Another interesting program to watch/tape is
Ian Rankin's
Doors Open
too much in Aus - but in Kobo India it's an excellent 307.49 rupees (approx AUD5.37) and discountable (bookriot50 works)

For the right man, all doors are open... Mike Mackenzie is a self-made man with too much time on his hands and a bit of the devil in his soul.
He is looking for something to liven up the days and perhaps give new meaning to his existence. A chance encounter at an art auction offers him the opportunity to do just that as he settles on a plot to commit a 'perfect crime'.
He intends to rip-off one of the most high-profile targets in the capital - the National Gallery of Scotland. So, together with two close friends from the art world, he devises a plan to a lift some of the most valuable artwork around.
But of course, the real trick is to rob the place for all its worth whilst persuading the world that no crime was ever committed.
But soon after he enters the dark waters of the criminal underworld he realises that it's very easy to drown...

ABC21 is showing the telemovie adaptation of the book this Sunday (29 Dec) at 8.25pm.
NB: Of course one would need to be spending one's holidays in India or perhaps Norfolk Island or Hong Kong to take advantage of the book at the bargain price.
Edit
Bookriot50 only works on the new Kobo checkout (such as India out of the 3 mentioned)
