Coming up on Television

The Quiller Memorandum The menace of Harold Pinter's script is marvellously sustained by director Michael Anderson in this underrated thriller, with George Segal giving one of his finest performances as the secret agent investigating a neo-Nazi movement in 1960s Berlin. Alec Guinness and Max von Sydow excel as, respectively, the British spy chief and his evil Nazi counterpart, and, for once, a woman (Senta Berger) plays a formidable part in an ambiguous role, the true nature of which is only revealed in the final shots.

Nutty Professor 2: the Klumps In this amusing sequel to Eddie Murphy's 1996 success (itself a remake of the 1963 Jerry Lewis comedy), Murphy gets to play rotund scientist Sherman Klump and his entire corpulent family (bar one, his little brother), including his father at two different ages. His performance is an amazing tour de force, which could be compared to the best work of Alec Guinness and Peter Sellers if it weren't for the fact that half the time he's unintelligible. The basis of the new story is an amusing variation on The Fly: Klump is desperate to rid himself of his slim, supercool alter ego, Buddy Love, but only manages to regenerate (and mutate) him. Janet Jackson is sweetly effective, playing it straight as Klump's long-suffering girlfriend, while the writers also manage to include the Fountain of Youth and a giant, sex-mad hamster in the mix. This, and a lot of scatological humour, forms the very silly premise, yet children (and adults with an extremely juvenile sense of fun) will adore it.(Starring:Professor Sherman Klump / Cletus "Papa" Klump / Young Cletus Klump / Anna "Mama" Klump / Ernie Klump / Grandma Klump / Buddy Love / Lance Perkins*Eddie Murphy|Professor Denise Gaines*Janet Jackson|Dean Richmond*Larry Miller|Jason*John Ales|Denise's father*Richard Gant|Denise's mother*Anna Maria Horsford|Leanne Guilford*Melinda McGraw|Ernie Klump Jr*Jamal Mixon|Claudine*Freda Payne) Thursday January 7 2010 21:00 - 23:10
