PICKS OF THE WEEK: 01-07 SEPTEMBER, WHAT TO WATCH THIS WEEK

Our picks of what to watch during the week ahead.

The Inheritance

Sunday-Tuesday, Channel 4

13 strangers arrive at a grand English country estate, lured by one irresistible opportunity: to inherit a chunk of a vast fortune. The fortune belonged to a glamorous benefactor known only as The Deceased who has left video messages for the players from beyond the grave. 

To release money from The Inheritance, players must work as a team to complete a series of challenges. The better they perform; the more money is released. But The Deceased had a wicked sense of humour and one ruthless condition: to win the game they must persuade all others that only they should be entrusted with the money. 

The Guest

Monday, BBC One

An addictive, fast-paced story that centres on the toxic and beguiling relationship between a successful business owner, Fran, and her employee, Ria. Ria has never had the time or opportunity to think about what she might actually want from the world. So, when she starts cleaning for Fran, she’s intoxicated by this confident and self-assured woman who encourages her to take control of her life and, when Ria flourishes, an intense friendship is forged.

Iain Stirling's Roast The Internet

Monday, Comedy Central

Across eight episodes, guests will take aim at their biggest online pet peeves - from deeply questionable wellness trends (looking at you, perineum sunning) to conspiracy theories that make flat earthers seem almost logical. Expect savage takes and unfiltered LOLs. Iain Stirling’s Roast The Internet is the hilarious televised group chat that we all need.

The Great British Bake Off

Tuesday, Channel 4

Twelve of the best amateur bakers in Britain whisk, knead, ice, beat and bake their way through classic British cakes, perfect patisserie, sticky caramel constructions and elaborate layered puddings. All Twelve will be hoping to impress with their skill, creativity, knowledge and passion and clinch the Bake off Crown.

Stranded On Honeymoon Island

Wednesday-Friday, BBC One

Davina McCall will meet the singles at their first speed dating event in London, before they are matched into six couples and then stranded on a tropical island for the experience of a lifetime. Isolated and pitted against the forces of nature, will true love blossom and survive…or dive?

On these remote beaches, fledgling relationships are soon put to the test as the couples live out their honeymoon together and fend for themselves with few resources. Together they must communicate and collaborate to get by, with nowhere to run when the going gets tough. Will an escape from modern life bring them closer together or push them apart? Will it lead to love or loathing?

Gogglebox

Friday, Channel 4

The entertaining weekly television review show is back for 13 weeks. Each episode is filmed over the previous seven days, covering that week’s TV and news highlights.
