At 6pm tonight, The Tube - which some of you might remember as an iconic 80s music show hosted by Jools Holland and Paula Yates - returns to Channel 4. But not to the telly, no - to the new Channel 4 Radio. Presented by Alex James of Blur fame - who told Time Out there will be "no crap on my show" - newcomer Emily Rose and Blue Peter's Konnie Huq, tonight's debut is set to include performances from Jamie-T and New Order, plus interviews with Paul Weller and REM's Mike Mills, and some comic larking about. Download it here and let us know if you think it's a return to former glory. Or not.
As for former glories, tonight's screening of Diamonds Are Forever (ITV4, 9pm) is a timely reminder that Bond will soon be back, this time played by Daniel Craig. I still can't decide whether I hate the James Bond films (because they are sexist, with bad jokes) or love them (because, well, it's James Bond). Anyway, Gwladys Fouche - somewhat controversially - thinks Timothy Dalton was the best Bond. But he'll only ever be Mr Rochester for me.
And now that the BBC's brilliant Jane Eyre is done and dusted, Sunday nights are in need of a new distraction. Which is why I'm very thankful that the second half of David Attenborough's fantastic Planet Earth has been held back until this weekend (Sunday, BBC1, 9pm). "Prepare to have your lower jaws unhinged once again," warns the Radio Times. Let's hope so.
But what about Saturday? On the best day of the weekend - you can have a lie in and stay up late, geddit? - I think it's worth checking out Into The West, the first of Steven Spielberg's six-part mini series on the colonisation of the American West (BBC2, 9pm). Just beforehand, you can hear him interviewed in The Culture Show (BBC2, 7.15pm) by Mark Kermode. But if it were you in the journalist's chair, what questions would you put to one of the most commercially successful directors of all time?
