Series Return: CSI: New York (TV3, 8.30, 5.1) The CSI spin-off resumes from episode 15 of season six, in which a legendary racer dies after his car explodes on a New York street just two days before a big race. Guest stars include soap opera vet-cum-car race driver Antonio Sabato Jr (The Bold and the Beautiful) and driver Danica Patrick. CSI Files reports the New York crew constructed part of a race track on one block of downtown Los Angeles and quoted Sabato as saying: “It’s been phenomenal. They brought in Formula cars [and] 500 extras … We’ve been working late, but it’s been awesome. I’m wearing a race suit every day and hanging out with race car drivers and Danica Patrick.” ✭✭✭✩

Movie: Sunshine (TV3, 10.25, 5.1, R) Only sci-fi diehards will enjoy this trip to the malarkey side of the sun (it has to be re-ignited with a nuclear payload).

Slumdog Millionaire’s Danny Boyle directs another screenplay by his 28 Days Later ... scribe Alex Garland, who’s also penned Dredd 3D (which opens here on October 4 and, like Sunshine, stars another Kiwi, Karl Urban).

This episode of CSI:NY was one of the worst ever, largely due to the inauthentic car racing content. The clowns responsible for this wouldn’t know a Grand Prix car from a peddle car. Did they even consult real car racing people?
