ABC TV - Programs and Schedules

No worries.

I also noticed that Superwog is repeated in the 10pm slot on Wednesday. Why not debut it there and then repeat on ABC Comedy?

ABC has bought the second season of Agatha Raisin starring Ashley Jensen, and will show it towards the end of 2018 or early 2019.

Why is ABC repeating recent episodes of children’s animated series Bluey (first screening at 8am weekdays on ABC Kids) to fill in the 10 minute gap between Doctor Who and the 7pm news? It will have been better just to extend The Drum, so Doctor Who starts at 6.10pm.

Heard an an on Gold 104.3 for Dr Who. Be fairly rare for the ABC to advertise in the current funding environment.

The Drum screens in multiple timeslots so needs to be 30 minutes. At least Bluey gets some exposure elsewhere.

There Goes Our Neighbourhood

Tuesday 20 November at 9:30pm

When politicians and property developers threaten to transform Sydney’s inner city suburb of Waterloo, forcing public housing tenants to the edges of the city, the locals fight back: their war cry an ambitious artwork, the making of which will both unite and divide.

Does anyone know when Ausmusic Month 2018 starts? I can’t see it starting in the first few days of November according to the guide…

Ausmusic Month is an annual, month-long celebration of Australian music throughout November.

Following previous ABC concert broadcasts from Crowded House and Paul Kelly, this Ausmusic Month we bring you ‘Missy Higgins & Friends Live’.

Joining her for some collaborations and covers are her closest friends and family, including Peter Garrett, Kasey Chambers, Dan Sultan, Gretta Ray, Ben Abraham and David Higgins, making this truly a show you don’t want to miss. Hosted by Double J Mornings presenter and ABC Music Correspondent Zan Rowe, the 90min performance be aired across ABC, iview and Double J radio from 8.40pm Sun 25 Nov. Want to be there in person? WIN tickets to the show by tuning into Double J and ABC Melbourne next week.

Excited to take to the stage for Ausmusic Month, Missy Higgins says “This show is going to be so fun, I’ve always wanted to play in the Melba Spiegeltent and to have such incredible guests joining me on stage just tops it off. My career all started because of winning triple j Unearthed way back in 2001 so to be invited by the ABC to headline their Ausmusic Month celebration feels like a pretty cool ‘coming full circle’ moment. It’s going to be very special.”

Caroline Wilson’s Andrew Olle Media Lecture will be shown on ABC tomorrow (Saturday November 3) at 11am, with repeats on ABC News channel during next week.

Sherlock - Season 4

image

From Sunday 2 December at 8:30pm (3 parts)

As Sherlock (Benedict Cumberbatch) waits for Moriarty (Andrew Scott) to make his posthumous move, an intriguing puzzle captures the mercurial detective’s attention. But this case is more dangerous than he could have imagined.

There is a dark purpose at work. Something with its roots deep in Mary Watson’s (Amanda Abbington) past. Sherlock and John will face their most chilling enemies yet. Everything they know will be tested. Everyone they know is under threat. Is the game finally over?

The Spicks and Specks reunion special was fantastic. This is how you make an Australian music quiz show. It was spot on, and it’s difficult to fault anything that was in that program. Definitely deserves a Logie award next year.
