Judith Lucy could serve crap in a bowl and make it look entertaining, either that or make it the first instalment of Big Brother.

David, any news on a second series of Crownies? I love the show and there’s only a few weeks left.
Not yet. Should know in last week of Nov.
Any word on more At Home with Julia? Love Hamster, but ‘Julia’ made my year. Anyone know?
Hooray,as long as The Chaser will be here in 2012,i don’t care about the rest.
Always happy to see The Chaser boys, and I think The Hamster Wheel is a cracking show. I’m less enthused about Judith Lucy – I’d really need to know what they’re planning.
I preferred The War and CNNNN to the Hamster Wheel. HW is pretty run-of-the-mill IMO, the only part I genuinely found clever was that sketch they did on The Slap.
“Hamster Wheel is the boys at the height of their game”
Maybe, but they seem boring and predictable following Gruen Planet . Similar idea but Gruen executes it so much better.
I can’t believe that the Age panned the Hamster Wheel. IMO it has been one of the few highlights of 2011.
Hamster Wheel is the boys at the height of their game, WoE alienated so many older, more conservative viewers whereas Hamster feels at least the tiniest bit more mature, and without the in-your-face nature of it. Kudos to them!
I hope its more hamster wheel
it has become my favorite chaser show ever
Hamster Wheel is my favourite show of 2011!!!
I’ve been missing my dose of Rake, it was just brilliant! Can’t wait to see Woodley, is there an estimate for when it might air next year?
More Judith Lucy, excellent news! Hamster Wheel has been very entertaining as opposed to the tired stunts of “War”.
