Married At First Sight: Tip Of The Iceberg?

Description

Is this the end for the hit reality dating show, Married At First Sight? Were the inaugural ‘Enhanced Games’ a hit or flop? And what does the end of Stephen Colbert’s Late Show tell us about where late-night TV is going? Channel 4 has pulled Married at First Sight UK from streaming in the wake of sexual abuse allegations by former participants. Richard Osman and Marina Hyde unpick what this means for Channel 4, and whether the controversial format is too toxic to save. The Enhanced Games saw elite athletes flock to Las Vegas for a contest where performance-enhancing drugs were encouraged, not banned. Will this herald a new age of sporting entertainment? Stephen Colbert has bid farewell to The Late Show, an institution of America's small screen. But what will happen to late-night TV without it? And what will Colbert do next?
