Merlin finishes up its series with a cliffhanger of sorts, yet a worthy ending to a show that went on one series too long.

Lots of great new programming drops out this week, with Upstairs Downstairs S02, Golden, Next Stop Hollywood & Dirty Business: How Mining Made Australia. Even Neighbours returns for it’s 29th(!) year.

There is some fun movies to be enjoyed this week, including more 80’s titles on GO!. Risky Business & Police Academy highlights there; elsewhere Die Hard, Jaws & Avatar.

Do not miss the stunningly hilarious Hannah Gadsby deliver her Warehouse Comedy Festival show “Mrs Chuckles” on Thursday night. Wonderfully understated comedy.
