What"s on the box this week?

'Ugly Betty" (RTE 2, Thursday) - 'Ugly Betty" concludes the season with a two-hour episode. In the first hour, entitled 'Curveball", just as Betty agrees to move in with Matt, Henry pays a visit to NYC, forcing Betty to admit she still has feelings for her former fiancé. Meanwhile, Betty and Marc wait to see if their YETI editor interviews resulted in actual jobs; Daniel"s transformation from playboy to devoted husband makes him a media darling, and Wilhelmina cosies up to Victoria Hartley to find out just what kind of connection Claire Meade has to Cal Hartley. 'Kate Adie Returns To Tiananmen"(BBC 2, Wednesday) - Twenty years on, Kate Adie returns to China, but she and her crew have to travel incognito, posing as tourists and meeting contributors in secret because they were refused visas. The events of Tiananmen Square in 1989 are still completely taboo inside China - those who speak about them are labelled dissidents, harassed by the police and persecuted by the Communist Party. This is the first time many have spoken on television, a not inconsiderable risk, but one which they insist on taking to have their story heard. The Chinese authorities insist the turmoil of 1989 was the work of a small group of 'counter-revolutionaries". They claim only 200 civilians were killed. 'May Contain Nuts" (ITV, Thursday) - A two-part comedy drama starring Shirley Henderson, Darren Boyd and Sophie Thompson in this adaptation of John O"Farrell"s best-selling novel. School can be tough these days: bullying, back-stabbing, competing and cheating...and that"s just the parents. The Chaplin family have moved with their three young children to a safe, leafy, gated community in south-west London. Within minutes of meeting their new neighbours, they"re catapulted into a world where parental anxiety about their children"s education has reached fever pitch and where parents will stop at nothing to ensure their child gets a place at 'the best" school. Even if this means getting a job as the school secretary, as fellow neurotic mum Sarah secretly does, when she realises her daughter has no hope of passing the entrance exam to prestigious Chelsea College for Girls. 'Outbreak" (RTE 1, Tuesday) - Amid global concerns about the swine 'flu epidemic, 'Outbreak" tells the human stories behind disease outbreaks in Ireland over the last 100 years. It also includes stories of physical damage traced to drug and other treatments. Over six themed programmes, the series talks to survivors of Spanish influenza, polio and tuberculosis. There are interviews with fathers who lost their daughters to measles, with those struggling with the legacy of Thalidomide, and to people living with HIV. Movie Of The Week: 'The Pursuit Of Happyness" (RTE 1, Wednesday) - Starring Will Smith, Thandie Newton, and Dan Castellaneta, this one tells the tale of a man who gambles and loses everything on a business idea that fails. With a definite Depression sensibility, the hero eventually rises above his financial woes to make a new career for himself and his son.
