How was none of Chris Lilleys shows in the top 70 Aus tv shows ? What a joke of a list not one of summer heights high or Jonah or Jamie made the list , how is that possible??

I am looking for information regarding an episode of Spicks and Specks. A version of April Sun In Cuba was sung in Spanish by an amazing band ! I cannot get it out of my head and I really want to find it.

Does anyone notice theres like a heap of British News Presenters on ABC Australia. Sarah Fergusson, Ros Childs, Catherine Murphy (although shes irish). Theres also quite alot of other overseas accented journalists, which is fine we are a multicultural country. but i dont really understand why, why so many british in particular. our universities are pumping out journalism grads who im sure have struggled to find a place in australian journalism yet we are just drowning in British voices on our national broadcaster. Is the ABC in general just crawling with loads of ex BBC staff and british people who have emigrated?

I don't think it's unreasonable to expect to hear Australian accents on the ABC from the on air talent. There are many talented multicultural Australian born jounralists with Australian accents they could put on their air.

Just thinking how problematic Biggest Loser is, yes we all watched the show religiously not only did it destroy people’s lives on the inside but also destroyed lives on the outside too.

For example, temptation, instead of an all or nothing mentality, why couldn’t they play temptation in a way that they might have a chocolate bar worth 50 calories and know when to stop, they could have easily subtracted that 50 calories from that days food intake, if the contestant ate 1,000 calories in the temptation room, yes that would be a concern, 50 calories is not.

The weight disadvantages team would receive too, it would hit harder for a lighter competitor compared to a heavier competitor. And people who started the competition off on the lighter end weighing maybe around 100kg, once they reach their goal weight or get close to it, it actually becomes dangerous for them to keep dropping high enough numbers to stay above the yellow line.

Yes morbid obesity is not healthy and is a huge issue, but neither is losing 10kg in a week, yes the contestants needed to lose weight but slowly maybe one kg maximum a week would have been better. Extreme weight-loss is not normal and shouldn’t be encouraged at all.

And if a contestant had a huge weight loss one week, and then a low one the following week, your body cannot keep pulling off these numbers in a healthy manner. And sometimes losing that extra 100 grams, could be something as simple as doing a poo.

And people on the outside watching the show, we would do exercises while watching the show, or go on these diets, and if we didn’t we were made to feel guilty for enjoying a piece of chocolate or some takeaway once in a blue moon.

Any other problematic things or specific scenarios you can think of, drop them down below

The episode is in Vic, Shepparton and my cousin Jay gets caught on it for meth or something. I've been looking for a while can anyone help me pls

Yep I'm old LOL

But there is somthing wholesome about TV shows that have a great Aussie actors base

Watching Cylone tracy from 1986 at the moment

Does anyone else remember this on the ABC?

Produced by Ben Gannon, the creator of Heartbreak High.

Five twenty-somethings win a $20K grant each to fund their project, and they live in a funky Sydney share house.

It starred:

* Freya Stafford as Basia, a documentary filmmaker

* Ryan Johnson and Garth Holcombe as Ryan and Seth, inventors of something to do with bike gears

* Gareth Yuen as Loc, a website developer which helps refugees

* David Hoflin and Nadia Townsend as Patrick and Clare, country siblings with a tabby farm

* Megan Dorman as Katherine, a music composer

It’s etched in my brain and I never see it talked about! I wish the ABC would put it on iView.

I thought channel 93 was meant to broadcast 9GO in SD/MPEG2, but seems to be HD according to my TV, and is not tuning in on my old SD PVR. :(

Interested in watching more Greek shows but don’t want to have to get Foxtel to watch the antenna channel.

Is there another way to view the Antenna channel? Is there an app or Greek box that has Antenna?

Thank you!

Hey everyone - has anyone watched the tv series Prosper? It is on Stan and I was interested in watching it as I think it is very loosely based on Hillsong ( I just watched the Hillsong doc on Prime).

The show started off slow but it was so good! After episode 3 I was hooked! Does anyone know if we will get a season 2?

What are people’s thoughts on the show? It had pretty great acting! I haven’t seen any discussion on it.
