Pick of the week: Battle of the Brides

Alice in Wonderland vs Phantom in Battle of the Brides

9pm, Thursday, Sky Living (109) and Sky Living HD* (110)

New series!

If you want to annoy a modern bride on her wedding day, there’s one perfect way to do it: steal the limelight. This new eight-part series does exactly that.

Sixteen blushing brides are given the chance to enjoy the ceremony of their dreams, but they have to share it with a stranger. And both weddings must be identical, down to the very last detail. That means everything, from food and flowers, to – gasp! – even the dress itself.

The first episode dives straight into the front line with two themes that clash spectacularly. Cora wants Alice in Wonderland, complete with an extravagant dress and flamingo croquet. Zoe has dreams of arriving in a boat rowed by masked men in the style of Phantom of the Opera. Get set for tears, tantrums and tiara throwing.
