STAR TREK: ENTERPRISE

7PM, PICK ★★★

A chance to see this pre-kirk Star Trek show from the start. There’s a real sense of adventure to Enterprise, because the crew and their rough diamond captain (Scott Bakula, left) are going into the great beyond without fancy technology, or respect from the aliens they meet. 9PM, ALIBI ★★★

The new, 14th season of this cosy Canadian mystery deals with death in the world of vaudeville, and the case introduces us to rising talents Charlie Chaplin, Stan Laurel (Ryan Tapley, left) and Buster Keaton. Don’t miss the moment of inspiration for Chaplin’s Tramp character.

TRAFFICKED

9PM, NAT GEOGRAPHIC ★★★

The journalist Mariana van Zeller (left) explores different types of trafficking in this hard-hitting new series, from humans to wildlife to money to drugs. She starts with tigers and chats to an imprisoned Joe Exotic, of Tiger King fame, before heading to the front line of the global black market in Thailand.

MARK KERMODE’S SECRETS OF CINEMA

9PM, BBC4 ★★★★ Movies and pop music have a close relationship, from vehicles for its stars (A Hard Day’s Night, which follows) to the way a film can help a song to top the charts. Music is close to Kermode’s heart – the critic (left) is a skiffle player – and his guide to the genre is even more accomplished than usual.

A.P. BIO

9PM, SKY COMEDY ★★★ The new, third season of this US school comedy is just eight episodes long, but manages to pack an awful lot of wackiness into that short run. In tonight’s curtain-raiser, Principal Durbin (Patton Oswalt, left), his chest hair freshly dyed, mans the phones while his secretary makes an awkward return to the classroom. RW
