TV Guide 2024-02-10

Bill Bailey tries to Bring the Drama on BBC2 (Wed) in an acting contest, darlings. We hoped it was the last week of Love Island Is This Still On (VM2 and ITV2), but such was the viewer response that it was extended into next week. A new run of Breaking the News (Radio Scotland, Fri), and a new build on Lego Masters Aotearoa (E4, Sun).
