The SBS atomic doco that is a real bomb
And yet this one-hour doco spends quite a bit of time focusing on what happened before Trinity.
Talk about a case of false advertising.
Other black marks against this doco include interviewing a subject in a noisy bar full of distracting background noise and even having the producer sit down for an interview.
Really? Was there no other way of relaying the information other than interviewing the person making the doco?
It's also sprinkled with very odd phrasing, such as stating that Robert Oppenheimer was between "a rock and a hard spot".
It's "place" - "a rock and a hard place".
My advice? Don't waste your time with this.
This show isn't everyone's cup of tea, which is completely understandable.
Some people just don't respond well to the sight of blood - their own or anyone else's - nor do they like limbs pointed in unnatural ways.
I'm okay with that sort of stuff so I've never had an issue with an episode of Paramedics.
That is until I watched this one.
It features a guy named Charlie who was headed home and decided to take a short cut that involved climbing a fence.
A metal fence. With big pointy spikes on top.
One of those spikes ripped right through his upper arm, and the camera crew has no qualms with showing us what it looks like when the paramedic peels off the bandages.
For the first time in my Paramedics-watching history I had to turn away.
So this episode is definitely not for the squeamish. Though they would be unlikely to get to see Charlie's story.
Before that turns up they'd have to deal with the story of Malcolm, who tripped while carrying a boiling hot crabpot - ending up with burns over most of his body.
This series is a spin-off from the Real Housewives franchise, which seems to feature women who latch onto wealthy men and do little more than have bitchy little fights with each other.
Four of the women from various iterations of that show turn up at the Love Hotel, where the "Love Concierge" has assembled a selection of men for them to date.
Yeah, it's yet another dating show (BTW can you still call them "Housewives" if they're not actually anyone's wife?). This time with the added disgust that the women openly joke about wanting to find the rich guys.
Their method is to focus on the "silver foxes" because, if they're older it means they have more money in the bank.
I long for the days when people would watch a dating show because they actually cared whether the couples found happiness.
These days it's more about conflict than compatibility.
It says it right there in the title - After Trinity - Trinity being the first ever test of an atomic bomb in 1945.

Rebecca Romijn loves The Real Housewives
Rebecca Romijn considers herself to be a Real Housewives superfan. The 52-year-old actress is a huge fan of the reality TV franchise, revealing that her favourite series largely depends on "the cast and season". She told Us Weekly: "For a long time, my favourite Real Housewives franchise was Atlanta, but it shifts between Atlanta, Beverly Hills and New York." Rebecca actually met a lot of the Real Housewives stars at Andy Cohen's baby shower, admitting that she loved the experience. Rebecca - who played Mystique in the original trilogy of X-Men films - shared: "I met almost all of the Housewives at Andy Cohen's baby shower. It was very exciting." The actress has enjoyed significant success in her career, starring in The Punisher and in Star Trek: Strange New Worlds. But Rebecca used to feel overwhelmed by nerves during her early days in the business. She said: "I used to get very nervous for auditions. [Now], I do a lot of deep breathing, which tells my body that everything is fine." Rebecca has been married to actor Jerry O'Connell since 2007, and the loved-up couple recently opened up about their romance, revealing that they have separate bank accounts. During a joint appearance on Andy Cohen Live, the actress shared: "We keep our money completely separate. "That's like one of the first conversations you have when you decide to enter into a legal agreement together." Rebecca explained that they do have one joint fund, but it's only used for their 16-year-old twin daughters. Jerry said: "I have to say, we actually throttle how much money we put into that account sometimes depending on who's working more." Rebecca added: "The one who's not working gets a little bit of a break and the one who is working puts in a little more. And we really tag-team with work." The celebrity duo also ensure that at least one of them isn't working at all times, meaning that they can take care of the twins. The actress explained: "No one else is ever going to raise them besides us."

Real Housewives star accidentally posts X-rated video of footballer husband
Caroline Stanbury's husband, Sergio Carrallo, shockingly appeared in her recent podcast video without any underwear on. The former Real Madrid soccer player walked into the background — completely nude from the waist down — of the Real Housewives of Dubai alum's July 24 episode titled 'The Beauty tips I never told anyone! | Uncut & Uncensored.' Carrallo didn't appear to notice Stanbury was filming as he casually walked into the frame and bent down, giving viewers a clear shot of his bare butt before putting on a pair of yellow shorts, per Page Six. He continued to lurk in the background for a couple more seconds before eventually grabbing his phone and walking away. You can watch the full – explicit – video for yourself above. Stanbury didn't miss a beat and continued to talk to viewers about health tips. She also didn't edit out the X-rated moment from the episode, leading to plenty of comments online. 'Not his peaches and cream on full display,' one Instagram user commented on a video of the cheeky moment. 'He got hella cake,' another praised. But some were not convinced the moment was genuine. 'They set this up. She did this for 'likes.' Anything to drive traffic,' one comment read. 'I think he knew but pretended to be stupid,' another comment read. Stanbury, 49, and Carrallo, 30, have been married since December 2021. He is her second husband. Stanbury was previously married to Cem Habib, 50, for 17 years before they split in 2019. They share three children together. This isn't the first time the reality star has shared intimate parts of her life. In February, she showcased her oozing eyeball in a TikTok video about her experience with a painful eye infection. She and Carrallo ended up having to stay the night at a hospital. 'I've never heard of anything like this in my life. What is intense conjunctivitis?' she asked her followers. 'It's so painful. … It really feels like my eye might burst.'
