Two of reality TV's big hitters—Love Island and Below Deck—are back to see you through the end of winter, and Chuck D gives us a hip hop education in Fight the Power.

Below Deck

Monday

E4, 8.00pm

The return of the reality show that traps a crew on board a luxury yacht during charter season with riotous results.

Tension lingers from the previous charter season as the crew embarks on the My Seanna, and there's an unfamiliar face waiting for them on board. Meanwhile, chief stewardess Heather faces a difficult task and first officer Eddie struggles to deal with changes to the wheelhouse and bring his team up to speed.

Love Island

Monday

ITV2, 9.00pm

Love Island returns to South Africa for its first winter series in three years. New host Maya Jama should breathe new life into the show, but whether it will live up to last year's dramatic edition will obviously come down to the cast.

Let's just hope the producers have found another agent of chaos and TV gold of the likes of last series' winner Ekin-Su.

The Family Pile

Tuesday

ITV, 9.30pm

A new comedy mining one of life's biggest milestones. Amanda Abbington, Clare Calbraith, Claire Keelan and Alexandra Mardell star as four sisters who have always been close, until they lose their parents and are forced to sell their family home.

As the sale progresses, the women clash as they come to terms with both the grief and the secrets unearthed.

That ‘90s Show

Thursday

Netflix

Netflix is going back to the fictional town of Point Place for a spin-off of That '70s Show.

That '90s Show will see Leia Forman (Callie Haverda), the daughter of Eric and Donna from the original, visit her grandparents Red (Kurtwood Smith) and Kitty (Debra Jo Rupp) in Wisconsin.

It doesn't take long for her to fall in with a new group of Point Place kids, and together they spend the summer sniffing out adventure.   

Fight the Power: How Hip Hop Changed the World

Saturday

BBC One, 9.00pm

Chuck D, whose own hip hop group Public Enemy spoke truth to power through the art of rap, explores the long relationship between his genre and politics in this new documentary series.

Weaving together major moments via intimate interviews with influential figures (LL COOL J, Eminem, Cypress Hill) and archival footage, Chuck D will retrace the rise of hip hop and its provocative interpretation of American history.
