Also some retired lifeguards were back (from pre Bondi Rescue as a show) to support. No doubt this was due to the large number of Bondi lifeguards that did not get the COVID vaccination. ---

God, some of em look like geriatrics now! 😂 On a more serious note, I wonder if these producers (Cordell Jigsaw Zapruder) are the same as similarly titled, located and ran _Bondi Vet_, recently re-run rights moved to Seven/7flix and wonder if this could possibly (the older seasons) become another?

Thanks for that, well that does explain a lot I guess. And this might sound silly, but it’s a wonder CJZ didn’t lock away TV rights to that “Bondi” name back in the mid-2000s. ---

They mustn’t have been able to given it’s a place name.or they just missed the boat on it. We’ve also had shows like Bondi Ink. So I guess it’s not really a format rather than a place. ---
