Not everyone's cup of tea, but am really enjoying the Henry Rollins show on Sky 157 right now, interviewing Patton Oswalt. Funny man Patton, but some good comedy talk mixed with social commentary, I like the show, always look out for it.

Hopefully it won't be as shallow as might be expected of BBC pop science progs in recent years...

Horizon - What Is Reality? - BBC2 - 21.00

There is a strange and mysterious world that surrounds us, a world largely hidden from our senses. The quest to explain the true nature of reality is one of the great scientific detective stories.

Clues have been pieced together from deep within the atom, from the event horizon of black holes, and from the far reaches of the cosmos. It may be that that we are part of a cosmic hologram, projected from the edge of the universe. Or that we exist in an infinity of parallel worlds. Your reality may never look quite the same again.

This Thursday (3rd Feb)

Louis Theroux: Ultra Zionists (Thu, 9pm, BBC2)
Lovely Louis heads to the Israeli-occupied West Bank to spend time with a group of hardcore Zionists who believe their presence there is a divine right and duty. Their daily lives are ones of constant conflict with their Palestinian neighbours, from low-level jostling to the terrible violence that’s all too familiar from news reports. Louis’ trademark disarming, faux-naïve style is a perfect way of bringing out the human stories behind the hard news, and this is a typically excellent piece of work that is warm, funny, frightening and sober in equal parts. The man’s a true TV one-off – and at least this can’t have been as scary to make as his programme with Jimmy Savile.

Horizon: 21:00 on BBC Two (England, Northern Ireland, Scotland only)

Dr Alice Roberts asks one of the great questions about our species: are we still evolving?

There's no doubt that we're a product of millions of years of evolution.

But thanks to modern technology and medicine, did we escape Darwin's law of the survival of the fittest?

Alice follows a trail of clues from ancient human bones, to studies of remarkable people living in the most inhospitable parts of the planet, to the frontiers of genetic research to discover if we are still evolving - and where we might be heading.

As well as the sexiest doctor on TV being on, THE man himself is back this week:

How TV Ruined Your Life, 22:00 on BBC Two (England, Wales only)

From the moon landings to Blake's 7 to CSI: Miami, Charlie Brooker argues that television has warped our relationship with technology. Warning: this episode contains a computerised Simon Cowell and a lady in a silver catsuit.

Two of my favourite TV presenters right there. Fuck Barca and the Arse or ManU and Chelsea, this is much better viewing imo.

Today, 20:00 on BBC Two (except Northern Ireland (Analogue), Wales (Analogue))

David Attenborough returns to the island of Madagascar on a very personal quest.

In 1960 he visited the island to film one of his first ever wildlife series, Zoo Quest. Whilst he was there, he acquired a giant egg. It was the egg of an extinct bird known as the 'elephant bird' - the largest bird that ever lived. It has been one of his most treasured possessions ever since.

Fifty years older, he now returns to the island to find out more about this amazing creature and to see how the island has changed. Could the elephant bird's fate provide lessons that may help protect Madagascar's remaining wildlife?

Using Zoo Quest archive and specially shot location footage, this film follows David as he revisits scenes from his youth and meets people at the front line of wildlife protection. On his return, scientists at Oxford University are able to reveal for the first time how old David's egg actually is - and what that might tell us about the legendary elephant bird.

OK, so I'm a TV and BBC freak, but I love Attenborough and due to age we not see a lot more of him on the telly for much longer. I believe he's retiring soon. Anyway, interesting topic, imo, and as always I fully expect it to be good TV. He never fails to enlighten me. It has been advertised a lot, but just thought I'd post in case anyone forgot or missed it.

Taking on Tyson Tonight 9oc Discovery channel

Mike goes beyond just raising his feathered friends - he will race them for the very first time. With unprecedented access to the neighborhood haunts he grew up in and lifelong friends who surround him, this six-part series introduces audiences to the highly competitive, bizarrely fascinating subculture of pigeon racing. The stakes are high in a sport that has just as much machismo as boxing. But this time it's not about money; it's about bragging rights.

From the rooftops of Jersey City to the streets of Brooklyn, this series provides a window into Mike Tyson's complex life as the boxing legend reconnects with his roots and return to his childhood neighborhood to face his next challenge.

Two excellent documentaries on BBC tonight. First is Micheal Mosley on BBC1 with the first in a series of four about the human body and then, fairly late on BBC4 is Jim Al-Khalili on, well, everything and nothing. Fuck Brian Cox. This guy is way better and explains stuff without the need for expensive CGI and exotic backdrops. It's a repeat, but if you haven't seen it and your interested in this sort of stuff, (astronomy, quantum physics, etc.), I can't recommend it highly enough. Amazed me the first time and deffo going to watch it again.

Today, 21:00 on BBC One

Series exploring the wonders of the human body. Using spectacular graphics based on real images and the latest scientific research, Michael Mosley takes viewers on a voyage through the workings of the inner human universe. Travelling through the body, tiny clusters of hairs loom as large as a forest and hidden chambers of the heart rise up like a vast cathedral. To illustrate the surprising ways bodies work, the series also tells the stories of remarkable people from around the world who have pushed theirs to the absolute limit. From the moment of creation to our last breath, the series reveals the human body's ability to amaze and delight.

Mosley tells the story of human biological creation. He brings to life surprising medical research, revealing the improbable sequence of events that lead to birth. State-of-the-art graphics follow millions of sperm on their dangerous race towards the egg, revealing the ingenious ways that a woman's body selects the best; illustrate a body begining to self-assemble; and, in a television first, show a human face coming together. The programme follows the progress of a couple who are expecting triplets, from the 4D scan when they first come face-to-face with their babies to the dramatic finale of birth. Plus, meet a woman expecting her 16th baby and the oldest conjoined twins in the world

Today, 23:45 on BBC Four

Two-part documentary which deals with two of the deepest questions there are - what is everything, and what is nothing?

In two epic, surreal and mind-expanding films, Professor Jim Al-Khalili searches for an answer to these questions as he explores the true size and shape of the universe and delves into the amazing science behind apparent nothingness.

The first part, Everything, sees Professor Al-Khalili set out to discover what the universe might actually look like. The journey takes him from the distant past to the boundaries of the known universe. Along the way he charts the remarkable stories of the men and women who discovered the truth about the cosmos and investigates how our understanding of space has been shaped by both mathematics and astronomy.

BBC2 9pm tonight
Terry Pratchett follows a British man to Switzerland to take his own life, the man Peter Smedley was my godfather , i havent seen him for at least 10 years and as most god fathers he is/was a distant figure but the programme will be followed by a debate on assisted suicide, a highly immotive subject.
I wont watch the final moments but still will watch an amount of it to try and understand what were his thought patterns leading up to his decision

Theres a debate on after it which will be interesting

This World: Italy's Bloodiest Mafia
9pm, BBC2

Despite frequent crackdowns and prosecutions, the Camorra, Naples's mafia, maintains a deadly grip on the city, mutating with the times and depending on the code of silence observed by both members and those they extort. Mark Francetti visits the city where the network is so endemic it is known as "the system", with one newspaper dedicated entirely to its activities. Silvio Berlusconi vowed to get tough on the Camorra, as well as the rubbish crisis in Naples on which they thrive, but, three years on, both Camorra and the garbage remain. Some, however, are fighting back. David Stubbs
