DR KEN
Double episode ★★★
11.10pm, 7flix
This kooky Korean-American sitcom family dive into the Halloween spirit with a freaky Korean fairytale told by granddad D.K. (Dana Lee) in which everyone gets a part. The morality tale warning young Dave (Albert Tsai) about the perils of growing up too fast presents many an opportunity for his scaredy-cat dad (creator Ken Jeong) to act the dag with his trademark boom-tish one-liners.
JOANNA AND JENNIFER: ABSOLUTELY CHAMPERS
★★★
7.30pm, ABC
Joanna Lumley's travelogue experience and grasp of French makes her the natural leader here, as she and Jennifer Saunders explore their love of bubbles in France. While Lumley jokes with the locals and joins in the chores, Saunders goes a bit Eddie and struggles with the buckets. The inevitable documentary for these extravagant comedians is best enjoyed with a glass in hand.
AGATHA CHRISTIE'S CRIMINAL GAMES
Series premiere ★★★★★
11.50pm, SBS
What unadulterated pleasure to indulge in Christie's meticulously crafted mysteries through the pastel prism of 1950s France. What fun the actors must have had sweeping from one melodramatic close-up to the next, cavorting in beautiful costumes and, oh, the smoking! The dashing Commissioner Laurence's first case involves a double murder at a sanctuary for the criminally insane. Mon Dieu!
