FAIR GO

LOST
Having rekindled their feelings for each other while rescuing Michael, Jack and Kate return to camp and have some news about the Others, while Ana Lucia tries her LAPD interrogation methods on the prisoner. It'd be funny if his real name is Rodney King, huh?

INVASION
Now, where were we in this sci-fi series which was replaced by last week's "double" dose of Lost? That's right - still wondering if those hybrid Floridian hurricane survivors are the next step in evolution, alien mutants, or a deluded religious cult following a guru by the name of Szura? Whatever they are, the battlelines are being drawn between those who were bodysnatched and those who never got the upgrade.

QUEER EYE FOR THE STRAIGHT GUY
Once upon a time they were just so hot. Now they're just another reality show, though at least with some socially redeeming features. In this first episode of the new series, the team, led by Carson Kressley, take on a makeover of the scruffier members of the World Series-winning Boston Red Sox baseball team. But what if those Sox clash with the rest of their outfits?
9.30PM, TV3
PRISON BREAK
Hopefully you caught last week's premiere so you know what's happening in this tough new drama: Michael Scofield had himself deliberately thrown in jail alongside his brother, Lincoln Burrows, who is on death row. Michael has the prison's blueprints tattooed on his hide - he just has to save that hide from the other inmates as he plans to escape.

STAGE BEAUTY
* * * *
This enjoyably period romance draws comparisons to Shakespeare In Love, though it's set 60 years after the Bard's heyday, just as Charles II (Rupert Everett) revokes the ban against women performing on stage. That's bad news for London's "leading lady" Ned Kynaston (Billy Crudup) who is adored by audiences, his lover and patron the Duke of Buckingham, and secretly admired by his dresser Maria (Claire Danes) who also has a hankering to tread the boards. (2004)
