Inside Cyprus With Ben Fogle

Thursday 16 March 7:30 PM 7Mate in Melbourne and Adelaide.

Ben Fogle heads to Cyprus, deviating from the tourist trail. He has unique access to the ‘Buffer Zone’, a no-man’s land which cuts right through the middle of the island. The Turkish Cypriot community in the North, and the Greek Cypriot community in the South have been separated since civil war and an illegal invasion divided them almost 50 years ago. This left a third of the population displaced, essentially making them refugees overnight.

Ben spends a week with the UN peacekeeping mission who patrol the 230 square mile Buffer Zone to keep the two warring sides apart. Ben is on a mission to understand more about the so-called ‘Cyprus problem’ and visits the ghost towns left behind. He learns how criminal gangs profit from the division, and hears the stories of people on both sides of the divide whose lives have been changed forever.

They could’ve had this coincide with a Spotlight feature on Russell Gilbert, perhaps? I understand he isn’t well these days?

TV.Cynic · March 3, 2023, 9:50pm

At this stage looks to be a one off as the following Sunday it is back Ed Sheeran v Adele.

TV.Cynic · March 3, 2023, 10:48pm

Rather than a compiled clip show like the Hey Hey specials, these look more like complete episodes of the show complete with opening and closing titles. Each has a very brief intro as mentioned.

Sully · March 4, 2023, 1:27am

Finally something that actually seems somewhat suited to 7mate, when Seven are running split schedules during varying AFL. Doubt it will rate though, being buried there, unless they promote it well, though the 7mate movies during AFL in Melbourne at least always seem to do decent (30-60k, sometimes higher, sometimes lower) and help share.

A few comments on that Saturday:

Gold Coast Suns (even if good for exposure and this night seldom rates anyway) are not the Lions, so main channel seems risky for Brisbane.

Adelaide receiving an all-Melbourne game seems strange, unlikely to draw a high audience there.

Perth looks like the only market with movies, considering they’re not playing out across five cities on main channel, should drop Border and start them at 7pm, as they previously were in this situation.

And an overall comment: when AFL season is in swing, competing for five city audience against say Nine becomes rather irrelevant, it’s really all about share%, with all the split scheduling.

JohnsonTV · March 5, 2023, 12:49am

Perth will get Melbourne v Western Bulldogs on 7mate at 4pm local time.

Sully · March 5, 2023, 12:53am

Really, that’s silly. Why don’t they start on main channel and switch to 7mate for Seven News at 6pm, like what Adelaide have been doing for a couple of years now in similar situations? An all-Melbourne game and not a profile one was never going to draw high viewership in a small market like Perth, but especially if it’s during day time and on 7mate!

Tom_TV7 · March 5, 2023, 4:10am

Should really be called ‘Australia’s Worst Schedule’.

TV_Addict · March 5, 2023, 9:19pm

How many episodes of We Interrupt This Broadcast were made?

JBar · March 5, 2023, 10:29pm

From TV Tonight:

“The 10-episode series is produced by Helium for Channel Seven and will showcase some of Australia’s most versatile up-and-coming performers.”
Filming takes place at Trackdown Studios, Moore Park from Dec 20 – March 2.

JohnsonTV · March 6, 2023, 1:28am

parano1a · March 6, 2023, 3:30am

It’s the Seven national broadcast game, so Adelaide receive it by default as the Crows or Power aren’t playing that night.

JohnsonTV · March 6, 2023, 10:01pm

According to online guides, Seven has only allocated three hours for the premiere broadcast (11am-2pm). Based on past ceremonies, I think this will not finish until 2.30pm or even 3pm.

TV.Cynic · March 7, 2023, 9:52pm

Now out of the schedule - replaced with:

Thursday 16 March
Sydney, Brisbane, Perth
07:30 PM Dogs Behaving (Very) Badly S03 E06
08:30 PM Air Crash Investigations S22 E07
09:30 PM Police Code Zero: Officer Under Attack S01 E04
10:30 PM The Latest: Seven News
11:00 PM TBA

Dogs Behaving (Very) Badly will also air on 7Mate in Melbourne and Adelaide.

Sully · March 8, 2023, 2:54am

Seems strange they’d schedule that, only to replace it before it’s even had an ep, with more filler-esque programs. Standard triple Home and Away and a movie would surely draw share with AFL anyway, perhaps they’re trying to mirror Nine’s Thursday factual line-up, but they have the same issue with split schedule.

JohnsonTV · March 8, 2023, 8:38am

According to TV Tonight, 7plus will stream the Oscars live across Australia which is good news for viewers in SA, QLD, NT and WA.
