One of the greatest reality shows ever made is back, whilst another was never made by will hook you in. There is horror, highs and Halloween celebrations galore this week from my top five must-see viewings. Get ready to binge this exciting bunch…

Big Brother, 9pm, ITV One, Sunday 8th October: It’s back! Get ready for months of entertainment, as the famous Big Brother house is back. Launching on both ITV One and Two tonight, before moving to just ITV Two and ITV Player, the show will introduce us to stars to come. Just remember, please do not swear!

The Reckoning, 9pm, BBC One, Monday 9th October: The Jimmy Saville case is horrific. In a brand new drama, starring Steve Coogan, this show looks at the investigation behind it and the victims. Shocking in every way.

The Greatest Show Never Made, 8am, Prime Video UK, Wednesday 11th October: When a bunch of wannabe stars left their homes, jobs and family to take part in a new reality show they were never expecting what happened to do so. Everything they thought was a lie. The show was never made. Leaving all of those involved in a terrible set of circumstances. This new series reveals what really happened and you will be hooked watching.

Goosebumps, 8am, Disney Plus UK, Friday 13th October: They were the books that many of us were scared endlessly by when younger. Now after a successful film relaunch, Disney Plus UK have created a five episode series. Just in time for Halloween!

Fair Play, 8am, Netflix, Friday 13th October: Another chilling watch on one of the spookiest days of the year. When a couple are faced with new positions in work and life, their relationship is put to the ultimate test. Will they last? You will have to watch to find out.

Let us know what you have been watching and what you are most looking forward to catching over the course of the week, via our social media pages, as we would love to know!
