Sleuth 101: Performance Enhancing Death
Sunday, 4 April 2010
Dan Kinsman (Blair McDonough) has been thrown a
lifeline by his new footy club. He has been passing all
his drug tests and seems to be on a winning path again.
But during a training session he gets electrocuted on
the treadmill. Is detective Colin Lane fit enough to solve
this shocking murder?
The club room is crawling with suspects. Was his
teammate Cary (Nick Russell) ready to rub Dan out?
Maybe it was Cary’s impressionable girlfriend Rebecca
(Emily Taheny) wanting to teach Dan a lesson. Perhaps his ambitious manager Robbie (Alan
Brough) felt his time with Dan was over and that murder was his only way out. Or maybe his
caring coach Mick (Francis Greenslade) wasn’t so caring after all.

Cuckoo
Sunday, 4 April 2010
Monstrous murderer or merely misunderstood? Filmed
over two years, this program seeks to unravel the
secret and seemingly scandalous world of this
infamous bird.
This is one of those rare occasions where reality is
more amazing than folklore. The cuckoo has intrigued
and inspired people for thousands of years, with Greek
philosophers, poets and Shakespeare writing about
these birds and their dubious reputation. But what
separates the facts from the fiction?
Every April the cuckoo comes to Europe from Africa, with its arrival once celebrated in pagan
festivals. However, far removed from the seemingly idyllic ‘herald of spring’ image is the
cuckoo’s reputation regarding its unusual breeding tactics – it lays its eggs in another species’
nest, it murders the host’s chicks and it doesn’t even look after its own young. It is this
uniquely menacing approach to parenting that gives the cuckoo its notoriety.
The cuckoo has been known to parasitize more than 50 different species in Britain alone,
including reed warblers, dunnocks or meadow pipits. Each cuckoo specialises in matching its
eggs perfectly to those of a certain species, so that its eggs can remain in the host’s nest
undetected. But why is the subsequent chick tolerated, fed and raised in the nest, even when
the chick itself is several times larger than the host? This film unravels one of nature’s most
extraordinary stories.

Little Devil
Sunday, 4 April 2010
Oliver Crowe’s (Joseph Friend) parents Laura (Maggie
O’Neill) and Will (Robson Green) have been married for
20 years. They communicate fantastically, as they
argue all the time. But Laura is wondering if this is all
there is.
Will on the other hand, is absolutely devoted. His best
friend, Adrian, (James Wilby) is feckless, charming,
materialistic and successful and, in Laura’s frustrated
condition, irresistible.
When Will is confronted with news of the affair, sparks fly. A trial separation follows and
Oliver decides it’s up to him to get his parents back together. He thinks that if he is very, very
good, they will realise it is him who is causing them trouble, not their relationship, and get
back together.
But their on-again and off-again feelings confuse him.
It seems that it’s only when he’s really sick or really horrid, that his parents unite as a team. So
the worse he behaves, the more likely they will come together.

Compass: Private Life Of An Easter Masterpiece: The Taking Of Christ
Sunday, 4 April 2010
In 1993 the National Gallery of Ireland made a stunning
announcement: a lost painting by Caravaggio had been
discovered in Dublin. Compass: Private Life Of An
Easter Masterpiece: The Taking of Christ, tells the
story of this lost treasure.
The Taking of Christ, which represents Jesus Christ
being captured in the Garden of Gethsemane, was
well-known from copies. But the original had been lost
for over 200 years. Then in 1990 the Jesuit fathers at St
Ignatius, Dublin, called on the National Gallery to clean a painting that had been hanging in
their residence for nearly 60 years. The restorer immediately recognised the composition, but
what convinced the experts that this painting wasn’t just another copy? How had it got to
Ireland? And what happened over the years to cause its disappearance? This fascinating
program takes a closer look at the painting itself, reveals the details that identify the painting
as a Caravaggio and unearths how and why the painting remained undiscovered for so long.

