Unreal: A Critical History of Reality TV (Radio 4) | BBC SoundsIt’s… Wagatha Christie (Radio 5 live) | BBC Sounds Piers Morgan Uncensored (TalkTV) | apple.

comOne Dish (Radio 4) | BBC Sounds Unreal is a new Radio 4 documentary podcast about the ups and downs of reality TV.

Hosted by two excellent journalists, Pandora Sykes and Sirin Kale, it takes 10 hour-long episodes (all available) to unpick every major UK reality show since 2000, making stately progress from Nasty Nick (removed from the house by Big Brother’s producers) through to Faye and Teddy (Love Island, whose argument last summer sparked almost 25,000 complaints).

There is much to enjoy. Kale and Sykes are great interviewers, unafraid of asking tricky questions, and they land some excellent chats with the right people (they talk to Tom Rooke, who won There’s Something About Miriam, which Harsh Reality, a standalone podcast about the show, didn’t manage).
