“Do you hear what I hear?”
More and more TV’s constantly flicking to find just the right show to pass the time. Quite often that’s how the non-ratings gems are discovered – just by tripping over them. Or that’s how hours are wasted as you realise you just watched two hours Jersey Shore. TV can be a blessed mistress or a god-forsaken time machine. Settle in… we’re nearly at Christmas.

It’s here – finally! The season 3 final of Breaking Bad. Will Hank discover Walt’s secret? How will Walt’s boss deal with the death of his guys by Walt after he demanded peace from Jessie? What is Skylar going to do? TOO MANY QUESTIONS… and we’ve still got S04 to come, and the final season S05 starts mid-next year. Oh. Em. Gee.
The two-part series based on Terry’ Prachett’s novel Going Postal launches this Saturday night. One for nerds everywhere.
The corrected audio version of Tim Minchin vs the Sydney Symphony airs Saturday night on ABC1, and even though it’s a repeat it’s a fine example of the work of the very talented comedia/musician. Well worth the second sitting.
It’s good to see Warehouse 13 back, but such a shame that it’s on at 10:30 pm >:(
