BOSTON LEGAL
A double helping ends the second season of this drama that relies heavily on odd-couple chemistry between James Spader and William Shatner, who play lawyers Alan Shore and Denny Crane.

The unlikely kindred spirits are up to their old tricks (self-parody and in-jokes) when they travel to the Los Angeles office.

There, Shore tries to save a celebrity from prison and keep her out of the clutches of the ever-eccentric Crane. He also has to keep an eye on the oily senior partner, Barry Goal (Robert Wagner).

Marlene "The Squid" Stanger (Parker Posey) steals Denise's (Julie Bowen) defence work to impress Shirley Schmidt (Candice Bergen). Denise plots payback but it backfires.

And in one of the greatest comebacks since Lazarus, cancer-stricken tycoon Daniel Post (Michael J. Fox) returns from the dead with an outrageous proposal for Denise.

9.30PM, PRIME
EXTRAS
Patrick Stewart stars in this episode of Extras and the screen legend gives Andy a helping hand when he is called in for a meeting at the BBC. But events go awry when Maggie opens her mouth.

DRESSED TO KILL
Herald rating: * * * *
With a long-winded first half hour and a predictable finale, director Brian De Palma's thriller, about a psychiatrist (Michael Caine) who suspects a transsexual ex-patient may be homicidal, is a condensed homage to many of Alfred Hitchcock's finest moments: a shower scene reminiscent of Psycho and a lingering museum scene which nods to Vertigo. (1980)

8.30PM, RIALTO SKY DIGITAL
TOGETHER

Touching story about a father's love for his son, a violin prodigy. The pair travel from a small provincial town to Beijing, to audition for an exclusive music academy. (2002)