Monday, 5 April 2010
Based on the classic children’s picture book written by
Julia Donaldson and illustrated by Axel Scheffler, The
Gruffalo is brought to life using a mix of model and CGI
animation.
The film tells the magical tale of a mouse who takes a
walk through the woods in search of a nut.
Encountering three predators that all wish to eat him -
a fox, an owl and a snake - the plucky mouse has to use
his wits to survive. He announces that he is meeting a
monster with terrible features, a ‘Gruffalo’, and the three predators are each panicked into
running away.
Mouse is now increasingly confident. That is until he rounds a corner and comes face to face
with the terrible creature of his imagination: the Gruffalo.
Narrated by actress Helena Bonham Carter (Alice in Wonderland), The Gruffalo was broadcast
on Christmas Day 2009 in the UK and was viewed by an impressive 8.8 million people.
The award-winning book celebrates its 10th anniversary this year with more than 4 million
copies sold worldwide.

Dead Gorgeous
Monday, 5 April 2010 New Series
Dead Gorgeous follows the comical adventures of
three beautiful, strong-willed teenage sisters Rebecca
(Melissa Howard), Sophie (Poppy Lee Friar) and Hazel
Ainsworth (Alexandra Coppinger) who just happen to
be ghosts!
When the three sisters died in a tragic coach accident
in 1861, alongside their beloved nanny Mildred, they
thought it was obviously some sort of cosmic ‘glitch’.
Taking matters into her own hands, Rebecca makes an application to the Ghost Council, the
high court of the afterlife, requesting them to return her and her sisters back to the world of
the living. But the afterlife is much like real life, bureaucracy is slow and forms get lost or
misfiled. For the sisters, the wait was 150 years, stuck in limbo.
Upon their return to the estate, the girls quickly realise their home has been turned into a
school. They now find themselves in a world unbeknown to them, and under the watchful eye
of their colourful, ghostly guardian – Agatha (Julie Eckersley). The sisters can stay under one
circumstance – no one is to find out their secret otherwise they will be sent back to the
afterlife.
Episode 1 - 150 Years Later - Monday April 5 at 5:20pm on ABC1, Tuesday April 13 at 8:00pm
on ABC3
The Ainsworth sisters Rebecca, Sophie and Hazel find themselves standing in their old home
as ghosts. They discover they can levitate, walk through walls and turn on lights without fire.
Episode 2 - Dying to Belong - Tuesday April 6 at 5:20pm on ABC1, Wednesday April 14 at

Talking Heads: Victor Bray
Monday, 5 April 2010
This week on Talking Heads, Peter Thompson’s guest is
an Australian legend. On the one hand, Victor Bray’s
gourmet tomatoes have been praised by Stephanie
Alexander and food writers, and on the other hand he’s
much loved by folk who like their cars to go 400
kilometres an hour.
“A family sedan might have 150 to 200 horsepower,
we've got three and a half thousand!”
Over 30 years this humble Queensland tomato farmer has built an international reputation in
drag racing. He has won the Australian Top Doorslammer Championship on six occasions and
previously set a world speed record in drag racing. Bray is so legendary that after he ran over a
fan with his insanely powerful beast, his victim just wanted to shake his hand.
“I went over the barriers and hit a few people… and one guy didn't get up. As I reached down
he sort of opened his eyes and started to come to. He looked at me and goes, ‘Victor Bray! I've
always wanted to meet you!’”
The whole Bray family is involved in the sport. Bray’s son, Ben, holds the record as the
youngest person in the world to win a professional drag event, and has three Australian drag
racing championships under his belt.
All this is a long way from the illegal street racing and secret nitro boosters that used to fuel
Bray’s weekends!
“I made them believe one thing when another was true, and then go and take them out of the
game…”

Britain From Above: 24 Hour Britain
Tuesday, 6 April 2010 New Series
Acclaimed journalist Andrew Marr goes on an epic
journey through one day in the life of Britain, as seen
from the skies. From helicopters, planes, hang gliders
and satellites he gives the big picture of a nation that is
constantly on the move.
Britain’s beautiful, often mysterious and endlessly
varied landscapes are seen from above. The camera
swoops over the towns and cities showing familiar and
less familiar buildings from a new angle. We meet the
people whose work takes them high above the cities and towns to monitor and manage the
many visible and invisible networks that keep everyone working, warm, fed and watered.
Episode One reveals the transformation of Britain’s most important city: her capital, London.
It is the story of a capital that has been transformed from a low-rise, smog-ridden industrial
city into an upwardly mobile, rapidly changing hub of leisure, retail and finance.

