True Love or True Lies?

Monday: MTV, 9pm

You've seen Love Island, and now it's MTV's turn to stick a bunch of attractive people in a confined space to see if they'll find love. Six couples compete to prove their relationship is best. The catch? Some of them aren’t couples at all.

Hosted by Maya Jama and with Danny Dyer (senior) providing the voiceover, it should help fill that big Love Island shaped hole in all our lives.

 

Hang-Ups

Wednesday: Channel 4, 10pm

Loosely based on the Lisa Kudrow show Web Therapy, this new iteration sees Episodes' Stephen Mangan as Richard Pitt, a hapless online therapist dishing out advice to patients while his life disintegrates around him.

Lost Boys?: What's Going Wrong for Asian Men

Sunday: BBC Two, 10pm

As part of the Big British Asian Summer series of programmes, RTS award-winner Mehreen Baig looks behind the headlines and meets a range of young men to understand their experiences of growing up as an Asian man in modern Britain.

While working as a state school teacher, Mehreen experienced the disparity between different Asian communities in the UK and wanted to explore the reasons for this.

In Bradford Mehreen comes face to face with the signs that young British-Pakistani men are struggling: youth unemployment at 26 percent (14 percent higher than the national average), and drug crime has risen in recent years, with British-Pakistani men making up a disproportionate number of convictions.
