Tonight's top TV includes Reeling in the Years hitting 2012, a sensational Line of Duty, Sharon Shannon visiting former homes - and later on, The Oscars begin when most sensible folk are fast asleep . . .

Pick of the Day

Reeling in the Years, 8.30pm, RTÉ One

This week’s edition features the hits and headlines of 2012, when Katie Taylor won boxing gold for Ireland at the London Olympics and Scouse singer Nathan Carter had a breakthrough hit with Wagon Wheel.

Elsewhere, in the USA, Barack Obama (below) won a second term as President. It was also the year when the Costa Concordia cruise ship ran aground off the coast of Italy.

Skydiver Felix Baumgartner completed a world record freefall parachute jump from a height of 38.9km above the Earth, and NASA scientists celebrated the success of the ‘Curiosity Rover’ mission to Mars.

Back in Ireland, the death of Savita Halappanavar in University Hospital Galway became an immediate focus for demands to change the country’s strict abortion laws, written into the Constitution since 1983.

Television in Ireland went fully digital this year as the old analogue system was switched off - and 2012 also saw the launch in Ireland of the streaming service Netflix.

Don’t Miss

Line of Duty, 9.00pm, BBC One

It’s the penultimate season six episode of Jed Mercurio’s compelling crime drama about ‘bent coppers’, starring Adrian Dunbar (above, left) as Ted Hastings, the head of an anti-corruption cop unit.

So, what’s going to be the result of last week’s cliffhanger? Have to say I’m not looking forward to this as I fear for the fate of Kate.

As AC-12 struggle to deal with the repercussions of tragic events, Hastings makes one final bid to uncover institutionalised corruption before his time runs out.

Keys to My Life, 7.30pm, RTÉ One

Animal Emergency, 8.00pm, Virgin Media One

Great concept for a TV show. Nothing pulls the heartstrings more than a sick pet.

This week, Chinook, a fluffy Samoyed dog is brought to the Vet Hospital in UCD to see if the tumour on his liver is operable.

Meanwhile, Mirabella the cat arrives for a radical radium treatment that only the Vet Hospital can provide in a last ditch effort to treat her thyroid issues, while Rua's owner is concerned he may have epilepsy, while a bull comes to the hospital for a delicate operation.

Season ten of this much-loved period drama continues through 1966 as Trixie befriends a patient during a delivery, but is troubled by the news that she has subsequently been readmitted to the Lady Emily after collapsing unexpectedly at home.

Sister Frances decides she needs to know more of the outside world if she is truly to understand her patients' needs, and Cyril and Fred come to the aid of a family who have been evicted from their home - although Violet is less than happy about their acts of charity.

Baby Done, Sky Cinema & NOW TV

New Zealand-born comedian Rose Matafeo (Taskmaster, Dead Pixels) has her first leading role in a feature film in this cute comedy about how not to grow up in the face of impending parenthood.

When Zoe (Matafeo) and Tim (Matthew Lewis) find out they are having a baby, they resolve to not let parenthood change them. Tim runs towards being a dad, while Zoe runs away from being a mammy.

Terrified that her life won’t be her own anymore, Zoe is still determined to tick off a list of their wildest dreams before the baby arrives.

Zoe’s increasing denial about her impending birth pushes her, and her relationship, to the limit.

Sunday Cinema

The Irish Civil War gets reimagined here as a snappy gangster movie – and it really works a treat.

Collins became a hero to many of his countryfolk before his single-minded determination to stick to his plans alienated him from his allies.
