I like it. No reality, no singing, cooking, dancing. Something different.

The Sunday Telegraph says Tim Robards’ wife Anna Heinrich (from the first season of The Bachelor Australia) will offer legal advice on Trial by Kyle. She is a qualified lawyer.
Line-up for Ten’s pilot week
- Taboo with Harley Breen
- Drunk History with Rhys Darby & Stephen Curry
- Dave with Dave O’Neill
- Kinne Tonight with Troy Kinne
- Skit Happens (sketch comedy)
- Trial by Kyle
- Disgrace with Sam Dastiyari
- Bring back… Saturday Night with Rove
The network says “audience reaction, social buzz and ratings” will all be factored into the decision over which of the eight pilots aired during its planned “pilot week” in August will proceed into 2019 with a full series order.

Rove McManus is jumping into Hey Hey It’s Saturday territory with the live Bring Back … Saturday Night variety show
That’s a surprise package.
Wow a lot of GREAT stuff. A tonight show, a skit show, a sitcom, Drunk History, plus already known Disgrace!, Taboo and Trial By Kyle.

Its behind a pay wall for me
Same here.
Can someone copy the article? Lol
I tried to get around the article too, but have posted the Canberra Times article above.
Where are they getting the studio space for all theses shows?
The current studios is Sydney and Melbourne weren’t designed to handle all these internal productions.
They are pilots so i would say some have already been filmed. And some will film in coming weeks.
Pilot Week begins on Sunday, 19 August, only on TEN and WIN Network. Feeling overwhelmed? Don’t worry! We’ll have our good mates Grant Denyer and Angela Bishop on hand and ready to talk you all through it throughout the week.

Ros Reines reckons Sandilands’ show is over already, that Ten is seriously (ha!) pissed that he released details on KIIS and that the topics that excite him - sex, oral, anal, blowjobs etc etc, is toxic to the audience and that he hasn’t got as big a profile as he thinks he has.

Perhaps the lag time between Family Feud ceasing production and Pointless being filmed
See this is where it gets stupid. Some of these people have already established fan basis. Some bigger than others… Once again everything comes down to a popularity contest not based on actually quality. It’s a totally unfair playing field. Hope there are conditions on how they are marketed.
I don’t think they’ll just pick whatever is popular. When the ABC did a similar thing with comedies, they picked the show that was highest rating and had a lot of social media buzz Ronny Chieng: International Student. But they also picked another show which was got positive feedback but was not necessarily hugely popular The Letdown.

I don’t think that’s the right way to look at it.
Take Rove for example, well known local identity and arguably fairly popular presenter - Show Me The Movie was ordinary and rated accordingly.
Who’s to say he has any advantage over any of the possible lesser known talent fronting any of these pilots?
His Saturday night show could rate poorly and not get any traction from the viewing public who vote for whichever show they’d like to see get a full series order, but a smaller budget show with relatively unknown personality could resonate more with audiences and be picked up.
I think TEN have a good idea of what they want to sign-up for 2019 already. They are just waiting on the feedback for the final go ahead. I don’t think it’s going to be like a Big Brother phone poll.

It’ll either get a reasonable audience (for Ten) or fail spectacularly.
