Picks of the day 5
With Michelle Byrne
EASTENDERS
Who ever said teenagers had an easy life obviously didn't life in Walford. No one can deny that Saint Sonia has had a tough life, but tonight she plays a martyr once more. This time she's the shoulder to cry on for boyfriend, Martin, when he hears some terrible news. Martin then has to break the news to his mum. Pauline will be heartbroken and he Fowler family will never be the same again. Elsewhere, Patrick and Jim prove you can't teach old dogs new tricks and their friendship is put to the test.
MAKE ME HONEST
What do you get if you cross five do-gooders intent on changing the lives of five young ex-offenders? The answer: great entertainment in the form of yet another reality television programme. In the first of a new five-part series, we see Chelsea-girl Emily attempt to show Michael, a convicted mugger who's already spent time behind bars, the error of his ways. The brave girl sacrifices six months of her busy life as a mentor, to keep him out of trouble and in a job. It's an extremely testing time for her as she strives to make him a better person.
BLACK BOOKS
If you watch the weird and wonderful lives of Manny, Fran and Bernard each week - you have seven days notice to find something else to do on a Thursday evening - as this is sadly the last episode in the current series. Manny tries his hardest to convince everyone to attend an unconventional shindig tonight, well it was that or Fran's choice for dinner at Yo! Liver. The troll lookalike also has his eye on one of the party guests, which has less than romantic consequences. Great entertainment.
INSIDE CRIME
John Stapleton and the team return for a second series of the crime prevention show and turn their attentions to reporting on the highly organised world of mobile phone theft and fraud. It seems this is no longer just the crime of choice for petty criminals - mobile phone misdemeanours are now big business in the highly organised criminal underworld. This programme gives an unmissable insight into the technology and scams that have turned this increasing problem into a multi-million pound industry.
