First up is Love Island, which returned for its fifth series on Monday night.

Catch Love Island weekdays and Sunday @9pm on Virgin Media Two or ITV2. 8 weeks to go *eek

Sticking with the fly-on-the-wall stuff, First Dates is on Channel 4 @10pm tonight and features an interesting mix of daters. There's a lady who sweats a lot, a fella who fears women are put off by his Beckham-esque voice and an 80-year-old glam great-granny:

Heard of Chernobyl on Sky Atlantic? It's based on the untold true story of the 1986 nuclear disaster that rocked the world. Well the final episode of the miniseries airs @9pm tonight and you need to catch up because it has been voted the top-rated TV show on IMDB. It's class!

Have a look at what all the hype is over:

Seasons 1 & 2 now on Netflix - so stick'em up (your legs on the couch that is).
