What a week. First, the news that former Tory health secretary Matt Hancock is to appear on I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!.

Speaking of luxury, it was also the return of Sky Atlantic’s The White Lotus, series two arriving under the looming shadow of the first: an Emmy-garlanded tour de force, set in a plush Hawaiian resort that, along with that scene involving human excrement, conjured wicked, sparkling social satire in an extravagant five-star setting.
