EastEnders BBC1, Monday 8pm
One by one, the Jacksons are returning to the Square. Tonight, it’s the turn of Sonia (Natalie Cassidy) who joins in Bianca’s hen celebrations.
Law & Order UK ITV1, Monday 9pm
A backpacking student arrives back in the UK, only to collapse at the train station vomiting blood. On the autopsy table, it transpires she was a drugs mule, with the rupture of one of seventy packages of heroin causing her death. As usual, the show’s far more interesting during the police investigation than in the CPS courtroom scenes, although they’re enlivened by Eddie Marsan as the prosecution barrister. Keep an eye out for the most improbably named driving school in television history…
Glee E4, Monday 9pm
In order to keep an eye on her husband, the scheming Terri takes a job as school nurse. Not that she knows anything about nursing, of course. But those pills she hands out to the pupils go down a treat… Meandwhile, Will starts up a mashup contest in the glee club, with the boys and girls each having to come up with numbers that amalgamate two different songs.

Vampires: Why They Bite BBC3, Wednesday 9pm
What with Being Human, Vampire Diaries and True Blood on our TV screens as well as the diabolically awful Twilight saga in cinemas, the vampire has transformed from movie monster to romantic hero. Historian Lisa Hilton examines the phenomenon, with input from Sookie Stackhouse creator Charlaine Harris, and Being Human’s Toby Whithouse.
Dancing on Wheels BBC3, Thursday 9pm
Celebrities learn to ballroom dance. So far, so Strictly — but the difference here is that they are learning wheelchair dancesport with a non-celebrity wheelchair user who is equally new to the genre. Under the tutelage of Brian Fortuna, an active proponent of wheelchair ballroom in the US where his mother developed the dance syllabus, it’s all pre-recorded so there’s no public vote. Hopefully this series will help wheelchair dancesport take hold in the UK.
What Katie Did Next ITV2, Thursday 9pm
Unfortunately, “decided to be silent for the sake of her children” does not seem to be on the list…
Who killed Archie Scott?? was it Bradley? As we know he is leaving the show (thanks to The Stage) he has become an obvious suspect or just a clever red herring.....
