Ah, Thursday night, the night when you need ingenuity and cunning to watch everything that’s on… (why don’t they put some of this stuff on boringly bland Wednesdays?) I’ll include repeat slots to help with your TV viewing map.
9pm, Terminator: Sarah Connor Chronicles, Virgin1
IT’S BACK! Series two resumes after what has seemed like an interminable break, but the pain will fade quite quickly cos tonight’s episode is a cracker with revelations about Jesse and Riley’s motives regarding John, and Sarah catching up with the Turk.
• catch it again on Virgin1+1, 10pm/tomorrow night, 10pm/Saturday night, 8pm
9pm, My Name Is Earl, E4
Earl tries to make amends for sleeping with the girlfriend of local stuntman Sweet Johnny (guest star David Arquette), while Joy gets carjacked and decides she needs a gun. I’m surprised she doesn’t already have one…
• catch it again at on E4+1, 10pm/Saturday, 7pm
9pm, ER, More4
It’s Halloween, but the best shock of the night has got to be the return of double amputee Ray. The interns are still paired with the residents, leading to several noses being put out of joint (only metaphorically, sadly – Sam’s still on best behaviour).
• catch it again at on More4+1, 10pm/Monday, 11.05pm
10pm, Grey’s Anatomy, Living
A plumbing problem wreaks havoc at Seattle Grace, not least for poor George who’s trying to retake his residency exam, and Izzie and Alex are furious to discover that Derek wants them to move out to make way for a full-on MerDer love nest. (Sorry – hope you weren’t trying to eat your lunch just then.)
• catch it again on Living+1, 11pm/Wednesday, 8pm
10pm, Brothers & Sisters, More4
Scotty’s po-faced parents come to visit just as Kevin finds out whether or not he’s going to be made partner at the law firm, and Nora and Holly have one of their unmissable face-offs after Rebecca finds out about Holly’s private detective work.
• catch it again on More4+1, 11pm/Monday, 12.05am
