Justice Served:
Murderous Affairs
The saying ‘There’s a fine line between
love and hate’ doesn’t ring truer than in this
15-episode American series investigating love
affairs gone wrong and spouses who kill.
A 2015 study from The Australian Institute
of Criminology classifies this type of offence
as ‘intimate partner’ crime and it accounts for
23 per cent of homicides in Australia.
The tragic tales profiled in this series give
a whole new meaning to the vow “till death
do us part”, as each episode spotlights one
or two crime stories. Every case features
actual evidence, re-enactments and news
footage of these lethal relationships.

The World’s Most
Extraordinary Homes
This new four-part BBC-produced series is akin to
a globetrotting Grand Designs. Is it the voyeur in
us that draws us to programs that show how other
people live? Regardless, this show is interesting.
Join architect Piers Taylor and property enthusiast
and actress Caroline Quentin (Jonathan Creek) as they
explore exceptional homes around the world and
the stunning landscapes where they are located.
