Maybe. But Nine is showing the cricket anyway so it wouldn’t have competed.

I don’t think they’ve aired double episodes since there’s only been two episodes that have aired so far
There was a double on the first night and this one scheduled for this week was also supposed to be too, either two episodes on the same subject or a two hour long episode.
It seemed like to me that the first episode was meant to be a two hour episode rather than two separate episodes being shown back-to-back (like what Home & Away does on Thursday’s)
The 2 episode coding for the premiere looks suspiciously like a cunning tactic to boost the premiere’s headline number

###Murder Uncovered… Killer Confessions
Wednesday 1 March at 9pm
It’s a world where fact is stranger than fiction. Killer Confessions delves into the true and often bizarre stories behind videotaped police interviews.
Featuring never-before-seen police recordings, we’ll hear the full story behind some of the most shocking crimes in our recent history – told by the killers themselves.
Like the mother of two you’d never expect to be guilty of Australia’s most gruesome killing. Mummy murderer Angelika Gavare butchered her elderly neighbour and used her children’s pram to dispose of the remains.
Gavare spun a web of lies during the three-month murder investigation. Police videotaped every conversation and interview as her story and alibi changed from week to week. Every lie, every twist and turn was recorded until she was caught by one crucial mistake.
Every cop hopes for a confession. Of the boxes upon boxes of interview tapes stored in police archives, the confession of convicted murdered Corey Breen is one in a million.
Breen embarked on a terrifying murder spree that began with carjacking and multiple assaults of friends and bystanders before he slaughtered his father and stepmother with a hunting knife while his younger step brother and sister watched on horrified.
Arrested a short time later, Breen boasted about the murders to police as he explained in graphic detail how and why he did it. For the first time you will see the chilling police confession. And Breen’s mother, grandfather, sister and step brother – all who escaped certain death that night – speak for the first time.
Murder Uncovered is a breakthrough investigative crime series that will blow wide open some of the worst, most infamous cases of killings and crimes in Australian criminal history.
Featuring award-winning journalist Michael Usher, each episode will examine a different case that enraged and engaged the country, presenting new evidence, major breakthroughs and fresh leads that will have you questioning everything.
So next Wednesday March 8 is the season finale. Including the postponed gangland episode, how many episodes were made for the first season? 5 or 6?
Screen Austalia has it down as 6x45min.
I don’t now if that includes the double eps which may have just been extended original eps because they found they had so much extra content.

###Who Killed Leanne Holland?
Wednesday 8 March at 9pm
Schoolgirl Leanne Holland wanted to be the next Kylie Minogue – a dream that ended with her brutal murder in 1991.
The vivacious 12-year-old was living with her father, sister and her sister’s boyfriend, Graham Stafford, near Brisbane when she disappeared on September 23. Three days later her battered body was found in bushland 8km from her home.
Stafford was convicted of Leanne’s murder and in 2006, after nearly 15 years behind bars, was released on parole. His conviction quashed in 2009.
Graham Stafford is either Australia’s most innocent man, wrongfully convicted of a crime he didn’t commit.
Or everyone has been fooled.
Now, Murder Uncovered can finally reveal what happened to little Leanne Holland, presenting new evidence that changes everything.
Police commissioned an extensive review of the case, its contents never released to the public. Murder Uncovered has the review. It began with 16 key suspects for Leanne’s murder and at the end, only one remained. Murder Uncovered will name that man.
This is the story of a young girl whose life ended brutally. And of Graham Stafford, who maintains his innocence for Leanne’s murder in what has become one of the most controversial cases in Australian criminal history.
And for the first time in two decades we hear from the original detectives, Leanne’s best friend, a key suspect in the murder and a key witness.
Murder Uncovered is a breakthrough investigative crime series that will blow wide open some of the worst, most infamous cases of killings and crimes in Australian criminal history.
Featuring award-winning journalist Michael Usher, each episode will examine a different case that enraged and engaged the country, presenting new evidence, major breakthroughs and fresh leads that will have you questioning everything.
Just when you thought you knew it all…
I thought the Breen episode was good. And also good to see Michael Usher take on more of a role. Hopefully there will be more episodes in future. Looking forward to this week.
Tonight’s episode was excellent.
Michael Usher was particularly impressive.

I was keen to watch episode as I’d just moved to Brisbane and it was all over the news at the time.
Hard to argue with the reports presented. Usher conducted himself well I thought.

The Melbourne gangland episode has been scheduled for next Monday March 20, at 9pm. I wonder if the episode has been edited so it will not affect a current criminal trial?

Most likely.
Not that they’ll tell us that.
Expect promos to start airing for it from tomorrow “a special episode” or something
Hmmm I really hope it doesn’t affect the trial. Too often does the media get involved in current cases which can jeopardise results in criminal trials.
Next Monday’s broadcast delayed.
Next week’s edition of Murder Uncovered, Two Weddings and 29 Funerals, scheduled to air on Monday night has been withdrawn for legal reasons.
The program has been rescheduled for Monday 27 March at 9pm

Seven tries to sneak in the gangland episode but is caught.

They need to stop fucking with the justice system. Wait for the trail to be over. The amount of misjustice that occurs because the media gets involved is ridiculous and I hope the courts start slapping them with bigger fines. $300,000 obviously wasn’t enough.

That actually raises the question as to whether we might find something similar happen later in the year with the Blue Murder Sequel. Even though the trial is over in NSW, etc, evidence by the people involved may be called upon for other trials / inquiries. So there’s a possibility we might get an edited version when it airs in Sydney (or have what happened with the original years ago).
