This week...

My waistline may not be thanking me, but my taste buds certainly are as, this week, our cover story is all about the best international cuisine in Newcastle.

With everything from Italian, Chinese and Mexican to Ethiopian, Japanese and even Nepalese, we are certainly spoilt for choice when it comes to flavours from far flung corners of the globe.

A big boost for start-ups Program to grow local businesses

A creepy crawly reminder Maryland teen’s brush with a redback

Giving back an easy choice Local aid organisation needs your help

Diamonds in the rough Hunter Academy’s netball squad named

Regulars

While we have barely scratched the surface of what’s on offer, here in Newcastle (also the myriad options throughout Lake Macquarie, Port Stephens and the Hunter Valley, but that’s a story – or stories – for future editions), we hope that we’ve given you a pretty good starting point to begin your international culinary adventure in Newcastle.

The fact that this list was the topic of much debate in the Newcastle Weekly office, and that it was also one of the hardest I’ve ever had to compile, is testament to the depth of culinary talent we have in our fair city – talent that could rival some of the best kitchens in the country. Yet another reason to be enormously proud of our neck of the woods.

Make sure you turn to page 28 to whet your appetite for some great food.

I’m getting hungry just writing about it.

Boost for start-ups new initiative to grow fledgling businesses in the region has gone live.

Charlestown co-work space Dantia Smart Hub (DaSH) launched its I2N Incubator @ DaSH program

last week, which will give local entrepreneurs a head start on building a business.

Ordinarily, business owners who can’t afford a commercial lease pay a monthly membership

European European & Australian & Australian

&&lighting lighting

of $450 for a ‘full-time desk’ in the open, co-work setting.

However, under the I2N Incubator @ DaSH program, memberships will be subsidised by 50% for eligible participants, reducing the cost of a monthly membership to $225.

The funding comes from the University of Newcastle, which is able to do so with support from the state government’s Boosting Business Innovation Program.

As well as reduced membership costs, the program offers mentorship by successful entrepreneurs, workshops and networking opportunities.

Eligible entrepreneurs can participate in the program for up to six months.

DaSH community manager Harry Balding said the program was about supporting early-stage

start-ups with big ambitions.

“The entrepreneurs behind these start-ups are our future employers, business leaders and role models,” he said.

“If Steve Jobs grew up in the Hunter five years ago, he would have left for Sydney. We don’t want the Steve Jobs’ of the future leaving our region when they can actually do what they want to do from right here.”

DaSH is an offshoot of Lake Macquarie economic development company Dantia, which exists to drive jobs growth in the region.

The DaSH co-work space was established in Ridley Street, Charlestown nine months ago.

For more information on the I2N Incubator @ DaSH program, email info@dashcowork.com or phone Harry Balding on 0411 348 439.

news Shadow Minister for the Hunter Kate Washington; Member for Charlestown Jodie Harrison; Newcastle Lord Mayor Nuatali Nelmes; Leader of the Opposition Luke Foley; Newcastle councillor Jason Dunn; Member for Newcastle Tim Crakanthorp; and Member for Maitland Jenny Aitchison.

Old issues, new ground Much has transpired over the past week on some of the Hunter’s hotbutton topics.

In light of newly-appointed NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian’s cabinet shake-up, Hunter MPs have taken the opportunity to question the government’s direction on council mergers and

10

school maintenance backlogs.

Leader of the Opposition Luke Foley was in town, last Thursday, to join them in their chorus.

The same day, leaked cabinet documents revealed the government was considering abandoning forced council amalgamations across the state

including in Newcastle, Port Stephens, Maitland and Dungog.

Merger proposals were first announced more than 12 months ago under the Fit for the Future reform. Twenty new councils have already been created across the state, but another 11 mergers are still pending – some of which are being challenged in court.

