Cracking US drama Ray Donovan returns for a new run on Sky Atlantic, which also has new period drama I'm Dying Up Here starting tonight - and Celebrity Masterchef is back!
Pick of the day:
Ray Donovan, 9.00pm, Sky Atlantic
This Liev Schreiber-starring drama about a Hollywood fixer just keeps getting better and better, and fans having been dying to see how things develop in this fifth season after a pretty explosive finale last time out.
A big plus is that Oscar winner Susan Sarandon is joining the show in a season-long recurring role as Samantha Winslow, the strong, focused head of a motion picture studio.
As for the show's main protagonist, life finally seems OK for Ray, but he’s about to enter uncharted waters.
With the Russian mob seemingly off his back for good, all his secrets out in the open, and the dysfunctional family apparently united against all threats, Ray’s tribe appears to be untouchable.
But that's not how any gritty TV drama works . . .

Four decades after his death, Elvis Presley remains a massive musical icon to millions, many of whom weren't even around when he died suddenly in 1977 at his home in Graceland.
Sky Arts looks at the life and enduring legacy of the King in this new documentary and aims to explain the reasons why he became - and remains - such a pop culture icon.
The film also offers analyses of his achievements against the changing political landscape of America and paints an honest portrait of one of the world’s most legendary entertainers.
