Scotland's sparkling comedy makes its return to our screens tonight with Dinosaur, the tummy-tickling tale of thirtysomething autistic woman Nina, played by Ashley Storrie, who follows her passion for paleontology.
As Nina is asked to stay at an Isle of Wight dig, she finds herself torn between her dreams and a potential love interest, Lee. With the help of her sister Evie (played by Kat Ronney), Nina must decide what's truly important to her as they navigate the ups and downs of life.
On Channel 4, ultra-athlete Ross Edgley embarks on an incredible journey as he swims the entire 1,000-mile coastline of Iceland in a science project. But things take a turn for the worse when he succumbs to hypothermia, making this three-part documentary an unmissable watch.
Meanwhile, Professor Alice Roberts continues her quest to traverse every ancient empire by public transport on Channel 4. This time, she explores the Roman Empire, starting in Pompeii and delving into its engineering, art, and the role of slaves.
Later tonight, BBC One's Waiting for the Out wraps up as Dan speaks to a man who knew his father, while ITV1's The Jonathan Ross Show features Hugh Bonneville and Riz Ahmed among its guests.
Finally, on BBC Two, Reel Stories shines a light on Rick Astley's unusual career, from tea boy to hit factory, and features an exclusive look at Glastonbury 2023.
Other highlights include the premiere of Crossing on BBC Four, where Lia searches for her lost transgender niece in Istanbul, and live sport coverage of the Winter Olympics, T20 World Cup Cricket, and Premier League Football.

but seriously, can we talk about how many ppl have to deal with hypothermia every year? it's like, a real thing people 
1,000 miles is insane 
. Like, who thought it was a good idea to put Ross Edgley out in the freezing cold for 1,000 miles? Poor dude's gotta be dead by now 
. And don't even get me started on Professor Alice Roberts - she's like the ultimate "ladventurer" 
, always traipsing off to ancient empires without any actual expertise or preparation. Give me a break! 
Dinosaur sounds like a total laugh-out-loud fest with Ashley Storrie playing Nina - I love how Channel 4 is bringing back Scotland's comedy scene. On the other hand, Ross Edgley's Icelandic swim documentary sounds super intense and a bit scary 
. I mean, hypothermia? Not cool! But hey, it's all about the adventure and science, right?
I'm also stoked to see The Jonathan Ross Show with Hugh Bonneville and Riz Ahmed - always a good vibe! 
I'm so down for tonight's lineup! 
Dinosaur looks hilarious 
, I love Ashley Storrie's stuff - she's always made me laugh in her YouTube vids. And I've been meaning to watch Ross Edgley's Iceland swim doco for ages... hope he's okay after hypothermia 
! Pompeii, here I come! 
The Jonathan Ross Show sounds like fun too - Hugh Bonneville always cracks me up 
. And Rick Astley? What's not to love? 
Anyone else excited about the Winter Olympics and Premier League Football? 
️
! A thirtysomething autistic woman navigating love, family, and paleontology sounds like a perfect combo of quirky humor and heartwarming moments. Can't wait to see how Ross Edgley copes with hypothermia while swimming the Iceland coastline - that's some crazy endurance stuff! 
And I'm intrigued by Professor Alice Roberts' Roman Empire adventure, exploring ancient engineering and art on public transport 
. It's gonna be a wild ride tonite with all these awesome shows and events 
i feel so bad for Ross Edgley 
he's such an amazing guy and to go through that experience... i can only imagine how tough it must've been for him 
but on a more positive note, i'm super hyped for Rick Astley 
his story is literally the most iconic and i love how Reel Stories is giving us a behind-the-scenes look at his tea boy days to hit factory journey 
let's get cozy and laugh together 
Anyway, Ross Edgley swimming Iceland sounds crazy, I'd probably hypothermia too lol. Professor Alice Roberts' travels look super cool, maybe she'll inspire me to take a bus trip across Europe next year! 
. But seriously, I'm low-key excited to see what Rick Astley's story is all about... who knew the guy was a tea boy? 
meanwhile Professor Alice Roberts is just the coolest, I love how she explores ancient empires on public transport, so inspiring 
. And can we talk about Ross Edgley's Iceland swim doco? 1000 miles of swimming sounds like a crazy adventure 
Ashley Storrie is talented, can't wait to watch it with my own kiddo who's all about dinosaurs too 
. And I love that Channel 4 has Ross Edgley doing this crazy Iceland swim doco - hypothermia is no joke! 
. Plus, Ross Edgley swimming 1000 miles in Iceland is insane 
! The doco on Professor Alice Roberts traveling ancient empires by public transport sounds fascinating 
. And Rick Astley's story is so extra 
! Don't get me wrong, I love a good laugh from Dinosaur's comedy vibes 
, but can we please talk about how the protagonist Nina is literally struggling to make ends meet? Like, her passion for paleontology isn't even enough to keep her afloat financially?! 
It's not all rainbows and unicorns out there, you know? And don't even get me started on Ross Edgley's sciency project – who cares about swimming 1,000 miles in Iceland when there are so many pressing issues in the world that need attention? 
. Can we please have more nuanced portrayals of complex issues like autism and mental health?! I swear, sometimes I just wanna scream at the TV and be like, "Can't they see this is a bigger problem than just a funny show about dinosaurs?!" 
! Dinosaur looks like such a heartwarming show, tackling real issues with humor and love 
. That Ross Edgley documentary though? Mind-blowing 
... now I'm excited for the rest of the lineup!
