North Coast NSW Television Guide
Wednesday March 14 to Tuesday March 20, 2012 1. Australian actor Rose Byrne discovers an old-fashioned device, called a ‘book’, in the British scifi thriller Sunshine (One HD, Saturday, 9.30pm). Apparently the sun can’t be bothered waiting around for another five million years and decides to start dying in 2057, which prompts Earth authorities to send an extremely goodlooking crew, like Rose, close to the sun to kickstart it with a large nuclear bomb – a sort of solar NRMA. It’s mostly about the psychological journey, because there’s plenty of time for angst on the way to the sun. The critics are divided on its worthiness but they like the costumes and SFX. 2. TV’s cuddly big bear Stephen Fry is the David Rabbitburrow of language in Fry’s Planet Word (ABC1, Sunday, 9.30pm), a series about the symbols and their meanings which keep the Echo drudges in lunch money. It follows the evolution of language and looks at little anomalies such as – fek! – Tourette’s syndrome. The show with local input, Miss Fisher’s Murder Mysteries, follows on at 10.30pm, loaded with good swing music and gorgeous frocks.
