Big Brother can claim to be the parent of modern reality shows. It started in 2000, suitably dystopian as we looked into the black mirror of an intimidating new millennium – and dozens of other brutish, tacky and vaguely exploitative contrivances followed in its wake. Two decades later, though, it’s a heritage format. Big Brother was canned by Channel 4 in 2010, then cancelled again by Channel 5 in 2018, supposedly due to low ratings. If you’re not rating highly enough to survive on Channel 5, your brand is at rock bottom.

The series shines a light on the predator and necrophiliac who hid in plain sight as a ‘national treasure’. Plus, a sweet sequel to Love, Simon. Here’s what to watch on TV tonight

Last year, the Monty Python legend announced that he would be hosting his own show on the news channel and that it would be a "no holds barred account of the news".

Entitled The Dinosaur Hour, Cleese appeared on GB News to discuss his decision to join the network, telling Michelle Dewberry: "They came to me a few months ago and they made me the most extraordinary offer that’s ever been made to anyone in the history of television."

He added: "They said 'would you like to do ten shows; you can do whatever you like'. Can you imagine the BBC doing that? It would be subject to committee A and then after committee A had approved it, you’d go to Committee B. They said you can do anything and I’ve had no interference of any kind and it has been joyful."

The show will be filmed at a thousand year old castle and feature Cleese having intimate conversations with a number of guests.

It’s an act of retrieval, giving props to the likes of MC Debbie D, self-described “Alpha Females” the Mercedes Ladies and the woman behind the Sugarhill Gang, Sylvia Robinson.
