Here’s one for the history books…
On Sunday night Seven will stick with true crime by screening Crime Investigation Australia: Most Infamous with a look at the disappearance of Donald Mackay.
Crime Investigation Australia originally ran on Foxtel, hosted by Steve Liebmann from 2005 – 2009.
It was later replayed on Nine and repackaged as Crime Investigation Australia: Most Infamous, largely on 7TWO in 2018.
Now Crime Investigation Australia: Most Infamous S2 gets a prime slot at 8:30pm Sunday, while sadly the first run drama Between Two Worlds screens in a double episode from 10pm – midnight.
“The Donald Mackay Disappearance” originally screened on Foxtel in 2009.
Donald Bruce Mackay was an Australian businessman. He was also a prominent substance abuse campaigner who came to media attention and fame in 1977. Then he was murdered.
8:30pm Sunday on Seven.
Corrected.

Actual madness 7 thinks Between viewers want to hang around to midnight…move it late but stop with this quick burn of dramas with weekly double eps until midnight. Gave up on final season of Parenthood some years back due to similar nonsense.
Maybe Between could be screened again as single eps at 8:30pm on 7TWO in a few months, what harm?
To screen first-run drama past 11pm is an utter mockery of quota system too.
Yeah it’s ridiculous. I hope this crime special rates poorly
This episode has been updated with new information.
“Donald Bruce Mackay (13 September 1933 – 15 July 1977) was an Australian businessman. He was also a prominent substance abuse campaigner who came to media attention and fame in 1977”. Be good if Seven would credit Wikipedia as their writer these days.
