On 15 December 2014 eighteen people were taken hostage in Sydney’s Lindt café. Eyewitnesses and first responders explain what happened minute by minute in the months and weeks leading up to the horror.
Unfortunately due to low ratings, Code 1 is out of the schedule so will have to wait for the Martin Place Siege episode.

Thursday 2 March 8:30PM
In February 2017 a group of golfers chartered a small aircraft to fly them from Melbourne to nearby King Island. 10 seconds after take off the plane exploded into a popular shopping centre.
On 21 February 2017 a Beechcraft B200 King Air aircraft operating a charter flight, carrying a pilot and four passengers bound for King Island crashed, just 10 seconds after taking off from Essendon Airport in Melbourne, Australia. The pilot made mayday calls before the aircraft clipped the roof of the Essendon Direct Factory Outlets (DFO) building, which had not yet begun the day’s trading, and then smashed into the ground a few metres away and burst into flames. It was the worst civil aviation accident in Victoria in 30 years.
Media Spy had a dedicated topic on this at the time.
Season 1 will make its NZ debut on TVNZ1 on Monday, March 6 at 8.30pm.
This episode has been rescheduled for Thursday 9 March 8:30 PM
For those who might have forgotten in all the timeslot changes
Watching tonight’s show (about the Lindt Siege), the opener and title card going to the break still has “Code 1: Minute by Minute” written up.
While some media outlets are using the shortened name, some didn’t get the memo and are still using the “full name”.
Next episode:
Sunday 2 April 8:50 PM
Eighty-eight young world travellers were at the Childers Palace Backpacker Hostel in Queensland when one of their own deliberately set fire to the place. Never-before-seen pictures and stories.

A country passenger train travelling towards Melbourne was struck by a semi-trailer that had been travelling at 100 kilometres per hour. First hand accounts from emergency workers and survivors.
Update: bumped from schedule - replaced by Kath & Kim: Our Effluent Life Rpt.
Poor Code 1. Despite being a good documentary/factual show, it hasn’t really settled well for viewers.

The Martin Siege episode was scheduled for Wed 22 February, but was rescheduled for Thursday 9 March at 8.30pm. The Essendon Plane Crash episode ended up airing the week before on 2 March at 8.30pm.
The Childers Backpacker Fire episode is airing this Sunday, at 8.50pm. And the Kerang Train Crash that was due to air the following Sunday has been bumped for a Kath & Kim episode.
You are all now up to date with all the bumps and changes of Code 1 of this season in 2023.
Sad investigative journalism on commercial networks are bumped for reruns or classic clips.
Synopsis for the episode (90 minutes)
In 2002 Bali nightclubs were bombed killing 88 Australians. Three years later terrorists bombed restaurants killing another 20 people. Stories of survival told by first responders & eyewitnesses.
Having been pulled from schedule once, it will now air on Wednesday, May 31 at 7.30pm.
SOO night? On the surface seems a waste, though I guess a filler already moved once anyway. A Victorian story, so could attract a crowd/competitive at least share wise (along with Seven News) from those markets, a match went as low as just 100k-odd metro a year or two back. Also for Adelaide and Perth. But expect a minimal turn-out from Nsw or Qld markets against Origin.
Wait so has season two ended?
