The Best Of The Russell Gilbert Show
Wednesday 8 March 7:30 PM
A riotous look at one of the funniest comedians Australia has ever produced. Watch the much-loved master of comedy take on everyday situations and steer them into hilarity as only Russell can.
Seems like Seven have run out of ideas - Wiki: âThe Russell Gilbert Show is a short-lived Australian comedy show hosted by Russell Gilbert in 1998. It was partially a spin-off from Hey Hey Itâs Saturday, where Gilbert had risen to prominence.â

Going by the latest TV Week issue, it says that Wednesdays edition of The Best of Russell Gilbert Show is part 1. So there must be two parts of a very short-lived sketch-show/variety show? I also think that Seven have run out of ideas. lol.
First, it was the Cat Videos as fillers on Seven. Now its âHey Hey itâs Saturday and Friendsâ clip shows⊠With the Hey Hey itâs 50 Years (etc) and The Best & Worst of Red Faces⊠and now The Russell Gilbert Show. Whenâs The Dickie Knee Show and The Plucka Duck Show happening? lol

Live From E!: Oscars
Monday 13 March 8:00 am Live 7Bravo and 7plus
Whoâs wearing what? Weâre here to find out. Join E! Live from the Red Carpet at the Oscars 2023.
Note that both the ceremony and the Red Carpet are only live in AEDT areas - delayed everywhere else.
Poor that Seven prioritise TMS infomercials over The Academy Awards.

In previous years, the Oscars were shown live in all states, so it will be disappointing if this yearâs event is shown on delay outside AEDT areas, because the winners will be all over social media by the time it airs in WA. At least I hope the event will be streamed live on 7plus.
Also, as March 13 is a public holiday in Victoria, SA and the ACT, it will be interesting to see if more people stay at home and watch the Academy Awards. I for one will be able to sit down to watch the live telecast for the first time ever.

Not really. I think TMS would attract more viewers than an awards show at that time of day. Isnât this why networks have multichannels?

In previous years The Academy Awards has rated significantly (+100k last year) higher than the morning shows. For such a prominent event not to be live is a bad result for those states - perhaps Sevens thinks Adelaide and Perth will watch anything on Seven anytime.
Donât understand the multichannel comment as the broadcast is on the main channel only.

Sorry, I was confused by this:
I thought this meant the Oscars were on 7 Bravo too.

That is the E! red carpet show - also delayed in non AEDT areas.

People at home on a Saturday would usually prefer to watch the races on TV rather than their phone unless they are just tuning into one specific race. Racing. com covers VIC/SA racing only, so by also featuring NSW/QLD racing on Seven they are covering all bases.

30 years for any show is a big achievement, especially a lifestyle/travel show. Good get, i guess, in getting the Prime Minister to appear. I hope thereâs a montage of the 30 years of the show, that includes a simple mention to legendary Mike Whitney for hosting 28 years of the show (and to Matt Shirvinton for hosting 1 year).

I can understand this repeat for Saturday to get the extra eyeballs tuning in.
But personally, i think repeats shouldnât be airing at 7pm - even if it is on a lowly watching night of a Saturday. Just lazy programming. I know itâs filler until the AFL starts. Border Security and Border Patrol that usually airs on Saturdays arenât that much better.

Seven News did 640k metro and No. 1 program last Saturday, if WITB encore does half of that (which in itsself would be pretty good considering how the first run did although against Married) or a little below that, that would be a decent result for Seven. So this could be the first non-movie non-news that actually seems acceptable in Saturday prime time of recent years.
I will definitely tune in for the WITB encore. It gives me something to watch on Saturday nights, since I normally tune into food shows on SBS Food or catch up on the shows I recorded earlier on my PVR.
The Best of The Russell Gilbert Show
Two brand-new primetime specials celebrate comedy genius
Over the 30-year run of Hey Hey Itâs Saturday, there were many spinoff programs, but none funnier than The Russell Gilbert Show.
Across the next two Wednesdays on Channel 7 and 7plus, The Best of The Russell Gilbert Show celebrates lovable rascal Russell Gilbert, who became an Aussie icon in the 1980s and 1990s through his mastery of sketch and physical comedy in everyday situations.
In Part 1, introduced by Daryl Somers, Russell delivers some unfortunate news to some children at a party in the park about the fate of their circus clown; has a crack as a music producer on a John Farnham album with mixed results; and gives Mike Myers a crash course on the art of Aussie lifesaving. And, have you ever wondered what we did before elastic was invented?
In Part 2, introduced by Mick Molloy, Russell saves the life of an iconic amusement park character who then proceeds to stalk him; we find out if a cuddling cop gets his man; and run into some very climate-friendly hoons. Plus, have you ever wondered where clichés come from?
Daryl Somers said: âRussell Gilbert should be recognised as one of the greats of Australian comedy. He lit up the scene from â86 onwards through his first appearance on Hey Hey, then as a regular on The Comedy Company and back to Hey Hey for over a decade as a vital part of the ensemble.
âThese two specials highlight the breadth of his talents, such that 25 years on they are still âlaugh out loudâ funny. Itâs just so sad that health problems shortened his career.â
Donât miss this riotous celebration of one of the funniest comedians Australia has ever produced, featuring cameos from Glenn Robbins, Marty Sheargold, Bob Franklin, Dave OâNeil, The Amazing Johnathan, James Reyne and more.
Part 1 premieres 7.30pm Wednesday, 8 March on Channel 7 and 7plus
Part 2 premieres 7.30pm Wednesday, 15 March on Channel 7 and 7plus
