CHANNEL INFINITY +1 (Gems from way down the programme guide)

The Unit
Bravo, 10pm
Bravo+1, 11pm

After going AWOL for a while, the Delta Force drama with Dennis Haysbert (President Palmer in 24) and T-1000 Robert Patrick returned a little while back, and tonight reaches S3ep5. The end of the second season took an interesting turn, when dark political forces (Cough, Cheney, cough, Haliburton, cough) tried to shaft the special forces to hide their dodgy doings. Well, with David Mamet as one of the creators (along with The Shield's Shawn Ryan), betrayals and twists were always going to be the order of the day. There's always enough action to make proceedings a little MacGuyverish, but also plenty of thoughtful drama too. Worth catching up with, if you enjoy Mamet's and Ryan's work, and, indeed, Haysbert's previous incarnation.
