Scott & Bailey: Monday at 9pm on ITV1
Scott & Bailey was something of a surprise hit when its first series aired last year and quickly won over the public. Now Suranne Jones and Lesley Sharp are back for more crime fighting! If you enjoyed series one, you'll be pleased with what ITV's serving up this time - the opening episode is part of a two-part story as Scott and Bailey investigate some gruesome killings. Of course, there are battles on the home front too - Rachel's brother swans up and Janet's mum isn't making things easy for her husband. Oh, and look out for guest star Lisa Riley!
Alcatraz: Tuesday at 9pm on Watch
JJ Abrams - the TV supremo behind the likes of Lost and Fringe - unveils his latest drama offering on UK screens this week. Alcatraz stars Sarah Jones as Rebecca Madsen, a San Francisco homicide detective tasked with investigating the mysteries of the infamous island prison. At her side are Alcatraz expert 'Doc' Soto (Jorge Garcia) and the enigmatic Emerson Hauser (Sam Neill). Alcatraz won't change your life, but it's mindless, popcorn entertainment of the best kind. Former Lost star Garcia is particularly good value as a comic book enthusiast turned crime fighter.

Grey's Anatomy: Wednesday at 10pm on Sky Living
Grey's Anatomy has been around for so long now - it's in its eighth season - that it doesn't often break into our Must-See TV list. But this week you're being treated to a Very Special Episode! Yes, after last season's divisive musical, it's time for things to go a bit unusual in Seattle Grace. This time, there's no singing - instead, we get to see what could have happened if Meredith's mother hadn't died. Yep, it's a parallel universe! Expect some very weird sights and lots of treats for longtime fans of the show. Sure, it doesn't move the story on in any way whatsoever, but it's a fun little ride.

Love Life: Thursday at 9pm on ITV1
It's Thomas the footman as you've never seen him before! Yes, Downton Abbey's Rob James-Collier stars in this three-part romantic drama. When his girlfriend Lucy (Andrea Lowe) suggests they think about having a baby, Rob's character Joe gets itchy feet and goes travelling around the world for months. When he comes back, he's a little bit surprised to see that Lucy's now with child... It's all quite sweet and warm, with a performance from a certain Alexander Armstrong to enjoy too.
Eastbound & Down: Thursday at 10pm on FX
This US comedy - starring Danny McBride (Your Highness) as foul-mouthed former baseball pro Kenny Powers - won't be for everyone, but if you get sucked in, you're a fan for life. The third, and sadly final, season makes its UK premiere this week, as Kenny returns home for his son's first birthday. But when April (Katy Mixon) comes to Myrtle Beach, our hero finds himself in a whole world of trouble! It's a strong premiere, and keep your eyes peeled later this season for appearances from returning guest stars Will Ferrell and Matthew McConaughey...
