TURN ONS
The popular comedy-drama Cold Feet (Sunday, ITV, 9pm) kicks off with a two-hour episode as the usual three couples cope with fresh bouts of love, pain and the whole darn thing. Inspector Morse (Wednesday, ITV, 8.30pm) is only months away from retirement but it's no secret he's set to join the great detective cemetery in the sky before the end credits. Fans will have to make the most of John Thaw and Kevin Whately as the sleuths investigate an old, unsolved murder case. If you fancy seeing a younger Thaw then the film of the TV series Sweeney! (Thursday, C5, 9pm) is being re-run.
Is There A Crisis? asks the first of the three-part State Of The Planet (Wednesday, BBC1, 9.10pm). Happily politicians aren't the ones replying so we might get a straight answer. Scrapheap Challenge (Sunday, C4, 6pm) is one of those programmes that creep up on you without any publicity and become addictive. This is the final in which two teams have to construct a fire-fighting ship using bits and pieces found in a scrap yard, some technical know-how and a bit of luck.
TURN OFFS
Instead of being put out of its misery TFI Friday (tonight, C4, 6pm) lingers on without Chris Evans but with a series of guest presenters for the last seven editions. Tonight, the Spice Girls are in charge of welcoming Lenny Kravtiz, Craig David and Moby.
After this very soggy week of weather the prospect of watching a whole programme about flooding may seem a bit tactless. Andes To Amazon (Monday, BBC2, 9pm) focuses on the biggest river in the world, the Amazon, which bursts its banks every year to flood an area the size of England. The X Files (Wednesday, BBC2, 9pm) no longer excites the interest it once did. The story so far: Mulder is flat on his back in a psychiatric ward, Scully goes looking for a cure.
EITHER OR
Old rocker Elton John talks to Parkinson (Sunday, BBC1, 8pm) and the music goes on with Elton John Live In New York (Sunday, BBC1, 10.55pm) featuring highlights of Elton plonking the keyboards at a sell-out concert in Madison Square.
