The secret genius of the air fryer is revealed

This is the start of the third season of this engaging series that looks into the origins of everyday items. Host Hannah Fry will take the long view in explaining things, which is what makes the series so good. Take the investigation into air fryers, which have only been around for a little while. Fry's story goes as far back as World War II and a US Navy pilot's efforts to work out a way of serving a hot meal in the skies. His invention was quickly taken up by passenger airlines and ultimately ended up providing the quick cooking capabilities in the air fryer. That is using heated air similar to the standard oven in your kitchen (yeah, despite the name, there is no frying going on) but, because the air fryer is much smaller the cooking time is decreased. What also helps that speedy cooking time are those ridges at the bottom, which circulate the air around the food. Back in 1999 when the original series under this name aired it was a bit of a big deal. The BBC had splashed the cash to bring dinosaurs to life with some pretty good special effects for a TV show. And it paid off in terms of ratings, with the show becoming one of the most popular science programs ever. The same can't be said of this 2025 revamp. The world of special effects has moved forward a whole lot since 1999, with people expecting so much more realism. And realism is a real problem for the new version of Walking With Dinosaurs. The effects that bring the dinos here are pretty unimpressive and sometimes even look a little dodgy. At no stage in this episode did I think "wow, those dinosaurs look real". They always, always, always look fake. It feels as though the makers realised the special effects were not up to scratch. The show regularly cuts away from the dinosaurs and to scenes of palaeontologists digging up fossils (though they appear to be re-enacting the moment of their discovery for the camera). The two stories are meant to be linked - the palaeontologists are digging up the bones of the dinosaurs we see in the special effects scenes. But it doesn't really come off and instead feels the former is padding out time because the latter aren't good enough on their own to hold up the show. Binge-watchers will be pleased that all six episodes of this show have been let loose on 7Plus at the same time. That's a good thing because Stags is an unusual show that draws you in. It's kind of like a nightmarish version of The Hangover movies in that it features a big party that goes very, very badly. Here Stu is away in an unnamed South American country on his bucks party - called a Stag night in other parts of the world. Much fun is being had until it all goes pear-shaped when one of their number gets busted trying to sneak a belly full of drugs out of the country. That sees the lot of them end up in prison. But not just any prison, it's a jail on an island run by two warring siblings. You want anything - even food or medical attention - it costs money. And the doctor on the island doesn't mind a little organ harvesting of prisoners. The jail scenario doesn't make a lot of sense when you think about it, but the dark comedy and the endearing nature of the eight idiots abroad make it easy to overlook that.

The Block 2025: Channel Nine under fire after fans notice 'irresponsible' Scott Cam detail in new trailer for hit renovation series

Channel Nine has come under fire after fans of The Block noticed an "irresponsible" detail in the trailer for the new 2025 hit renovation series. The Block is expected to return to screens in August, with a fresh round of Blockheads this year building homes from scratch in the Victoria town of Daylesford before each one goes under the hammer for a grand prize. In a fun-packed teaser shared on the renovation show's social media accounts on Wednesday, Scotty Cam and Shelley Craft are seen sounding the horns of two big red trucks en route to the new countryside location. The co-hosts are joined by The Block's famous troupe, including former contestant turned foreman Dan Reilly and real estate agent Marty Fox. Judge Darren Palmer also made a cameo appearance riding a horse shirtless and, in true county theme, declared, "Howdy man". However, fans were quick to notice that Scotty and Shelley were not wearing seatbelts while driving the trucks and lashed out at the detail. "Probably should have put ya seatbelts on," one viewer wrote. Another person questioned, "Where are your seatbelts?" while a third person asked, "Why aren't they wearing their seatbelts, Nine?" One more viewer said Channel Nine was "irresponsible" for showing the TV figures not wearing the crucial safety feature. "How irresponsible of Channel 9 to advertise in prime time, showing celebrities driving on country roads and not wearing seatbelts," they said. "Clearly not aware of the road toll related to driving on rural roads." It's unclear whether Scotty and Shelly were driving the trucks or the scene was created using CGI, with some fans convinced of the latter. "They're not actually driving... watch the windows on the driver's side same scenery," one fan wrote. "It's obviously CGI," another person added. Elsewhere in the trailer, the new 2025 Blockheads were introduced to fans awaiting the return of the top-rated series. Emma and Ben, Can and Han, Robby and Matt, Alicia and Sonny, Brit and Taz enthusiastically jumped out of the back of one of the trailers in pairs. Scotty said a "truckload of fun" awaited the contents, who will undergo the tough job of building homes from scratch in a dramatic series first. The move marks a pivotal step away from the previous series stars competing against each other to renovate a home and sell it at an auction. The premise remains that the couple who wins the highest price at auction receives a grand monetary prize to help set them up for life. The Block has continuously built a strong lead in the prime-time TV ratings, surging ahead of Seven's My Kitchen Rules and The Voice. has contacted Channel Nine for comment.
