What's on the box this week?

'Jamie Does Stockholm' (Channel 4, Wednesday, 9pm) - Jamie Oliver is in Stockholm in search of the authentic tastes of Sweden. He tries reindeer heart before catching a boat out to one of the thousands of islands around the city to pick wild mushrooms and blueberries. He also samples surstromming, a fermented herring that smells like a stink bomb. Next, he heads to the royal palace to see what's on the guards' lunch menu, before ending his trip at a crayfish party, where he joins in the drinking songs and avoids the skinny-dipping. Along the way, Oliver makes gravadlax, blueberry buns, creamy mushrooms, pike perch and roasted beetroot salad. _____________________________________________________________ 'Greatest Cities In The World With Griff Thys Jones' (ITV, Thursday, 9pm) - Sydney is a city where people work to live and live fabulously well in what Jones describes as "surely one of the most beautiful locations in the world". His 24 hours in Sydney starts on one of the city's beautiful beaches at 5am. He explains that before Sydneysiders put on their business suits for the day, they like to put on their bathing suits and spend quality time on the beach before work. These breakfast swims are also an opportunity for something else - sharks. Jones joins the team of Surf Watch in their helicopter as they scan the sea for potential danger. Last year, there were five shark attacks in Sydney's waters and he is told that sharks as big as four-and-a-half metres in length have been seen in the area. Sydney had a tough past and he visits a street known as Suez Alley, which had a notorious reputation in the 19th century as a haunt for gangs. One ferocious gang of women would jump on unwary sailors and pull out their gold teeth and steal their clothes. _____________________________________________________________ 'The Big Story' (RTE 1, Friday, 8.30pm) - Derry-born Susan McKay is probably best-known for her book about the Sophia McColgan family abuse case. McKay entered print journalism after years working as a rape crisis and abuse counsellor. As a Northern protestant, her controversial writing has often focused on violence and injustice against women as well as the conflict in Northern Ireland. During the summer of 1997, following the Drumcree parade, two innocent Catholic teenagers were murdered in separate sectarian attacks. They, and the Sophia McColgan story, have had a lasting impact on McKay. In May 2009, she was appointed director of the National Women's Council of Ireland. _____________________________________________________________ 'Living With Wildlife' (RTE 1, Tuesday, 7pm) - In this new series, Emmy Award-winning wildlife cameraman Colin Stafford-Johnson travels all over Ireland filming a fascinating variety of wildlife, including bellowing toads in the sand dunes of Kerry and beeping hedgehogs in Cork. This first programme is very observational and quite different to what he has done before. Sea trout are a cousin of the salmon but much more secretive and Stafford-Johnson wants to film them spawning. It's November on the Lough Currane system near Waterville in Kerry, one of the best sea trout fisheries in Europe. Spawning time is extremely difficult to film, so he enlists the help of local wildlife cameraman, James Pembroke, who knows this system like the back of his hand, and together they explore the river system, attempting to film the sea trout with limited success. They need a little more help, so he meets up with local underwater cameraman Vinny Hyland who gets into his wetsuit to film the fish. _____________________________________________________________ Movie Of The Week: 'None But The Brave' (Channal 4, Friday, 1.20pm) - This Second World War thriller was Frank Sinatra's only outing as a director, and and a movie in he also stars. When a group of US soldiers crashland on a remote Pacific island, they discover a group of Japanese soldiers, who are also stranded following their own plane crash. After an initial skirmish, medic Mate Maloney fixes up the wounded on both sides and an uneasy truce is called, with hostilities planned to recommence when rescuers arrive. However, as time passes, the growing respect and comradeship between the two sides begins to undermine their mutual loathing.
