Pick of the Day | Monday 19 January

9pm, 24, Sky1
Gosh, Sky, with these double bills you are really spoiling us! Unfortunately this is the last week of extra Bauer helpings – next Monday there’ll just be one hour of Jack doing his maverick thing. This is also the last week of the multi-start availability. Tonight, Dubaku gives President Taylor a terrifying ultimatum, and Tony spills the beans about a conspiracy theory. It seems he’s been quite busy since he ‘died’, and not just doing George Michael tribute concerts.

9pm, Eli Stone, Sci-Fi
This has got to be the most heavily promoted episode of a show ever – even 3-year-olds living in the depths of the Amazon  must have seen the shots of Katie Holmes all sassed up as a jazz singer for her guest turn as a potential love interest for hallucinating boy wonder Eli. Unfortunately it looks as if Katie, along with other big names like Sigourney Weaver and singer Seal, may not have been enough to save the show. Come to think of it, was that really George Michael in series one, or was it Carlos Bernard impersonating him?

10pm, Lipstick Jungle, Living
Wendy’s stressing out about organising an elaborate Thanksgiving dinner, and rather surprisingly doesn’t just get her assistant to hire some caterers for the event. Nico gets a taste of motherhood after Megan leaves her holding her baby,Victory is asked to design a non-designer-size wedding dress, and Shane is dogged with temptation. Fans will be pleased to hear that reports of the demise of the Lipstick ladies may have been premature…

11pm, The Corner, FX
This show is getting a special mention in honour of one of our site’s regular readers, Bob – hey Bob! We didn’t flag it up last week as it originally aired on Channel 4 back in 2003, but we appreciate that FX are treating it like a newbie, and it is from the chaps behind The Wire. Bob watched last week’s series opener and says it was excellent. The series is based on the nonfiction book ‘The Corner: A Year in the Life of an Inner-City Neighborhood’, and tells the true story of men, women and children living amid the open-air drug markets of West Baltimore.
