Bargain Hunt

Lifestyle, 9.35pm

We love this in our house, bereft as it is of anything approaching antique - except me. Launched in 2000, it made a star of host David Dickinson, an English antiques expert and Widow Twanky look-alike. Part of the fun is in watching what the teams buy and how much they pay. "How much?" is the cry in our house. "They paid how much?" A brand new series premieres next Monday at 9.30pm.

Killer Tongue

(1996) World Movies, 4.40am (Fri)

This Spanish schlock-horror story tells of a woman hiding in a desert gas station with her poodles when a meteorite crashes nearby and changes her into an alien with - yes - a killer tongue. There's a mute nun thrown into the mix, too. How can you not want to watch this rubbish? One that Jonathan Rhys Meyers (a long way down the credits) might keep off his CV. It's on again tomorrow at 3.50pm.

America Exposed: Uncut

Ci, 7.30pm

Richard "Iceman" Kuklinski was a contract killer for the mafia who was banged up for two life sentences in 1988 and died in prison in March 2006. Tonight's Uncut is about him and is subtitled The Iceman Tapes: Conversations With A Killer. This is followed at 8.30pm by The Iceman Confesses: Secrets Of A Mafia Hitman at 8.30pm and, at 9.30pm, by The Iceman And The Psychiatrist. Had enough yet?
