When will you guys air season 6 of swift and shift couriers?
whats the story with the sas documentary ive heard thats showing on sbs in november
December I believe.
I’m glad that season 3 of both East West 101 and the Aussie verision of Who Do You Think You Are are returning. Both are great show.
I also would like to see Swift and Shift Couriers return. I’ve been praising SBS lately, but, without airing this show, i may ‘turn’ agaist them. Please, just air it
More new RocKwiz? ‘New’ Iron Chef?
Swift and Shift will never air on SBS.
The missing season was made in mid-2009.
If they were going to show it they would of done it by now.
SBS paid for S&S, we all want it on, but it is gone!
I don’t care what NEW excuses SBS make.
It is gone.
I hate SBS
Wow they’ve managed to drag out two months worth of programming for six months. Nice one SBS as usual.
Still no mention of Dusty.
Why do they even bother.
When is Entourage returning??
I hope Letters & Numbers returns as well next year. I know it hasn’t done too well but hopefully it’s enough for SBS. I’m enjoying it.
Oh come on! What about Swift n Shift Couriers?! Have been waiting for the new series for ages now!
So they’ve out-laid 6 months worth of programming and not even a mention of Boardwalk Empire?
Typical snail-tracking from SBS.
oh i was hoping they would show ‘The Billing’ season 2. Guess i need to get it on DVD
For God’s sake when do we get New episodes of Rockwiz!
One new drama – East West – 3rd series. That is great but is that it for new drama? A third series of a great idea initiated on Gennys Row’s watch a decade ago? Not very inspiring.
Yet another documentary on Hitler, what a surprise!!
As for SBS launching a third channel, they are kidding, even if it was only a joke. They don’t have enough content for SBS TWO as it is.
