WICKED WEDGES
FEMALE AGENTS (Sat Mar 5, SBS- 10pm)
A group of female resistance fighters recruited by Britain rescue a scientist with vital knowledge of Normandy and assassinate a top-ranking Nazi, all to safeguard D-Day. This is a great French film.
SOS (Sat Mar 5, SBS- Midnight)
Interesting and eclectic bunch of short Queer films from around the world, including: Kaveri- in which a young guy is bored with predictable sex with women until a male friend, er, lends a hand; Vibracall- in which two women discover just how awesome hands-free technology can be; and Scripts Against Discrimination: Dirty Slapping- an educational short made specifically to address the recent suicide of gay youth in American schools.
DAVID ATTENBOROUGH: FIRST LIFE (Sun Mar 6, ABC-7:30pm)

MODERN FAMILY (Sun Mar 13, Ten- 7:30pm)
Hit US sitcom that includes gay couple Cameron and Mitchell and their adopted Korean daughter, who are shown as just another facet of the typical family unit. This season features support from gob-smackingly beautiful James Marsden as Cameron and Mitchell’s perennially shirtless neighbour.
XENA: WARRIOR PRINCESS (Tues Mar 21, 7TWO- 3am)
She’s baa-aack! Even in repeat and an hour that duplicitous war god Ares would find unsporting. Lucy Lawless’ ferociously awesome Amazon Xena and her early sidekick and blatant love-interest Gabrielle were kicking ass and taking names all over ancient New Zealand before the guys with hairy feet and pointy ears made it cool.
LIFE AFTER PEOPLE (Thurs Mar 23, 7MATE- 7:30pm)
Intriguing science faction documentary series which uses computer animation and input from futurists and architects to examine how the Earth would cope if humans literally disappeared.
STALE CHIPS
SH*T MY DAD SAYS (Mon Mar 20, Nine-8pm)
Everything you need to know about this useless sitcom can be summed up by three facts – firstly, it is based on a Twitter Account; secondly, the shtick of the program is that the elderly Dad comes up with hilarious politically incorrect statements, that may also be taken as racist, sexist and homophobic; and thirdly, over-rated hack William Shatner plays the dad.
BENNY HINN (Thurs Mar 24, Ten-3:30am)
Why do Ten insist on punishing insomniacs by constantly airing this American Televangelist in the wee small hours? Isn’t the lack of sleep they have to go through torment enough?!