QI
Tuesday, 6 April 2010
Hosted by Stephen Fry, QI is the world’s most
impossible quiz. This week’s guests are Alan Davies,
Phill Jupitus, Sean Lock and Liza Tarbuck.
On the face of it, QI (short for Quite Interesting) is a TV
comedy panel game like any other. It has a chairman
(Stephen Fry) and four contestants, who are asked
questions and get points for their answers. But there
the resemblance ends.
The questions on QI are so difficult that the panellists almost never get one right. So the
chairman only gives points for interesting answers, regardless of whether they are correct, or
even relevant.
In theory, it is quite possible for the most ignorant person in the room to win the game. In
practice, this rarely happens. This is because the game is booby-trapped to the disastrous
disadvantage of people who believe everything they are told.
The chairman awards heavy penalties for wrong answers which are also ‘obvious’ – clichés,
misconceptions and ‘common wisdom’ – much of which is taught every day in school but is in
fact completely untrue.
The subject matter of QI is unique because it takes as its canvas not familiar material like the
news, sport, television and pop music but the entire universe.
QI’s Supreme Fiendish Question Master, Stephen Fry, wields autocratic power over the scores.
Stephen’s task is to gently encourage his guests to search for answers, avoid urban myths, and
reach deep into their comedic pockets to entertain us.
Permanently installed guest Alan Davies develops the intellectual counterpoint and, as
Stephen puts it, “rushes headlong like a puppy into the wall of ignorance.” Alan highlights,
with his inimitable comedy style, that there are no stupid questions. Only funny ones.

Poh's Kitchen
Wednesday, 7 April 2010
This week Poh’s Kitchen is all about losing yourself in
the rich and exotic spice combinations of Northern
India and the ancient korma recipes originally brought
to India by the Persian Mughals.
Poh has met trail-blazing Indian chef Ragini Dey at a
restaurant awards night where Ragini’s restaurant won
a national award for Best Indian Restaurant. And
naturally Poh has to invite Ragini back to her kitchen so
she can learn a few secrets of Indian cooking.
Before Ragini comes to Poh’s Kitchen, Poh goes to Ragini’s restaurant to have a look behind
the scenes.
Back in the kitchen, Poh prepares a Chicken and Pistachio Korma while Ragini makes Lamb,
Chickpea and Plum Korma. These two very different kormas share rich spice combinations
that fill the kitchen with the aromas of India dating back to 14th century. What Poh loves is
how easy both recipes are to make even though the list of spices had made it look difficult.
Once all the spices are simply roasted together the rest is easy!
Poh discovers that some of the best lentils in the world are grown right here in Australia. So,
they also make Lentil Parathas to accompany the kormas, along with a really surprising dish –
Tandoori Broccoli stuffed with homemade paneer cheese, nuts, fruit and yoghurt and usually
cooked in a tandoor oven.
Poh’s Kitchen will be repeated on ABC2 – Thursday, April 08 at 6:00pm

Grand Designs Revisited: Lambourn
Thursday, 8 April 2010 New Series
Kevin McCloud returns to the Lambourn Valley to catch
up with a couple who took three years to finish
building their home on the Berkshire Downs, and two
years recovering from the experience.
In May 2003, Kevin met Rupert and Julie Upton when
construction was about to begin on their highly-
individual, cross-shape house. Rupert and Julie put
everything they had into this experimental and
expensive design.
Without a fixed price, Rupert and Julie’s budget soon blew out, forcing them to make some
compromises to the green oak frame construction.
As September rolled around the 750 pieces of wood that make up the frame are built in just
seven days!
Just as the build was making progress and the autumn weather looming, a national fuel crisis
hit, delaying the construction by three weeks.
Two and a half years later Kevin returns to see how Rupert and Julie are getting along in their
new home.

