Saturday, 10pm, CSI: NY, Five
Craig T Nelson’s media mogul Robert Dunbrook is back in the bad books after someone is shoved out of his office window, 20 stories up. Just one problem - the body’s gone missing, which makes it quite hard to investigate, never mind press charges… Still, it must be doing wonders for his newspaper sales. There’s no such thing as bad publicity, right?

Sunday, 9pm & 10pm, House, Sky1 & Sky1 HD

Sunday, 9pm, Supernatural, ITV2

Sunday, 11pm, Dirty Sexy Money, E4
SERIES FINALE And, indeed, show finale - DSM’s been cancelled, so don’t expect closure by the end of tonight’s episode. Simon finally spills the beans about who’s behind his skullduggery, Jeremy makes a big mistake during a weekend in Vegas, and Nick is ordered to stop Lisa publishing a kiss-and-tell book about the Darlings. The good news is that Donald Sutherland is already lined up for equally dynastic drama The Eastmans. Watch this space for more news on that one…

Sunday, 9pm & 10pm, Lost, Sky1
SERIES FINALE In the true spirit of the show, I really don’t want to give anything away about what happens. Suffice to say you will be scratching your head for weeks to come after the double bill, and driving the non-Losties in your life mad with endless discussions about Jacob, Locke, Ben et al.
