Whoever said TV wasn’t educational? Well, they clearly never watched First Dates, as tonight’s viewers were introduced to the existence of a fairly specialist activity: cosplay.

Cosplay – an abbreviation of costume play – is the practice of dressing up as a character from a film, book, game or whatever takes your fancy.

And it turned out self-professed geeky hopefuls Sam and Livvy were both very much into it.

Many of the viewers at home, however, hadn’t even heard of it.

But they weren’t judging – and they loved how open and honest the pair were in sharing their fairly niche hobby with each other.

And so, of course, Twitter united in feeling warm and fuzzy inside and hoping the pair would have a happy future together.

Go Team Geek!
