With Adam Worth under tight security back at the Sanctuary, Magnus discloses the turbulent beginnings he shares with The Five.
New tonight: The Ron James Show on CBC with Christian Potenza and Deb McGrath.
Canada’s favourite comedian talks about the pros and cons of travel; tries to convince his wife of the benefits of house swapping, even with an unexpected guest; and asks a friend for help rather than face the consequences of telling the truth to a new girlfriend. Larry Garibaldi teaches some politicians a lesson on the environment and Lil Ronnie realizes that it just doesn’t pay to cheat, no matter how much you want something. And in his latest Ode to the Road, Ron pays tribute to his second home, Toronto, and tries to convince the rest of the country to give The Big Smoke a chance. Guest cast: Christian Potenza, Deb McGrath.

- “18 to Life” pushes the boundaries on sex and stirs up controversy south of the border
“Interviewed together, the “18 to Life” ensemble – which also includes Peter Keleghan and Ellen David as Jessie’s white collar parents – evince great pleasure in ribbing each other and stepping on each other’s’ lines. For example, Seater’s revelation that one episode will showcase Tom’s “jewelry bag” prompts a series of snarky one-liners from his cast-mates, which he accepts with downcast eyes.” Read more.
