MARTIN CLUNES' ISLANDS OF AUSTRALIA
Acorn TV, 3:00 a.m. ET
MINISERIES PREMIERE: This new series, imported and streamed beginning today on Acorn TV, features Martin Clunes, the British star of the long-time Doc Martin series, who embarks on a three-part documentary series, exploring some of the islands surrounding Australia. He visits 16 of them over this three-part series, having close encounters with such exotic animals as a devil on Tasmania’s Maria Island, a penguin on Phillip Island, lots of joeys (baby kangaroos, pictured) everywhere, and even one of those infamous dingoes on Restoration Island. And Australia is ringed by some 8,000 islands in all, so at the rate he’s traveling, Clunes could continue this series for another 500 years. I did the math.
