After nearly four decades languishing in obscurity, it's a surprise welcome to the main channel for Prize Island (ITV, 5.40 Sunday). One Man and His Dog makes its BBC1 debut (6.20 Sunday). With it being Hallowe'en week, Reggie Yates is invited to Release the Hounds (ITV2, 10pm Monday), and Radio 2 marks the event with Young Chorister of the Year (10pm Thursday).
