TELEVISION GUIDE Wednesday February 13, to Tuesday February 19, 2013 Highlights this week 1. Invictus (Go! Monday, 9.30pm) has a lot going for it: Clint Eastwood’s direction and popular actors Morgan Freeman and Matt Damon. But it’s a bit too worthy, and dragging in the verse of a turgid nineteenth century poet doesn’t help. 2. It was a splendid series idea: collect three retired detectives bossed by an ambitious woman cop and set them to clear up old unsolved crimes. New Tricks (ABC1 Tuesday, 8.30pm) extended the careers of the actors, although by the end of the last series only Dennis Waterman was left of the original cast, the others having quit after various disagreements. When the ABC ran out of new episodes recently they started repeating series two, which is a pity as the writers handled the first series best, before deciding to be more formulaic. Even the cast felt the show was too bland in its final years. This North Coast NSW television guide is brought to you by the team that produce these great publications:
