Tasty Taties! (July-August)

LITTLE BUGGERS

(Mon Aug 14, SBS – 1:30pm)

Despite the title, this has nothing to do with a certain Hollywood actor once married to an Australian starlet and is actually an excellent documentary about the insects and related arthropods we unknowingly entertain in our homes. And I thought I was alone in bed last night, save the male cast of LOST!

BROTHERS AND SISTERS

(Mon Aug 14, Seven – 9:30pm)

Things are heating up in this excellent drama about feuding fraternals and salacious siblings. Excellent, if a little self-loathing, gay character Kevin (Matthew Rhys) has not one, but three hot guys falling all over themselves to jump his bones. There’s long time lover Scotty, the sweet one; duplicitous soap actor Chas, the bad-boy, and the mysterious brother of Rob Lowe’s Senator character. Memo to Kevin: Why choose? Take all three!

PLAYING IT STRAIGHT

(Thurs Aug 16, Seven – 12:30am)

Repeat of the excellent reality TV show that tests both the contestants and the home viewer’s Gaydar. A single woman is marooned at an outback cattle station with 12 prime examples of hot Aussie Beef – six straight, and six gay guys feigning hettieness. She whittles down one a week until only her ideal man is left – if straight, they split a hundred grand and go honeymooning; if he’s queer, he gets all the money himself. I generally picked the poof about 80% of the time. And if Channel 7 sees fit to set me up with gorgeous gay dude Dane, I will gladly abandon my journalistic ethics at the drop of a (cowboy) hat…

SUBMARINERS

(Fri Aug 17, SBS -11:30pm)

Top documentary series that tells you everything you ever wanted to know about submarines, from how the crew goes to the bathroom and has showers (short answer: carefully) to why it’s never a good idea to have a nap in the torpedo tubes. I’ve always been fascinated by submarines… must be because they’re long, hard and full of seamen.
