World has announced the launch of a new comedy 'Becker'
starring Ted Danson. The show will air every Monday at 7
and 10:30 pm from 5 August.
Becker is a dedicated, outspoken and talented doctor with
a gruff exterior. He is not good at building up personal
relationships, preferring to dedicate his energy towards
his medical practice in the Bronx, New York, where he always
goes the extra mile to help those in need.
He is dissatisfied with modern society and often airs his
views at the local diner where Reggie (Terry Farrell), the
woman who inherited the place, takes his rants in her stride.
Another character in the show, Jake, played by Alex Desert
who is the blind proprietor of the local newsstand, is used
to John and does his best to explain the Becker phenomenon
to others. Danson received a Golden Globe nomination for
his role.
For those who count themselves as Danson fans, the fourth
season of the sitcom 'Cheers' featuring him is currently
running Mondays to Fridays at 4 pm on the channel.

World is also set to unleash action with the weekly 'Mutant
X' that premieres on 17 August at 6:30 pm and 10 pm and
will air every subsequent Saturday. Creation of Richard
Donner, the director of 'Lethal Weapon', Mutant X is a sleek,
fast-paced new age series, exploring the world of genetic
engineering. The show chronicles the adventures of Mutant
X, a team of human mutants possessing extraordinary powers
as a result of genetic engineering. Like hundreds of other
unsuspecting subjects, these new mutants were altered in
secret experiments conducted in a covert government project.
Realising that events have spun out of control, the organization
that created them is now hunting them down in an urgent
"product recall." Mutant X's mission is to seek out their
fellow new mutants to help them come to terms with their
astonishing abilities and protect them from their creators.
The show stars John Shea, Victoria Pratt, Victor Webster
and Lauren Lee Smith.
