2. Love Island

Monday 16th - Friday 20th and Sunday 22nd July at 9pm on ITV2


It's the penultimate week of Love Island and it seems as though Jack and Dani might have some competition when it comes to scooping that £50k prize.


They're not the only official couple in the villa anymore, there's also Wes and Megan, Ellie and Charlie and Josh and Kaz and if Twitter's anything to go by, Josh and Kaz could end up winning this.


But a lot can happen in a week as we've seen time and time again so whether or not they all make it to the final week remains to be seen.



3. Who Is America?

Monday 16th July at 10pm on Channel 4


Sacha Baron Cohen returns to our screens this week for the first time in more than a decade with a new satirical half-hour series, Who Is America?


In the works over the past year, the seven-episode series will explore the diverse individuals, from the infamous to the unknown across the political and cultural spectrum, who populate the unique nation.

7. Unforgotten

Sunday 22nd July at 9pm on ITV


This week, ITV's hit drama Unforgotten continues as Cassie, Sunny and the team travel to Middenham to meet Hayley’s parents and twin sister, Jessica.


The press are already circling in the area and it’s clear that unearthing Hayley’s body will bring the whole investigation back into the media spotlight. The team meet retired DCI John Bentley who was an officer on the original case.


He provides information about the investigation and reveals that he believes it was flawed from the start. He tells them that Hayley’s boyfriend at the time, Adrian Mullery, was their prime suspect, but he was never charged.


After a walk around the local area, Cassie develops a theory that as Hayley’s body was found so far from where she disappeared, the murderer could have travelled from London. As a result, the team begin to look at the numerous holiday rentals in the vicinity and who they were let by on the night that Hayley went missing.
