Boxing Day Programming

2:00pm Saturday, December 26 on TV One

TV ONE's Boxing Day line-up sees a variety of fun-filled, musical entertainment, including Cirque De Soleil: Lovesick, An Audience With Kylie Minogue, and ABBA: The Mamma Mia! Story, as well as classic movies.

Cirque Du Soleil: Lovesick (at 2pm) is the award-winning, reality-based drama that explores the eccentric lives of Sin city's most provocative performers, from Lewis Cohen, the director of the Emmy Award-winning Fire Within. Set in Las Vegas during the creation of the erotic show Zumanity The Sensual Side Of Cirque Du Soleil, the film tells the dramatic story of the talented artists whose flesh and creativity are centre stage in this new show.

At 4pm, An Audience With Kylie Minogue is an entertainment show that sees members of a celebrity audience ask Kylie some probing and funny questions, in between her singing songs from her new album, as well as some of her greatest hits.

ABBA: The Mamma Mia! Story (at 5pm) explores the global appeal of the ultimate feel-good musical Mamma Mia! Inspired by the story-telling magic of ABBA's timeless songs, Mamma Mia! is one of the musical phenomena of the last decade. From a smash-hit in London to a worldwide sensation, the stage production of Mamma Mia! was translated into eight languages; seen by more than 30 million people in 170 cities around the globe; and grossed £1.5 billion at theatre box offices. Now, a motion picture starring Meryl Streep, Pierce Brosnan, Colin Firth and Julie Walters, the Mamma Mia! success story keeps on going. ABBA: The Mamma Mia! Story includes extensive clips and exclusive interviews with the film's stars, as well as behind-the-scenes footage. ABBA members Bjorn Ulvaeus and Benny Andersson also feature.

Australian movie The Castle follows the story of Darryl Kerrigan and his family. Darryl (Michael Caton, Packed To The Rafters) runs a tow truck business, while Sal (Anne Tenney, Always Greener), his wife, is a terrific cook and loves to make and decorate things. They have three sons, Steve (Anthony Simcoe, Underbelly), Dale (Stephen Curry, The Secret Life Of Us) and Wayne (Wayne Hope, Stupid Stupid Man), and even though Wayne is in jail for armed robbery, the family still love him and are eagerly waiting for his release. However, the real pride of Darryl's life is his daughter Tracey (Sophie Lee, Muriel's Wedding). When she married Con Petropoulous (Eric Bana, Troy), it was the proudest day of Darryl's life.
