IT’S RATINGS TIME, BABY!!! We’ve already got one casualty for the year already and there’s sure to be more quickly. Lots of shows that have been sizzled for weeks during sporting fixtures about to drop, and we start to settle into some form or order. The week is looking fairly packed, though not everything is for everyone, independent of what the networks would have you believe. PVR’s at the ready… and GO!

They’ve both be pushed beyond belief – will Revenge for Ch7 and Alcatraz for Ch9 stack up against each other? Early glances suggest no – Revenge to stand head and shoulders above the sci-fi inspired Alcatraz, but that’s for the viewers to decide (and decide quickly, you will, mmm, yes).

He’s back, and he’s better than before – Sherlock season two returns to Ch9 this week. A spectacular story first out it picks up precisely where season one left off with Moriarty about to have them killed. Game. On.

Those looking forward to Earthflight may be disappointed to know that the series originally voiced in the UK by David Tennant is being revoiced for Australian audiences by Charles Wooley. Still, the visuals will be amazing.
