WHAT TO WATCH 25 June - 1 July

This week’s best telly includes (as ever) more Love Island, the final ever episode of The Bridge and the next big comedy hit, Stath Lets Flats. Here are 7 shows you can’t miss this week...


1. Love Island

Monday 25th - Friday 29th June and Sunday 1st July at 9pm on ITV2


As we head towards the midway point of this year's Love Island, most of the original islanders remain in the villa. But for how much longer? A dumping or a recoupling can happen at any time which means no one is safe.


Will the seemingly unbreakable Dani & Jack remain the favourites to win? Will Wes and Laura continue to put their past arguments behind them? Are Megan and Eyal in it for the long run after... you know? Will Josh and Georgia stay strong together? And is Zara the girl to finally tame Adam? (Probably not).


And what about Alex and Samira? Having been coupled up as friends since the beginning, they both survived the latest recoupling with Alex choosing new girl Ellie and new boy Sam picked Samira! But have they really both found "the one"?



2. Live from the BBC

Wednesday 27th June from 10am on BBC Three


You have to hand it to BBC Three, moving online hasn't stopped the channel from introducing audiences to lesser-known, up and coming talent and it's great that Live at the BBC is returning for a third series.


This week it's the turn of Scottish stand-up comedian and writer Fern Brady to take to the stage at the BBC's Radio Theatre.


She got through university with an unexpected side job and a simple diet. This hilarious show is full of the wry wit that has made her popular with audiences and is her first TV special.


Other comedians throughout the series include Rhys Nicholson, Suzi Ruffell and Desiree Burch.

3. Stath Lets Flats

Wednesday 27th June at 10pm on Channel 4


After five long years in the making, Jamie Demetriou is finally able to take Stath Lets Flats from pilot to series and it was certainly worth the wait.


Stath is an incompetent Greek-Cypriot lettings agent, working for his dad at the family business Michael & Eagle. His hapless sister Sophie dreams of being a professional dancer, but holds a candle for the family’s favourite employee, nervous negotiator Al.


In the opening episode, Stath needs to impress his dad (and boss) Vasos and let some flats, after losing his patience and pushing a customer. However, he struggles to pick up the phone as fast as the other agents to arrange viewings. In an act of desperation he steals a viewing from arch rival Carole but things don’t go to plan.

7. The Misadventures of Romesh Ranganathan

Sunday 1st July at 9pm on BBC Two


Romesh Ranganathan's idea of a nice trip away is two weeks in the Algarve and in this new three-part series for BBC Two he’s travelling way beyond his comfort zone and the world of complimentary breakfast buffets, to some of the most beautiful, but dangerous places on earth.


Hosted by locals and fully immersed in the local culture, he gets an eye-opening, and at times heart-stopping, insider’s guide to countries that are big on natural beauty, character and charm.


In this first episode, Romesh gets an insider’s guide to Haiti to find out if his preconceptions about the Caribbean island are right, or if there is more to the country than the “sensational headlines” he’s seen on the news.
