Pick TV’s Friday lineup packs a punch, from iconic space‑opera to high‑octane road patrols. Below we highlight the standout programmes and give a quick verdict on whether they’re worth your time.

1. Star Trek: Deep Space Nine – 15:00–16:00 BST

A time‑travel mishap that spills into the mystic world of Roswell. The episode offers strong character moments and a nostalgic nod to the original series. Still entertaining for those who appreciate classic interstellar drama.

2. Stargate SG‑1 – 16:00–17:00 BST

The ancient artefact that turns the crew into a blur of vision‑inducing alien sightings. The episode stays true to the show’s blend of science and mythology, providing a reliable viewing experience.

3. Star Trek: The Next Generation – 18:00–19:00 BST

Riker faces a murder accusation in a laboratory explosion. The plot is tight, and the episode showcases the series’ signature moral questions. Holds up well for long‑time fans.

4. Forensics: Catching The Killer – 20:00–21:00 BST

A 20‑year‑old cold case comes back to life thanks to cutting‑edge forensic science. The investigative detail is thorough, though pacing can feel sluggish at times. Still worth a watch if you enjoy crime‑drama.

5. Border Security: America’s Frontline – 07:00–08:00 BST

Cameras follow US border officers as they enforce the country’s contested immigration laws. The series offers a realistic look at border policy, with moments that are both tense and introspective.

6. Highway Patrol – 10:00–11:00 BST

A high‑speed chase through Australian roads, complete with defiant youth and reckless drivers. The footage is adrenaline‑filled, but the narrative can feel repetitive. A quick pick for a pump‑up watch.

7. Nothing To Declare – 09:00–10:00 BST

Follow Australian customs as they enforce quarantine and immigration laws. The series is informative, yet the episodic structure can come across as formulaic.