Ms Berejiklian told Newcastle Weekly the government was reviewing some of the issues surrounding this complex reform, and she “won’t be ruling anything in or out at this stage”. However, if the leaked documents are anything to go by, plebiscites – whereby residents vote on the issue of forced mergers – could be on the cards.

Leader of the Opposition, Luke Foley, said the Fit for the Future reform was a “rotten, hated policy”.

Also on Thursday, Mr Foley made a doorstop at Maitland Grossman High School to discuss the Hunter’s school maintenance backlog, which stands at $105,653,323. The top three most neglected schools in the region are Hunter Sports High, Rutherford High and Maitland High, which have a combined backlog of $5,929,606.

Shadow Minister for the Hunter, Kate Washington, said the deficits were for basic things like heaters, taps, paint and carpet. But Ms Berejiklian assures the Hunter it won’t be overlooked.

“This government has invested more than six billion dollars in capital expenditure in the Hunter since 2011, and we will continue to work hard to revitalise the region,” she said.

news Will Green with the redback spider that bit him on the ear. Photo: Peter Stoop

Spider bite gives teen quite a fright If nothing else, Maryland teen Will Green returned to school, last week, with a gnarly story and an impressive souvenir.

Spending his summer holidays outdoors, as any other Australian kid would, thirteen-year-old Will

pulled on a motorbike helmet to go for a ride one day, when, about half an hour later, he started experiencing excruciating pain in his left ear.

Mum Stephanie Graham thought Will had just bent his ear,

but when she asked her husband, Neale, to inspect the motorbike helmet, he found a redback spider nestled inside the lining.

Evidently, it had bitten Will’s ear.

“We’d just had the house sprayed [for spiders], and the helmet was inside,” Mrs Graham said.

“We always check things like bikes and shoes. I myself have never thought to check a helmet, but we always will now.”

Will was admitted to John Hunter Hospital, where he spent five days enduring the effect of the spider’s venom.

Doctors reportedly said Will’s reaction was severe, and toxicology reports showed a large amount of venom in his blood stream.

He suffered pain in his feet and pelvis, sweats, vomiting and restless nights.

In the end, doctors had to sedate Will and administer heavy painkillers.

Mrs Graham said doctors advised her they rarely administered anti-venom, as it was best to let the poison run its course.

“It was probably the worst thing we’ve ever witnessed,” Mrs Graham said.

“It was just awful to see him in so much pain.

“I’d hate to see what it would do to a small child.”

Will’s unfortunate spider encounter is a timely reminder to all to check for spiders in and around the home, especially when using outdoor equipment.

If you think you or a family member has been bitten by a spider, seek first aid immediately.

One-hundred-and-fifty homes and businesses in Rutherford and Aberglasslyn are reportedly still without connection to the National Broadband Network (NBN), six months after those suburbs went live.

Member for Paterson Meryl Swanson said she had repeatedly contacted NBN Co on behalf of her constituents, many of whom had reached out to her in frustration. She called upon NBN Co to explain the delay.

“Some [residents] are sharing an ADSL connection between four or five family members, meaning they struggle to use their connection at the same time,” Ms Swanson said.

“This is ludicrous, considering their neighbours are able to access the NBN.” Ms Swanson said NBN Co had advised residents and

Westpac Rescue Helicopter Service chief executive officer Richard Jones.

Putting other people first has been Richard Jones’ life work.

Richard celebrated 21 years with the Westpac Rescue Helicopter Service last November, so it was only apt that he made the Australia Day 2017 Honours list for service to the Hunter community.

He said it was “very humbling” to receive a Medal of the Order of Australia (OAM) in the General Division.

Richard joined the rescue helicopter service in 1995 as the general manager.

He climbed the ranks and became chief executive officer – a position he still holds today.

While Richard has never flown an aircraft, being in a management position, his role is to oversee all faculties of the service, from engineering to marketing.

“I don’t fly [the aircraft], but I have damn good people who do,” he said.

