Yes, there is an elderly gent with a deeply personal problem with his genitals. And yes, we do see it in all its glory. Most of the other "embarrassing" conditions that Doctors Christian Jessen and Pixie McKenna see in this programme are fairly typical of someone not in the first flush of youth: bunions, hearing loss, varicose veins, dodgy bowels and prostate cancer among them. Gosh, there's a lot to look forward to after you hit 60. But the good news is that there's no need for all these older patients to suffer in silence, because there are revolutionary new treatments available. And, while we've all heard about the female menopause, it turns out men go through it, too. So if you're living with a Grumpy Old Man, it could be caused by the andropause.

It was a lot to live up to and sadly this belated sequel has to go down as a disappointment despite the return of star Temuera Morrison and writer Alan Duff. Morrison is Jake the Musc, who still spends his time drinking himself - and beating other people - senseless. However, when his son (Julian Arahanga) is killed in a gang shooting, he is forced to reevaluate his life. Director Ian Mune is fine on detailing the despair of working class Maori, but focuses too much on the gang lifestyle, which seems to have come out of some American ghetto thriller. Morrison is as impressive as ever, though. ~false~23/11/2009~02:00~03:50~110 King of the Hill~~Portrait of the Artist as a Young Clown~~~~false~false~true~true~false~false~false~false~~~Animation~American animation about a Texan family.

Andy Bichlbaum and Mike Bonnano created a spoof WTO website that was so convincing it led to invitations to speak at several prestigious trade events around the globe. The film follows the duo as they lecture bemused audiences on the benefits of vote-selling and "involuntary labour", as well as demonstrating their "Management Leisure Suit", complete with a phallic, inflatable communications console. However, all this feels like a rather smug enterprise. Had the significance of their stunts been placed in an intellectual context, this might have packed more of a punch. As it is, the "Yes Men" waste their unique access by settling for student-style skits that serve only to embarrass their victims, rather than challenge the spread of globalisation itself. ~false~24/11/2009~01:25~02:50~85 Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip~~4am Miracle~~~Amanda Peet,Matthew Perry,Bradley Whitford,Steven Weber,Sarah Paulson,Timothy Busfield~false~false~true~true~false~false~false~false~~~Drama~Drama series about a late-night comedy sketch show.

Arnold's affable juvenile persona can be grating at times, but it suits his role here as a bumbling crook holding a car-load of kids hostage. Filmed in Vancouver (standing in for Seattle) by director Arthur Hiller, it runs out of steam way before the end, while the thin plot is entirely built around a succession of screeching tyres and sexist gags.

The pair, who have been married almost 50 years, are still living in their first home and claim they want a radical change, with a budget of £700,000 to spend on a new house in Berkshire and a posh fl at near the sea in Dorset. But as the hunt wears on, it’s clear their current home exerts a strong emotional pull on Henry, who strews obstacles in the way of every lovely house they’re shown. Or maybe he’s just fed up with Kirstie and Phil , who are at their chortling worst with their wearisome joshing and arch banter. Still, Henry and Margot have the last laugh, which is deeply satisfying to see.

This series is the kind of thing Channel 4 was created in order to air - a programme that feels properly trailblazing, in this case in its portrayal of disabilities. Cast Offs is a six-part drama about a fictional reality TV show that takes a group of disabled people to an island and leaves them to fend for themselves. Disabled actors play the roles and helped with the script, and as a result it's a believable portrayal of grown-ups who drink, swear, have sex and arguments and reveal their character flaws. The action switches between the island and the earlier home life of Dan, a young paraplegic man who has joined a wheelchair basketball team in the hope, you feel, of escaping his over-possessive father. The macho basketball team is well drawn, as are the wrinkles of romance when you're a chair user. The trouble is, the scenes on the island feel forced. This is billed as a comedy drama, but that mainly means the characters laugh at things that aren't funny. Judging this opener in purely dramatic terms, Cast Offs is underpowered, but as a TV breakthrough it's huge. Episode two is tomorrow at 11.15pm.

The laughs are cheap, and romantic leads Dane Cook and Jessica Simpson have barely enough charisma between them to sell a tube of toothpaste, let alone the flimsy plot. Cook plays a shiftless shelf-stacker who suddenly ups his game when it turns out that the good-looking new girl (Simpson) only dates guys who make employee of the month. He faces stiff competition from Dax Shepard, who does at least have a few funny moments as a quick-on-the-draw checkout attendant.

Beyond the Sea charts the singer's astonishing life from an illness-ridden childhood (he was told he wouldn't survive adolescence) to his death at the tragically young age of 37, taking in Darin's recording triumphs, marriage to Sandra Dee (Kate Bosworth), success in Vegas and Hollywood and a career-damaging flirtation with Vietnam-era protest songs. Spacey is outstanding as Darin, delivering a note-perfect re-creation of the singer's style and hoofing his way through the dance numbers with aplomb. But the film's structure - a strange blend of flashbacks and fantasy heavily influenced by Fellini's 8½, which makes it unclear as to whether Darin is actually dead - will prove too odd for some viewers.~false~29/11/2009~01:00~03:15~135 Benefit Busters~~~~~~false~false~true~true~false~false~false~false~~~Documentary~Documentary series following both sides of the welfare state in Britain at a time when the government is paying out more in benefits than it raises in income tax.

