Satellite Pick of the Day

Once Sky Movies Indie, 10.00pm THIS is an amazing and wonderful little film which captured the excitement of the movie world when it was released a couple of years ago.
Glen Hansard (rocker with Irish band The Frames, and the guitarist of The Commitments) plays a Dublin busker who falls for a Czech girl who plays the piano.

After meeting, the pair start songwriting together, and very soon, more than sweet music is made. Wonderful, tiny budgeted romantic drama with one of the best soundtracks in years.

The Mummy: Tomb Of The Dragon Emperor Sky Movies Premiere, 8.00pm THE Diet Coke of Indiana Jones adventures returns for a third instalment of undead battling, with Brendan Fraser and John Hannah.

Although the trio of adventurers are slightly different than before, as Rachel Weisz opted out of the part of Fraser's wife Evie, this time played by Maria Bello, who is great apart from a wavering accent.

Anyway, the team (joined by their adolescent son Alex) are off to China to stop an evil emperor raising an undead army to conquer
the world.

My Breasts Could Kill Me Sky1, 9.00pm THE talented and charming Dawn Porter has steadily been rising up the presenting ranks, with her fascinating first-person documentaries over the last couple of years, and makes her Sky debut with this new show.

She takes a look at the issue of breast cancer, a very personal one for the journalist, as her mother died of the disease at the age of 36.

She undergoes a mammogram herself, and talks to patients and specialists in the field.

One Tree Hill E4, 9.00pm THE sixth series of One Tree Hill kicks off tonight and once again follows the eventful lives of a bunch of high-school kids in Tree Hill, a small but far from quiet town in North Carolina.

In the season premiere, Tree Hill residents make decisions that will change their lives forever. Lucas finally pursues his dream with the woman he loves, Brooke faces a reunion with her mother, Mouth makes a startling revelation, Nathan and Haleyencounter a ghost from their past and the news of Dan's accident takes an unexpected turn.

Property Snakes And Ladders More4, 9.00pm NIGEL and Jilly Gough think a run-down Victorian house in Henley holds the key to mortgage- free living; while in Diss, Norfolk, Alan and Susan Hutchinson bank their life savings on a burnt-out game keeper's lodgein the woods.

But Sarah Beeny quickly discovers that both are getting too personal and not developing the properties for the broadest possible market.

Will they take her advice and change their plans in time to save them from losing everything in a market that is falling fast?
