What To Watch

Newswipe with Charlie Brooker, BBC4, 10pm
Much as we dislike the cult of Brooker (not everything he says deserves to be parroted, you middle-class gits), his onanistic obsession and the use of his name in the titles of his shows, this is probably going to be the best show of the evening.

At least, unlike his Screenwipe 'isn't Wipeout stupid?' with Charlie Brooker, Newswipe with Charlie Brooker seems to have a purpose that's slightly above pointing, laughing and making a joke about self-love or monkeys flinging excrement. It mainly seems to be 'all a bit scary', but there's always a good film from Adam Curtis, Ben Goldacre or - in this series - anything-goes Yank stand up Doug Stanhope to help matters along. And as we hypocritically say, there's a lot of annoying rubbish on tonight.
 
How Earth Made Us, BBC2, 9pm
Having met several idiotic geologists in our lifetime (no really, it's true!), tvBite is suprised to find that we rather like Iain Stewart. His enthusiasm for rocks is totally enthralling and he's able to extend his thinking outwards to take in some big ideas. It's unfortunate timing however that the first ep concerns how faultlines and plate tectonics helped humans, when at this point, they've proved to be a double-edged sword.
 
Man City v Man United, BBC1, 8pm
Football, football, football. That's all you ever talk about, isn't it?

Also... Teeth grindingly annoying How To Look Good Naked With A Difference, C4, 8pm sees Gok Wan helping the disabled. What's the 'difference', eh? Never mind, empty headed morons, Psychic Sally, Living, 9pm is on too.


What To Eat

Stuffed Aubergine Moussaka

2 aubergines
500g lamb mince
Glass of red wine
Spoon of tomato purée
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp cumin
40g flour
40g butter
200ml milk
4 tsps of grated parmesan
Tub of ricotta
Pinch of nutmeg
1 clove of garlic, crushed
1 small onion, chopped fine


Cut the aubergine (or eggplant, if you're a weird bastard) in half lengthways and hollow out the centre, leaving about half a cm thickness all round.

Chop up the middle bits. Fry the garlic and onion over a low heat for a few minutes. Then add the mince and separate. After about a minute, add the wine, tomato, cinnamon and cumin. Add the aubergine flesh and cook for 20 minutes over a low heat, stirring all the time.

While that's going on, preheat the oven to 180C. Oil the skins of the aubergine. Divide the filling into your four shells. Put in the oven for 45 minutes.

Mix the butter and flour over a low heat to make a roux. Add the milk and nutmeg and whisk, heating it until it is a smooth paste. Remove from heat, add ricotta and parmesan.

Spoon on top of the aubergine halves. Turn your oven up to 200 and heat for another 30 mins. Done.