Between its Broadmeadow and Tamworth bases, the service has about 60 full-time employees, and “hundreds and hundreds” of volunteers, all of whom made the job special, Richard said.

“It’s quite remarkable, actually [to be part of the service],” he said.

“The work that we do helps people in need.”

Giving back an easy choice

Wills and Estates: ask a real Specialist Take advantage of our free Contested Estates seminar at our offices on Thursday 16 February at 5.30 pm

It’s not the tourist attractions that keep John and Narelle Cassey coming back to Vietnam and Vanuatu, nor the food, but the people.

To date, the Kotara South couple has taken about 30 trips overseas to donate medical and educational aid to the developing countries.

On paper, John and Narelle have been coordinating aid through their DFAT-gazetted organisation, Medical & Educational Sustainable Community Help (MESCH), since 2010, but they have been giving up their time and effort to help others since 2009.

That year, John, a paediatric surgeon, visited Da Lat in Vietnam’s Central Highlands with local anaesthetist Mich Poppinghaus to educate doctors at the local Lam Dong Hospital.

While abroad, Narelle busied herself helping out at a local children’s home. When the time came to go home, Narelle said she knew they’d be back again. “[The locals] don’t want you to go,” she said.

“But at the same time, they don’t expect you to come back, because that’s how overseas aid works a lot of the time. Our decision to go back time and time again is guided by the people.”

Since then, John has returned with Mich, as well as another anaesthetist named Peter Armstrong, and theatre nurses Amelia Han and Sandy Graham, to continue the great work they started.

Their latest project involves educating doctors on trauma response.

Narelle still works with children, and teaches English to visually-impaired masseuses.

Four years ago John and Narelle established a secondary project in Vanuatu to teach women how to sew. Two-and-a-half years ago, that project made a profit.

Some of MESCH’s missions are funded by the organisation, but much of it comes out of volunteers’ pockets.

MESCH cannot carry out the work it does without the community’s support, which has prompted John and Narelle to reach out to Newcastle Weekly readers.

Although monetary donations are welcomed, John says in-kind support makes a huge difference.

Visit mesch.org.au; facebook.com/pg/mesch.ngo; or email info@mesch.org.au to find out how you can help.

Culturally appropriate support for Aboriginal people

Bounce back against car theft With Lake Macquarie currently ranked fourth in the state for short-term motor vehicle thefts, the council is hoping to reduce the number of thefts through Operation Bounce Back.

An initiative of the National Motor Vehicle Theft Reduction Council, Operation Bounce Back aims to raise awareness and reduce complacency when it comes to motor vehicle thefts.

“There were 483 vehicle thefts recorded in Lake Macquarie last year, with more than 60 per cent

Have your say on Maitland sport facility

Lifeline Hunter Central Coast staff last week participated in a new cultural awareness and transformative practice workshop facilitated by Dr Bob Morgan, an adjunct Professor at the University of Newcastle’s Wollotuka Institute.

Lifeline CEO Gillian Summers did the program with her team and said it was life changing.

“The workshop is part of our ongoing staff training to ensure our services are culturally appropriate and welcoming for Aboriginal people,” Gillian said.

“The day was transformational and I’d recommend it to other organisations,” she said.

“We all enjoyed the traditional dance and fire circle chat to learn more about Aboriginal cultures too.”

The training is run by The Glen - the Central Coast’s only drug and alcohol centre for men. Lifeline is a friend of the centre.

The two organisations are exploring further opportunities to work together including Lifeline providing its face to face counselling services and anger management course to The Glen residents and families.

Almost twice as many Aboriginal people die by suicide as non-Indigenous Australians.

“At Lifeline we form partnerships to give the entire community the best possible suicide prevention services.”

Maitland residents are encouraged to have their say on the redevelopment of No.2 Sportsground and Smyth Field, including the construction of a $10.5 million athletics facility.