Stress: Portrait Of A Killer
Thursday, 8 April 2010
Stress-related diseases are some of the biggest killers
in modern developed society, yet we know little about
their root cause. That all changes in this
unprecedented look at the revelatory science, based
on the latest research by pioneering scientists including
neurobiologist Robert Sapolsky, a professor at Stanford
University. For over a quarter of a century he has been
fascinated by why some people are crushed by stress
while others seem to thrive on it.
Sapolsky divides his time between his brain laboratory at Stanford and his fieldwork in the
Serengeti plains of East Africa. It turns out baboons provide an astonishingly close model to
humans - at least where stress is concerned. Like us, they only spend a few hours a day
satisfying their primary need - food - which leaves them at least three times that amount of
time to get on each other's nerves…again, just like us.
Sapolsky acts as a scientific detective, piecing together a fascinating case on how stress works
its deadly magic: first, how stress attacks cells, then how each individual reacts, and finally
how society impacts on stress.
Through his work and the work of several other pioneering scientists, including Michael
Marmot and Elizabeth Blackburn, we start to make the connection between stress and our
reaction to it, with amazing implications for how we choose to lead our lives.

Place Of Execution
Friday, 9 April 2010 Final
Based on the novel by award-winning author Val
McDermid, Place Of Execution is a taut psychological
thriller that explores, exposes and explodes the
borderline between reality and illusion in a multi-
layered narrative that turns expectations on their
heads.
On a freezing December night in 1963, the worst kind
of fear strikes the secluded Derbyshire hamlet of
Scardale. Thirteen-year-old Alison Carter has vanished
without a trace. Against all their instincts, the self sufficient villagers are reluctantly forced to
ask the outside world for help.
For newly-promoted Detective Inspector George Bennett, it’s the first chance to show his
bosses what he’s made of. But in spite of his dogged efforts, her disappearance remains a
mystery until he uncovers a piece of evidence that turns the investigation on its head and
leads him to the gruesome answer and the apparently incontrovertible evidence of Alison’s
violent death.
Starring Juliet Stevenson (Truly, Madly, Deeply and Bend it like Beckham), Lee Ingleby (The
Last Legion) and Greg Wise (Cranford)
In the final episode, Alison’s body has not been found but Hawkin is convicted of her rape and
murder and is hanged. He goes to the gallows claiming he’s a victim of other people’s lies.
While in the present day, Catherine is still convinced DI George Bennett wouldn’t fabricate
evidence, but she’s fired as her boss Keith vows to use her film to expose the famous
detective. Desperate to put an end to the secrets in Scardale, Catherine returns to the village
one more time. But what she uncovers there not only turns the Alison Carter case upside
down – it rocks the very foundations of Catherine’s own life.

The doc is taken hostage by a madman with a gun,

The peace of the village is shattered by an invasion of
tourists, eager for a sighting of a rare bird discovered nesting on Doc Martin's Aunt Joan's

ailing business by making it a new attraction.
Meanwhile, Doc Martin tries to head off a food contamination scare, continues to fumble his

receptionist, Pauline.
And his practice is threatened by an interfering doctor's friend who is gathering bad reports
from disgruntled patients.
Louisa's father, Terry, returns to the village after years away. He left under a cloud of

