MY GOD MAKE IT STOP

Went down an Australian TV rabbit hole on Wikipedia this evening after watching My Brilliant Career, and came across this picture of Australian actress Abigail, and was struck by how similar she looks in this photo to British actress Natalie Dormer. In these photos at least.

Nothing deep to add, simply something I found interesting.

Hi all,

I am on the hunt for a rare 1990 live concert broadcast of Cher's November 1990 concert at the National Tennis Centre in Melbourne. It was shown only once, live and uncut, on the Sky Channel and I am hoping someone out there taped and saved it in their collections that would be willing to share a copy with me. I have been scouring the web for over a decade now in search of this performance. Attached is a clip of the concert posted to YouTube last year. If your copy is still in analog format and would need help digitizing your footage, please let me know. I would be glad to take care of digitizing it for you!

I really hope someone can help me with this! If you'd rather remain anonymous, feel free to DM me on here and I will remain discreet.

Thanks in advance!

Watching the traitors Australia at the moment and I am so absolutely sick of the use of obviously AI music all the time. These networks have a huge opportunity to promote and pay local Australian artists, and are instead cutting corners with AI slop. I know music royalties can be expensive, but I think that money should be invested into local artists, especially when we spend so much money generally on ‘supporting’ Aussie artists.

As a millennial who has grown up In the age of apps. This is without a doubt the most dogshit app of all so far. God forbid I would want to watch a show.
Fuck you binge….. your fucked an you can go get fucked

SBS WorldWatch will stop broadcasting on channel 35 on 18 September 2026. SBS will continue to provide foreign news programs via SBS OnDemand.

Is it just me or does anyone else find this frustrating?

So they’ve officially switched from Viceland back to SBS2. Today’s programming is 90% news, up until mid afternoon, then it’s a break for some episodes of hoarders, back to more news again. A bunch of stuff about vampires, followed by some sex shows at 1am, before repeating the same block structuring the next day.

Viceland was one of the best FTA channels when it first launched, the docos Vice make were always pretty top tier and even better being available for free. It sucks seeing that it appears all that Vice programming is gonna disappear. Hopefully another channel or streaming service strike a deal, otherwise Australian won’t have any legal means of watching Vice content, besides what they put on their YouTube.

What is everyone’s initial opinion on the relaunch of SBS2?

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??

THE BLOCK contestants Chantel & Wyatt interview

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.

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

Since 2023, there’s been no legal full-coverage broadcaster for Ligue 1 (or Ligue 2, Ligue 3, Coupe de France) in Australia or the Pacific. I’m running an independent survey to gauge whether a dedicated streaming service would make sense here — and I’d love your input! 2 minutes, fully anonymous, no official affiliation. Your answers will genuinely help move this project forward. Thanks in advance 🙏

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

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

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. :(

Does anyone remember this tv show?? God it was my sensual awakening hahahaha

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.
