5STAR’s evening is four hours of medicine, so choose your ward

Tonight on 5STAR is a single idea stretched across four slots. From 19:00 to 23:00 the channel runs GPs, Casualty 24/7, A&E After Dark and Ambulance: Code Red, then opens a new run of Skin A&E at 23:00. If hospitals and surgeries are what you came for, there is nothing to decide. If not, there is nothing else on the channel to switch to.

The pick is A&E After Dark at 21:00, episode 6 of series 6. Nine o’clock is where the competition is thinnest for this kind of viewer: Gogglebox on E4, Grand Designs on 4seven and The Celebrity Traitors: Uncloaked on BBC One are all different appetites. A&E After Dark has also aired on eight days in the current window, which tells you how much of a habit the channel wants it to be.

The opener

GPs: Behind Closed Doors begins primetime at 19:00, episode 21 of series 6. It is a Channel 5 series about general practitioners and has run to seven series. It has been on in the 5STAR schedule on 11 days in the window, so it is close to a fixture at this hour. It faces NCIS, Police Interceptors and Location, Location, Location, so you will not be short of alternatives.

The middle two

Casualty 24/7: Every Second Counts is on at 20:00, episode 3 of series 1, and it airs every day in the window, so missing it tonight costs little. It meets The Celebrity Traitors on BBC One head-on, which is the harder fight of the night. Ambulance: Code Red follows at 22:00, series 3, episode 10, against Law & Order: Special Victims Unit on 5USA and Gogglebox on E4.

Late

At 23:00 Skin A&E starts series 5 with episode 1. It is on twice today, with episode 12 of series 4 at five past midnight, so a late viewer could catch both ends of the day.

Elsewhere the schedule is Police Interceptors, Traffic Cops and Home and Away, with Home and Away’s episodes 179 and 180 at 18:00 and 18:30.
