm watershed, actually.
Trivia
The late Bruce Gyngell was managing director of Yorkshire TV and Tyne Tees TV at the time of broadcast. He hated God's Gift so much that he axed it from his schedules. Other adult programmes that were chopped by Gyngell included that self-explanatory series The Good Sex Guide.
