This week's stars of the small screen. SIT back, relax and let Dianne Butler guide you through a week of sensational small-screen viewing. NCIS: LA Channel 10, 9.30pm Rating: 3/5 TALIBAN, pilot training school - all the hot words tonight. The main thing is we get to see the NCIS: LA spinoff crew NCIS: Red shoot guns angrily and flirt. Lifestyle Food, 8.30pm Rating: 3/5 THE BLOCK Channel 9, 7pm Rating: 3/5 TONIGHT on Days of Our Lives: Trixie and Madi go shopping for linen but it's clearly a ruse so Trixie can get her eyebrows waxed. IT'S Rosie Larsen's last day alive as the season finale opens. The rest of the family is packing for their camping trip and she's saying goodbye. As the action moves back to her murder investigation, Linden and Holden - all of us - finally seem to know who killed her. We saw his face in the security footage in the elevator at the casino last week. But there have been so many turns in this show, there's bound to be more to it. And there is. A startling development. But there's also the mayoral election to get through, and it has complications of its own. OFFSPRING Channel 10, 8.30pm Rating: 3/5 IS this what couples therapy is like? Gee it looks terrific. At least Nina and Patrick aren't at opposite ends of the counsellor's couch. He's given them homework this week. Is Eloise going to be a bit of a problem? Billie's also having problems (headshots for her business) even though she has new, aspirational hair. ARE you getting the feeling there isn't a tremendous amount of interest in finding out who stabbed Governor Meg Jackson with a shiv? If we apply the Biggest Star is Killer theory, it was Jacs Holt (Kris McQuade.) She's certainly the most connected, which also means it would've been murder by proxy. The new governor has a bit on her plate - Franky Doyle, for starters. REGINA'S trying to change. No, really. But then someone in Storybrooke turns up dead, someone they all like, and, well, it just makes sense to look at Regina. Mr Gold says, and it seems obvious when you think about it, ask the dog. Hook and Cora, Regina's lethal mother, are in town lurking about. Could be related. There's also a fair bit going on in Ye Olde Fairytale Land That Was. This is a complex show, as you well know. Gold, as it happens, may have a special magic drink that lets him drive across the town line without losing his memory. Handy, but not without risk. THESE Skins kids. Someone's always dying or nearly dying. The chances look good in this new series too. They're on holiday in Morocco, lost when the episode starts. The place they're staying at, when they find it, is a total dump no water, and none in the swimming pool either. At least there's a great sounding party not far away. It comes with its own set of problems though. The night - morning really - could hardly end worse. LAW & ORDER: SVU Channel 10, 9.30pm Rating: 3/5 ONE of the more brazen crimes on this show the sexual assault of a girl in the middle of a club. Right there on the floor, with people all around her. There should be plenty of witnesses. In theory. The key one has PTSD which Nick picked straightaway and veers from reliable to unreliable. Tremendous seeing Jeffrey Tambor (Arrested Development and The Larry Sanders Show) as a lawyer, even for five minutes. MR Hobbs was rescued by an Australian guy from a restaurant in Cambodia. He's 17 and has psychological damage, but show me the teenager who hasn't, right? Mr Hobbs is a lovely sun bear. Is he named after the superman who rescued him? He's lucky, though. The ones left behind live in cages waiting to have their paws cut off for soup. Mr Hobbs is about to meet his first girlfriend. She's a younger woman named Mary. Everyone's nervous. Also having sex for the first time are the white rhinos at Dubbo. This has the potential to go wrong, and not in a good way. NEIGHBOURS Eleven, 6.30pm Rating: 3/5 KYLE hopped into the cot with Kate and now he's fled to his mother's house in Frankston. As Kate says, he's in a pretty weird place right now. Or he's pretty sure he had it off with her. He's blind. Kyle's girlfriend Georgia is going to drive to Frankston to talk to Kyle about his decision to end their relationship. She'd been smothering him, so she's decided the best thing to do is rush to his side immediately. SIX streets, 200 bars. Chris Brown goes to one of them. It's cute, but hardly the spectacle we want when we're in Tokyo. The robot cabaret's more like it. "I'm quite nervous and I don't really know why," Chris says, as it's about to start. It's