Pick of the day
Station 19, 10.00pm, Sky Living & NOW TV
This brand-new series from the makers of Grey’s Anatomy and Scandal - including Shonda Rhimes - following the firefighters of Seattle Fire Station 19, and is a Grey's off-shoot.
Practically raised at Station 19, Andy Herrera is a confident fire fighter who is also the daughter of Pruitt Herrera, the formidable head of the firehouse and the person who inspired her to join the SFD.
Joining her is Jack Gibson, her lieutenant and another of Captain Pruitt’s protégés and, while Andy plays by the rules, Jack is more passionate and energetic.
Among their dedicated team mates is a familiar face to Grey’s Anatomy fans: new recruit Ben Warren, who has recently traded in his scalpel at Grey Sloan for a new start at the station.
New or Returning Shows
Occupied, 9.00pm, Sky Atlantic
The first season of this Norwegian drama might have had a seemingly far-fetched plot (it centres on a Russian invasion), but it was excellent.
Fingers crossed this second run is as entertaining, and the opening episode sees the Russian occupation maintaining a firm grip on Norway – but an exile government is formed.
The Secret Life of the Zoo, 8.00pm, Channel 4
The series that goes behind the scenes at Chester Zoo returns for a new run.
Sumatran orangutan sisters Emma and Subis are, unusually, due to give birth at the same time, after male Puluh got them both pregnant.
But while Emma appears one morning with her new baby, but Subis is rushed to the vet for a possible caesarean section. What happens next is highly unexpected and shocks the team.
Healthy Appetite, 8.30pm, RTÉ One
In each episode of this new show, TV presenter and healthy food guru Pamela Flood meets two top chefs who get signature appetisers, main courses or desserts deconstructed by dietitian Aveen Bannon.
There’s plenty of healthy competition in the kitchen as TV favourite Gary O’Hanlon (Operation Transformation, The Restaurant) takes on Cork’s finest Kate Lawlor (Fenn’s Quay, Oyster Tavern).

The Americans, 12.20am, RTÉ 2
