MORE THAN ENOUGH ROPE- MIRIAM MARGOLYES (Mon June 2, ABC-9:35pm)

HOW TO LOOK GOOD NAKED (Mon June 2, Ten-8pm)
QUEER EYE alumni (the bitchy blond one) Carson Kressley returns to spit more venom than the Queen Xenomorph in ALIENS as he teaches us how we can look at ourselves and our partners naked in a mirror without calling the Ghostbusters. If only the show had gone for QUEER EYE co-star Kyan Douglas and gotten him to present the show naked.

DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES (Mon June 9, Seven-8:30pm)
Blink and you may miss Wisteria Lane’s gay couple who appear for a few seconds so that the producers can count on us Queers to keep on watching the show, which increasingly focuses on Terri Hatcher’s continued transformation into a human Chubba-Chup. I suspect that the gay couple’s original surname was ‘The Tokens’.

THE GRUEN TRANSFER (Wed June 11, ABC-9pm)
While the title suggests a boring Political Thriller/John Grisham novel (‘Matt Damon IS Gregg Gruen!’), it is actually a comedic doco series about the lengths advertising companies go to separate you from your pink dollar. It is especially great to see spunky, theoretically-bisexual host Wil Anderson back on screen after John Howard shattered THE GLASS HOUSE.

THE CATHERINE TATE SHOW (Wed June 25, ABC-9:30pm)
Currently starring opposite Tenth Doctor David Tennant as the formidable Companion Donna in the fourth series of DOCTOR WHO (due here around August), Catherine Tate also stars in this superb, hilarious, gay-inclusive cult sketch show. Tate plays a wide array of characters – male and female, young and old, gay and straight – under enough latex to contain even Jason Priestley’s legendary endowment.
