WHAT TO WATCH 11-17 June

This week’s best telly includes BRAND NEW Queer Eye, the return of the Chuckle Brothers and of course more... Love Island. Here are 7 shows you can’t miss this week...


1. Grenfell

Monday 11th June at 8.30pm on BBC One


This 90-minute documentary, made over the course of one year by Bafta-winning director Ben Anthony, brings together multiple stories from the Grenfell Tower fire tragedy.


Filming started on the day after the fire and draws from hundreds of hours of interview, archive, social media content and observational footage to form a compelling, moving and lasting record of the events before, during and after the fire.


Grenfell features intimate accounts from many of the men, women and children whose lives were forever intertwined and irrevocably changed that night - some of whom have never spoken publicly before.


The film remembers those who tragically died, while hearing from survivors, the bereaved, members of the local community, faith leaders, the MET police, and the local councillors from Kensington and Chelsea. Grenfell amounts to the largest collection of interviews with people connected to the tragedy to be gathered together in one single film.

2. Love Island

Monday 11th - Friday 15th and Sunday 17th June at 9pm on ITV2


Unless you've been living under a rock for the last week then you'll be well aware that Love Island is back and already one week down we've had new arrivals, a shock exit from the villa and plenty of snogging!


What will week two bring? Will Jack and Dani's romance continue to blossom? Are Niall and Georgia as well suited as they believe they are? And is Rosie really the right girl for Georgia?


Don't forget that as well as the main show six nights a week, Iain Stirling presents The Weekly Hot List on Saturdays and Caroline Flack is live straight after the main show on Sundays with Love Island Aftersun. And if that wasn't enough Arielle Free and Kem Cetinay host The Morning After podcast every morning.

5. Queer Eye

Friday 15th June on Netflix


The first season of Queer Eye only launched in February but Netflix are already serving up a second series!


It was such a big hit and was filmed straight after the first series so it's no surprise that the Fab Five are back so soon.


Once again Bobby Berk will take care of the interior design, Tan France will take care of the fashion, Jonathan Van Ness will be "Yaaas Qween"-ing all over the place as he makes over people's hair, Karamo Brown will make us cry again as he looks after the culture and Antoni Porowski will be teaching someone how to cook avocado... probably.

This week in The Bridge, Henrik thinks he has found the connection between all the victims, but when he adds the suspects to the investigation board he discovers a completely unexpected, but well-known face...


There is a deep rift between Saga and Henrik, and he is doing everything he can to avoid her. Saga tries to explain her actions, admitting that she did what she did because she thinks that she is in love with him - but Henrik doesn’t understand.


Noticing the atmosphere between them, Lillian questions if they can continue to work together.

6/8



7. Chuckle Time

Saturday 16th June at 5.05pm on Channel 5
