When our host rocks up to the Western Australian wheat belt town of Pingelly in a '74 HQ Holden to chew the fat with AFL great Nicky Winmar, it's as if the two are old friends. They ride their shared wavelength through the former St Kilda player's old stomping ground. His trip down memory lane brings up mixed emotions, especially when recalling the historic moment he challenged racism on the field.

THE LITTLE PARIS KITCHEN

Double episode series return ★★★

Saturday (July 7), 7.30pm, SBS Food Network

British chef Rachel Khoo is back in her teensy Paris flat demonstrating how Parisians might cook at home if they had spent a considerable amount of time in Croydon. With a wink and a perfect crimson pout, she turns croque madame into a muffin, and coq au vin into barbecue skewers. As always, she's a delight and an inspiration to space-challenged cooks.

TODD SAMPSON'S BODYHACK 2.0

★★

Thursday (July 5), 8.30pm, Ten

Sampson might cop some heat for choosing American firefighters for his report on how the body copes with such a dangerous occupation. Surely fighting fires is something we do quite well, and rather frequently, in the sunburnt country? His reasoning is that by studying the members of the youngest fire department in the US, he can better understand the long-term health impacts of the job.
