Gillian Anderson

The Fall is a gripping and excellent psychological drama set in Belfast, deftly flipping the coin between the pursuer (DSI Stella Gibson superbly brought to life by Gillian Anderson) and the pursued (serial killer Paul Spector, brilliantly played by Jamie Dornan). It's a cat and mouse game; will the copper get her man?

Here Comes Honey Boo Boo, Tuesday 21 May at 9pm, TLC

Honey Boo Boo

Fancy an eye-popping look inside the pink, glittery and downright 'redneckalicious' madcap world of Alana (aka Honey Boo Boo Child) and her family? The precocious seven-year-old is a pageant sensation, but when she's not chasing after tiaras, little Alana has fun with the rest of her close-knit family in rural Georgia.

A nurse from 24 Hours in A and E

Watching people in A&E isn't everybody's idea of a great evening's entertainment. Yes, this series contains more than its fair share of upsetting scenes, but it is always uplifting and life-affirming. What's more, it has superb characters: from the dedicated staff of doctors, nurses and auxiliary staff to the patients themselves.

Tonight, 26-year-old Nicholas is treated - his jaw has been dislocated an unprovoked attack.

The Big Bang Theory, Thursday 23 May at 8pm, E4
