A fantastic achievement and Aussie treasure. Touching and inspiring so many lives. A lifestyle leader. Seven and everyone involved in the show should be proud their work has engaged audiences week in week out for so long.

In NT, BH&G will be shown in full on 7TWO from 7pm local time. In WA, BH&G will air as usual at 7pm on main channel, against live BBL on 7mate (5.30pm-9pm local time)

Three Life has dropped BH&G from its schedule.
So, in Melbourne last night, basically what happened is they cut out some segments and other advertorial/in-program promotional stuff to reduce the run time by 30min.
Viewers were advised (as posted in “Seven Presentation” thread) to watch the proper full episode via 7Plus when available.
For example, what was the final segment with Johanna and Ricki-Lee eating and saying goodbye and waving, was bizarrely not the final segment, making no sense. And the final segment was with the carpentry bloke and the ex-House Rules guy looking back at their ‘brick’ creation and the episode abruptly ended with a credit to “view full ep on 7Plus” and a highlight with garden guru Graham (so that was a segment that didn’t air).

My parents watched BH and G for years then when The Living Room came along I showed it to them. They didn’t budge initially, but now they reckon TLR is actually more interesting and prefer that show.

The show’s gardening guru Jason Hodges won’t return next year according to News Corp. He has been with the show since 2005. He will be a big loss.
EDIT 14/12:
(Jason Hodges said)
"To be honest, I am absolutely gutted…I think of myself as being the luckiest guy in the world, to have had the best job in the world and work with the best team there is … I’d be lying if I said I was not upset but as people in this business know, that’s how it goes."
The knockabout ‘‘Hodgie’’ is set to be replaced by rival celebrity landscaper Charlie Albone and veteran gardening correspondent Melissa King, while long-standing BH&G green thumb Graham Ross remains on the show.
Seven confirmed the format would return in 2020 with new content.
“Better Homes and Gardens will return in February 2020 with new technology, health and fitness and motoring content, along with all the ideas and inspiration audiences have come to expect from host Johanna Griggs and the team,” said the spokesperson.
The promo for Saturday’s Christmas ep says a “special announcement” about the team… surely they’re not going to publicly ditch Jason Hodges on air, especially after he’s said he’s gutted. Wouldn’t you just let him disappear?