Council has developed a draft site plan for the complex which includes the radio-controlled car facility, skate park, outdoor fitness equipment, car parking, picnic tables, toilets, pathways and vegetation. To make a submission, visit maitlandyoursay.com.au by Friday 17 February.

sport Diamonds in the rough Thirty-six of the Hunter and Manning Valley’s most promising young netballers have been named in the 2017 Hunter Academy of Sport Greater Netball Squad.

The squad boasts eight players from Newcastle; 13 from Lake Macquarie; five each from Maitland and the Mid Coast (Manning); one from Port Stephens, Singleton and Cessnock respectively; and two from Muswellbrook.

Plain sailing for a great cause With Lakefest, Lake Macquarie’s celebration of all things aquatic, just around the corner, one of the major drawcards will be the popular Heaven Can Wait Regatta.

The regatta aims to raise funds for the Cancer Council’s Home Help Program which provides domestic support to cancer patients recovering from treatment.

Organised by the Toronto Royal Motor Yacht Club, the regatta will feature a variety of events, including a gruelling 24-hour race.

Now in le t Newcas

The event is the brainchild of keen sailor and cancer survivor Shaun Lewicki who said the regatta has grown from strength to strength since its inception.

“Now for the third consecutive year, the race has enabled over 200 families affected by cancer to receive in-home support,” he said.

The regatta is on from Friday 17 February to Sunday 19 February as part of Lakefest.

Visit heavencanwait.com.au or lakefest.com.au

As part of the elite program, conducted by the Hunter Academy of Sport, players receive court skills training, fitness and athlete education under head coach Maria Hoad.

The aim is to prepare the athletes for state selection, so they can realise their dreams to play netball at a representative level.

Hunter Academy of Sport chief executive officer Brett O’Farrell said it was a quality program.

Hunter Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery Centre advertising moment

Oral cancer - recognise the warning signs Associate Professor Gary Hoffman of Hunter Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Centre, Broadmeadow undertook four years accredited training in the United Kingdom in general oral and maxillofacial surgery, with a particular emphasis in head and neck cancer surgery.

Contact details Hunter Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery Centre Address: 18 Lambton Road, Broadmeadow Phone: 4962 4343 Website: hunteroms.com.au

Oral cancers are mostly identified by the family dentist or doctor. Once recognised, such patients are often referred to an oral and maxillofacial surgeon and then to a head and neck multi-disciplinary clinic.

“Oral cancer is one of the major cancers in Australia and can be exacerbated by consuming alcohol or cigarettes,” Professor Hoffman said.

He added that there are around 2,000 new cases of mouth cancer diagnosed in Australia annually. Predominantly, they affect older males (75 %) with a life-time exposure to tobacco and alcohol. In recent years, HPV (Human Papilloma Virus) infection has been associated with an emerging group of younger cancer patients.

Some of the early warning signs and symptoms of oral cancer include the following: • Non-healing persistent ulcers, lumps and red/white patches • Jaw or face swelling • Loose teeth • Numb lips or chin • Restricted jaw opening

• Difficulty with or pain while chewing, speaking, or swallowing • Hoarse voice • Unexplained ear-ache • Facial droop or facial numbness.

Oral cancer is often not associated with pain. Therefore, it is important to be aware of changes in your mouth, and do not ignore any lumps or sores. If you are unsure, please contact the team at Hunter Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Centre for more information.

Hunter Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Centre strives to provide the highest-quality oral and maxillofacial surgical care, so you can benefit from a healthy and functional mouth for the long-term. Surgical staff are experienced oral and maxillofacial surgical assistants and all staff are CPR certified.

LOVE IN THE TIME OF INSTAGRAM After seven novels, pre-release jitters still plague Newcastle-based author Wendy James, but nowhere near as much as novel number one.

“It is such a long process, writing a novel, and it is always quite nerve- wracking, just before you put it out into the world, but I think now I’m becoming a bit more used to it – I guess I’m not as concerned with what people think. Its more about going with your gut.”

