Saturday, May 2 Great Continental Railway Journeys SBS ONE, 7.30pm There are some pretty sweet gigs on TV, but few are more enviable than Michael Portillo’s. The former politician is now into his second season riding the rails around Europe (in fact, the third season recently finished airing in the UK) and tonight that ride takes him from Copenhagen, Denmark, to Oslo, Norway. Portillo, armed with his 1913 railway guide, takes a rollercoaster ride in Copenhagen’s famous Tivoli Gardens, before heading to Sweden where he feasts in Lund and then takes a vintage Volvo for a spin in the Swedish highlands.

As his plane starts to nosedive in torrential rain, veteran pilot Whip Whitaker (Denzel Washington) pulls a brave stunt by turning the plane upside down then landing safely in a field. Of the avoided disaster, Whip is labelled a hero. But when blood tests reveal he was drunk and on drugs while flying, Whip’s career starts falling from the skies. Washington is at his best in this film; his steely gaze hides his emotional turmoil as his veneer of poise and authority begins to crack. More than your average plane disaster, Flight is a gripping tale of a tortured character and a welcome return to live-action features from Robert Zemeckis.
h the Mike Myers (right) powers on with third and arguably cleverest chapter of the shag-mad British spy’s adventures. Pushing the envelope with aplomb, Myers and director Jay Roach have formulated another of Dr Evil’s rld laughably uninspired plans for world domination, sparking Austin into action e ’70s, in a mission that brings him to the where he faces a new adversary: man Goldmember, a disturbing Dutchman with flaky skin and an expensive endowment. Joining the nuttiness is Austin’s long-lost father (Michael Caine), a les) and, sexy new squeeze (Beyoncé Knowles) at Bastard, of course, all the old favourites (Fat Mini-Me and so on).
