One in 10 nurses employed in Australia actually comes from the UK. This month, 10-part docuseries Nurses Down Under follows some of those selfless men and women working around the clock in three of Sydney’s most frequented hospitals, miles away from their loved ones. At St Vincent’s, perioperative nurse Nakita scrubs in to assist neurosurgical registrar Dr Tim Lukins. Sadly, sometimes the only course of action is to help provide quality of life when a patient’s condition proves incurable. Such is the case with father-of-three Chris, who has been brought in for his fourth brain surgery in the space of a year. “Unfortunately, the prognosis is not excellent,” Dr Lukins tells Nakita. “This is not a tumour that we can cure, so everything that we’re doing is to give him…

Appearing alongside longtime judges Dame Prue Leith and Paul Hollywood, Hammond admits that the role has been an absolute dream come true. “It’s weird, but I felt like this was something I was always meant to do,” she says. “When I found out I’d got it, I was proper excited… Matt sent me a ‘good luck’ voice note, which was really lovely.” After some criticism about the challenges featuring too much cooking and theme weeks being culturally insensitive at times, this season sees the show go…

MARGARET’S TOP PICK BARBIE (PG) Available from November 15 It’s fitting that this very girlie movie was produced, co-written and directed by women.

It’s always been a massive event in the AFL off-season that I always go to with the family. It’s always a good time to go there and to be able to experience the circuit and F1 first-hand. Which drivers do you follow and why? You have…

JULIA (s2) Starts EXPRESS November 16, Thursdays from 8.30pm and watch On Demand Showcase [112] I have always suffered from low self-belief. My three brothers were all quite intellectual, while I was a bit dippy as a child. I just went ’round singing, ‘La, la, la,’ and doing handstands. The best my mother hoped for me was that I would meet a nice man, settle down and have children. My twin is a doctor and I drive him mad, but he makes me see the funny side of things. I don’t take myself too seriously, but I take my acting very seriously. I live on my nerves when I’m working. While I’m shooting I get ‘telly belly’ – can’t eat and go to the loo nine times a day. Whatever we filmed that day,…