Wendy has just released her seventh book The Golden Child - an intimate and, at times heartbreaking portrayal of parenting in the digital age, and all of the pitfalls that come with it.

The story follows Beth – wife, mother and blogger who seemingly has it all. When one of her children is accused of cyber-bullying, both families are swept into unfamiliar territory and the protagonist is faced with the question “how well do you really know your child?”

“There’s no denying that, in this day and age, kids to have a life that’s hidden from their parents

– I mean I have daughters and I know one of them has two Instagram accounts, one I can see and one I can’t. It is these mysterious other lives and the way they work in a family context, and also the pressures that are being placed on kids in the cyber age, that really fascinated me,” Wendy said.

“The initial inspiration was the novel We Need to Talk About Kevin by Lionel Shriver – which was about the ambivalence of a mother toward her son. I wanted to explore a character that expressed the opposite of ambivalence to her children and what would happen when, I guess, bad children happen to good mothers.”

With seven novels under her belt, James said while there is a lot more comfortability with her process now, starting a new novel was always an exciting adventure.

“Most writers will tell you, when they start a new book, be it their second or 22nd, you just never know where it’s going to take you. It’s quite an exciting adventure.”

Tracey Ullman’s Show giveaway

A MIXTAPE FOR NEWIE If you’ve visited venues like the Small Ballroom, The Lass O’Gowrie or the Hamilton Station Hotel of late, you may’ve noticed a lot more top-quality local bands doing their thing.

To help chronicle this recent resurgence, local muso and scene chronicler Spencer Scott has released a free online mixtape to help promote the best new Newcastle music to the world.

Newcastle’s Spencer Scott wants the world to know about our top-quality music.

More Than Steel and Coal Volume One features 11 tracks from some of the best acts this town has to offer, including Lachlan X Morris, Paper Thin, Jen Buxton, Raave Tapes, Adeline Pines and Rachael Maria Cox. “In my opinion, the Newcastle music scene has had a bit of a resurgence and I wanted to represent that in some way,” Spencer said.

“It’s a great platform for the bands to get their names out there and every band that shares it passes that good will to all the bands on the mixtape so, everyone wins.”

With Volume One already stirring up quite a bit of attention since its release, Spencer added that more volumes were in the works as well as an expansion of the More Than Steel and Coal concept.

“Over the next few months I want to expand the idea to promote more of the history of the scene to include bands that are now defunct,” he said.

More Than Steel and Coal is out now as a free download on Bandcamp.

INTERNATIONAL FLAVOURS One of the advantages of living in a multicultural city, is the great international flavours we have access to. Stephen Bisset cast his eye on some of the best international flavours Newcastle has to offer. Bon appetit.

Heng Loong Restaurant – 67 Cowper Street, Wallsend.

4951 5000 Having dined at Heng Loong several times over the past five years, the thing that sticks out is consistency. Fans of classic Chinese fare are well catered for, with the likes of a melt-in-themouth Mongolian beef and one of the best examples of honey chicken I’ve ever tasted, while chef specials

Sapphire Indian’s (left clockwise) Karahi Paneer, Garlic Naan, Kadhai Chicken, Chooza Tikka, Zeere Rice and Handi Lamb.

like Mary’s Treasure Basket – scallops, prawns, fish and calamari cooked with a spicy sauce and served in a noodle bird nest – will keep you coming back.

vegetarian quark patties and German sausage, to apple strudel, German cheesecakes and some of the best shortbreads you’re ever likely to taste, Oma’s menu is full of flavour and character. If you’re looking to be blown away, try the signature pork knuckle – you won’t be disappointed.