Blue Murder: Private Sins: Part 2
Saturday, 10 April 2010
In Private Sins: Part Two Louise Hogg (Saskia
Wickham), aware of the pressure Janine is under
juggling the role of DCI with that of a single parent,
encourages Janine to apply for promotion to DCS. It’s
more sociable hours and more money, but will Janine
give up the job and team she loves in order to spend
more time at home?
When the team talk to Camerton’s (Kieren O’Brien) ex-
wife, Sally Jowell (Heather Peace), it becomes clear
that all is not well and they suspect that Sally is the victim of domestic abuse again, this time
with her current husband, Derek (Brendan Coyle). Ex-copper Derek is now a cabbie and his cab
was seen near the site of Wilson’s murder.
Richard covers for Shap as long as he can and in a devastating twist, Shap finally admits that
Camerton is his half-brother and he thinks he knows the truth behind Camerton’s attack on
Sally and who killed Wilson and Tanya. The question is: can they convince Janine and can they
find enough evidence to bring in their suspected murderer? As the team finally gets to the
terrible truth, Janine must decide what to do next: does she go for the promotion or stay with
her team?
Stars Caroline Quentin, Nicholas Murchie, Belinda Everett, Ian Kelsey and Paul Loughran.

Art Nation
This week on Art Nation, Fenella Kernebone heads to Bendigo in Victoria to look at the
Australian Ballet’s Out There program which aims to introduce ballet to school kids around
Australia. Many primary school children in regional Australia have little or no exposure to the
art form and one of the Australian Ballet’s aims is to find new audiences for ballet.
Singer Henry Wagons, himself a lifelong fan of Queen, visits the Art Gallery of Ballarat to
review Queen – the Unseen Archive. Previously hosted by Proud Gallery in London, the
exhibition will feature an intimate photographic portrait of the legendary rock band Queen by
Peter Hince. This event expands on the London exhibition and will be the first time these
images have been brought together with Queen memorabilia.
Queen’s statements of pomp and grandeur continued throughout their career and it is
regarded as one of rock n roll’s most popular bands of all time. The extrovert leading the
charge was the awe-inspiring performer Freddie Mercury. His overt showmanship has
resonated with Wagons and many others and Mercury and his band continue to have a lasting
influence on popular music to this day.
Green may be the new black but just how environmentally friendly is Australian architecture?
Laboratory for Visionary Architecture (LAVA) has developed a simple, cost effective, easily
constructed skin for the University of Technology Broadway Tower in Sydney that promises to
transform an icon into a sustainable and stunning building.
To close the program, songwriter and lead singer of iconic Australian band Men At Work -
Colin Hay, returns to Australia to perform in the Art Nation studio.
Art Nation will be repeated on ABC2 – Sunday, April 04 at 7:00pm

First Tuesday Book Club With Jennifer Byrne
First Tuesday Book Club enters its 5th year with host Jennifer Byrne, and panellists Marieke
Hardy and Jason Steger exploring the world of books; from prize-winners to blockbusters, hot
off the press new releases to much loved classics.
This month the book club comes to us from the Adelaide Festival. The first special guest on
the panel is Markus Zusak, who is author of five novels, including The Messenger, and the
internationally bestselling The Book Thief, which by last count has been translated into over 30
languages.
The second guest is no stranger to our Book Club as her most recent book The Little Stranger
was discussed on the club late last year. Sarah Waters is also the author of the award winning
trilogy of sexy Victorian novels Tipping the Velvet, Affinity and Fingersmith.
The books discussed on this month’s club are:
Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson.
Originally published as a 'shilling shocker', Robert Louis Stevenson's dark psychological fantasy
became an immediate bestseller in the UK and America, giving us the idea of a split
personality and winning accolades from the academic community along the way.
Solar by Ian McEwan.
The latest novel from Ian McEwan, Solar is a dark satirical novel focusing on climate change
and one man's ambitions and self-deceptions.
First Tuesday Book Club With Jennifer Byrne will be repeated on ABC2 – Sunday, April 11 at

