AT HER PEAK, the actress Demi Moore was known as "Gimme" Moore. Those demands may have subsided a little as her films in recent times - The Juror, The Scarlet Letter and Striptease - have failed to match the success of her earlier offerings such as Ghost, Disclosure and Indecent Proposal. Can she regain her position as one of the world's most powerful actresses? Find out as she is profiled in today's Femmes Fatales (1pm Sky Premier).

Lee David Zlotoff helms The Spitfire Grill (8.30pm Sky Premier), a superior weepie showing on satellite for the first time tonight. Fresh out of jail, Percy (Alison Elliott) forms a bond with a moody restaurant owner (Ellen Burstyn, right). Without being a masterpiece, this film is a great and positive advertisement for the good old-fashioned virtues of solid writing and acting.
