The mammoths Manni and Elli are expecting their first baby. And while the two of them are all about the offspring, sloth Sid feels left out and wants to start his own family.

8:15 p.m., ONE, The Denmark crime thriller: rough nights, crime thriller
In the pagan “rough nights” there is unbridled exuberance in the former Viking town of Ribe. Even at the police station, where the conscientious patrol officer Ida Sörensen (Marlene Morreis) helps out on the night shift, chaos reigns. At this moment nobody thinks of a sadistic serial killer who kidnaps people and lets them starve in the forest. Ida also doesn’t recognize Smillla Vestergaad (Anne Kanis), who has been missing for days, was able to free herself from her bonds and now appears among all the disguised and drunk people in the police station.
