Sunday, 11 March 2012

collection of game-changing and thought-provoking feature length
documentaries. We've done the work to bring you the best must-see
intelligent docos that are just 2 good to miss.
Put on your Sunday Best...
One year on: the Japanese tsunami through the eyes of its youngest survivors.
On March 11, 2011 Japan was hit by the greatest tsunami in a thousand years. Through compelling
testimony from 7-10-year-old survivors, the film reveals how the deadly wave and the Fukushima nuclear
accident have changed children's lives forever.
The story unfolds at two key locations: a primary school where 74 children were killed by the tsunami;
and a school close to the Fukushima nuclear plant, attended by children evacuated from the nuclear
exclusion zone.
Radiation and its possible long-term effects are a constant worry for parents and children who choose to
remain in Fukushima. Many parents have placed severe restrictions on where their children can go, how
they dress and what they can eat and drink.
“A tsunami is something that comes from deep within the sea. When it arrives it steals our lives, houses
and things precious to us.” - Reina, 10.
“The radiation has stuck to the leaves so we're told we can't go in the garden without a mask.”- Kosei, 8.

Louis Theroux's Weird Weekends: Off Broadway
Monday, 12 March 2012
Louis Theroux meets the real-life kids from Fame when he investigates
the world of off- Broadway theatre. As he immerses himself in the subculture of actors struggling to make it in New York, he discovers some of
the less-dignified jobs they take to make ends meet.
James Lorenzo, an actor who has been trying to make it in the business
for some 15 years, takes Louis to a photo shoot to start building the
essential portfolio of head-shots.
At his next stop,TVI, where acting is a business, actress Nicole Greenwood leads Louis through the process
of looking for acting work - and is brutally honest about his chances. Louis is gutted to be told he is
definitely not the leading-man type, but more of a character actor, and is dreading the audition he knows
he has to face. Louis says: "I decided to set my sights low and auditioned for a Norwegian cruise liner. It
was either that, or applying for a job as a dancing chocolate bar in Hershey, Pennsylvania."
To his horror, the cruise liner gig turned out to be a very desirable job, with talented performers at the
audition: "I humiliated myself utterly... it was my moment in the spotlight, and I basically had a panic
attack. I found it particularly humiliating as I can carry a tune and play the guitar.
"All in all, it was quite an eye opener. There's something both quite sad and quite funny about these
people's struggle - they're all desperately looking for an A-grade gig, aiming to be the next Tom Cruise
but, in the end, they're really happy to get a toothpaste ad."

The Tudors
Monday, 12 March 2012
Queen Katherine (Tamzin Merchant) is shocked by the King's orders that
she be confined to her apartments. The investigation into her past
moves with speed: Francis Dereham (Allen Leech) is arrested and
interrogated. Joan Bulmer (Catherine Steadman) is questioned, as is the
Dowager Duchess of Norfolk (Barbara Brennan), at whose home Joan
and Katherine lived as young women and where their immoral acts are
rumoured to have taken place. Dereham confesses that he and
Katherine Howard had planned to get married and that he knew her carnally before she became Queen a serious revelation, but not adultery.
Uncharacteristically, Henry (Jonathan Rhys Meyers) weeps when told of these discoveries. But his
response is unsentimental and swift: Katherine Howard is removed from Court and her title as Queen
withdrawn. Her pleas for understanding and forgiveness are coldly ignored but she knows she is lucky to
escape with her life.
Frances Dereham is brutally tortured as Lord Hertford (Max Brown) seeks to establish if Katherine
Howard committed adultery. Dereham denies the charge but points to Thomas Culpepper (Torrance
Coombs), who is promptly arrested. Furious that the betrayal was widely known, Henry isolates himself
from his Court. Betrayed, bruised but unbowed, the King gives a banquet, attended only by 26 beautiful
young women.

Green Wing
Tuesday, 13 March 2012
Statham (Mark Heap) is unusually cheerful, but it will end in tears.
Caroline (Tamsin Greig) is in tears as she decides it’s best for Mac (Julian
Rhind-Tutt) to be with Holly (Sally Phillips - Smack the Pony). She cheers
up by going on a date with the headband-wearing complementary
therapist, Jake Leaf (Darren Boyd - Smack the Pony).
Guy (Stephen Mangan) is green with envy and ever the patriot, stabs
Jake in the head with a Swiss Army knife. Later, Caroline calls Mac's answering machine to tell him she
thinks they made a mistake in ending their relationship. Holly deletes the message before he hears it.
Harriet (Olivia Colman) decides to dump Lyndon (Paterson Joseph) because she feels guilty about their
brief affair.
To combat Alan Statham's delirium over getting 100% of the 7 votes cast in a radiology caption
competition, Joanna (Pippa Haywood) recruits her dwarf cousin to scare him by painting him green and
getting him to jump from behind Alan's desk. Alan is petrified... and batters the dwarf to death with a
stuffed heron.
The wheels are about to fall off the hospitals’ beds for this gaggle of misfits.