fantastic, but way too short. The segment. The robots are huge. He's right to be nervous. I would've liked to see this story in Miguel Maestre's hands. He's in Sydney doing one on bees. LUCKY us having James Purefoy on TV twice this week. Purefoy is Joe Carroll, the wacky cult leader on The Following. He plays William in this, a lawyer who's sleeping poorly and keeping something big from his wife. We've already seen a huge car bomb, unexplained, right at the start. William won his latest case though, and an angry cop lost his - the same case. The cop is investigating the murder of a labourer William might know something about. Then an old friend from uni gets charged with murder, and wants William to defend him. William's less keen. He doesn't do murder trials anymore. Reasons unknown. TALHOTBLOND Universal, Foxtel, 8.30pm Rating: 3.5/5 COURTENEY Cox directed this, kind of a turn-up. She does a pretty nice job. It's got Garret Dillahunt in the lead role and he can do anything. The dude played two separate characters in Deadwood. Genius. He's fantastic here, in a bad, true story about a guy - Thomas Montgomery - who, dying of stultifying routine, gets caught in a nightmare when he starts playing online poker with his friends. This is a story that has it all. THERE'S a hurricane on its way. Irma. Leo, a weather researcher, is murdered. Connected? Leo used to be Gavin from Gavin and Stacey. He gets maybe one line here before he dies, and then several more post-mortem. The suspects are the meteorology department. The dean found him, but she's ruled out early on. DI Poole has no concept of tropical storms, and thinks an umbrella is all the preparation anyone needs. REEF DOCTORS Channel 10, 6.30pm Rating: 3/5 TROPICAL ulcer cream. Just how much pus can we expect here, at 6.30pm on a Sunday? None. This is almost a kids' show - 6.30 may be too late for it. As it opens, Sam Stewart (Lisa McCune) is catching a sea snake, which she milks later (very strange footage here, inserted from some other show entirely) as part of her tropical cream research. An important issue, but maybe not very interesting to base a TV show around. Sam is also a GP though, and waiting on the (hot) new GP to arrive tonight. She's also got an ex-husband to deal with. Plus the gorgeous location and animals to occupy her. THE BLOCK Channel 9, 6.30pm Rating: 3/5 HALF a point between the top two tonight. But a big gap separating first and last. We can blame those bedheads. What a shemozzle. Lysandra, very sad, cuts her foot on a piece of timber. There's a thong next to a boot, so I don't know. The twins have first aid but are too squeamish to go near the very small injury. You wouldn't think we were cops, would you? Lysandra says. No, you wouldn't. AND now it's 1992 and Nene wants to run the Women's Weekly. As well as the Day. She puts it to Packer and at the same meeting he brings in Chainsaw Al Dunlap. They're ignoring Dulcie and she's off getting a big royal scoop. But the royal family's good to both of them in the '90s. They're under immense pressure now though, work's changing. Things turn bad personally as well. REVENGE Channel 7, 8.45pm Rating: 4/5 EMILY'S taken her boyfriend Aiden's advice and put on Daniel's engagement ring. It's the size of one of those new Mazdas. Victoria hosts a charming engagement party with a vicious undertow at Emily's modest $20 million beach shack. Daniel has to leave early to post bail for one of the family. Jack, a relative hobo, isn't invited but shows up anyway, and he and Emily talk in code about Victoria. He's dumber than driftwood. But possibly not dumber than Nolan and Aiden, who are pushing on with their plan - unsanctioned by Emily - to drain the Grayson bank accounts. But not before another murder. It's on. AND now for the blowback. Robert - Elizabeth and Philip's KGB friend who got stabbed and died during that chase in the first episode - has somehow reached out from beyond the grave to leave Philip a message in the classifieds. It's definitely Robert, Philip says, because it's his code. And who's this Gregory kissing Elizabeth on the neck? THE hypothermia patient can't feel anything below his waist. Consider yourself lucky, Dr Cooper tells him, as Carrie, the new doctor, cancels their dinner for the third time. The hospital administrator, meanwhile, appears to have lost a patient who's not even up to telling anyone her name. The administrator looks like she's heading that way herself. Jackie would help but she's out dealing with her teenage daughters.
