How to Break into the Elite
● DOCUMENTARY / 9pm / BBC2
NEW
BBC Media Editor Amol Rajan
wants to know how hard it is for
working-class graduates to break into the
professions of law, banking and media. He
follows a group of students to see why,
despite their degrees from top universities,
the companies they aspire to work for
aren’t snapping them up. The stats
regarding social mobility are pretty
depressing – in fact, without contacts, a
private education and a bucketload of
confidence, it seems virtually impossible
to get an interview, never mind a job. So
then how did Amol – a lower middle-class,
state-educated kid – do it? He meets up
with talk-show host and DJ Matthew Wright,
who gave him his first big break in media,
to find out why he stood out. HHHHJL
Long Lost Family: What
Happened Next
● REAL LIFE / 9pm / ITV
NEW
We’ve been riveted by the Long
Lost Family reunions over the
past few years, but now this ‘revisit’ series
catches up with the next steps after the
initial, emotional first meetings. Tonight’s
first story follows Julie, who was reunited
with her birth mother Marion last year. It
turns out that they have a lot in common,
and they now call each other every day.
The second story is about Christina, who
was adopted from Colombia as a baby, as
she gets to know her birth family. HHHHJP
Love Island: The Final
● REALITY / 9pm / ITV2
LIVE
After eight weeks of romance and drama, Love
Island reaches its grand final with host Caroline
Flack announcing the winning couple, as voted for by
viewers. At first, it looked like ballroom dancer Curtis
Pritchard and flight attendant Amy Hart were a shoo-in
- until he left her so heartbroken that she quit the show.
Boxer Tommy Fury and social influencer Molly-Mae
Hague are now the hot favourites. But who will actually
be crowned Love Island champions 2019? HHHHVW
