 Xena: Warrior Princess, Ten Capital, 8.30pm:  

   If only Lucy Lawless could gain another role apart from that of Xena  
she has such a dramatic range: goodness, badness, coquettishness,
snarlingness, kick 'em in the goolies-ness.  

   In this action-packed, voyeuristic episode, Xena swaps bodies with her
arch- enemy Callisto, who while not as voluptuous as Xena, still is
politically incorrect enough to be gorgeous. It ends with Castillo-Xena
having left Xena-Castillo still in the underworld so next week, the two
sirens will swap bodies again. Confused? Don't worry, it's only the plot.  

   What does concern me is that Xena, Castillo and second-banana
Gabrielle, never, ever change their clothes. Xena is always stuck in her
form-fitting leather armour. No wonder she has such a bad temper, the
warrior woman must be always so hot and bothered.  

   Our rating: sweaty viewing. David Sibley
