Bones

8:30pm – Sunday, February 12 on Seven

This week on BONES, Booth is caught off-guard by an announcement Brennan makes about their baby. To diffuse the tension between them, the couple agrees to experiment by putting themselves in each other’s shoes.

Meanwhile, the Jeffersonian team identifies the remains of a competitive-eating champion, just days before the start of the Gluttony Games, a premiere eating competition with a $10,000 prize at stake.

The remarkable work of new squint – and former juvenile delinquent – Finn links obscure evidence found in the belly of a snake with laws of physics to help solve the crime. Despite his brilliance in the lab, Finn is met with hostility and skepticism, leading Cam to question her decision to give him a chance to start anew.

BONES stars EMILY DESCHANEL as Dr Temperance Brennan, DAVID BOREANAZ as FBI Special Agent Seeley Booth, T.J. THYNE as Dr Jack Hodgins, MICHAELA CONLIN as Angela Montenegro, TAMARA TAYLOR as Dr Camille Saroyan and JOHN FRANCIS DALEY as Dr Lance Sweets.

With the tennis over, Sunday night returns to its most familiar line up with Bones at 8.30, Castle at 9.30. Thursday night also returns to the same line up this time last year. Happy Endings returns to Wednesday nights, followed by The Marraige Ref.The following week we will see the return of Packed to the Rafters, as well as premieres of Revenge and Once Upon a Time.

SEASON 1
Thursdays from December 1 at 7.30pm – Channel Premiere
For over a century, historians and scientists have been piecing together a history of the prehistoric world. This series examines the ultimate fighters of this unique period, gigantic beasts that stalked the earth millions of years ago. Some of these dinosaurs were larger than seven-story buildings, and hunted their prey with strategy and cunning, transforming the prehistoric world into a battlefield. The temperature, terrain, and innate sense of the opponent’s weaknesses and strengths all played a role in how each dinosaur planned his attack.

THE HISTORY CHANNEL – DINOSAURS DECODED
Friday December 2 at 10.30pm – Australian Exclusive Premiere
T-rex and Triceratops are among the best-studied dinosaurs of all time. So how much more can we learn about them? Surprisingly, more than we ever thought. This intriguing documentary discovers that young dinosaurs may have changed so dramatically as they grew up, that scientists assumed they were different species. A juvenile T-rex looked so different from an adult that it would be hard to recognise. Even dinosaurs’ colours may have changed as they aged. If the findings are right, dinosaurs looked and behaved much differently than we ever believed.
