This all sounds very interesting the drama's also sound like they will be great (as normal).

ITV announced its summer line-up today, with a strong focus on drama, as well as some slightly familiar factual and entertainment formats.
In the drama corner, Max Beesley joins ITV in Is this Love, as the smooth-talking DJ of a late-night chat show who falls in love with his best friend's fiancée. The Man Who Lost His Head sees Martin Clunes as a museum curator who joins a Maori community across the other side of the world, and Time of Your Life sees Genevieve O'Reilly star as a woman who wakes up from an 18-year coma.
Following his success in What We Did on Our Holiday, Shane Ritchie returns to ITV drama in The Good Samaritan as the misguided and generous Brian Guest.
Lost in Austen, made by Mammoth Screen, hopes to capitalise on the appeal of the Jane Austen adaptations lined up for spring on ITV. The light-hearted drama follows an Austen fan as she magically switches places with Pride and Prejudice character Elizabeth Bennett, and has to survive in late 18th century England.
In entertainment, Britain's Got Talent sees Simon Cowell, Piers Morgan and Amanda Holden judge thousands of hopefuls from magicians to dancers, all competing to win the chance to perform at the Royal Variety Performance.
Grease is the Word will be looking for the next Sandy and Danny, with judges including theatre producer David Ian, I'm a Celebrity... star David Gest, choreographer Brian Friedman and singer Sinitta.
Gest will also get his own reality show on ITV. The fly-on-the-wall documentary will follow the day to day life of the US multimillionaire and his strangely-named maid Vaginica Ceamen.
Business reality show Tycoon sees Peter Jones offer his own money to entrepreneurs with new business ideas, much like in BBC Two show Dragon's Den.
Hell's Kitchen also makes a return with "the godfather of British cooking," Marco Pierre White.
And in a bid to out do the BBC's A Picture of Britain and the popular Coast, ITV1's Incredible Britain sees Robbie Coltrane travel around the country in a 1950s classic car to uncover the uniqueness of the UK, while Sir Trevor MacDonald looks at iconic UK cityscapes and landscapes in Britain's Favourite View.
