Wednesday. Get the pigeons out of the cistern.

Tonight's viewing doesn't get underway till 8pm with PBS and Secrets of the Dead: Sinking Atlantis, the rise and fall of the Minoan civilization on the island of Crete.

TCM has a pile of Frank Sinatra flicks all evening long, some smart and sophisticated, some duds. Have a look.

At 9pm, History Television has Jerusalem 1948: A War From Three Sides, a look at when the British moved out of Palestine.

The History Channel has some pretty good stuff on too, starting at 8 with Modern Marvels: Mad Electricity, a portrait of Nikola Tesla. Then at 9 it's MonsterQuest: America's Loch Ness Monster, and then to wrap at 10pm they have on Deep Sea Detectives: Loch Ness (not the other one, the real one).

Good for now, time for bed.
