Heliopolis: The City Of The Sun

Friday 28 May at 7:30 PM

Cairo, March 2017 - construction workers make a spectacular discovery beneath metres of rubble. At the bottom of a deep pit, buried in mud and debris, lies an enormous crowned stone head.

Nearby the torso and plinth. These are the remains of a colossal quartzite statue, 9 metres high and weighing several tons. It’s an archaeological sensation, a clear indication that this was once the heart of an ancient, legendary metropolis - Heliopolis.

Robson Green: Walking Hadrian’s Wall

From Thursday 3 June at 8:35 PM 3 episodes

From its Easternmost point of Segedunum, Robson sets off on his 84-mile-long journey in Hadrian’s footsteps. Along the way he discovers the boyish thrill of geocaching, learns of the Roman Frontier’s Las Vegas, Corbridge, and its game-changing finds, and sees how some thrifty neighbours repurposed the wall in Wall for their own needs. He even finds time for a dip in the Tyne near his hometown of Hexham, and a refuel with a classic Northumbrian treat, before burying a little treasure of his own.

Australia’s Biggest Singalong just finished (at 10.22pm). I think it went relatively smoothly overall. Throw Your Arms Around Me was the song they sang at the end.

There was only just one technical glitch - when one of the crosses to one of the viewers didn’t work (from the viewers side).

I started watching it but it was really tedious. Even those in the audience looked bored with it within a few minutes.

Yes, the beginning was tedious. And audience did look bored at times too. Got a bit better when the musical acts began between the “rehearsals” of the main song.
