Ahhh, the televisual wasteland that is the Easter ratings break, allowing all of us to catch up on TV we’ve recorded but not seen or get ahead of the curve via methods legitimate and nefarious. Break out the DVD’s folks – there’s not a lot happening. Or is there? Pretty much everything moves into repeats, but in a sign there’s movement at the station 7TWO will screen the entire first season of Downton Abbey Sun-Wed this week. Some repeats can’t be all bad.

McDonald’s Gets Grilled is part advertorial, part propaganda, all suspect. “And now for the hard question: Just how awesome are your burgers?” “That’s a tough one – very awesome…”
The Christchurch earthquake was devastating, and the documentary 5 Days In The Red Zone following the heads of the respective emergency services during the first five days after the event. A compelling watch.
You don’t have to understand it – just be amazed. It’s appalling, rude, offensive and seriously hilarious: David Hasselhoff Roast.
