Being a mother to an infant is one of the most difficult jobs around, but new mum Melinda Gordon (Jennifer Love Hewitt) has more to contend with than most. In addition to nappy changing and late-night feeds, Melinda must also cope with visitors from beyond the grave, as series five of hit US drama Ghost Whisperer premieres on LIVING. The absorbing show follows the moving story of Melinda, a seemingly normal small-town wife and antiques dealer who has an amazing hidden talent – the ability to see and talk to ghosts.

• A pregnant and moody Melinda awaits the birth of her baby boy in this week’s season opener, but what should be a joyful time is clouded with anxiety. The prophetic Book of Changes has told her that she’ll give birth on 25 September, but it’s eight in the evening and there’s no sign of labour. At the risk of seeming crazy, she goes to the hospital where doctors discover the baby is in distress and must be delivered immediately by C-section. It’s a tense beginning to what is sure to be an eventful life in this supernaturally gifted family.
