Even though ratings aren’t back, some of the programs are (baby!). But we’ve one more week and then it’s back on like an animated fictional gorilla with a barrel problem.

At least ABC1 offer us some new joys this week: New Doctor Who to celebrate his 50th year; S03 of Miranda; and the gorgeous premiere of The Elegant Gentleman’s Guide to Knife Fighting. Add to this a farewell to a much loved Doctor Blake Murder Mysteries (who’ll be back for S02 in 2014).

SBS surpise us all with the screening of Mad Men S04 – now finally on free to air TV. And hello again the newly re-branded SBS2!

There’s also the return of My Kitchen Rules on Channel 7 (if you’re into that kind of thing).
