Love Island

ITV2, 9pm

Host Caroline Flack will introduce a fresh batch of singletons all looking for love... or victory at least.

The film will focus on the deadly insect responsible for the widespread nature of illnesses such as Zika, malaria, West Nile virus, yellow fever and dengue, and the cause of more than 750,000 deaths a year: the mosquito.

MOSQUITO will investigate the dangerous and unpredictable nature of the small insect, and will look at how global travel, trade and climate change have made the expansion of these outbreaks and spreading of disease easier.

Parenting expert and experienced nanny Jo Frost, made famous by her show Supernanny will explore the psychology and motives of child murderers, investigating whether some children are really born evil.

Each episode of Jo Frost on Killer Kids will focus on a different, including murder within the family, children who kill at school and children who kill their peers. 

​“How families function and observing behaviour patterns for decades led me very keen to develop this idea," said Frost. 

The film will feature contributions from Prince William and Prince Harry, who both speak openly about their mother and how she has influenced their lives.

Their Royal Highnesses will also offer their perspective on Diana's contribution to public life, including her charitable and humanitarian work. Topics such as child bereavement, homelessness and HIV and AIDS will be explored.

The documentary was commissioned for ITV by Jo Clinton-Davis, Controller of Factual and Sue Murphy, Head of Factual Entertainment.

His show, Happy Man, launched on BBC Three last week, and sees the comedian try a range of approaches to tackling depression, including cold water swimming (“one of the worst things I have ever done”), running, life modelling (“scary”) and drag.

BBC Two's Channel Editor Patrick Holland expressed his vision for BBC Two, which will focus on themes of reasserting the role of authorship, engaging with and becoming more relevant to the audience, and embracing all the specialisms on the channel from science, history and arts to current affairs, history, documentaries.

The new titles include a series of new documentary titles including an exploration of families living on the poverty line, a behind the headlines look at the sequence of events that caused Brexit, and the story of the horrific murder of Jo Cox MP.

The three new films will explore the damaging and destructive effects of murder, sex trafficking and opiate dependency in American cities.

Louis Theroux said: “I immerse myself in some of the most dysfunctional and disturbing aspects of American society. They combine hard-hitting actuality with intimate interviews.

Fake news has become an interesting yet controversial topic that has dominated the internet and it is becoming increasingly difficult to distinguish what is real and what isn't.

As truth becomes increasingly determined by how many likes, clicks, shares or hits, Channel 4 News will explore where fake news actually comes from and the implications it has in a week long series of interviews and discussions.

It’s much more interesting to watch people fall in love than fight,” said producer Molly Sayers at an RTS Futures event in late November, which turned the spotlight on Channel 4’s popular First Dates.

The Twenty Twenty Television production is that rare thing among dating shows: it wants audiences to like, not laugh at, its lovelorn participants.

It's the 90th anniversary of the publication of the first Winnie-the-Pooh stories. Written by A A Milne, Winnie-the-Pooh has captured the imaginations of millions of fans around the world.

Alan celebrates Winnie-the-Pooh in his 90th year and the legacy he left behind, speaking to Milne's biographer, children’s author Brian Sibley and journalist Matthew Sweet.
