3PM, TV2
MAKING OF THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA
Yes, we realise there's something odd about watching the making of a movie that hasn't come out yet but this should excite the fashionista in you - or at least the bitch. Meryl Streep is Miranda Priestly, the ruthless New York fashion editor
who makes life hell for her assistant (Anne Hathaway).

7PM, PRIME
YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT
The woman so keen on getting the nutrition-deprived onto healthy eating regimes also gives frank analyses of their waste products. If you can stomach descriptions of consistency, smell and texture there's a lot to learn.

7.30PM, TV ONE
NO GOING BACK
Greg and Rosemary Wallsworth and their two teenage sons are packing up their lives in Barrow, hooking up the caravan and heading for southern Spain. You can't expect such a lovely dream to unravel that way and it's not long before disaster strikes.

7.30PM, TV2
20/20 SPECIAL EDITION: TERRI IRWIN INTERVIEW
Ray Martin interview's the Crocodile Hunter's widow about their courtship, marriage and kids. Terri Irwin talks openly about her feelings following Steve's death.


MOVIES
[rated out of 5]

7.30PM, TV3
ICE AGE
Herald rating: * * * *
Fun animated feature, albeit woolly in parts, is set at the start of the Ice Age, with quarrelling animals trying to return a human baby to its parents. Frequent interludes with Scrat, the sabre-toothed squirrel, keeps the story from dragging. (2000).

8.30PM, TV2.
EVIL WOMAN
Herald rating: * * *
Steve Zahn and Jack Black play Wayne and JD, pals and Neil Diamond fanatics who plot to keep their friend Darren (Jason Biggs) from marrying the wrong woman (Amanda Peet). From Happy Gilmore director Dennis Dugan, it's stupid but consistently funny. (2001)

7PM, SKY MOVIES 1
MADAGASCAR
Herald rating: * * * *
Animal pals escape from New York's Central Park Zoo with the intention of going back to the wild, but are washed up on an island off the coast of Africa. Good animated comedy with plenty of movie references. (2005)

9.15PM, TV3
LOST IN TRANSLATION
Herald rating: * * * *
Bill Murray plays Bob Harris, an actor past his use-by date who still makes a good living in Japan where he appears in whisky commercials. While staying at a plush Tokyo hotel he meets Charlotte (Scarlett Johansson), the young wife of a visiting photographer, who like him is passing time in the house bar. They're both in a state of limbo. Charlotte is already unsettled in her new marriage and Bob barely copes with his long-distance one. They form a bond and share experiences in Tokyo, where cultural and language differences between themselves and the Japanese, as well as the walls of the hotel itself, reflect their feelings of isolation and imprisonment. A warm and gentle film from writer-director Sofia Coppola, who wrote the lead role specifically for Bill Murray. Coppola later said that if Murray had turned it down she wouldn't have made the movie. (2003)

SPORT

1AM, SKY SPORT 1 LIVE
A-LEAGUE: NEW ZEALAND KNIGHTS V PERTH GLORY
The dwindling fan-base won't be putting much strain on the power grid to watch this away game in the early hours of Saturday.

5.25PM, SKY SPORT 1 LIVE; 10.35PM, PRIME AIR NEW ZEALAND CUP QUARTER-FINAL 2, AUCKLAND V BAY OF PLENTY
The Auks should have an easy passage to the semis against a weaker Steamers side. In the third quarter-final (7.30pm, Sky Sport 1 live, 2.30pm Sunday on Prime), Waikato should be untroubled against Southland.

11.05PM, TV ONE
MOTORSPORT: BATHURST 1000 TOP TEN SHOOT-OUT
Petrolheads will be buckling-up for delayed coverage of this appetiser to tomorrow's big race. The top 10 qualifiers for round nine of the Australian V8 Supercar Championship will be going flat out to determine their grid positions.
