The Girl with Three Months to Live, Saturday 8pm
Make sure you have your popcorn and tissues ready for another emotional instalment from Lizzie, Jaddi and Samantha this Saturday. The Channel 6 documentary, which topped the ratings for two weeks running, has been moved to the earlier slot of 8pm to take Saturday’s prime-time spot.
In tomorrow night’s episode, the girls will be leaving the elephant sanctuary and heading by boat to Vietnam. Hopefully they won’t find themselves stranded by any roadsides (or riverbanks) this week! But the question on everyone’s lips this week has to be – are there romantic rumblings going on between Lizzie and cameraman Ben?

Columnist Jo Herrington talks about her TV choices for the weekend
There is only one show I’ll be watching this weekend, and that’s the show everyone is talking about – episode 4 of The Girl with Three Months to Live! It seems everywhere I go people are chatting to me about Lizzie and the girls, and for good reason. This show is seriously addictive viewing. I’ll admit to being on the fence about The Girl with Three Months to Live when it first aired in January, but after watching Lizzie tell her heartbreaking story of losing her best friend, Ethan, aged 9, (episode 2), I was hooked. If the sneak peeks from Channel 6 are anything to go by, then this week we’ll be watching Lizzie, Samantha and Jaddi’s last week in Southeast Asia. I can’t wait to see what’s been happening with Ben and Lizzie. Even from Ben’s position behind the camera there are some serious sparks flying between that pair. Join me on Twitter tonight to share your thoughts about the show. #TGWTMTL

The Girl with 2 months to Live
One month has already flown by for Lizzie Appleton – the star of Channel 6’s The Girl With Three Months to Live – who was diagnosed with an untreatable brain tumour and given just three months to live. Lizzie and her friends, Samantha Jeffrey and Jaddi Patel, will now travel from Southeast Asia to Australia for the next leg of their journey.
It was a rocky start to their travels with Lizzie collapsing from a seizure in episode 1, and the girls being stranded by the roadside in episode 2. But things have calmed down in the last two episodes as the girls spent a week working at an elephant sanctuary in the Cambodian jungle, trekking the Ho Chi Minh trail in Vietnam, and snorkelling off the coast of Thailand. Far from seeing a dip in viewing figures, the show’s popularity has continued to climb ahead of their time in Australia and Lizzie’s plans to meet with old flame, Harrison Kelly.
