10pm, Nip/Tuck, FX
Ah, the Nip/Tuck writers, what a rum bunch they are. It’s almost like they have a big book of taboo subjects that they are slowly working their way through. This week they reach the ‘I’ section – now what comes under ‘I’? Ah yes, incest. Messed-up Matt’s the poor soul landed with this storyline, and if that’s not enough to leave you reeling you can also look forward to the moment when Julia confronts Eden about the small matter of being poisoned by her.
