- One Born Every Minute
Tonight we meet Sarah Sanderson (27) and her partner Jamie (24). They met in a pub. She challenged him to a drinking contest which she won. Now they're having their first child but it's not all as plain sailing as downing pints of plain: Sarah's pregnancy has been stressful because the last time she was pregnant she delivered a stillborn baby at 22 weeks. She was told she'd never be able to carry a child to full term, and had come to an acceptance of life without children. But after feeling nauseous at work, one final pregnancy test gave her the good news she hadn't dared dream of. However, at the hospital midwives discover her baby is lying sideways, which is problematic for an easy natural birth.

- Rásaí na Gaillimhe 2
The second series of this excellent comedy drama set around the runners and riders, chancers and crooks at the Galway Races hits a real gallop tonight. Don Wycherley leads a great cast as Keane, the politician who's trying to scramble back up the totem poll of popularity. Tonight we find him and Creed (Tom Ó Suilleabháin) ensnared at a roadblock by Siobhan (Carrie Crowley), with another dead body in the boot. Keane is beginning to wilt when the intervention of the criminal brothers De Barra inadvertently saves them. Elsewhere, Tommy Lacey (Owen Roe) steps up his covert campaign against Harris (Eamonn Hunt) with a succession of daring thefts.

- Next Great Artist
After reality TV searches for popstars, acrobatic North Sea arc welders and, most soul-crushing of all, models, this new series may actually have some substance. We see 14 talented artists draw on all their creativity and talent to compete for a handsome $100,000 prize and a solo show at the famous Brooklyn Museum of Art. It's produced by Sex and the City star Sarah Jessica Parker and each week, one artist will be eliminated by a team of art critics and gallery owners who may make Cowell look saintly. The contestants will battle each other to create varied, ground-breaking and controversial art against the clock, from designing book covers for Penguin to making large-scale installations for public spaces.

- 10 O'Clock Live
This noble attempt to revive the fine tradition of the television satire of the '60s and create a British version of Jon Stewart's Daily Show, is back and we're happy about that. Hosted by David Mitchell, Jimmy Carr, Charlie Brooker and Lauren Laverne, the show mixes comedy, sketches and round-table discussions about the big news stories of the week. Considering it's a live show, it's a big ask but it also means 10 O'Clock Live can break hard news stories as they happen.

- Daddy Daycare
British women do twice as much childcare as men and nearly half of all mothers feel that their partners don't do their fair share. In Daddy Daycare, long-suffering wives and partners send their men on a crash course in childcare. Three more men are sent to work in a busy London nursery, and tackle every aspect of childcare under the watchful eyes of the nursery staff. Stressed-out father to four girls, Grant (32), old-fashioned dad, Paul (40), and career-committed new dad, Tony (30), spend a week working at northwest London nursery Carlton Hill, staffed - like most nurseries - entirely by women.
