THE storylines for the ''nerve-jolting'' trilogy Two-Fisted Tales (World 9.30pm, Original Running Time 100 mins) don't sound promising, but the directors' credits do.
Based on the E.C. Comics anthology of the same name, the three stories were directed by Richard Donner, Tom Holland and Robert Zemeckis.
Donner's other directing credits include all three Lethal Weapon films, and The Lost Boys; horror-man Holland gave us Child's Play and Fright Night: and Zemeckis lists the Back to the Future movies and Who Framed Roger Rabbit? on his CV.
First of the tales is Showdown, a journey into America's old wild west. Next up, King of the Road, concerns a 50s drag racing challenge relived after 27 years.
And finally, Yellow is a story of cowardice in the trenches in World War I starring Kirk Douglas and Dan Aykroyd.
THE fourth Test has begun in The Ashes cricket series between England and Australia and Prime Sports has highlights of the first day's play, from Headingley in Yorkshire, at 8am and 10pm.
England must win this match if their Ashes dream is to stay alive. Optimism has been rekindled after Gooch's side - with four first-time players - drew the third Test at Trent Bridge a fortnight ago. That result ended a sequence of seven consecutive Test defeats.
