Stranded on Honeymoon Island

9pm, BBC One
Davina McCall plays matchmaker in a dating series that isn’t a million miles away from Married at First Sight, except the pairs hook up at a speed-dating event and are sent to a tropical island with basic supplies and a composting loo (“I’ve never had ‘the poo chat’ with a man!” squirms one bride). We meet the first three couples – a refreshingly diverse mix of people with “sheer blind optimism” – and it all goes well until a bombshell drops. Hollie Richardson
