Turbo: A Power

Rangers Movie

Cartoon Network, 6pm

Combining low-budget sci-fi, low-concept martial arts and lowbrow slime humour, Turbo tells the story of an alien pirate queen's attempt to capture an alien wizard so she can free her demon fiance, get married and rule the universe. The Power Rangers have to stop her, of course, but one of them also has to win a martial arts competition so he can save an orphanage or something. Scenes of demon possession might concern some parents.

Cold Blood

Discovery, 7.30pm

This classy crime documentary series has a particularly creepy case tonight - that of former Indiana state trooper David Camm, who in 2002 was convicted of murdering his wife and two young children. Soon after the conviction, however, Camm's lawyers uncovered evidence that pointed towards a foot-fetishist sex offender and Camm was quickly released. Almost immediately, though, further evidence emerged suggesting Camm and the sex fiend might have been working together. Police, prosecutors and defence lawyers talk about the many twists, turns and bungles in the investigation.

Hell's Kitchen USA

Lifestyle, 8.30pm

Gordon Ramsay's debonair maitre d', Jean-Philippe, takes centre stage tonight, unintentionally sinking his boss's cooking competition show even deeper into farce. He starts off by walking face-first into a glass door (Ramsay: "Open your eyes, you Belgian twat").
