They are all fake ! Especially the new ones.
Not all if them…some of them might be, but there are many who are truly down-to-Earth and have real reactions & conversations.
I see rstings were huge for the chase last night…im taking credit as i was one of the contestants! I lost ?lol….
I saw your episode Steve. You did well. Of all the male Chasers, Brydon “The Shark” Coverdale is the most astute of the lot. Is it hard to become a contestant on the show?
I only caught a few minutes of Fridays ep, thought it may have been a repeat ? I only saw one contestant, a very good looking fair haired guy ?
James Bond nearly 200k metro on 9Gem last night! Forever favourites.
Bond movies were on Tuesday and Wednesday as well. I see they have Octopussy on tonight. A bit of relief from all the bad news going on.
9Gem are airing a promotion “21 Bonds in 21 Days”, half way through at the moment
Since there’s 24 Bond Movies, are they not showing the last 3 Daniel Craig ones? or they skipping 3 others?
How many people watched Googlebox? I can’t see it up there.
Apologies, amended.
Interesting to see where the ratings go on Friday and Saturday since every evening for Australians is the same now in shutdown (as in everyone is housebound). Now would be a good time to refresh your Friday and Saturday nights FTA for a few weeks….. Can I put in a request to TEN to get the rights back to show Thank God Your Here? please?
All repeats, couldn’t film new episodes
Absolutely repeats, but something different to factual encores and the same movie reruns.
Some hilarity on a Saturday night is perfect now, open the wine, sit back and laugh 🙂
We do that with the TV off. Talk, laugh, relax and down a wine or two or three!
As long as you don’t have visitors!
Well this is TV Tonight, where we come to talk about TV. And since you aren’t allowed to invite me around to yours, the alone people in isolation might want that laugh on a Saturday
I’m assuming you mean repeats of Thank God You’re Here. Or Ten could get the rights to a wider range of stand up comedy shows rather than just repeating the same ones over and over again as they do now. That would benefit comedians too. For example I’ve seen Kitty Flanagans 2014 show on TV three times but I’d love to see some of her other shows. I do understand why comedians would normally be reluctant to release their shows for broadcast but nothing is normal anymore.
I got an email from 7plus telling me what we could watch including A Country Practice ? and Headland which never finished airing whenever it was broadcast more than 10-15 years ago! I had a giggle ?
Always fascinating to watch heritage programming.
They could also put HYBPA? repeats on. They never get repeated after the first week and there aren’t any episodes on Tenplay.
HYBPA? is very time dependent. It’s about the news of the week….
That’s very true, but I’d reckon the joke answers, the interactions between contestants and from Tommy G are what makes the show the joy it is, so it would stand up to repeated viewings despite the dated news therein. They could just put up a little note “originally aired dd/mm/yyyy” or something.
