Sydney’s Super Tunnel
From Wednesday 12 August at 08:30 PM 4 episodes
The show kicks off with a dynamic taster of what the series has in store - namely the inside story of a crack team building a trailblazing, fully-automated metro system costing $50 billion, by far the biggest and most advanced new railway opening anywhere on the planet in 2019. A dramatic scene with our main characters dealing with a crisis gets the ball rolling.
Greek Island Odyssey With Bettany Hughes
From Friday 14 August at 07:30 PM 6 episodes
Bettany Hughes begins her journey in the waters of the Eastern Mediterranean near Fourni, finding a graveyard of ancient shipwrecks. Bettany meets underwater archaeologist George Koutsouflakis, who takes her to the site of an incredible discovery - 58 shipwrecks dating back 2,500 years. These ships and their crews met a watery end travelling this busy trade route. It’s a sobering first-hand experience that shows the dangers sailors like Odysseus would have faced on these seas.
The production company posted the trailer on YouTube last month.
That four part “Sydney’s Super Tunnel” series sounds about as appealing (ie, not very) as that “World’s Best Metro” documentary which aired on Seven in 2016!

The Salisbury Poisonings
From Monday 24 - Thursday 27 August at 08:30 PM
‘The Salisbury Poisonings’, about the 2018 chemical weapon attack on a former Russian spy, will premiere in a four-night special event from Monday 24 to Thursday 27 August.
In a case of fact being stranger than fiction, new British drama The Salisbury Poisonings is based on the incredible true story that unfolded only two years ago in the small city of Salisbury, UK.
After enjoying lunch together, a father and his daughter, who’d arrived from Russia only the day before to visit him, took a rest on a park bench. Passers-by called an ambulance when they were found to be unconscious. They’d been poisoned by Novichok, a lethal nerve agent originating in the former Soviet Union.
Turns out, the man on the bench was Sergei Skripal, former military officer and a double agent who’d assisted MI6. He and daughter Yulia survived the attack, after spending months in hospital. But the detective sergeant who’d been in Skripal’s house after he’d been identified, also fell ill soon afterwards, sparking a full-scale shutdown across the city, as public officials feared more widespread contaminations.
At the centre of the drama is local Director of Public Health, Tracy Daszkiewicz (played by the brilliant Anne-Marie Duff, Sex Education ), who is suddenly thrust into the heart of a major crisis, working alongside emergency services to fiercely protect the local community. Daszkiewicz worked closely with the show’s producers who were determined to portray the story as authentically as they could.
Along with the recovery of and contribution by DS Nick Bailey (Rafe Spall, Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom ) the show also follows the love story of Dawn Sturgess (MyAnna Buring, The Witcher ) and Charlie Rowley (Johnny Harris, Jawbone ). Living just outside Salisbury, Sturgess and Rowley fell ill suddenly and were also found to have been exposed to Novichok, leading to the discovery of the source of the agent. The excellent cast also includes Annabel Scholey ( Walking on Sunshine ) as DS Bailey’s wife, Sally, and Mark Addy ( Game of Thrones ) as Sergei Skripal’s neighbour and friend, Ross Cassidy.
This critically-acclaimed four-part series focuses on the impact of the Novichok poisonings on the local community, and how its people and public services reacted to the crisis, displaying extraordinary heroism as their city became the focus of an unprecedented national emergency. The show poignantly captures their bravery, resilience and personal tragedies.
As SBS Director of Television and Online Content Marshall Heald said about the show, noting its timeliness, “It’s about how an entire community came together to successfully fight an invisible enemy; a truly inspiring story of hope, resilience and remarkable courage.”
The Salisbury Poisonings will premiere at 8.30pm Monday 24 August on SBS and will air over four consecutive nights at 8.30pm concluding Thursday 27 August. Episodes will be available on SBS On Demand at the same time as broadcast. Watch the trailer:
It sounds like an NSW government paid promotion.
