A Night In - TN’s Derek Owens takes a look at the best (and worst) on offer in front of the Telly Must–See Show: Sweeny Investigates, Thursday, BBC2, 9:50 Even to those for whom ‘Chelsea’ is just a nice girls name, Roman Abramovich is an interesting character. Blessed with all the personal fortune and ambition of a good James Bond villain, ‘Chelski’s Russian owner has managed, in less that two years, to become one of the most controversial figures in world football. No trace of Bond here, but stereotypical ‘hard-nosedjournalist’ John Sweeney is expected to do give Abramovich a grilling at least. The rags to riches story of
the oil, property and football magnate is well worth the telling, and Sweeney is also expected to take a long hard look at some of the lessthan-kosher financial moves that propelled him to immense wealth. Love or loath him, Abramovich captures the imagination, and this documentary may well provide our best insight into his current lavish lifestyle as well as his questionable past. Top Movie: Ghostbusters, Friday RTE 2, 7:00 Featuring the most lovable morbid-
ly obese ghost since John Candy, clunky but funky guns, and a geeky bequiffed guy named Egon, this film defined our childhood. Well, it really should have. In truth, Ghostbusters doesn’t grace our screens with anything like the frequency that it should, meaning that there’s still some poor souls who didn’t watch both films, read the comic books or collect the toys obsessively. For these people, who clearly wasted their childhood, the film follows the fortunes of four jobbing scientists who decide to earn their living by zapping and
trapping ghosts. So it’s true science graduates get better jobs… Could go either way: 29 minutes of Fame, Friday, BBC 1, 9:30 Gameshows are dependable daytime schedule fillers. Add celebrities and you can slot that into prime time. If you make the gameshow about celebrities, you might just have a hit. That logic seems to have spawned 29 Minutes of Fame, a show that, try as we may to judge on its own merits, will probably never escape comparison with Have I Got News For You. With
Bob Mortimer in the chair however, (and the show being firmly pitched at ‘celebrity culture’ rather than current affairs) it seems that this is either a dumbed-down or less pompous version of the longrunning HIGNFY, depending on how you feel about that particular show’s pretensions. Celebrity guest Jo Brand seems to fit into this more populist manifesto perfectly, but the inclusion of Stephen Fry (who loves nothing better than a chortle at the great unwashed) means that this one is still tough to call.
Avoid like Scabies – Joey, Mondays, RTE 2, 9:00 We all had a right to be skeptical. When a once-great show gradually loses its edge, before being mercifully put out of its misery, the last thing we need is one of it’s weaker characters being transplanted to another city and given their own show. We were all proved wrong, however, as a superb script, sharp timing and appealing plot-lines fueled a superb sit-com for several seasons. But Frasier this ain’t. Just as in the moribund final years of Friends, the character of Joey is
pitifully one-dimensional, providing no subject matter for jokes beyond a) his love of women, b) his stupidity and c) his love of food. Oddly enough, a love of food (and the weight gain that goes with it) remains the one consistently funny thing about Matt LeBlanc, an actor with all the comic timing of an undertaker. And when you can’t say anything nice about the script, end the review.
This Week Wednesday night: Trinity and UCD Ents present Unisex. Featuring the Classic Beatles, Camembert Quartet and a host of Dublin’s coolest DJs. Doors open at 10. Tickets €8 from SU shop or €10 on the night. Thursday: Live Music in the Buttery at 8.
