  1. I’ve seen this and it’s a very good show. It’s close to something like BGT meets Fool Us. There’s one moment where a Strictly Come Dancing star appears. Since SCD isn’t shown in Australia, the reference might be lost. But it’s very minor. The magic tricks are the main entertainment. It’s a must see for any Penn and Teller fans.

    Even if it’s in a non-priority timeslot, it might be worth importing SCD if Dancing With The Stars rates well. And SCD doesn’t have the ‘only for pensioners’ notion attached to it. It appeals to all age groups.

  2. Cara99L, there are other options, as I discovered after being overly patient for the return of several American and English series. Funnily enough, it was a news article in the Nine masthead, the Sydney Morning Herald, that alerted me to these alternatives back in May last year. Am now up to date with numerous shows we like and are discovering other series of which we never would have been aware. Even YouTube sometimes beats the FTAs in Oz.

  3. Seven will air anything but new Episodes of The Rookie and 9-1-1 so annoying I’ve been waiting for The Rookie Season 5 since it aired in the US in September
