ANIMATED MOVIE Moana, 6pm, Sky Disney

FOOTBALL Millwall v Cardiff City, 7pm, Sky Football & Main Event
SEAN MORRISON was denied a penalty for Cardiff in added time when these two met in October in a game that ended 0-0. After a poor run over Christmas, they now play again — with City’s push for promotion still on.
RUGBY UNION Bath v Northampton Saints, 7pm, BT Sport 1
BATH would climb to third in the Premiership with victory over the struggling Saints tonight. Meanwhile, on Sky Sports Mix and Action (7.30pm), England’s up-and-coming stars take on Wales in the Under-20s Six Nations.
NYC STORY The Bold Type, Amazon Prime
COLOURFUL, lightly saucy new U.S. drama inspired by the life of Cosmopolitan editor-in-chief Joanna Coles and built around the fortunes of three friends who work at a frothy but also serious women’s magazine. Melora Hardin gives it acting oomph as formidable but caring editor Jacqueline Carlyle, who at one point passes up a call from Beyonce to carry on mentoring her young charges.
CARTOON FAMILY The Simpsons, 8pm, Sky One
THERE’S an echo from the past in this new episode as Homer re-forms his old bowling team, the Pin Pals — last seen in action back in season seven, 22 years ago. The ragtag band are taking on a team of hedge fund managers in an episode that is funniest in the first half.

SCANDI-CRIME Rebecka Martinsson: Arctic Murders, 9pm, More4
PLENTY of TV sleuths are human train wrecks, but few are as believable, or as rounded, as Rebecka Martinsson. She’s on a fairly even keel in tonight’s new episode of this exellent Swedish drama, in which the death of a diver opens the path to a darker mystery.
SETTLERS’ SAGA Jamestown, 9pm, Sky One
A DEATH in the colony upends Jocelyn’s (Naomi Battrick, pictured) life as Sky’s period drama returns for a new series. This formidable woman is far from defenceless, though (‘Sir, you may cut me down, but not so low that my nails cannot reach your eyes’), and that should provide plenty of drama in a second run that will also delve into slavery.
U.S. INVESTIGATORS NCIS, 9pm, Fox
PROFILER Jack Sloane (Maria Bello) roams between members of the team this week, explaining what she does and trying to make friends. Or is she doing something else? Abby has her suspicions, but for now, the death of another unlucky petty officer — this one at a golf course — must take precedence.
