Here are 5 TV shows you can't miss this week...
1. Crazy Rich Agents: Selling Dream Homes
Sunday 6th August at 9pm on BBC Two
Since Selling Sunset, other broadcasters have been wanting a slice of that real estate pie. This week, it's the turn of BBC Two with Crazy Rich Agents: Selling Dream Houses, which follows five newbie luxury estate agents who have given up their old jobs to try and make it in the world of high-end housing.
At stake, is the chance to take home commission on million-pound mansions in the UK and beyond. There’s a former care home behavioural therapist, an international model, a building society worker, a Dubai estate agent, and a former music producer: their backgrounds are unique, but they all want to become luxury real estate’s next big thing.
The four-part series follows the rookies over the so-called ‘summer killing season’ as they try and win luxury listings, throw extravagant open houses, and charm millionaire clients. But they soon find out that the commission is hard won with sales falling through and difficult VIP clients.
Working for Nest Seekers’ new London branch, the newbies have given up not just their jobs but their salaries too: they only get paid if they make a sale. Who will survive long enough to take home a paycheck, and who will decide the high-end hustle isn’t for them?

2. Alone
Sunday 6th August at 9pm on Channel 4
Already a hit format in the US, Alone arrives on Channel 4 this week with what promises to be TV’s most epic, extreme and uncompromising survival experiment as 11 ordinary people face the ultimate test of endurance and ingenuity, in one of the most beautiful but challenging landscapes on earth.
Dropped in the remote wilderness of northwest Canada, completely alone and with no camera crew, each of them has challenged themselves to take part in the purest and most extreme competition on TV. Alone.
Each person must fend for themselves and survive for as long as possible, equipped with only a handful of basic tools, whilst filming their own adventure. The rules are simple but uncompromising: the last person standing wins £100,000.
Aged from 19 to 58 years old, these competitors are not die-hard survivalists; they are ordinary people seeking an extraordinary challenge, whose lives have brought them to this moment for different reasons. Their stories unfold as their time in the wilderness reveals their truest selves. The series is not only a bare-knuckle survival challenge but also gives an insight into the human spirit against all the odds.