This visually inventive romp through a world populated entirely by robots uses inspired computer animation to revitalise a familiar story. Leading an eclectic voice cast, Ewan McGregor gives boyish charm to idealistic small-town robot Rodney Copperbottom, who journeys to the big city to make his fortune as an inventor, only to find things are not as easy as he'd hoped. In a crisply created environment that bursts with colour and visual texture, the sci-fi style of the 1950s rubs shoulders with more contemporary designs and landscapes, giving the movie a very attractive sheen. There are a number of ingenious set pieces, too, while the comedy is both light and mischievous. Robin Williams is especially funny and buoyant as Copperbottom's dilapidated street pal Fender, though some of the movie's in-jokes and references will be too obscure for younger viewers. ~false~29/11/2009~18:25~20:00~95 Come Dine with Me~~~~~~false~false~false~false~false~false~false~false~~~Documentary~The cookery-based reality show in which five amateur chefs compete to stage the ultimate dinner party.

Set in 2057, the film boasts crisp performances from Cillian Murphy, Chris Evans and Rose Byrne as the astronauts who are sent on a hazardous mission to rekindle the dying Sun by firing a giant bomb into its core. Throwing in nods to genre classics Silent Running and Dark Star, Boyle succeeds admirably in cranking up the tension as things go awry and the crew are subjected to unexplained and unnerving phenomena. But, despite a strong first half, the film loses its way as the spaceship nears its fiery destination and the admittedly stunning special effects begin to overwhelm an action-packed but disappointing final act.~true~29/11/2009~22:00~00:10~130 My Name Is Earl~~G.E.D.~~~Jason Lee,Jaime Pressly,Ethan Suplee,Nadine Velazquez~false~false~true~true~false~false~false~false~~~Sitcom~US comedy series.

As a child, butcher's daughter Mélanie Prouvost blows her audition for music school when famous pianist - and one of the judges - Ariane Fouchécourt (Catherine Frot) inadvertently ruins Mélanie's concentration. Ten years later, the adult Mélanie (played by Déborah François) gets a job first at the law firm of Ariane's husband, then at their home as an au pair and finally as the now-neurotic Ariane's page turner at concerts. Revenge is clearly the ruthless young woman's goal. There's something quintessentially French about the film's ambiguous attitude towards haute bourgeoisie culture, as it revels in the trappings of wealth and good taste even as the rich characters are made to suffer. But beneath the elegance this is a low-key but genuinely gripping thriller. ~false~03/12/2009~23:45~01:25~100 Black Widow~~~1987~Bob Rafelson~Alexandra Barnes*Debra Winger|Catharine*Theresa Russell|Paul Nuytten*Sami Frey|Ben Dumers*Dennis Hopper|William Macauley*Nicol Williamson|Bruce*Terry O'Quinn|Shin*James Hong|Etta*Diane Ladd|Michael*D W Moffett|Ricci*Leo Rossi|Shelley*Mary Woronov|Sara*Lois Smith|Irene*Rutanya Alda|Etta's husband*Wayne Heffley|Martin*Raleigh Bond|Artie*Christian Clemenson|Tran*Arsenio "Sonny" Trinidad~false~true~false~true~true~false~true~false~3~15~Film~It's not quite in the same league as his dense psychological dramas from the early 1970s such as Five Easy Pieces, but this intriguing thriller marked a major return to form for Bob Rafelson. Theresa Russell stars as the black widow of the title, a female Bluebeard who specialises in bumping off millionaires, among them Dennis Hopper and Nicol Williamson. Debra Winger plays the uptight FBI agent who sets out to bring her to justice. The cat-and-mouse games played by Winger and Russell crackle with tension and there's a lovely twist at the end. The two leads are magnificent and they are well supported by a distinguished cast that also includes Diane Ladd, Terry O'Quinn and Sami Frey. ~false~04/12/2009~01:25~03:10~105 Dispatches: Lords, Billionaires and the Russian Connection~~~~~~false~false~true~true~false~false~true~false~~~Documentary~Anthony Barnett examines the relationship between Russian oligarchs who are trying to buy British institutions, including football clubs and newspapers, and the political elite of the House of Lords.~false~04/12/2009~03:10~04:05~55 Unreported World~~The Battle for Israel's Soul~~~~false~false~true~true~false~false~false~false~~~Documentary~The foreign affairs documentary series looks at how the growth in the number of Jewish 'fundamentalists' in Israel is allegedly threatening peace deal negotiations with Palestine.~false~04/12/2009~04:05~04:30~25 Switched~~~~~~false~false~true~false~false~false~false~false~~~Documentary~US reality series in which two teenagers from different cities swap places.

Directors Michael Powell (who also has a cameo role) and Emeric Pressburger are more successful at re-creating the bomber raid and the spectacular crash than they are at capturing an authentic Dutch atmosphere. It's a classic example of the way in which fictional stories were given a documentary style in order to increase their propaganda impact, and Powell and Pressburger's script received an Oscar nomination. There are sterling supporting turns from Peter Ustinov and Hay Petrie, but the film looks and sounds rather dated now. ~false~04/12/2009~13:25~15:25~120 Countdown~~~~~~false~false~false~true~false~false~false~false~~~Game show~Jeff Stelling and Rachel Riley host the show in which contestants race against the clock to pit their wits against vowels, consonants and numbers.

So she's astounded to wake up the next day and find him still alive. It appears that time has somehow come unstuck and she's experiencing the week of his demise in random order. Can she reshuffle the days in order to learn the facts and save his life? It's pointless trying to work out what's really going on here, as the film's full of gaps in logic, inane harbingers of doom and meaningless clues. And such explanations as do arrive are hilariously heavy-handed tributes to faith and family values. It's languidly paced and drearily shot, and Bullock's utterly pedestrian performance matches the sappy imagery and uninspired scares.~false~05/12/2009~21:40~23:40~120 8 Out of 10 Cats~~~~~~false~false~true~true~false~false~false~false~~~Comedy~Jimmy Carr hosts a comedy show in which celebrity panellists discuss the findings of opinion polls on wacky or trivial topics.~false~05/12/2009~23:40~00:15~35
