To all the quiz fans, on this Sunday (24 December), Viceland is airing a Jeopardy Marathon. Starting at 9.30am, and finishing up at 7.30pm.
With fairly new episodes of Jeopardy starting again on January 1 on i think SBS, i wonder if it will be repeating it later in the evening on Viceland, like what they used to do.
Jeopardy begins next Monday. January 1. tart Starts with episode 1 from Season 40. Double episodes will air each weeknight. Ep 1 at 6.40pm, with ep 2 at 7.05pm.
Looks like Scrubs will be airing on Viceland on Monday nights, starting from next Monday (1 January). An impressive 8 episodes will be airing on nights one, starting at 9.25pm.
Did they skip a season or 2? I thought we were on season 36/37 and now they’re on 40. Interesting they’ve skipped these seasons. I thought Trebek passed at the end of season 38? Could be wrong.
From this forum 31 January 2023 (almost a year ago):
They stopped airing at the end of season 36 (190 episodes were in that season). We were 2 years behind at that time. Then in the last year, only repeats were played on SBS/ Viceland. So seasons 37, 38 and 39 were not aired.
Odd to now have double episodes of the current season, especially when that season started in late September 2023.
Cast, crew and experts reveal never-before-heard stories about the most iconic film and television series. Before there were franchises, there was James Bond. How did Bond enthral audiences for over 60 years, surviving failed partnerships, lawsuits, competition and corporate takeovers? Hold onto your martinis and get ready for the true story behind the icon.
All six episodes of Icons Unearthed: James Bond are available on SBS on Demand, if you don’t want to wait for weekly broadcast on SBS Viceland.
James Bond is fifth and latest season of Icons Unearthed series from Vice TV in the US. Foxtel and Binge have already shown season 1 (Star Wars), season 2 (The Simpsons) and season 3 (Fast and Furious). Season 4 (Marvel Cinematic Universe) is yet to be shown in Australia.
I still think Nine will resume the Bond marathon but on the main channel with the Daniel Craig entries and probably premiere “No Time To Die” after the tennis/ during Q1 Married
Yewande Biala is a biochemist and author with two degrees. She’s articulate, charismatic and outwardly confident - but she’s missing one big thing in her life. Brought up in a strict Catholic family and attending church, she struggled with a lot of anxiety and shame about sex.

She’s never tried to give herself an orgasm or achieved one with a boyfriend.
Now, in Secrets of the Female Orgasm, Biala meets other women, scientists and therapists to hear their stories and opinions. Trying out various techniques, experimenting with sex toys and visiting a sex club all form part of Biala’s research as she attempts to learn everything there is to know about the complexity of the female orgasm in a bid to experience one herself for the first time.