The New Inventors
Hosted by James O’Loghlin, The New Inventors is home to the best and brightest minds in
Australia, combining creativity and skill to craft the inventions we all wish we’d thought of.
Deciding the winner of these three inventions are: engineer James Bradfield Moody, inventor and
designer Sally Dominguez, and futurist and author Mark Pesce. Inventions featured on the
program:
GREEN POD – by inventors Mark Rossiter and Tim Ceolin from QLD
There are lots of great reasons to commute to work by bicycle. It's great exercise, wonderful for
the environment, you can save heaps of money, and even avoid traffic jams so you can actually get
to work on time! Yet bicycles are not commonly used for day to day transport in Australia. One of
the many excuses used to avoid ditching the car for a bicycle is that most workplaces don’t have
appropriate facilities for people to shower on arrival. The employers say they can’t afford to build
new bathrooms and bike racks. And it isn't a good look showing up for work red-faced and covered
in sweat. Mark Rossiter, just 25 years old, was studying in France when he caught the cycling bug.
When he returned to Australia he began to think about all the obstacles that have prevented
cycling from becoming as mainstream in Australia, and with the help of his architect friend Tim
Ceolin, 24, they set about removing some of these barriers.
The Green Pod is a self-contained module that allows bicycle riders to shower and change at work.
All the plumbing and electrical elements are built in and ready to go, while the different
configurations allow up to two showers, two change rooms and 28 lockers, all in the size of a car
parking space. The unit is architecturally designed to maximise the use of space. If it is installed
outdoors it can even incorporate solar panels for power. The Pod utilises an innovative self
cleaning system which ensures users enjoy a high standard of sanitation without the cost of daily
cleaning.
SILK CANVAS – by inventors Evette Morgan and Diane Giusa from NSW
Painting on silk requires normal paints to be mixed with a special fabric medium before being
applied to the silk. Otherwise the colours will bleed into each other. Primers that are used to
prepare a canvas are all specific to one medium. With the Silk Canvas you can apply any
combination of paint mediums, be it oils, acrylics, watercolours, dyes and even ink, and they won’t
bleed. The invention is a layered material that is acid free, providing long durability for an artwork,
whilst adding volume and brightness.
D DRIVE – by inventor Stephen Durnin from QLD
All engines have an optimum speed at which they are most efficient. Conventional and automatic
transmissions don’t allow car and truck engines to operate at their peak efficiency. Every time you
change gears you are wasting fuel. D Drive is an infinitely variable geared transmission, which
allows an engine to operate at its most efficient setting whilst enabling the vehicle speed to be
continuously varied to suit driving conditions.

Catalyst
LIDAR
Most of the world’s climate scientists are studying changes close to earth in the troposphere
or a little further out in the stratosphere, but researchers in Antarctica have been looking
more than 50 kilometres above the earth’s surface, where the Southern Lights, or Southern
Aurora, phenomenon occurs. The researchers have been observing how, paradoxically, as
greenhouse emissions heat the lower atmosphere they cause the upper atmosphere to cool.
Mark Horstman visits a small hut on the edge of Antarctica to take a look at the light detection
and ranging equipment, LIDAR, that is collecting crucial climate change data and building a
stunning picture of the mysterious noctilucent clouds in the mesosphere.
Stem Cell Ethics
Using human embryos for stem cell research has long been a controversial issue but a recent
breakthrough has put a new complexion on the debate. Since a Japanese scientist first
developed a new kind of cell, IPS or Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells, it has been speculated
that the need to use human embryos for stem cell therapies might be eliminated.
Researchers believe there is much to be gained from using the thousands of surplus IVF
embryos sitting in storage across Australia. While it is legal to use these leftover embryos for
research purposes, does using them reduce human life to a commodity?
Dr Maryanne Demasi explores whether the new discoveries could end the debate for good.
Follow the Leader
Is it best to be an individual and act on your own or is it better to follow the pack? It’s a
question for all social animals from sheep to horses, fish to birds – even for humans - and it’s a
question of survival. But, just how do large assemblies of animals manage to make efficient
decisions?
Ruben Meerman takes a look at some Sydney University research that’s seeing what tiny
mosquito fish can teach us about the bigger picture of making group decisions.
Fundamentals with Bernie Hobbs – Precious Metals
What puts the precious into precious metals? Bernie Hobbs shines her ‘Fundamental’ spotlight
on the treasures of the periodic table to find out why the glitter of gold is so preciously
proverbial.
