CORONATION STREET
Everyone seems to be getting hot or bothered this week: Vera considers leaving Jack, Janice suspects Leanne has spent the night with another man, Tyrone flirts with Fiz and (disturbing visual ahead) Bob asks Liz to pose wearing nothing but a saddle. Ew.

BOSTON LEGAL
After beginning to speak gibberish in court, Alan turns to Denny for help in curing his new, debilitating condition, Paul and Brad defend a video game company and Denise challenges the polygamy law.
9.30PM, MAORI TV
RADIO WHA WAHO
This vintage series from 1993 about a local radio station is worth checking out just to wince at the clothes and spot well-known actors looking very fresh-faced. Don't miss a lean Hori Ahipene playing a ladies' man, as opposed to being a mannish lady in his roles as bossy matriarch Mrs Semisi in Skitz years later.

NATURAL CITY
Herald rating: * * *
A special forces officer falls for an artificial girl whose chip is about to expire in this beautifully realised science fiction film from South Korea. The story is a little slow in places but that's made up for with great effects and familiar elements which pay homage to films like Blade Runner and The Matrix. (2003)
8.30PM, SKY MOVIES 1
EURO TRIP
Herald rating: * *
You don't need a whole lot of plot for a teen road trip film. A high school graduate goes to Europe to find the girl of his dreams and takes along his three best friends - a horny slacker, a girl pining for true romance and a nerd. The humour is crude and many gags are xenophobic but it's ultimately a good-natured comedy. (2004)