America's Blue States are full of latte-sucking, Prius-driving liberal snobs.
The Red States are full of meth-addicted hillbillies who think the South is
gonna rise again. Which is the greater threat to society: wine tasting or
hog calling? The Forbes 400 or the Indy 500?
To decide, Paul F. Tompkins and Patton Oswalt square off in the court of
the Honourable Judge Lewis Black, the ultimate evaluator or evil.

Lily Allen: From Riches to Rags
Wednesday, 14 March 2012
Final
This isn't just another celebrity looking to play shopkeeper. Lily is genuinely looking to take her life in a
different direction. The stakes couldn't be higher. Will Lily's shop with step-sister Sarah Owen be another
Lily Allen hit?
In this final episode Lily and Sarah face the last few hurdles before opening the shop with a glittering
launch night. But the year ends in devastation for Lily.
It's August and Lily and Sarah have found the premises for Lucy in Disguise, but with just five weeks to go
before opening they are yet to move in and set up shop. With the layout and design to complete, a launch
party to arrange and stock to move, it's all hands on deck.
In the countdown to opening they consult Mary Portas again about the layout and hit a stumbling block
when the sisters disagree over whether to have the blow-dry bar they'd originally planned for extra
income.
Six hundred invites go out for the launch party and it's an emotional moment for Sarah when she sees the
finished shop for the first time.
Finally Lucy in Disguise is open and gets a rapturous reception from friends, family and the press. But
nothing could prepare Lily and her family for what came next.

Kitchen Cabinet: Julie Bishop
Wednesday, 14 March 2012
A half-hour entertainment series that serves up a delectable
combination of political discussion and good food. Each week one of
Australia's most respected political commentators - Annabel Crabb takes
a plate and leads us into the homes and hearts of some of our most
notable and engaging politicians.
Annabel sits down and talks food, recipes and carbon tax with MPs from
both sides of the fence. Food and politics are never separated for long. The best plots are hatched over
lunch. The best stories are told over dinner. In Canberra, dinner bookings are an anthropological study in
themselves. And the best way to get to know a politician is to break bread with one.
Kitchen Cabinet will deliver a refreshing human touch, as we watch our politicians drop their guard and
go about their daily life at home.
Deputy Leader of the Opposition Julie Bishop has survived three bloody leadership battles, in turn serving
Brendan Nelson, Malcolm Turnbull, and Tony Abbott. So what makes this Adelaide-born blue blood known for her famous ‘death stare’ - tick? Bishop discusses her childhood in the Adelaide Hills as the
daughter of fifth generation cherry farmers, through to her rise as a Perth-based corporate lawyer whose
political awakening was forged by WA Inc. Over risotto and rosé Bishop talks about her friendships across
the political divide, surviving embarrassing policy gaffes, and what it takes to outlast, out run and out
manoeuvre her opponents. She also confesses to some truly unusual jogging behaviour, and to having run
away, as a child, to join the Brownies.

US hipster-comedy Portlandia continues on ABC2.
Portlandia, created, written by, and starring Fred Armisen (Saturday
Night Live -SNL) and Carrie Brownstein (Wild Flag, Sleater-Kinney), is

political correctness is all the rage.
Armisen and Brownstein play an array of colourful and unique characters which include a militant bike
messenger; an artsy couple who attach cut-outs of birds to everything ("put a bird on it"); members of an
adult hide and seek league; self-righteous feminist bookstore owners; and a punk rock couple who use
the safe word to help govern their love life.
A variety of guest stars appear such as: Selma Blair (Legally Blonde, Hellboy); Heather Graham (The
Hangover); Steve Buscemi (Pulp Fiction, Boardwalk Empire); Kyle MacLachlan (Twin Peaks, Sex & The
City); Gus Van Sant (Milk); Aimee Mann; James Mercer (the Shins); Sarah McLachlan and local Portland

life. In each episode, Simon and his family congregate at Grandma's
house to catch up.
In episode four, Simon suffers a life crisis and is depressed. The situation is exacerbated when a guest he
