Neil Finn played the doctor in this weekâs episode Exercise.
According to online guides, this morningâs episode Exercise will be repeated this Saturday, again before the 7pm news. I wonder if the main channel repeat will continue for the rest of series 3?

Its good to see childrenâs programs back on the main channel.
Playing this season out on Saturday nights (of 6.50pm) before the news may seem like an odd timeslot for it though. But i dont blame the ABC for airing Bluey as many times as possible. It is a popular show.

But no worries about the father stinking out the toilet or farting in another episode.
Dance Mode has debuted at #7 on this weekâs ARIA albums chart.
Bluey Exercise updated
The recent episode of Bluey, Exercise , has been republished by the ABC following a decision by the makers of the program. The new version provides families with the opportunity to manage important conversations in their own way. As the home of Bluey, the ABC supports the decision to re-edit the program and we have updated the episode on our platforms. BBC Studios will use this revised version for global distribution and also support this decision.

Do the right have to turn everything into a political issue? FYL
I saw the original episode there was nothing wrong with and did not from my perspective shame a dogs body or any other body. Fact is itâs a real issue and childrenâs shows should address it.
Personally it was a non issue and itâs not a political right or left issue itâs more of health and diet.
