ABC ME & ABC 3 were both superior.
I will die on this hill defending this.

The Cleaner Christmas Special

Thursday December 26 8:30pm

It’s Christmas Day and crime scene cleaner Wicky is looking forward to heading to the pub for Weasel’s Christmas raffle: first prize, an actual horse. All that stands in his way is a blood-soaked crime scene in an ice cream parlour, and a regular customer who isn’t going to let a little thing like a murder stop him from getting the perfect peach melba ice-cream


I would say 2 and 3 were better in having a clean slate to build their brands which became clear very quickly. 2 has had adjustments over time which were necessary but I am not convinced the subsequent rebrands to different names over time have been necessary.

The mayhem of double parenting double newborns applies the blow torch to Nat and Steph as they struggle to parent, partner and create healthy boundaries for everyone in their precious family.

Double Parked - Series 2, Episodes 3 & 4

Tuesday 25 February 9.00pm

Episode 3
The boys are going through sleep regression which means no one is getting any sleep. Nat thinks it’s time to sleep train the babies, but Steph is adamantly against it. Johnny suggests a potential solution to the flats sleeping arrangements.

Episode 4
Steph and Nat seek alternative support at a Rainbow Family community group and end up hosting their new, free spirited friend who introduces some unexpected, flirty competition between them. Meanwhile, Lily and Johnny take steps toward their first big couple decision.

I just noticed that PokĂ©mon: Diamond and Pearl will be airing on ABC Entertains’ morning children’s block from Monday. The first 26 (out of 189) episodes have also been added to ABC iview, and I believe this is in response to the BBC acquiring the rights to PokĂ©mon (from season 10 onwards) within the past few years. Maybe the ABC will do the same.

The Pokémon anime has previously aired on 10, 10 Peach Comedy and 9Go! but the DP arc (seasons 10-13) has not been seen on Aussie television screens since 2013.
