Sunday Best: Children Of The Tsunami

Sunday, 11 March 2012

Sunday nights on ABC2 are the home of Sunday Best, an outstanding collection of game-changing and thought-provoking feature length documentaries. We've done the work to bring you the best must-see intelligent docos that are just 2 good to miss.

Put on your Sunday Best...

One year on: the Japanese tsunami through the eyes of its youngest survivors.

On March 11, 2011 Japan was hit by the greatest tsunami in a thousand years. Through compelling testimony from 7-10-year-old survivors, the film reveals how the deadly wave and the Fukushima nuclear accident have changed children's lives forever.

The story unfolds at two key locations: a primary school where 74 children were killed by the tsunami; and a school close to the Fukushima nuclear plant, attended by children evacuated from the nuclear exclusion zone.

Radiation and its possible long-term effects are a constant worry for parents and children who choose to remain in Fukushima. Many parents have placed severe restrictions on where their children can go, how they dress and what they can eat and drink.

“A tsunami is something that comes from deep within the sea. When it arrives it steals our lives, houses and things precious to us.” - Reina, 10.

“The radiation has stuck to the leaves so we're told we can't go in the garden without a mask.”- Kosei, 8.

Louis Theroux's Weird Weekends: Off Broadway

Monday, 12 March 2012

Louis Theroux meets the real-life kids from Fame when he investigates the world of off- Broadway theatre. As he immerses himself in the sub-culture of actors struggling to make it in New York, he discovers some of the less-dignified jobs they take to make ends meet.

James Lorenzo, an actor who has been trying to make it in the business for some 15 years, takes Louis to a photo shoot to start building the essential portfolio of head-shots.

At his next stop,TVI, where acting is a business, actress Nicole Greenwood leads Louis through the process of looking for acting work - and is brutally honest about his chances. Louis is gutted to be told he is definitely not the leading-man type, but more of a character actor, and is dreading the audition he knows he has to face. Louis says: "I decided to set my sights low and auditioned for a Norwegian cruise liner. It was either that, or applying for a job as a dancing chocolate bar in Hershey, Pennsylvania."

To his horror, the cruise liner gig turned out to be a very desirable job, with talented performers at the audition: "I humiliated myself utterly... it was my moment in the spotlight, and I basically had a panic attack. I found it particularly humiliating as I can carry a tune and play the guitar.

"All in all, it was quite an eye opener. There's something both quite sad and quite funny about these people's struggle - they're all desperately looking for an A-grade gig, aiming to be the next Tom Cruise but, in the end, they're really happy to get a toothpaste ad."

The Tudors


Queen Katherine (Tamzin Merchant) is shocked by the King's orders that she be confined to her apartments. The investigation into her past moves with speed: Francis Dereham (Allen Leech) is arrested and interrogated. Joan Bulmer (Catherine Steadman) is questioned, as is the Dowager Duchess of Norfolk (Barbara Brennan), at whose home Joan and Katherine lived as young women and where their immoral acts are rumoured to have taken place. Dereham confesses that he and Katherine Howard had planned to get married and that he knew her carnally before she became Queen - a serious revelation, but not adultery.

Uncharacteristically, Henry (Jonathan Rhys Meyers) weeps when told of these discoveries. But his response is unsentimental and swift: Katherine Howard is removed from Court and her title as Queen withdrawn. Her pleas for understanding and forgiveness are coldly ignored but she knows she is lucky to escape with her life.

Frances Dereham is brutally tortured as Lord Hertford (Max Brown) seeks to establish if Katherine Howard committed adultery. Dereham denies the charge but points to Thomas Culpepper (Torrance Coombs), who is promptly arrested. Furious that the betrayal was widely known, Henry isolates himself from his Court. Betrayed, bruised but unbowed, the King gives a banquet, attended only by 26 beautiful young women.

To decide, Paul F. Tompkins and Patton Oswalt square off in the court of the Honourable Judge Lewis Black, the ultimate evaluator or evil.

Lily Allen: From Riches to Rags

Wednesday, 14 March 2012 FinalThis isn't just another celebrity looking to play shopkeeper. Lily is genuinely looking to take her life in a different direction. The stakes couldn't be higher. Will Lily's shop with step-sister Sarah Owen be another Lily Allen hit?

In this final episode Lily and Sarah face the last few hurdles before opening the shop with a glittering launch night. But the year ends in devastation for Lily.

It's August and Lily and Sarah have found the premises for Lucy in Disguise, but with just five weeks to go before opening they are yet to move in and set up shop. With the layout and design to complete, a launch party to arrange and stock to move, it's all hands on deck.

