What happened to his series being on nine or has that deal expired?
Which series?
If they all end up on 6.30pm then I can’t watch it because they’re against SBS News. As a thought why not repeat them on a better time on One. So people wanting to see the HD can. Also people that can’t watch due to the 6.30pm clash also might be able to. All I ask is don’t clash with Supernatural and Star Trek or the like. Probably won’t happen anyway. But just an idea.
Addendum: At the moment Tuesdays 8.30pm have been a dead zone. Might not always be.
Gah! – more reality on Channel Ten! Hope these animals will be better behaved and more interesting to watch than the ones on The Shire.
Well done Ten… at last, some programming not based one puerile comedic/reality claptrap.
make sure they do some cool promo would a modern song maybe gangham style to attractive attention…….
“Africa” – filmed with state of the art cameras but no doubt broadcast in sub-par SD courtesy of Network 10. I’ll wait for the blu-ray.
