Chasing Churchill: In Search of My Grandfather – "Wanted Dead or Alive". Celia Sandys is the granddaughter of one Winston Churchill. Well, not "one" Winston Churchill as much as "the" Winston Churchill. In this three part-series, Celia looks at her grandfather's art and literature in attempt to better understand the man she traveled with (or so I'm told) towards the end of his life.

Nova - “Mystery of the Megaflood”. Not to worry, this flood was back during the last ice age. It occurred in what would become the American Northwest, and Nova proves once and for all that it did indeed happen. Must’ve been that damned global warming, Mr. Gore, I salute you.

9:00 – 10:00PM

Wide Angle – "TBA.” That means "to be announced" as in, I can't say what the episode will be at this moment, but it will be an episode of Wide Angle.

10:00 – 11:00PM

P.O.V. – "9 Star Hotel". This may be a really important episode, it may be, but I view it as false advertising, there is no terribly, incredibly, hugely, fancy hotel that somehow got 9 stars. If there was, I'd be staying there (I wish). In reality, this show is about a group of Palestinian men working illegally as construction workers in Israel. Maybe they're making really fancy hotels, 9 star ones, maybe that's how they got the name of the episode.

Click & Clack's As the Wrench Turns. Back-to-back episodes of this animated sitcom (including the premiere) follow the Tappet brothers, Click and Clack. Or, if you prefer, people similar to (but not the same as) Tom and Ray Magliozzi, the hosts of NPR's "Car Talk" who were actually featured on an episode of Nova a while back. Now you wonder why they were in that episode, yes?

9:00 – 10:00PM

Nova scienceNOW. ScienceNOW is the newest addition to the Nova family, currently in its third season. Episodes in this series look at a variety of topics over the course of a single episode instead of just one thing for the whole hour. This week you've got your leeches, your search for extra terrestrial life in the form of SETI, a look at stem cells, and a bio piece on Edie Widder who does deep sea diving.
