Not all the new reality shows, not thwarted by the blocking, however. Channel 4 has announced a new series and a celebrity Version of The Circle , in which participants are willing to help, closed and communicate via a Social Media platform.

"It is isolated, basically. an entertainment format, the bled and in Real Life "

Love Island , Australia started on Monday with almost 500,000 live spectators - 15% of the sum voted for the Start of the Last Summer series.

Many of them were beaten bad by the lack of diversity and level of superficiality and showing off that even The British Version , with quotes like: "It's not a deal-breaker if a guy have a boat"; and "I'm so handsome, I'm so beautiful".

The series was on Australian television two years ago, highlighting a disadvantage of airing existing series from other Countries - Spoiler.

This is a particular risk with The Second row of The Masked singer, US - a show that so much of the Mystery and that is on ITV on Saturday afternoon, eight months after he went to The States .

But TV critic Emma Bullimore says the import shows as a "clever idea" in the circumstances.

"In terms of the entertainment shows, you are obviously in a really difficult time, as it has on the line," she told Bbc News .

"It is more difficult to show, to show a repeat of "Britain's Got Talent, as you will have to think a repeat of Broadchurch, it seems to do the smart thing - in these formats worked, across The World , Why Not one of The Other country-versions of the shows that we love?

"of course, we no longer live in an isolated world and There are spoilers everywhere on The Internet But if you want to see it and enjoy it, you can choose not to look it up. "

Big Brother : the Best Shows Ever, the viewers are Back To reality TV-the good old days

With the Big Brother , the Best Shows Ever, currently being repeated on E4, it's more of a wallow in nostalgia, not to try to remember who actually won.

"It was television, There is a quite different piece, and the people have so much nostalgia and Memories apart," Bullimore said.

"It was fascinating to watch, as The First one, the nasty Nick moment - it is so tame now in comparison to what is happening on reality shows, but it was so dramatic at the time. "

It is not just the reality that were out of old Memories - the Soaps have also turned to classic moments of the new episodes will be driven Back .

EastEnders finally ran out of new episodes on Tuesday, when the program ended with The Words : "the following continuation. "

Bullimore pointed out, that the TV executives, "not just warm up stuff - There were some really good, clever last-minute commissions".

Shows Grayson Perry 's Art Club to Hold Jamie Oliver , cook & Carry On and Peter Crouch , Our summer have been hastily put together, with varying degrees of success.

"is It a space for creativity and innovation," she says. "But you just can't Love Island -well, you just can't have a great Talent Show . It is not easy to go to work. "

So What is the Big entertainment shows, due to air in The Coming months?

Strictly and Bake Off both together are shows, where some or all of The Cast and the crew may be required, to isolate, to protect them from The Virus .

The Apprentice usually starts in October, but the shooting was delayed, and it could be Back in The Spring , or postponed for a whole year.