Oma’s Kitchen – 16 Watt Street, Newcastle. 4927 5151 The flavours of Bavaria shine in this unassuming café/restaurant in Watt Street. From marinated pork steaks, wiener schnitzels, goulash,

Foghorn Brewhouse – 218 King Street, Newcastle. 4929 4721 Newcastle’s fascination with USinspired cuisine has really taken off over the last couple of years and one of the finest exponents of Stateside fare is Foghorn Brewhouse. Aside from an eclectic range of house-made craft beers, Foghorn also offers up a menu that features pizzas, burgers, Philly cheesesteaks, brownies and the classic New York strip steak.

Oma’s Kitchen’s pork knuckle, served on a bed of mash potato and red cabbage, with house gravy.

Raja’s Indian in Hamilton and the Grand Pavilion in Warner’s Bay also serving up great Indian cuisine. For me though, it is Sapphire’s tandoori prawns – black tiger prawns marinated in yoghurt with myriad herbs and spices and its moreish chicken saag – boneless chicken cooked with herbs and a spinach puree, that put this restaurant on the list.

Arrivederci Italian Restaurant – 53 Glebe Road, Merewether.

4963 1036.

When it comes to restaurant institutions in Newcastle, Arrivederci in the Junction is pretty high at the top of the tree.

This is classic Italian done right with iconic dishes like cacciatore, scallopini and marsala striking the perfect balance between creaminess and flavour. Of course, if pizza is your thing, Arrivederci offers up 18 selections – all delicious.

Fee added that, given that many of the children enrolled were repeat customers, it was a tacit acknowledgement that she was on the right track with the program.

“We’ve actually got two that are now support teaching with us and two 12-year-olds that are now working here, two hours a week, which is just fantastic.”

It’s not just about the kids at Art Mania either, with programs such as glass fusing and leadlight/ stained glass.

Cracks in the walls of your home could be a sign of foundation damage.

We are the region’s largest stockist of hand carved Volcanic Green Lava Stone statues.

We have meditating Buddhas, Monks and Dewi Goddess water features.

KEEP AN EYE ON CRACKS Off the back of extreme heatwave conditions this summer, ground engineering firm Mainmark has reminded homeowners to pay close attention to cracks in the walls of their home.

The hot, dry weather we have been experiencing changes moisture levels in the soil, causing it to contract and expand.

This can result in cracked walls and uneven floors, which are likely signs a home is suffering from foundation subsidence, according to Mainmark’s James O’Grady.

Tree roots can also be a cause for concern. In drought conditions where soil moisture levels are low, trees send out extensive root systems in search for water, and invasive roots may disrupt the level of a house.

While some movement is normal, homeowners should look for cracks in walls, as this is often and indication of foundation damage.

If they don’t close up over time, or open up beyond widths of 5 millimetres, there may be a more serious underlying problem and homeowners should seek expert advice.

We are also taking orders now, for furniture and water features, to arrive in our next container.

So if you’re looking for something unique for your garden, call and visit the region’s leading Bail product importer.

Congratulations to Charly Willard By liking and sharing our Facebook page you have won an Island Jade kaftan

In a world fuelled by fast fashion, keeping clothing production local and ethical is a challenge many fashion designers face.

But for one designer in particular, it’s her guiding principle.

Hamilton East fashion designer and mum-to-be Renee Verdon, who runs the Newcastle-based clothing label VOUS, is meticulous about where she sources her materials, how her garments are produced, and where they are stocked.

“The ethics behind my brand is important,” she said.

Using mainly natural fibres like linen and silk, Renee alone does the pattern-making, grading and sampling for her bi-annual spring/ summer and autumn/winter collections, which takes about three months.

“People don’t realise how much work goes into it,” she said.

Renee has had a penchant for dressmaking since she was a young girl, when she would watch inquisitively as her grandmother hand-sewed clothes for Renee and her sister.

It is no surprise, then, that Renee has a sewing room in her home.

Despite this, there is only so much one woman can achieve, so Renee

uses a number of Australian-grown, family-run businesses in Sydney to manufacture her garments.

Up until November, Renee ran a shopfront in The Emporium in the Hunter Street Mall.

