The Dog house is another show that shouldn’t be anchoring a night. It’s Friday or Saturday fodder or filler.

In the four-part natural history series Airborne: Nature In Our Skies , join us as we soar to new heights and explore the lives of animals who have conquered the skies.

Experience the freedom of a true bird’s-eye-view as the creatures of the sky world learn to catch air, snatch in-flight meals, find love, and forge new flight paths.
Across four weeks, embark on an astonishing aerial adventure like no other, and soar alongside them through the most challenging and spectacular environments on the planet.

Why do we need a new narration by Amanda Keller? Why can’t 10 just air the original version with Keeley Hawes in voiceover? It’s not like Keeley is not well known here as an actress.

On the flipside, impressive that 10 are going to the effort to have it voiced locally? Does doing that make it count towards any local quotas, I wonder?
Makes them airing a show like this so early in the year seem a bit more palatable and a slightly better sell, I guess.

Are Ten able to use it as Australian content requirements if it contains Australian content?

Sort of a misleading way to promote the series, no?
In a way I can see how they’re trying to associate her with the show, but it’s not her series.

Seems a little odd. I bet that she’ll definitely get either millionaire or TBYG now

Good point that it could be leading to something bigger for her.

We’ll come back to this in a couple weeks saying it aged like fine wine, calling it now.
10 has released the synopsis for episode 1 of Airborne.
No animal is born to the skies, and while some learn quickly, for others it’s a leap of faith. This episode follows novice fliers facing their first daunting ascents.
I’ll be propping my eyelids up with matchsticks waiting fot that one! Not! 
Why on earth does 10 see this as a 7:30pm program. Surely a Friday or Saturday night is better suited. Why not have Taskmaster on the Wednesday night?

Jokes aside, probably 'cause they have MAFS on and they’re trying to not get their better products abused in ratings by MAFS, so they’re sacrificing Dog House.
My guess anyway.
I meant this about Airborne.
Was answering the Taskmaster question.
Airborne is probably to raise awareness about Amanda Keller because of either Millionaire or TYBG being potentially fronted by her (conspiracy theory by @Pozpa would be my guess)
And it should hopefully do better than Dog House.

10 really need to get their crap together and fix up their Friday nights. I know it’s tough competition against the AFL and NRL (and even ABC’s Gardening Australia), but endless repeats is not the way to go.
I know that Wheel Of Fortune UK wasn’t setting the ratings world on fire when it aired on Fridays in February with less competition, but could that make a return? Until new episodes of The Graham Norton Show starts?

IMO could Love it or List it do any better?
Perhaps. But Love It or List It seems to be rating well on Saturday nights, so id leave it there for the time being.
