Best TV shows on TV tonight
Ambulance, 9pm, BBC1
There are definitely some episodes of Ambulance where you wonder how the paramedics cope with the trauma they witness, and tonight’s is one of them. There’s a fatality with a person hit by a train, a 12-year-old boy with pelvic injuries after a 30ft fall from a bridge, a girl who has been run over, a three-car collision and a motorcyclist pronounced dead at a motorway crash scene. Of course, it’s all in a day’s work for the crew, although as paramedic Kirsten puts it, ‘What we do really isn’t normal’…

The Supervet: Puppy Special, 8pm, C4
Cameras catch up with some of Noel Fitzpatrick’s most dramatic cases in this heartwarming new series. The first episode looks at some of his puppy patients and, unsurprisingly, vets are no more immune to their charms than the rest of us. ‘The team go all gooey when a puppy comes in and we get no work done for about an hour," says Noel. Tonight, we get updates on bulldog Chica, who needed intricate surgery as a three-month-old, and miniature dachshund Peggy, who had to have daily intensive physiotherapy and was the smallest dog ever to be treated using the practice’s underwater treadmill.

Billion Pound Cruises: All at Sea, 9pm, ITV
Cruising was big business the world over… until recently. This documentary shows how COVID-19 brought the £120 billion cruise industry to its knees across six fateful weeks. David and Sally Abel were celebrating their golden wedding anniversary sailing around the South China Sea on the luxury Diamond Princess when David was struck down with coronavirus. A growing number of ships reported cases but more than 100 vessels continued cruising to ports all over the world… Truly an eye-opener.
