- Adam Looking For Eve VIP Harrow

SBS VICELAND, 8.30pm It may be VIP, but good luck finding Aussie viewers who actually recognise the “celebritie­s” taking part in this clothes-free dating extravagan­za. Tonight, season one of the AdamLookin­gForEveVIP premieres, with our resident DJ ditching his clothes and showing off two tattoos of – you guessed it – stars. While local reality-TV dating shows have favoured an influx of cosmetical­ly-enhanced beaus and beauties, this show refreshing­ly celebrates the human form. ABC, 8.30pm Harrow can veer into comedy and perhaps that’s part of its unintended appeal. As forensic pathologis­t Harrow (Ioan Gruffudd, pictured) stares moodily into the distance – ever the genius loner who thumbs his nose at authority – you may feel a laugh coming on. Forensic pathology is serious business, but Harrow’s intensity sometimes borders on the comical. Tonight, Harrow takes on a case at his old high school.
