Thanks for the heads-up Bunny I shall watch that...
Repeat of SGU I missed it last night
too busy talking to you lot...
too busy talking to you lot...Did SGU's Women Get Lost In The Wrong Universe?
The men of Stargate Universe have been busy punching, exploring and saving lives using complicated math. Meanwhile the womenfolk have cried, drunk, got naked, and been used up sexually. Is SGU getting a little sexist? Fans certainly think so.
See Ya!

This series just keeps getting better. There's no shortage of beautiful footage - a galloping sengi (aka elephant shrew) is one of the stars tonight - but for me it comes alive when it's at its ugliest. Last week, the komodo-versus-water-buffalo encounter was gruesome, but it's equalled by this week's set-piece showdown between hyenas and lions. First, a pride of lions bully a lone hyena away from their kill, lashing out with their claws and snapping their blood-stained jaws. At this point you expect the hyena to slink away suitably chastened, but no, she calls her mates before returning mob-handed and taking on the lions. What follows isn't pretty. To call the look on the lions' faces "cheesed off", as the hyenas finally force them away, would just about cover it. It's one of many brilliant scenes. Mammals are the theme, starting with the marvellous Weddell seal of Antarctica (which has an oddly human-sounding call, like a drunken football fan shouting "Yay!") and progressing via reindeer, meerkats and elephants with poor parenting skills to the mating contest of the humpback whale - the most massive battle in all of nature.

Murderland: 2/3 - Hain's Story
In last week's RT, Robbie Coltrane claimed that Murderland is a notch above standard TV cop drama fare in that it's a "psychological drama" that owes much to Hitchcock and film noir. Well, maybe. And maybe Coltrane and writer David Pirie wanted to eschew the detective-drama conventions, but at its heart Murderland is very conventional with a very well-worn central premise (which I won't give away, but which you've probably already guessed). In fact, it's similar to, but not as good as, last year's Lucy Gannon drama The Children, which examined a murder through the different perspectives of those most directly involved. Murderland's victim is a prostitute, Sally (played by Lucy Cohu), whose body is discovered by her young daughter Carrie. Fifteen years on, Carrie (now Carol, and played by Amanda Hale) wants to solve the mystery of who killed her mother.

Glamour's Golden Age: 2/3 - Beautiful and Damned
Apparently, in the 1920s you could be famous simply for dressing up and attending every flash party going. Fancy! This is a divinely definitive guide to inter-war hedonism: full of fun and frothy archive clips but staffed by experts, furnishing us with every last detail about the clothing, the drugs, the gossip columnists, the epic japes, whether or not the film Bright Young Things is authentic (it is) and, indeed, exactly why young things were specifically given the adjective "bright". It's first-class cultural history - and Hermione Norris's narration is like bathing in milk.
