9pm, One Tree Hill, E4
Kevin ‘Britney’s ex’ Federline puts his knowledge of petulant pop stars to good use, guest-starring as a mouthy rocker who Peyton’s tempted to sign to her new record label. Meanwhile the show continues to morph into Melrose Place with the appearance of Daphne Zuniga as Brook’s fantastically bitchy mother, and Nathan finally shaves off that ridiculous beard.
10pm, Numb3rs, ITV3
Erik Palladino, who you might remember as the cocky Dr Malucci in ER, appears in tonight’s episode as an army captain drafted in to help as the team try to prevent terrorists poisoning the entire population of LA through its waterworks system. Charlie ends up calling on his dad (Judd Hirsch) for advice again, but he might want to get Jack Bauer’s cellphone number – I believe he faced a similar problem last year in 24.
10pm, Chuck, Virgin 1
The mystery that is Casey goes some way to being solved as Chuck discovers he had his heart broken by a woman called Ilsa, and suddenly the whole episode goes a bit Casablanca. Ilsa’s played by Casino Royale Bond girl Ivana Milicevic, who will also appear briefly in Thursday night’s episode of House. Keep your eyes peeled!
