I hope this isn’t going to be a series where it is all Seven personalities….

So we know Ray Meagher…
Is the sporting legend, Lleyton Hewitt?
Is the music legend, Tina Arena (with her hair pulled back)?
I actually think it’s this photo they’ve used…

Could the tv actress be Sigrid Thornton with short hair? She’s very popular.
Melissa Doyle opens the show saying this: “Ray Meagher, This Is Your Life, where we only talk about your time on Home and Away, and speak to no one about your film and television work prior to 1987”.
Jokes aside, i do hope they talk about his early roles.
I hope that the shows does not drag out too much, as in show us what’s to come after the commercial break, and then recap on returning from the ad break.

Sporting legend could be Ian Thorpe?

I think you’re correct about Ian Thorpe. That’s his head shape.

If these 4 specials prove even moderately successful, 7 should commission a survey or poll to find out who viewers would like to see featured on future episodes…

That’s right. Starts next Sunday at 7pm. There was an ad during the Red Faces Special tonight about the return.
And the first recipient is Ian Thorpe. Not a spoiler, since its the ad…

Look above and you’ll see discussion about a few of the guests…
So is that 10 episodes?
Of course with the Commonwealth Games coming soon
I like the set. Not all just “screens” and a nice nod to the past.
Unlike the 2011 reboot which was awful along with its overuse of pop songs
I hope they bring back the classic theme tune too.

Decent enough casting of celebrities, a lot of predictable names there though all fairly somewhat 7 aligned personalities I’d say.

90 minutes seems long for an episode based on past series. The original was 30mins, and I think some versions have been 60mins. Could it be 2 guests per episode?
That said, the lives of some guests could easily take up 90mins.
