Nine must think they still are and turns out I was right (about Brosnan Bonds)…
They’ve moved “Goldeneye” and “Tomorrow Never Dies” to the main channel this Saturday. Probably also because the Ninja Warrior encores flopped last week.

Nine’s schedule is so poor. I cannot believe they are showing a movie and and UK Talent competition on the main channel in primetime. Beyond embarrassing.
It is simply awful. I didn’t even see the Monday show. What on earth is that rubbish? Simply and utterly no imagination or money spent after their reality tentpole. They expected Ninja to give them cheap wins and I am actually glad it hasn’t turned out that way. Nine need to start filling their late evening schedule with some decent Australian content.
Channel Nine has 7 eps of Ninja Warrior remaining. The Block will air at 7PM on 5 August, followed by back-to-back eps of Ninja Warrior Final at 8PM. What happens to 60 Minutes is unknown.
Waste for Ninja Warrior, but it hasn’t worked as hoped and such double header programming should ensure big wins. But I don’t think it’s great for viewers. If all that does eventuate.
You are missing something really important! The Series Premiere of When Celebrities Go Horribly Wrong is on Monday, 30 July. Pencil that in your diary. A real highlight.
off topic
Brosnan is my favourite and Tomorrow Never Dies is a favourite. But in terms of the best quality and universal praise, Connery the original and probably the best, followed by Moore (both went a film too long). I believe Dalton was Ian Fleming’s quintessential Bond however.
Have you seen the other networks’ schedules? You could have said the exact thing about them. Every network relies on a tentpole reality program in the early evening and then hope that it provides a strong lead in to whatever comes next.
It’s also ridiculous to complain about cheap filler content in the late evenings and the lack of Australian content when networks have always filled up schedules with US shows. There used to be a time when US dramas like NCIS, CSI, ER, Lost, Desperate Housewives etc. rated well. That’s not the case anymore.
Yes and from what I can see ten has; Sportd Tonight, Been paying attention, Shark Tank occupying the 8:30 slots. And at least 7 has Interview ans few other decent american imports rather than a cheap movie and cheap UK talent show.
Yes and Nine also has some content later in the evening. Love Island just finished and they’ll have True Story airing at 8.30 in 2 weeks. There’s nothing wrong with Britain’s Got Talent either.
