SATURDAY

RAYMOND BLANC’S ROYAL KITCHEN GARDENS

SBS FOOD, 6.35pm

Perhaps one must be a celebrated chef for King Charles to grant you into his stunning kitchen gardens. Or maybe it’s all about being foodie with a focus on sustainability. Whatever that case, French chef Raymond Blanc (pictured) is both and was entrusted access to the most beautiful kitchen gardens in Britain, tended to by King Charles’ dedicated gardeners. In this picturesque series, Blanc visits ve royal kitchen gardens: Castle of Mey and Dumfries House in Scotland, Highgrove House and Hampton Court Palace in England and Hillsborough Castle in Northern Ireland.

FRIDAY, May 17

MONDAY 9 - 1 - 1

SEVEN, 9.05pm

This is certainly no shotgun wedding. After years of hiccups and anticipation, the wedding day of Maddie Buckley (Jennifer Love Hewitt, pictured) and Howard “Chimney” Han (Kenneth Choi) will nally happen, but it’s not what will have imagined. While the promos for “There Goes The Groom” promise wayward hijinks in the vein of Hangover, there are more than a few twists and turns to keep viewers on their toes. In truth, Choi stuns with a stellar performance that yanks on the heartstrings and will have pulses racing. Kicking o with a fun ’80s-themed bachelor party, Station 118 is soon in a desperate hunt for Chimney when he mysteriously disappears before the nuptials.

MONDAY MEL BUTTLE: LET ME KNOW EITHER

TEN, 9.40pm drama teacher Mel Buttle (pictured) has her audience in stitches without even uttering a pointed punchline. Known across social media for her hilarious and very relatable chatterbox suburban mum character called Lyn – who is actually based on her own mother –Buttle is keen observer who isn’t afraid to be a little controversial. From growing up in Ipswich where only mutt dogs live, to the uselessness of PE teachers, Buttle even critiques her own show as Lyn, calling it “crass”. In the uproarious closing moments, Buttle reveals her comical mettle by using her mother’s text messages as rap lyrics as hip-hop music blares. It’s laugh-out-loud fare.
