Busy street Desperate Housewives, Star World, 11 a m As usual, much is happening on Wisteria Lane. Teri Hatcher is still into an affair, Eva Longoria's trying to swinde her hus- band.. Marcia Cross is suspecting her new husband of murder. And Felicity Huff- man is willing to help husband open a pizza place.

A seth-type alights from a black Mercedes, wielding a walking stick studded with diamonds. It's the preg- nant one's father. He makes the usual offer to poor son- in-law. Very soapish but it works.. prob- ably because the lead couple is very likeable. Sob. Say it with stones Diamonds are Forever ad Tulip Joshi gets married. The groom lifts her diamond maang-tikka and fills it with kumkum. Joshi's necklace, earrings and maang-tikka glitter in the silvery-golden light.

Make friends with cockroach- es in your home, or call Pest Control. Smart! Pretty woman Ardhangini, Zee TV 11 p m It's based in Kolkata. So there are trade- mark shots of Howrah Bridge, trams trundling down streets and women in red-white saris blowing conch- es. Our lead girl is so, so beautiful, even the apsaras would get a complex (it's what her mohalla guys say, I don't). She's daddy's pet, which of course means her mum and sister can't stand her.
