Staying In

        TV picks: A herd of skaters flash their blades and spray ice all over the place. It's the World Figure Skating Championships, a biggie because it's the last before next year's Olympics. That makes it a mini-preview of sorts. Skaters to watch in Vancouver include Michelle Kwan from the U.S. and Irina Slutskaya and Maria Butyrskaya from Russia. 9-11 p.m., Channels 9, 2.

        Bond, James Bond: This is the only time Sean Connery returned to his old Bond role. The result is above average, with great support from a villainous Klaus Maria Brandaur and a gorgeous Barbara Carrera. Never Say Never Again, 8-11 p.m., Fox Family Channel.
