The Blot is unbelievably excited for the North American premiere of Torchwood Season Three tonight on BBC America! Torchwood: Children of Earth (a.k.a. Torchwood Season 3) is a five night miniseries event that starts tonight, Monday, July 20th and continues with a new episode every night for the rest of this week. Torchwood has consistently been one of my favorite shows since it debuted in 2006, and it has taken a lot of willpower to not read any spoilers or reviews of Children of Earth since it aired the week of July 6th in Great Britain.
I have no idea why the BBC decided to shrink such a popular show’s season down to just five episodes, but I am glad to know the show continues to bring in huge ratings and has graduated over the years from BBC Three to BBC Two and now airs on the more prominent BBC One channel. If you’ve never watched Torchwood before I highly recommend renting the DVD box sets, especially if you’re a fan of Doctor Who (the show Torchwood spun-off from).
Torchwood: Children of Earth airs every night this week (July 20-24) on BBC America at 9/8c. Each episode of this five part mini-series is an hour and fifteen minutes long and is then followed by a 15 minute “Behind the Scenes” show that looks at the making of each episode, so be sure to set your DVRs accordingly!
No Reservations Season 5 continues with Tony traveling down under for a tour of Australia. Bourdain spends the bulk of his trip in Australia’s second most populated city Melbourne. Known as Australia’s cultural capital, Melbourne has the second largest Asian population in Australia, which includes the largest Vietnamese, Indian and Sri Lankan communities in the country. Melbourne is a melting pot of cultures and Tony wants to discover what makes the city so special.
While in Australia Tony meets up with Paul Wilson, a British chef living in Australia, who gives Tony a tour of Queen Victoria Market, which is filled with tons of fresh produce, fish and meat. The two chefs then head to Wilson’s restaurant, Half Moon, for a delicious meal of mouthwatering seafood. You can learn more about Chef Paul Wilson’s restaurant Half Moon by watching the clip below from tonight’s episode of No Reservations: Australia.
While in Melbourne Tony also tries playing the city’s favorite sport, trugo, and then ventures to Sydney Street, a bustling shopping area filled with immigrant restaurants and markets. Tony then heads to the Royal Mall, which is a culinary wonderland in a tiny, countryside farming town outside of Melbourne where he samples incredibly fresh calamari, kingfish and pigeon. Bourdain then wraps up his trip by attending a traditional Australian barbi where he feasts on shrimp, the highest quality wagyu beef and succulent lamb. Sounds pretty good doesn’t it?
Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations airs Mondays at 10/9c on the Travel Channel.
