We’ve been the free to air Aussie home of 8 out of 10 Cats for many years now and it’s a cross generational audience favourite. So, we’re giving viewers more of what they love with Never Mind the Buzzcocks and Have I Got News for You? U.S. providing a night of jam-packed entertainment to start the week right.”

  1. Also on Monday, Viceland will be airing the unaired episodes of Celebrity Letters and Numbers, that there were dumped earlier in the year. Will air at 6pm for the whole week.

  2. I’m so excited that Buzzcocks is coming to Aus Finally! Back in the day we used to watch old eps on YouTube. Hilarious show, and a perfect match for Cats does Countdown. Yay!
