9pm, Scrubs, E4
SERIES FINALE The Sacred Heart team swap scalpels for swords in a fairy tale-themed homage to cult movie The Princess Bride, as JD dreams up a bedside story for his son turning all his workmates into characters in a whimsical yarn. You might like to get yourself in the mood by watching the Paramount double bill at 7pm featuring former ER star Julianna Margulies - there’s a clip below. Boy has she lost her bedside manner.
10pm, Grey’s Anatomy, Five
After all the drama of the past three weeks things lighten up a bit - well, temporarily anyway. The docs are all bickering over the chief-of-staff post, especially when an outside competitor shows up. Meredith, still feeling all warm and fuzzy inside after her near-death experience, starts building bridges with her dad, and George and Izzy do something very very bad.
11pm, Empire, Sky One
No it hasn’t disappeared from Thursday nights, Sky have just moved it closer to the graveyard shift - we forgive them though, since they’ve put re-runs of the always watchable Bones in the 10pm slot. Back to Empire, and Marc Antony saves Octavius and Tyrannus, and offers them shelter at his villa in the countryside, but Tyrannus is suspicious of his motives. Don’t eat the dormice, Octavius!
