MTV Music Awards in Munich tonight
Thursday 1 November 2007
Amy Winehouse is a triple nominee, shortlisted for Best UK Act, Best Album (Back To Black) and Most Addictive Track (Rehab). Her rivals in the album category are Akon, Avril Lavigne, Linkin Park and Nelly Furtado.
Best Solo Artist will be a battle between Justin Timberlake, Avil Lavigne, Christina Aguilera, Mika, Nelly Furtado and Rihanna. Timberlake leads the field with four nominations.
The ceremony is being held this year in Munich, Germany, and hosted by rapper Snoop Dogg.
Organisers lined up a host of glamorous guest presenters including Joss Stone and model Lily Cole.
But the most eagerly awaited appearance of the night will be by Doherty and his band Babyshambles. The troubled singer should be on his best behaviour.
On Monday he was handed a suspended jail sentence for a string of drug and motoring offences. Doherty, 28, received a four month sentence suspended for two years, plus an 18-month supervision order and a 12-month drug rehabilitation order. Asked outside court if he was pleased, he replied: "You must be joking. I won't be able to take drugs for two years."

- The Apprentice
As Alan Sugar continues his search for his next business partner, the candidates are called to meet him on a rooftop overlooking the City of London, where countless financial deals are done on a daily basis. For one day only, the teams will be representing an online daily deals website that offers Londoners exclusive deals in hotel stays, beauty treatments, posh dinners and premium products. It's a test of the teams' negotiation skills; they must strike the right deal, get a good discount and deliver their offers to the website by close-of-business that evening. In the boardroom, there is a landslide victory, and the losers mount a desperate bid to stay in the running, but it seems that no one is safe from those fateful words, 'you're fired'.

- Lewis
Another week, another suspicious death to be explained. This time, a lovelorn professor is found dead a day after her internet dating video is posted on a subversive media blog. All the evidence points to suicide, but Lewis is convinced there's more to it than meets the eye. But when a second body turns up, a new problem arises - the officers' own lives are laid bare for the world to see on the internet, and it seems ancient college history may have something to do with the case.

- The Killing
Finally back in touch with Holder, Sarah reviews the case with him. They question why Rosie's backpack was dropped at the Larsen house two weeks after the murder. Was it the killer intending to torture the family, or was it a witness who felt remorse for not having come forward? Is it the same individual as the person with the Ogi Jun tattoo who was with Rosie on the Super 8 footage and who was also caught on the security camera at the Beau Soleil fire? Sarah and Holder stake out Janek's place and realise that Stan has apparently renewed his connection with the Polish mob. Still partially working outside the system, Sarah calls on a friend at the FBI to get more information about Janek and comes up with a new lead.

- Green is the Colour
This second programme in the series about the history of football (the English kind!) examines life after independence as the FAI found itself with a mountain to climb to earn the right to call the national team 'Ireland'. The struggle was marked by the uneasy relationship between politics and sport, but the pain and heartbreak of failing to qualify for a major tournament was eased by a booming domestic league, which entered a golden era but would eventually see a decline as eyes turned towards the English game.
