PAWN STARS A&E 131, 7.30pm

If you’re ever wondered what goes on inside a hock shop, you’re in luck. This longrunnin­g series takes viewers inside the colourful world of the Gold & Silver Pawn Shop located on the outskirts of Las Vegas, where owner Rick Harrison (pictured), his son Corey (aka Big Hoss) and his childhood mate Austin “Chumlee” Russell spend their days rummaging through people’s trash and treasure for a living. In tonight’s season premiere, Harrison comes face to face with fake government IDs belonging to Nazi spies, which leads him straight to the CIA where he is granted rare access. Meanwhile, Chumlee meet a seller with a first edition Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles comic book and Big Hoss checks out a little piece of Janis Joplin.

In tonight’s episode, third stewardess Ashling (pictured) suffers the consequenc­es of her white lie, Izzy’s promotion to lead deckhand creates waves and Rob makes his feelings abundantly clear. Meanwhile, a condiment mishap fuels the tension between chief stewardess Francesca and chef Rachel, and stewardess Elizabeth spends the charter focusing on deckhand James instead of her job.
