After staying clear of Masterchef for a couple of years I've been pleasantly enjoying the current series of Masterchef:The Professionals. Greg Wallace is still a bit of a tool but always enjoy Michel Roux Jr cooking a classic.
I've missed the Sky Arts Portrait Competition so far
However have just caught the fact that episode 2 is repeated tonight and have set the series record for it - just need to patch episode 1 together from YouTube clips

I see a fourth series of 24 Hours in A&E commenced last night JC. Thoroughly enjoyed the first couple of series but overkill fatigue has began to set in.

Yep, watched it last night, I'd still loved to have worked in A&E but my life skills won't be much use to them
After spending literally the whole of one Friday night in the LGI A&E department a year ago this month (11pm to 5am) I can only sympathise with the staff and hope that the TV program shows more of the crap they have to put up with in the waiting area, including the police officers who are now based there permanently.

I saw quite a few who thought they were big and hard by being handcuffed to a police officer, sometimes two police officers, then again I got to go home afterwards and they didn't

Not for the faint hearted but the moving human story of a sufferer of Motor Neurone Disease is covered in the documentary I Am Breathing on Film4 tonight.

Might be a bit of an obvious one, but if you've got Sky you can get The Wire on demand. I missed it when it first came out and have only just started watching it. I say started, I've got into it that much I've been watching 2 or 3 episodes a night so am up to Series 3 already!
For a bit of wireless (wireless in the old fashioned sense) listening I keep returning time and again to http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/features/desert-island-discs the online archive of 1500+ episodes of Desert Island Discs not in the least because they offer an insight into how far Radio 4 has come since just a few decades ago - Roy Plomley's very snooty treatment of Daley Thompson for instance compared to how he fawned over Princess Grace of Monaco or Frank Muir (who in turn isn't at all like you'd expect him to be).
Yesterday I randomly picked out Nigel Slater and Nigella Lawson (pre marital split) who both had tragedies to speak of, Nigel Slater in particular offered a lot of personal information to Sue Lawley and sounds like he is quite a complicated character still, 'twas a very good 45 minutes or so.
