What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
The rest is entertainment is presented by Octopus Energy. Now, fan mail is one of entertainment's strangest bargains. You send total devotion one way and the understanding that nothing may come back.
Certainly in our day, you would write to a film star or a singer. I wrote to Howard Jones. And maybe three months later, a sort of signed photo comes back that's clearly pro forma, you know, that you know Howard's never really looked at.
Steve Martin used to have the performer sort of thing, which would just leave blanks, like insert, like small details to make a joke about how completely impersonal his personal reply to you was. It was just like a standard thing.
Impersonal is interesting. That's why we're talking about this, because with Octopus Energy, you always can reply to their emails. And not only can you reply to them, they will go to the same small group of people who always deal with you. That's like unbelievable. Yeah.
It's almost unprecedented that a company you're giving your money to will actually respond to you.
Are contactable in some way. This episode is brought to you by EasyJet. You must have had that moment when you're watching a film, but you completely tune out the plot and start daydreaming about the location instead.
The bright Mediterranean colours on screen suddenly make the British weather look even greyer.
And sometimes it doesn't even take the Technicolour. Put on a black and white thriller set on the Italian coast and I'll enjoy the mystery, but part of me is already working out which flight gets me nearest, preferably with less identity theft and bluer skies.
For me, it is Greece. Once the rumours started that a certain star-studded musical was returning to the islands, that was all I needed. I was thinking about departures.

Hello, and welcome to this episode of The Rest Is Entertainment with me, Marina Hyde.
And me, Richard Osman. Hello, everyone. Hello, Marina. Hello, Richard. How are you? I am not too bad. It's been too hot.
I like it.
I know that. Yeah. But this hot?
But yeah, no, you're right. There were moments when even I was melting.
Try being six foot seven in this heat.
I'd love to. I'd love to be six foot seven. Yes, I would.
You are much nearer the sun. It is much, much hotter, I promise that. We've sort of got a summer special this week, funnily enough. We're going to talk about Love Island becoming literally the biggest show in the entire world, how that happened and where it leads us.
Yes, and we're also going to talk about Kylie Jenner is advertising Meta's new smart glasses. We're going to talk about smart glasses, also what the kind of move towards celebrities means for Silicon Valley and celebrities. Okay, let's get to Love Island. Yes. Let's journey to Love Island, which is now an enormous hit. In the US, it's the biggest show on US TV, generates kind of huge stars, like lots of reality shows. We're going to talk about reality shows and how I think reality stars have a much sort of bigger cultural cache now than movie stars. Now, in the past 24 hours, there have been a couple of stories about Love Island contestants. One's been removed from the UK version. and one from the US version of the show.
But for Thursday's Q&A episode, I can see we've had questions about TV participant vetting. So why don't we leave those aspects of contestant screening until then? And today we're talking about it as a sort of broader cultural phenomenon.
So the origin story of Love Island is a fascinating one. So the last three seasons, in fact, moved to Peacock in the States and a new host, Ariana Maddox, who's also worth talking about because she's an interesting one.
