Movie Choice of the day
The Jungle Book, 9.40pm, Sky Movies Disney
No, not the recent remake, but the superb animated musical comedy from 1967 that could put a smile on the most miserable of faces.
The songs are fantastic, Baloo is the best friend a boy could have, while Shere Khan is a nasty piece of work. This is a fitting finale for the great Walt Disney, as it was the last film he produced before his death in 1966.

Today's Guilty Pleasure
The Big Bang Theory, 9.00pm, RTÉ2
Back for a tenth season, this Chuck Lorre and Bill Prady-created sitcom about geeks and gals just keeps rolling along, despite losing its lustre some time ago – although Jim Parsons still rocks as needy and socially inept Sheldon Cooper.
In this season-opener, Penny and Leonard have gone to the effort of organising another wedding ceremony so that more everyone can attend.
But after Sheldon’s mother and Leonard's father share an evening together, everyone deals with an awkward morning the next day. Also, Penny’s family arrives for the wedding ceremony, including her anxiety-ridden mother, Susan, and her drug-dealing brother, Randall.
