A packed week of television ahead then. It feels as though I have been commenting for weeks about how there hasn't been a great deal of movement in the schedules, but finally we have an avalanche of new and returning shows starting their run of episodes. I'm intrigued in particular to see what ITV's The Void is like. From the trailers it looks like an indoor Total Wipeout, and Ashley Banjo and Fleur East are both more left field picks for presenters than your typical hosting names, which adds a further curiosity factor to proceedings.
Cooking With The Stars is a format that could go one of two ways. Either it will prove to be ITV's answer to Masterchef, or it will crash and burn like Simon Cowell's short-lived Great British Bake-Off vehicle Food Glorious Food. It has a good line-up of celebrities, with Corrie's Catherine Tyldesley and Strictly's Shirley Ballas among the names competing against each other, but there's only so far a show can coast on star power, and you have to wonder why they didn't just revive Hell's Kitchen instead.
Speaking of Strictly alumni, the latest in a long line of celebrity road trip documentaries 'Great British Road Trips' displays plenty of promise to be an entertaining format. Bruno Tonioli and Craig Revel Horwood are the kind of big personalities you need for a show like that, so if the programme utilises their larger than life characteristics well then ITV could be on to a winner.
Happy TV viewing!
