We’ve come to this: seeing as the Australian Open Tennis starts on Ch7 this week, pretty much every other network has offered them a lay down mozaire across the week with regard to their programming. So, it’s tennis, tennis, tennis or 10 episodes of The Big Bang Theory(?!?), or not a whole bunch else. These, people, are our darkest days.

One of the few highlights is Consiton, featuring on ABC1 Monday night. It’s the story of the last massacre of indigenous Australians, told by their descendants, and made by the same people who delivered us Bush Mechanics. It’s an important story very well told.

Next Stop Hollywood is an interesting series worth checking out – it focuses on 6 Aussies who headed to LA last year during pilot season to try to get their big break. It’s an emotional roller coaster.
