Their shows shouldn’t start at 8pm and 9pm when most others are still doing 7.30pm and 8.30pm.
7.30 yes but how many of them are really sticking to 8.30 anymore?
Most channels across FTA and Foxtel do. It’s the main commercial networks who are ruining the traditional time slots with their rubbish, bloated reality shows.

ABC launches true crime collection
A 30-year-old mystery begins to unravel, on May 28th
This year, the ABC is bringing audiences more gripping true crime stories, unravelling cold cases, missing persons mysteries and potential past injustices through a new suite of podcasts, documentaries and digital animation. A multi-platform true crime team will investigate historic, iconic, brutal and baffling cases across the country.
Audiences are enthralled by a well-told mystery. True crime stories hold up a mirror to injustice in our society and can have real-world outcomes, encouraging audiences to get involved in helping crack unsolved cases.
In 2017, the ABC’s award-winning podcast Trace, prompted an influx of new information and significant leads in the 1980 cold-case murder of Melbourne mother Maria James.
Our descent into the nation’s dark underworld starts with the ABC’s new podcast Unravel True Crime and its first series titled Blood on the Tracks, a podcast and an accompanying two-part Australian Story TV special which will launch on Monday, 28 May, featuring bespoke digital content across Youtube and digital platforms.
Unravel True Crime and Blood on the Tracks follows journalist Allan Clarke’s five-year investigation into the death of Mark Haines, a 17-year-old Gomeroi teenager whose body was found on the Tamworth train tracks in 1988. A rail worker discovers the body, but the scene doesn’t seem to make sense. Despite the strange evidence found at the crime scene, the family feel like they’re being ignored by police. The mystery is left to fester, causing division and suspicion in the town. Twenty-five years later, journalist Allan picks up the case, telling the story of a town divided, an investigation bungled, evidence lost, and critical leads never followed up.
It’s the first part of a number of new ABC true crime stories, which will also include an animated digital series, TV documentaries and additional seasons of the Unravel True Crime podcast. The true crime collection was conceived within the ABC’s Content Ideas Lab, which was launched in 2017 as part of the ABC’s Investing in Audiences strategy to produce innovative content that connects with new audiences.
‘Creating distinctive and innovative content in ways that reach new audiences is exactly what the Content Ideas Lab is all about,” said Angela Stengel, Head of the Content Ideas Lab.
“The runaway success of Trace illustrated that there is an audience appetite for high-quality, true crime content. This is a great opportunity for the ABC to marry this fresh, multi-platform approach with trusted, quality journalism.”
The ABC is unrivalled in its commitment to distinctive and high-quality Australian content, delivering these in-depth stories and investigations, helping to solve crimes and shine a light on injustices across the country.
Australian Story: Blood on the Tracks – Mondays 8pm, 28 May & 4 June on ABC and iview
Unravel True Crime – Episodes available weekly from Monday 28 May. Episode 0 is now available.

Everyone’s a Critic
From Thursday 28 June at 8:50pm
Everyone’s A Critic opens the door into some of the nation’s most prestigious art galleries.
A diverse cast of everyday people, siblings, friends, couples and families, are invited in to give their reactions and opinions on works that were created by Australian and internationally-renowned artists. For some ‘critics’ visiting galleries is a regular occurrence, for others this is the first time.
Over the course of the series, the critics visit the National Gallery of Victoria, Art Gallery of New South Wales, Museum of Contemporary Art, Heide Museum of Modern Art, Lyon Housemuseum and Campbelltown Arts Centre. Subjects including Australian identity, race relations, love, family, gender and pop culture are explored through paintings, installations, sculptures and photography.
Through archival material, each work of art will be placed within an artistic, cultural and historical context, allowing our critics to continually frame, and reframe their understanding of the work. The subsequent conversations create space for heartfelt, personal and revealing connections to how the art reflects the critics own life experience.
Everyone’s got a story, everyone’s got an opinion, Everyone’s A Critic.
First up, the critics visit the National Gallery of Victoria’s Ian Potter Centre in Melbourne and encounter works by artist Del Kathryn Barton, British-born painter Tom Roberts, surrealist Judith Wright, Jeffrey Smart and Bidjara man, Michael Cook.
Poldark - Season 4
From Saturday 16 June at 8.15pm
Fast-tracked from the UK
Prime Minister Pitt (Edward Bennett) calls an election and uncertainty grips the country. While Ross (Aidan Turner) watches Cornwall suffer under the power of Truro’s MP, George Warleggan (Jack Farthing), Demelza’s (Eleanor Tomlinson) infidelity leaves her torn between her husband and a lovesick Hugh (Josh Whitehouse), who is set to rival George in the upcoming election.
The Enyses contemplate having a child and Elizabeth (Heida Reed) seeks the same to secure her marriage. Meanwhile, Morwenna (Ellise Chappell) uses Osborne’s (Christian Brassington) affair with her sister Rowella (Esme Coy) to keep the reverend’s advances at bay, and Demelza seeks to reconcile rival local Lords of Falmouth (James Wilby) and Basset (John Hopkins).
A corn riot erupts in Truro, and Zacky’s (Tristan Sturrock) son Jago (Jack Riddiford) leads the charge. Sam Carne (Tom York) and Drake Carne (Harry Richardson) attempt to dissuade him but arrive too late, and a merchant is killed in the fighting. Tom Harry (Turlough Convery) tells George that the Carnes and Jago murdered the man.

Marcella
From Friday 27 July at 9:15pm
Marcella is a new multi-strand crime drama from internationally renowned screenwriter and novelist Hans Rosenfeldt (The Bridge). Following his global success with The Bridge, Marcella captures Rosenfeldt’s genius in creating truly compelling female characters. Set in contemporary London and starring Anna Friel, Marcella centres on the psychological struggles of a Metropolitan police officer at crisis point in her personal life, driven by rejection and intuition.
Marcella (Anna Friel), now in her late 30s, gave up her fast-tracked role as a detective at the Metropolitan Police’s Murder Squad to marry and devote her life to starting a family. After 12 years, and the abrupt end of her marriage to the man she thought was the love of her life, and isolated from her children at boarding school, Marcella returns to work - with her sense of self shattered.
She’s immediately assigned to an old case she first worked on in 2005. A spate of recent killings all carry the same hallmarks as those unsolved murders committed over a decade ago. Has the killer re-appeared, or is this a copycat murderer? How will Marcella cope with returning to duty when her own temperament is so fragile and vulnerable? Will throwing herself into her work provide the answers she’s seeking or lead her dangerously into territory she must avoid at all costs?
Told in Rosenfeldt’s unflinchingly clear Nordic style, the series leads the audience through an unpredictable narrative maze full of hooks and action, with suspicion falling on nearly every character right up until its final moments.
Also stars Australian actor Maeve Dermody.
Seems a strange title for the ABC, I’m surprised it wasn’t picked by one of the commercials or a streaming service locally.
