Argh!! It’s series not season! This is literally the only TV Forum pedantic thing that I will die on a hill for.

At least the Royal Television Society got it right:

Everything is a season now due to Netflix. Despite pretty much anything worth watching on Netflix not being a Netflix production... (The British version of House of Cards was far better than the American despite probably a quarter of the budget, The Crown is okay if you want to waste some time on a Royalist docu-drama I suppose, erm what else...oh yes Black Mirror, whose best episodes were on Channel 4. Rant over)

Caroline Flack will now face trial in March.

Now, on to the important question. I'm assuming with this series being filmed in Cape Town it isn't actually going to be on an island.

Love Town doesn't have the same ring to it

How about:

- Isle of Love
- Love Island: Cape Town
- Love Villa
- Villa of Love

I disagree about House of Cards, the US version was excellent for its first two series, then it lost its way. You can't really directly compare it with the UK version, there's 30 years between them, and the UK series was much shorter and sharper.
The US are good, and better than us at long form series with very slow plot development. cf Breaking Bad, Fargo, Ozark etc....

I basically agree with every single word of this ^^^

Ozark is tremendous.

The new series of Love Island will air on Virgin Media One in Ireland instead of Virgin Media Two which it has done in previous years.

They ran out of ideas that’s the problem when everything including the ideas come from down south.

Not like the good olden days when itv companies throughout the land used to compete to get their programmes onto the network.
