SHORTLAND STREET
Meet the new guy. Dylan (Paul Glover, who you'll recognise from Street Legal and Hercules) offers to mentor Jay after she loses her job at Coltrane and starts to worry her small business won't pay her wages. It all seems innocent at first - she's a lesbian, he's married - but let's not forget this is a soap. He'll be sure to try to stick his tongue down her throat at some point. Good luck, mate.

8.30PM, TV ONE
STOCKWELL - COUNTDOWN TO KILLING
BBC reporter Peter Taylor investigates the "shoot-to-kill" policy that led to the tragic killing of a Brazilian man at a London tube station in July last year. Electrician Jean Charles de Menezes was mistaken for one of four suicide bombers who attacked London's transport system the previous day. Taylor interviews senior Met officers involved in the formation of the policy and follows the de Menezes family from Brazil to London in their quest for justice.
