What to Watch on TV Tonight, Wednesday April 18, 2012

What to watch on TV tonight? After The Block, another Nine reality series premieres in Celebrity Apprentice Australia seasin two. Also, season three of Offspring premieres while on Pay TV’s Arena, WAG Nation hits our screens.


The Celebrity Apprentice, Nine, 8.00pm

Back for its second Australian season. This episode – the ads suggest someone gets fired every episode. Ultimate Dog Pamper Experience. If you think you’d seen it all, then this group of 12 high-profile, ultra-competitive celebrities is sure to shock you. Will be recapped by Courtney.

Offspring, Ten, 8.30pm
Season 3 premiere. (Includes first look of Bikie Wars: Brothers in Arms.) Nina Proudman is floating on cloud nine. She’s in love with Dr Patrick Reid and happy in her job – but is everything about to change? Will be recapped by Loz.

Titanic Mini Series, Seven, 8.30pm
All human life is on Titanic as she sets out on her maiden voyage. The upper-class family with their suffragette daughter and their warring servants; the wealthy elite of American society; the Irish lawyer in Second Class with his embittered wife; the young cabin steward and the impetuous Italian waiter who falls for her. And then there are the officers and crew. As their stories interweave and we find our first impressions are often undermined by what we learn, there is one thing we know for certain and they do not. That not all of them will survive. Continues next Wednesday April 25 as well.

World’s Most Dangerous Roads, SBS ONE, 8.30pm
Something different – sounds like Celebrity Ice Road Truckers! Alaska. In this three-part series, six British celebrities tackle some of the world’s most infamous roads. Comedian Sue Perkins and adventurer Charley Boorman travel across Alaska to the notorious Dalton Highway – a dirt track built in the 1970s as a supply road to support the Trans-Alaska oil pipeline. Highway maintenance is a full time job here with avalanche units operating throughout the year. As Arctic conditions close in on them, the pair have to rely on the help of hardcore truckers for whom the highway is home.
