GOGGLEBOX AUSTRALIA
Series return ★★★
Gogglebox: Melbourne dads Wayne and Tom tell it like we all wish we could.
8.30pm, Ten
Riding on the success of its third Logie, this reliable reality favourite returns with more television critique that only the average Australian viewer can give. Except that these couch potatoes are anything but average. They might represent a cross-section of telly watchers, but they're all interesting and unique, with plenty to say. Take Melbourne dads Wayne and Tom (pictured), who so often tell it like we all wish we could.
LOCH NESS
Series premiere ★★★★½
8.50pm, ABC
The sweeping shots of the Scottish highlands are more than a visual feast. They adequately set the scene for the deliciously slow untangling of a small town's unsavoury secrets. Homage is neatly paid to the local folklore, with something scary awaiting discovery at the bottom of the loch. On dry land, detectives engage in the standard crime series side plots, pulling rank at work while dealing with sullen teenagers at home, but every exchange is worthwhile.

But what emerges are stories that mirror the sufferings of the hospital's former patients, evocatively illustrated by dreamlike sequences.
