Underbelly, Rush, The Jesters, Lowdown, Talkin' 'Bout Your Generation and Dance Academy are some of the TV shows up for Australian Writers' Guild Awards.
Since the first season of SBS Drama The Circuit, Australia has had an Intervention and said 'Sorry.' As writer Kelly Lefever explains to TV Tonight, it put a lot of pressure on a second season.
In 2008-2009 there were less hours of drama series produced than 07-08, but more in local mini-series and children's. The state of the Aussie TV drama production still gets a big tick.
TV Tonight talks to SBS Director of Content Matt Campbell about losing Top Gear, plus his thoughts on East West 101, Big Love, foreign-language, SBS TWO and much more.
In the final quarter of the year and into 2010, SBS has new seasons of Big Love, The Circuit, Swift & Shift Couriers, RocKwiz, Trawlermen and John Adams.
Updated: At the country's best scriptwriting gongs there were accolades for The Circuit, Saved and First Australians, Rush, Home & Away and Review with Myles Barlow.
