Cocaine. Starts Sunday 16th
January 20.00
Cocaine is a three-part series of dramatic and intimate films about
this iconic drug from award-winning documentary film-maker, Angus
Macqueen. The programmes take the viewer on a chilling journey from
the coca fields and cocaine makers of the Peruvian Andes, via drugs
gangs in the favelas of Rio, to a man who stands behind over half
of Colombia's drug trade. This is a series about cocaine as a commodity
- and how current drug policies are turning the lives of real people
and communities into nightmares. It shows how the vast sums of illegal
money involved are damaging individuals, cities and, finally, states.
The first programme, Viva La Coca , takes viewers into the world of
the Peruvian coca farmers, who are totally dependent on the paltry
money they make from growing coca leaves, and the cocaine-makers,
who turn the leaves into "dandruff of the Andes." Following
the complex process of a kilo of cocaine being made, from the leaf
to the final drying in a microwave, it is clear that the peasants
and the drug makers are totally interdependent.

Desperate Housewives. Wednesdays
at 22.00
Looking down on her friends and family isn't a way of life for Mary
Alice Young (Brenda Strong); it's a way of death. One day, in her
perfect house, in the loveliest of suburbs, Mary Alice ended it all.
Now she's taking us into the lives of her family, friends and neighbours.
Her small circle of friends are wondering why one of their own would
do something so rash... and so messy. There's Susan Mayer (Teri Hatcher),
the divorcee and single mum who will go to extraordinary lengths for
love; Lynette Scavo (Felicity Huffman), the ex-career woman who traded
the boardroom for boredom, mixed with moments of sheer panic as the
mother of four unmanageable kids; Bree Van De Kamp (Marcia Cross),
the Martha Stewart on steroids, whose family is about to mutiny; and
Gabrielle Solis (Eva Longoria), the ex-model with everything she's
ever wanted - a rich husband, a big house - so what is she doing with
the 17-year-old gardener? And there are her neighbours, including
serial divorcee Edie Britt (Nicollette Sheridan), whose romantic conquests
have everyone buzzing. Then there are the men: hunky new neighbour
Mike Delfino (James Denton), who has Susan and Edie vying for his
attention; Rex Van De Kamp (Steven Culp), who's just told Bree he
wants a divorce; Gabrielle's better half, Carlos (Ricardo Antonio
Chavira), who figures he bought his wife a $15,000 diamond necklace,
so she should do whatever he tells her; as for Mary Alice's newly-widowed
husband, Paul (Mark Moses), there must be a reason why he's acting
suspiciously - and digging up the pool in the middle of the night!
From her unique vantage point, Mary Alice sees more now than she ever
did alive, and she's planning to share all the delicious secrets that
hide behind every neighbour's closed door in this seemingly perfect
American suburb
