The Actually Really Very Difficult Show
Channel 9âs Kidâs program, The Actually Really Very Difficult Show, in production at Nine Queenslandâs Mount Coot-tha studios
ARE YOU THE SMARTEST PERSON ALIVE?
FIND OUT WHEN THE NEW SERIES OF THE ACTUALLY REALLY VERY DIFFICULT SHOW PREMIERES
MONDAY, OCTOBER 21, AT 7.30AM AEST ON 9GO! AND 9NOW
The Actually Really Very Difficult Show , the ultimate kids quiz and challenge-based TV show, returns to put Aussie children in the driverâs seat to outsmart, outwit and outdo the adults, on Monday, October 21, at 7.30am AEST on 9Go! and 9Now.
In each episode, The Actually Really Very Difficult Show will showcase one of four exceptional children â AKA the Smartest People Alive â who tackle complex subjects amid the twists and turns orchestrated by a different school who actually make the show really, very, difficult.
From animals to Australiana, pop culture to history, sport to science, and food to plants, each themed episode promises a blend of educational depth and captivating entertainment.
And of course, no show like this is complete without the ultimate challenge, changing weekly and daring enough to even get the hosts eating a banana drenched in hot sauce â sure to elicit âyucksâ from viewers.
Executive Producer and Programming Manager at Nine Queensland, Geoff Cooper, said: âIâm thrilled to see this hybrid show return for another season, and I can confidently say that itâs been elevated to a whole new level. Our dedicated team behind this production have added an extra twist with the introduction of the Smartest People Alive, injecting excitement and fun into every episode.
âThe Actually Really Very Difficult Show not only enriches our programming at Nine Queensland but also promises to make a meaningful connection with young audiences across Australia.â
One of the Smartest People Alive, creative and clever Kellan, said: âWorking on this show has been the best! Iâm pumped for other kids to watch how we challenge the adults with crazy challenges. Get ready, because what weâve got lined up is going to blow your mind.â
The Actually Really Very Difficult Show will air weekdays from Monday, October 21, 7.30am AEST on 9Go! and 9Now.

Just notice The O.C. is being repeated on 9GO! at late nights usually on Mondays, Thursdays and Fridays. Nine showed the pilot in 2004 before dropping it. Ten then bought the series from Nine (which had a distribution deal with Warner Bros at the time) and managed to make it a hit on Tuesday nights.

Nine has bought the fifth season of Booba. The childrenâs animated series currently airs at 6.30am weekdays and 7am weekends on 9GO!.
The movie New Yearâs Eve is scheduled on 9Go at 7:30pm but Novakâs match has just started. I guess late movie? Or will they move the match?

Iâd imagine itâll just be delayed, commencing upon completion of the match

Good thing for Nineâs broadcast and live stream on 9Go! then, unless some wish to rent for a few bucks on iTunes, YouTube Movies or Google TV by the looks of it or own a DVD/BluRay. Plus the tennis lead-in, presumably higher than whatever else wouldâve been on, especially with Djoker and an Aussie and if competitive.

I was watching Deep Blue Sea (1999) earlier on 9Go! Melbourne HD (LCN 99) and something really bizarre happened.
About half way through, at the scene where theyâre in the shaft, the audio suddenly completely muted and the vision seemed to speed up or jump frames or something, returning to normal about 10sec later.
Itâs probably an old tape transfer, it did look dated including ad break bumpers (which were blurry) and it is from Roadshow who go back a long way with Nine, but arenât playout MCR operators meant to be monitoring this sort of thing? Even if not watching this feed directly, Iâm sure theyâve got monitors with all the audio channel levels and alarms if something happens that shouldnât. Seems further centralisation and budget cutting in a continually declining FTA landscape is biting quality control. And not wanting to rant and itâs not so much about watching some of a 26 year old B-grade film on CFTA⌠But more the principle of the thing and broadcast standards.
I noted another similar weird thing, that was worse though, happened with their airing of Ronin (1998) on 9Gem some months back.
Also their 16:9 aspect looked off, it opened with as-release WB and VRP logos in anamorphic 2.35:1 approx, then the rest of the film was in a full frame 1.78:1 approx, then the ender played the letterboxed logos from the opening again.
There was a playout error and it was quickly fixed - shouldnât that be exactly what happens when these things occur?

I donât reckon it was a playout error though, I think the file was damaged/corrupted, I was more getting at youâd think whoever prepares the program for ingestion shouldâve reviewed it first, making sure it was to Nineâs broadcast standards.
I mean just like classification are meant to review all content for regulatory reasons, Iâm sure somebody is also meant to be making sure whatever programs/ads/promos/other pres elements are lined-up are correct and of quality, etc.
I canât speak to that specifically - but itâs likely staff are incredibly time poor. If stuff is checked pre-broadcast itâs probably prime-time main channel stuff and if thereâs an error outside of that, then itâs marked down and followed up post-broadcast.
