TV Guide 2020-01-11

It's Sunday, it's 9 o'clock, it's the new series of Love Island! (ITV2). Laura Whitmore is live in Cape Town with some of the aspirant amourous. On Thursday, it's followed by Iain Stirling's Celebability, the celebrity show hosted by the Fabulous Voice of Love Island.

Slightly more highbrow, Round Britain Quiz is back (Radio 4, Monday), asking questions that don't make sense even when we've heard the answers. Don't Scream is good advice for RBQ listeners, also a new horror show on BBC3 from Thursday.

The week ends in this fashion: It's Friday, it's six o'clock, it's Crackerjack! (CBBC) Sam and Mark promise to make the weekend fun.
