Love or Money 8.10pm BBC1
A young couple are at the altar. As they complete their vows, the groom lifts his bride's veil. He exclaims delight and surprise at her beauty. Which might all sound perfectly natural but the surprise is heightened by the fact that this is the first time they've set eyes on one another.
The couple, Daniel and Samantha, are winners of a game-show competition in which audiences matched them up as the perfect partnership. They now have six months in which to get to know one another under the constant glare of media attention. They then face answering questions on one another - if they get them right, they stand to win £1 million.
This is a sweet-natured romantic drama with likeable performances from Emma Cunniffe and Steven Duffy, but because it's so amiable, it's not quite as cutting-edge as it thinks it is. Trying to be trenchant about "reality TV", it's just a bit too soft-hearted to stick the knife in. (Alison Graham, TV editor)
