@BarrieT its been on repeats for a while now. I am hoping we’ll get some new ones as they were still two years old. 7two is also run out of 60 Minute Makeover and the ones shown now are from 2004.
The BBC should bring their own Lifestyle channel to Australia. South Africa has it why don’t we?
Whats happening to bargain hunt.on 7Two, have they dropped it for good?
