SCI FI PI

This week sees the beginning of May Mayhem on the SCI FI Channel, with four furious Bat-tastic films every Saturday.

Monday night has all sorts of surprises. First off on Star Trek: The Next Generation, Wesley Crusher makes a return - although, and here's the surprise, in disgrace!

Angel has even bigger surprises at 8.30pm, with Cordelia waking up one morning eight and a half months pregnant! And no, it wasn't gas. A huge twist, in every way, for fans of LA's finest Vampire detective.

Tuesday sees the regular lunchtime triple treat of X-Files, with some truly cool stories, ranging all over the planet, from the fields of Iowa to the icy seas off Norway.

Wednesday and the must-see programme for the night is 10.30pm's Battlestar Galactica. This week's episode looks into the black market on the Colonial fleet, taking twists and turns into every facet of colonial life. BSG just gets better and better, and Season 2 is ranked as the finest Sci Fi of all time for a very good reason.

Thursday's lunchtime triple treat is the Dead Zone, with Johnny Smith stuck on an airplane when he gets visions of, you guessed it, it crashing!

Friday and it's unmissable Season 9 action from Stargate:SG1 and Stargate:Atlantis, from 7.30pm, with the Ori in our galaxy and the Goa'uld in Pegasus. It's a crazy mixed up universe, for sure, but loads of fun.

The film of the week is of course, Batman, with Michael Keaton and Jack Nicholson duking it out in Tim Burton's delightful reinvention of Bob Kane's classic character. Dark, humourous, it's Oscar-winning mayhem for batfans everywhere!

Make sure you catch it, Saturday, May 3 at 1.30pm, 11pm and Sunday, May 4 at 12.30pm.