In the countdown to opening they consult Mary Portas again about the layout and hit a stumbling block when the sisters disagree over whether to have the blow-dry bar they'd originally planned for extra income.

Six hundred invites go out for the launch party and it's an emotional moment for Sarah when she sees the finished shop for the first time.

Finally Lucy in Disguise is open and gets a rapturous reception from friends, family and the press. But nothing could prepare Lily and her family for what came next.

Kitchen Cabinet: Julie Bishop

Wednesday, 14 March 2012

A half-hour entertainment series that serves up a delectable combination of political discussion and good food. Each week one of Australia's most respected political commentators - Annabel Crabb takes a plate and leads us into the homes and hearts of some of our most notable and engaging politicians.

Annabel sits down and talks food, recipes and carbon tax with MPs from both sides of the fence. Food and politics are never separated for long. The best plots are hatched over lunch. The best stories are told over dinner. In Canberra, dinner bookings are an anthropological study in themselves. And the best way to get to know a politician is to break bread with one.

Kitchen Cabinet will deliver a refreshing human touch, as we watch our politicians drop their guard and go about their daily life at home.

Deputy Leader of the Opposition Julie Bishop has survived three bloody leadership battles, in turn serving Brendan Nelson, Malcolm Turnbull, and Tony Abbott. So what makes this Adelaide-born blue blood - known for her famous ‘death stare’ - tick? Bishop discusses her childhood in the Adelaide Hills as the daughter of fifth generation cherry farmers, through to her rise as a Perth-based corporate lawyer whose political awakening was forged by WA Inc. Over risotto and rosé Bishop talks about her friendships across the political divide, surviving embarrassing policy gaffes, and what it takes to outlast, out run and out manoeuvre her opponents. She also confesses to some truly unusual jogging behaviour, and to having run away, as a child, to join the Brownies.

Portlandia: Mayor Is Missing

Thursday, 15 March 2012

US hipster-comedy Portlandia continues on ABC2.

Portlandia, created, written by, and starring Fred Armisen (Saturday Night Live -SNL) and Carrie Brownstein (Wild Flag, Sleater-Kinney), is about the odd-ball residents of 'Portlandia', a dreamy and absurd rendering of Portland, Oregon, where 90s culture reigns supreme and political correctness is all the rage.

Armisen and Brownstein play an array of colourful and unique characters which include a militant bike messenger; an artsy couple who attach cut-outs of birds to everything ("put a bird on it"); members of an adult hide and seek league; self-righteous feminist bookstore owners; and a punk rock couple who use the safe word to help govern their love life.

A variety of guest stars appear such as: Selma Blair (Legally Blonde, Hellboy); Heather Graham (The Hangover); Steve Buscemi (Pulp Fiction, Boardwalk Empire); Kyle MacLachlan (Twin Peaks, Sex & The City); Gus Van Sant (Milk); Aimee Mann; James Mercer (the Shins); Sarah McLachlan and local Portland musicians Jenny Conlee and Colin Meloy (The Decemberists) and Corin Tucker (Sleater-Kinney).

Grandma's House: The Day Simon Decided He Was Forlorn


In this sharp but charming comedy series, Simon Amstell (the real-life former television presenter of the hilarious UK pop quiz show Never Mind The Buzzcocks) plays a version of himself - a television presenter who is quitting his job to try to do something more meaningful with his life. In each episode, Simon and his family congregate at Grandma's house to catch up.

In episode four, Simon suffers a life crisis and is depressed. The situation is exacerbated when a guest he interviewed on his show attacks him in the press. To make things worse, Tanya is moving into Clive's house, much to Simon's irritation. Meanwhile, Grandma and Grandpa plan a cruise.


PRODUCTION DETAILS:Written by Simon Amstell and Dan Swimer. Directed by Christine Gernon. Produced by Ben Cavey. A Tiger Apect production for the BBC. 6 x 30 minutes.

Friday, 16 March 2012

The six young Western warriors testing their strength and skills against the world's remote indigenous tribes, are climbing 3300m into the Himalayas for a back-breaking 12km mountain race that will push their minds and bodies to the limit.

They are to live the Sherpa life while they train for the event, which is run to a height of 4300m. It also entails carrying a 25kg Buddhist stone in a basket hung by a strap from the forehead.

A 40-year-old trainer, Pulba, takes them in hand to turn them into mountain men.

Murray shines in the early part of the race, but Ed and Wole present a late surprise. The gruelling race costs them dearly and several of the athletes come close to breaking point.
