Doctor Dolittle, Sky Premier, 8.45pm. Eddie Murphy is laughing all the way to the bank after his latest movie Nutty Professor II took a staggering $76million in its first two weeks. After hitting a rocky patch in the late Eighties, it seems the Beverly Hills Cop s ta s is back on fine form with a string of hits to his name. In this 1998 smash, a doctor is terrified to discover he has the ability to talk to animals — especially when his home is taken over by an assort- ment of ailing creatures in need of help. It's not long before the tables are turned a s the medic's behaviour attracts his colleagues


attention — can his furry friends save him from the asylum.