She took up the space through the Renew Newcastle project four years ago, after working for almost 10 years as a clinical psychologist left her yearning for a creative outlet.

“I kind of got to the point where I really wanted to do some creative work to balance it out,” she said.

Renee gained her Diploma in Fashion Design at the Sydney Institute.

She set about melding her work and passion, and soon enough, two became one (Renee still practices as a psychologist today).

While Renee gave up her shopfront in November to prepare for her first baby, due in April, I&MINE at The Emporium still stocks VOUS clothing.

She hopes to engage more stockists, both local and online, in the near future to continue to grow the label.

Region on its way to reaching targets

N

ew-home building approvals continue to rise across the Hunter Region, Australian Bureau of Statistics figures show.

Over the three months to November 2016, approval numbers grew in Newcastle, Maitland, Port Stephens, and the lower half of the Central Coast local government area.

But the winner was Dungog, with the largest percentage growth of 140%.

Dungog boasted nine detached dwelling approvals in November – the highest number since June 2011.

In total, 562 dwelling approvals were issued across the Hunter and Central Coast in November, compared to 423 in October.

The Lower Hunter and Central Coast local government areas continue to do much of the heavy lifting.

Housing Industry Association Hunter executive director, Craig Jennion, said this was promising.

“Without growth more broadly across all the LGAs of the Hunter and Central Coast, it [would] be extremely difficult to meet the

dwelling targets established in the recently-released Hunter and Central Coast Regional Plans,” he said.

Looking back at the past 12 months, an impressive 5,517 building approvals were issued, however, that’s still 58 approvals short of the combined average number of dwellings needed to meet the targets in the Hunter and Central Coast regional plans.

The Hunter Regional Plan outlines the need for another 70,000 dwellings in the region by 2036, while the Central Coast Regional Plan pinpoints that figure at 41,500.

Therefore, an annual average of 5,575 new dwellings is needed to reach the combined dwelling target of 111,500.

“Whilst I believe that the very healthy levels of activity that the residential construction sector has been experiencing locally will continue in early 2017… the state government needs to do more to support the important contribution that the residential construction sector continues to make to the local economy,” Mr Jennion said.

February 10 – 16

PICK OF THE WEEK Miracle In The Woods Friday, PRIME7, 12pm, M (1997) Mawkish and melodramatic tearjerker starring Meredith Baxter (Family Ties) and Patricia Heaton (Everybody Loves Raymond) as quarrelling sisters who inherit a large abandoned rural property after the death of their mother. On arriving at the house, they discover it isn’t abandoned after all, and an old lady with a secret has been living there without anyone knowing. Too sentimental and predictable to hold any interest.

Friday

Starsky & Hutch

The Hangover Part III Saturday, NBN, 9pm, MA15+ (2013) It’s been a while since the Wolfpack gang narrowly escaped disaster in Bangkok, and Phil (Bradley Cooper), Stu (Ed Helms) and Doug (Justin Bartha) have settled down, but Alan (Zach Galifianakis) is having a personal crisis. Lacking a sense of purpose, Alan has gone off his meds and is getting up to all kinds of crazy antics. It’s up to the other members of the Wolfpack to get him back on track by embarking on a road trip to the place it all began ... Las Vegas. It’s fun and frolicks all the way.

Friday, GO!, 9.30pm, M (2004) Ben Stiller (as hothead Dave Starsky, right) and Owen Wilson (as feckless ladies’ man Ken Hutchinson) recapture the hilarity of their previous pairings in this off-the-wall reprise of the popular ’70s cop show. The intentionally cliched plot raises a smile, too, as the mismatched duo face off against a smarmy drug lord (Vince Vaughn), who plots to flood the market with an undetectable batch of cocaine. Throw in Snoop Dogg – who bags the best lines as Hutch’s reliable snitch Huggy Bear – and an uproarious cameo by Will Ferrell, and this is the funniest and grooviest TV crossover to pound the beat in years.
