Sisters

100 per cent spot on.

Neither do I and I even feel like 10 has zero confidence in it. They could have mentioned it in their upcoming promos about future shows to keep people reminded but nada.

Do Ten make anything a little broader? Not based on an original idea, no. When 10 does go outside the norm, or their norm, it is usually years too late like Survivor and I’m a Zeleb.

If Ten had chosen some interesting formats in 2012 instead of obvious outright failures it may have given them confidence to programme some really interesting alternative formats but instead they got spooked and keep going back the same unoriginal well that is slowly starting to dry up.

Would love ten to bring back rush. There’s definitely A space for an Australian cop show on tv rush always felt a little ahead of its time

Please no. With talk of McLeod’s Daughters being revived we don’t need to give the creatively bankrupt stations any more ideas

I wanted to like Rush but the camera work was just shit and the plot lines not much better. Too soapy and often times ludicrous.

I would welcome a long running police show though.

Looks like the show can make it to air before the end of official ratings.

An interesting story idea but unfortunately nothing there that made me think I really need to watch that.

“This is a car crash”. I agree.

Looks alright, decent enough cast.

Shame it wasn’t ready to go off the back of The Bachelorette on Wednesdays, though it was probably wise to hold it off for a few weeks anyway to let Doctor Doctor run its course in that timeslot.

My guess is that it’ll be an eight episode series, probably airing on either Tuesday or Wednesday nights from around Early October until the end of ratings.

I don’t know exactly how many episodes The Wrong Girl has left, but once that show finishes I’d probably expect Sisters to take over the timeslot.

Gogglebox gets that timeslot from 5 October.

Pretty certain Sisters has 12 episodes, funding was provided by Screen Australia for 504 minutes which based on approx 42 minute length episodes would mean there’s potentially 12 available which is a decent amount.

Season 2 has 10 episodes, with ep5 airing tonight there are another 5 to go. As @TV.Cynic mentioned (and I previously) from the 5th Oct Googlebox resumes its original Thurs 8:30pm slot so I think TWG will probably get pushed back to 9:30.

Wrong Girl is moving to Wednesdays from 4 October.

Interesting development, it makes sense to do this but airing it on Thursday nights instead to protect it from Doctor Doctor has probably done more damage to the audience than good.

By the 4th October Doctor Doctor will be up to it’s 8th episode by that point, so won’t have long to go and The Wrong Girl should finish up on the 25th October.

The series premieres Wednesday, October 25, at 8.40pm, according to the Sunday Herald Sun.

Sisters. Australia’s Addictive New Contemporary Drama.

Premieres Wednesday 25 October At 8.40pm.

What if you spent your whole life thinking you were an only child, only to find out you had more than 100 adult siblings who now wanted to meet you?

Julia Bechly’s (Maria Angelico) life is turned upside down when her father, IVF pioneer Julius Bechly (Barry Otto), makes a death-bed confession that his award-winning career as a fertility specialist was propped up by the use of his own sperm. As a secret donor, Julius admits that he could potentially be the father of hundreds of children.

As the media latch on to the IVF scandal, Julia’s overdeveloped sense of responsibility leads her to a fateful decision: rather than resisting the tsunami of siblings rushing towards her, she welcomes the wave of strangers with open arms. But has she bitten off more than she can chew?

Within a sea of brothers, Julia learns that she has only two sisters: troubled children’s television star, Roxy Karibas (Lucy Durack), and belligerent lawyer, Edie Flanagan (Antonia Prebble).

Alongside Maria, Lucy, Antonia and Barry, Sisters features a superb all-star cast including Magda Szubanski, Roy Billing, Catherine McClements, Dan Spielman, Charlie Garber, Lindsay Farris and Joel Creasey.

Filled with joy, heartache and surprise, Sisters is an uplifting story about what happens when a group of people, from all different walks of life, are suddenly united by a genetic and biological revelation.

Sisters is produced by Endemol Shine Banks with principal production investment from Screen Australia and with the assistance of Film Victoria.
