Behave yourself appears to be out next week.
Sophie Monk for the Today show…..she has proved popular on ch10 bachrette….so why not?
Will sort of miss Get Krack!n – actually got to quite like it after a while.
Best things about it are Helen Bidou and poor old Mern.
Gogglebox weighs in tonight.
Look forward to seeing the Goggleboxers’ reactions, esp the girls’.
Bet most of them just don’t get it…
Can safely say much division!
Can imagine! The Kates do tend to polarise.
Same reaction on ABC Tv’s Facebook site..
Great ending for Doctor Doctor, glad to read it will be back next year.
Yet to catch up on the last 2 episodes of The Wrong Girl, but going off the numbers this season I imagine it won’t be returning next year.
Yes, really enjoyed the ending as well – look forward to Season 3 of Doctor Doctor next year.
This show has really grown on me – some great characters and the two leads, Rodger and Hayley, are great.
Just googled her… never realised she was Mandy McElhinney’s sister – definitely a strong family resemblance there.
She also reminds me a lot of Penny Cook as the vet in A Country Practice – same voice and similar character.
Yes she reminded me of Penny Cook, from the start, more so than her sister.
Carrie Bickmore is angry. maybe she could join Karl
What does that mean?
Referring to gossip reports she is unhappy over Lisa’s salary. I deleted the link. All speculative so far given CB has welcomed her on social media.
Chris Bath would be perfect on the TodayShow with Karl. while i like Deb- she is better on weekend today
I just can’t see Chris and Karl working well together.
I think Lisa had a lot of patience for Karl, and Chris is doing great on radio at the moment.
If you balance up evenings or radio, vs. early morning with Karl, no contest.
Noooooooo….
It has to be Leila McKinnon for Today. Bathy is just too “Sunrise”
We can thank Victor Gruen for putting the milk fridge right at the back of the supermarket and Todd Sampson for “Browse at Westfield, Buy on eBay”. Some of Get Krack!n fake news banner items can be offensive. A respectable figure for The Grand Tour on FTA although diehard fans would have seen it elsewhere.
haha! not to mention the fact that Disney has nicked the abc logo, which we paid 25 pounds for!
F***… I forgot to record the Wrong Girl for mum… isn’t it usually in Thursday night? ?
God I hope they repeat it.
It’s usually repeated 10.30pm on Monday on 10 and earlier on either 11 or 1.
It was Thursdays but moved for last 3/4 episodes. I can’t tell if you’re being funny with asking if its repeated. So I’ll go with you being serious. I don’t watch it but Ten usually “Encore” it 4/5 times over Ten & Eleven
Next repeat is Eleven on Friday Night.
You can view it at tenplay.com.au
Such a horrible way to watch shows. Would rather wait days to record the repeat on tv.
I agree. Tenplay is awful
Especially for my mother… I would never subject her to that sort of torture.. thanks to everyone who has helped with the repeated screenings. You guys are legends!
Don’t watch it on tenplay. They cut off the ending. I kept wondering why the final episode ended so strangely. So I checked my pvr recording and the final segment after the last ad break was missing from tenplay! Glad I double checked.
Doubt it will get another season based on those ratings but I liked it for what it was and would’ve returned for season 3.
Big drop for The Today Show, telling?
Behave Yourself ruined itsself the first time around. Not a great show anyway, but should’ve aired well away from big juggernauts.
Basically back to where it was without yesterday’s spike. Will watch with interest.
I know she’s just filling in but Deborah Knight is not the right fit for the show. Interestingly the readers of this site have voted Chris Bath as their first choice (at the time of me writing this) which I 100% agree with – she’s full of personality, likeable and would be great.
Daughter said Chris Bath has been popping up on Studio 10 and elsewhere on TEN. Testing?
So, if Chris does very early mornings with 9 and husband Jim nights on 7 (Sydney), not a good family lifestyle…but then maybe a few $M sort of compensate for that, for some.
It’s more a case of CB is a free agent and enjoying various opportunities. Also been doing ABC and is narrating upcoming doco Keeping Australia Safe.
Yes, Sunrise and Today’s ratings will no doubt be interesting over coming weeks.
And yes, I would love to see Chris Bath get the gig, she’s someone I immediately thought could work well with Karl. Only thing is her identity and age, perhaps Nine’s “new direction” will be younger, completely different personality?
Pretty sure They have chosen Cash Cow……..
