What to Watch 2005-06-21

For this the shortest day in the Southern hemisphere and the longest in the Northern may I recommend;

• The British and Irish Lions v Southland on Fox Sports 2 from 5pm. Luckily we've got TVs at work so I can watch the kick off before heading home.
• At 8pm on Nine they are showing a two and a half year old episode of Frasier for the first time. Shame on you Packer family. Luckily it's a corker.
• Whilst it pains me to suggest you watch Rove Live on Ten at 9:30pm he does have Clive James on. Here's hoping he can inject some much needed gravitas to the show.
• If you can't bring yourself to lower your standards to watch Australia's favourite evening talk show may I suggest you indulge in some fine music television instead? Over on Max at 9:30pm they're showing Later with Jools Holland. Sweet.

Do not, whatever you do, watch Boston Legal on Seven at 9:30pm. This world needs another show about quirky lawyers in Boston about as much as it needs a hole in the ozone layer. David E Kelley should not get even another minute of any of his programmes shown. Anywhere. Ever.

Ciaran: Mind you Boston Legal does have Captain Kirk on it. I can see it now.. "Must....get....deposition.....to.....judge" or "Damn it man I'm a lawyer not a doctor !!"
