Spielberg cut his teeth in TV, directing early episodes of Night Gallery and Colombo, so it’s no surprise he keeps going back.

His best TV work has been as ideas man rather than hands-on – Amazing Stories, Band Of Brothers and forthcoming HBO miniseries The Pacific.

TV we want to see: ET: The Series, where the titular extra terrestrial goes around helping out a different family each week, like an alien littlest hobo.
