Bumped: Watergate

Watergate doco moves to later slot on SBS, replaced by Top Ten Mummies Of Egypt.

SBS has pushed the final two episodes of Watergate back on Sunday night to a 10:15pm slot.

This follows the series drawing just 77,000.

In its place is Top Ten Mummies Of Egypt 8:30pm Sunday on SBS.

Professor Bettany Hughes returns with an exciting countdown of her ten greatest Egyptian mummies – and the secrets that lie beneath the bandages. Ancient Egypt has a history like no other – nestling between the desert and the Nile, its extraordinary pyramids, soaring temples, and hidden tombs astonish and captivate. But nothing brings Egypt’s past back to life like the mummies that survive it. Wrapped, embalmed, and buried with treasure for thousands of years, each mummy tells the story of the people – the criminals, priests, children, and pharaohs – who lived the history we’ve come to know.

Previously scheduled Kubrick In His Own Words & Grand Tours of Scotland’s Lochs are out.

  1. Thing is, it was all a fair while back and much water has flowed under the bridge since then in US politics-regardless of how good it is as a series, it was always going to have a limited audience for a primetime slot-even SBS has to appeal to a mass audience (in theory).

  2. This is such an excellent series that I have watched it twice. There are many parallels to the USA today and how easy it is to lose sight of the fact as president that you work for the voters and not yourself.
