TV

Arrow
1x18 Salvation

The Good Life
3x01 The Early Birds

The Mentalist
5x17 Red, White and Blue
Can't believe it's taken them 'til season five to use that title!
[Watch it (again) on Demand 5.]

Plebs
1x04 The Herpes Cat
[Watch it (again) on ITV Player.]

Scott & Bailey
3x02 Episode 2
A very sloppy flashback episode -- hard to tell what was set in the past and what in the 'present' (which is already removed in some way thanks to that opening to episode one that ended with "eight months earlier"), and no tension because we know where it all ends up. If this had been linear and the first episode it would've been fine, but why have last week's isolated case only to jump back into the ongoing stories here? Daft.
[Watch it (again) on ITV Player.]

Not the most exciting title ever, but obviously I'm still looking forward to this.
