Season 1
Episodes
Episode 1
In just the clothes on their back, with a day's supply of water and a few basic tools, the group is abandoned on the treacherous south east side of the island. They are immediately confronted with their first big decision when a helicopter flies overhead and parachutes a box of cash on the north shore. Do they chase the money or try to make camp? Bear keeps a watchful eye on proceedings.
Episode 2
Four days in, and the contestants are struggling. There's £100,000 hidden in the jungle, waiting to be found, but the group are busy battling sleep deprivation thanks to an insect infestation. Plumber Jack wrestles a potential meal from the grip of a python, and crisis hits when the islanders realise there is a major issue with their water supply. Ex-marine Marco and hereditary peer Ivar are sitting on a secret stash of £35,000. They volunteer to lead the search for a new water source - but can they be trusted to put the interests of the group before their own?
Episode 3
The group are barely subsisting on coconuts and winkles. With suspicions on the rise about the hidden cash, Morag takes action that threatens to tear the islanders apart.
Episode 4
After seven days without a proper meal, the group of hungry and exhausted contestants start to fall apart as tensions around money continue to plague the camp. Meanwhile, 58-year-old Morag and 75-year-old Irene are keen to prove that age and gender mean nothing on the island, as they set about the difficult task of hunting some food.
Episode 5
After days of hunger and bickering over cash, the end is in sight for the Islanders. But with £35k still to be discovered, will people share the money or keep it for themselves?
Surviving the Island
Bear returns to Treasure Island to explore how the castaways coped for 35 days - with the brutal conditions, each other, and with the lure of hidden cash worth £100k.

Amandaland
Following three series of the Merman-produced, BAFTA award-winning series Motherland, a brand-new spin-off, Amandaland, is coming to the BBC, focused on Amanda.
Post her divorce, Amanda has had to downsize and up sticks to South Harlesden, or as the Estate Agent calls it SoHa (definitely not the area around Wormwood Scrubs prison).
With both Manus and Georgie now at secondary school, Amanda has to try and get her head around raising teenagers, dealing with modern motherhood horrors like teenage drinking, fake Instagram accounts and eco anxiety. Not even a woman as certain of her parenting as Amanda can deal with these nightmares alone.
Then there's Amanda's mother Felicity who is constantly around, and completely in denial that she is, in fact, lonely. Theirs is a slightly unhealthy co-dependent relationship based on backhanded compliments and veiled snipes about her new home.
After a brief spell of freedom, Anne is sucked back into being Amanda's minion to help her navigate the social scene with the other parents at the children's new school. Thank God for Anne.
