A number of new reality shows on their way...

Arrow The Farm, five (from Tonight)
Nine Z-list celebs (or people who've had affairs with celebs, which now apparantly makes you a celeb) live on a farm for a month. Viewers vote for contestants to do tasks (sound familiar) and for who they want to leave (despite Five saying earlier it wouldn't be that type of show).
One to miss me thinks!

Arrow The Match, Sky One (early October)
A bit more interesting - 18 celebs train for one week to take part in The Match - a game against a team of Footballing Masters, with viewers voting for who they want to play. Somehow though Mark Bosnich - who was banned for drugs, but his suspension is now up, is part of the celeb team, rather than the footballers.

Arrow Kings of Comedy, E4 (October)
Eight comics of different eras will live together for a month to find out who is the funniest. Interesting, but so good it's not on C4.

Arrow Press Ganged, ITV1 (coming soon)
Eighteen people (real people, not celebs), are press ganged in this reality show which sees them forming two teams who compete against each other.

Arrow What the Butler Saw, C4 (coming soon)
This sounds more promising. A family of nine move in, competing to win a £50,000 "inheritence". Unknown to them, it's the staff that vote one person out of the will each week.

Oh that's quite interesting. What the Butler Saw seems to be a direct British version of US show The Family, whic was axed after two episodes and then burnt off during the Summer.

As I remember, it had positive reviews from critics as well. It also had a $1,000,000 prize.

I'm quite looking forward to Survivor: A Ship for some reason.
