BACK IN TIME FOR DINNER
Series premiere ★★★★
Tuesday 8.30pm, ABC

What sounds like a Mad as Hell spoof ABC promo is actually a clever look at Australia's culinary and cultural development since 1950. Retrobabe Annabel Crabb guides a millennial family through the domestic experience, in which their house is dressed for a different decade each week. The family is great TV talent. Their observations of the ups and downs of yesteryear are astute and heartfelt.

TODD SAMPSON'S BODYHACK
Series return ★★★
Thursday 8.30pm, Ten

Refraining from performing the dangerous stunts of Life on the Line, the Gruen panellist is back learning from others who do. The neuroscience graphics imposed over the heads of those who test the limits of human endurance, such as the Sadhus of India in this first confronting episode, are unintentionally amusing. As is the feat of one Sadhu that is reminiscent of an early Chris Lilley creation.

BACK WITH THE EX
Series final ★★★
Wednesday 9.45pm, Seven
