• Wild Florida, Nat Geo Wild, 18.00

An array of nature at its wildest, just beyond the famous beaches, mangroves and iconic human settlements of America’s playground.

• Back in the Game, Vuzu, 18.30

Terry Gannon jr was an All Star softball player until life threw her a few curve balls: a baby, a lost college scholarship and a loser for a husband. Terry and her son Danny move in with her estranged father, Terry sr, an opinionated, beer-guzzling, ex-athlete who never made the cut as a single father or pro baseball player. When he offers to coach Danny and a group of others, her past comes rushing back.

• River Monsters, Discovery Channel, 20.05
