[The Cheap Seats]

Returning: The Cheap Seats

The Cheap Seats returns to 10 for a fourth season at the end of the month with hosts Melanie Bracewell and Tim McDonald.

8:30pm Tuesday, 30th April on 10.

Given the various controversies last year, the ABC has changed how often Q+A broadcasts this year. It will no longer broadcast weekly from roughly February till November as in previous years.

Q+A will now have multiple breaks during the year, where each broadcast group will consist of 6 to 8 episodes, then a pause of about 4 to 6 weeks, and so on and so forth.

Q+A returns on Monday 29th of April, 2024.

[The McBee Dynasty: Real American Cowboys]

US reality docuseries: The McBee Dynasty: Real American Cowboys

The 10-part series goes behind the scenes of Missouri's high-stakes world of farming and ranching as McBee Farm and Cattle is on the brink of becoming a billion-dollar business or a a financial disaster.

9.30pm Thursday, 11th April on 7Bravo.

I suspect the problem here is that Seven is using the same name for both productions with only the pgm description  identifying that they are actually different.

FYI ... There's no Aussie version next week.

[Living Black]

Living Black, Australia's longest-running Indigenous current affairs television program, returns for a 31st season on NITV in April.

Monday 22nd April at 8.30pm on NITV (Tuesday 23rd April at 10.30pm on SBS).

Thankyou Tiphanee

OK about "The 1 Percent Club" but not about leaving off the country id ... just wrong.

IceTV already uses country ID in the show titles and I can see no reason why the same cannot be done with this show.

Forget about using the "%" sign, simply update the 2 shows as:

The 1 Percent Club (AU), and

The 1 Percent Club (UK)

Thankyou Lisa

[both]

Lisa, Apologies for my delayed response ... been dealing with a unexpected death in the family.

Anyway, thankyou.

I would, however, very much prefer these shows to be as close to the real name as possible with country of broadcast listed on both, ie.

The 1 Percent Club (AU) and The 1 Percent Club (UK).

FYI ... A US version has now been commissioned by Amazon Prime as well, but that might take many years before it gets to FTA TV, if at all.

Cheers

[The 1% Club]

Hi,

1. The correct name of this show is: "The 1% Club". However, if the "%" character is going to cause issues perhaps better to have the show name as: "The 1 Percent Club".

2. The are currently 2 productions of this show ... the original UK production which is now into it's 3rd season and the Aussie production.

3. Next week the Aussie production moves to Tuesday night @ 19:30 and it appears that the UK production starts next Wednesday night @ 19:30.

ATM, IceTV has the Wednesday night as a "repeat". However, in 9's YourTV guide and several other TV guides we have:

The 1% Club
7:30PM - 8:30PM
CC
Comedy legend Lee Mack hosts the quiz show 'The 1% Club', where the questions are all about applying logic, reasoning skills and common sense.

While for Tuesday night we have:

The 1% Club
7:30PM - 8:30PM
CC
This is a game show like no other. Unlike most quizzes, they don't need to brush up on general knowledge to do well. All they need is logic and common sense. Hosted by comedian Jim Jefferies.

If this is true then IceTV needs to add a country ID to the show name:

* The 1% Club (AU) or The 1 Percent Club (AU), and

* The 1% Club (UK) or The 1 Percent Club (UK).

Thankyou

All episodes of Hillsong: A Megachurch Exposed, are up on 9Now & have been for several months:

https://www.9now.com.au/hillsong-a-megachurch-exposed

At the time, I thought it was 1 of those shows that networks add to their catch-up site first & then broadcast the show later. I have no idea whether or not that did happen.

From the IceTV EPG:

The Cook Up with Adam Liaw
'Mushrooms'
SBS Food, 7:00pm, Tue, 12 Mar 2024, 30 minutes
REPEAT
Host Adam Liaw is joined by former Ready Steady Cook presenter Janelle Bloom and China Doll head chef Frank Shek as they serve up their favourite mushroom dishes in The Cook Up kitchen.
Series, Australia, English, Infotainment, Cooking, Season 1 Episode 85

The above is not a repeat, it's a new episode in season 6 -> S06E11.

From the SBS online EPG we have:

Adam and his guests, globally acclaimed food writer Emiko Davies and hatted chef Alessandro Pavoni put the 'fun' in 'fungi' with a night of mouth-watering mushroom recipes.

I'm not sure you will get anymore or additional info beyond what has been provided by SBS. It seems complete to me. I suspect the IceTV "system" as automatically assigned it the Bluey series based entirely on the name.

Bluey
NITV HD, 12:00am, Fri, 1 Mar 2024, 15 minutes
Bluey is an inexhaustible six year-old Blue Heeler dog, who loves to play and turns everyday family life into extraordinary adventures, developing her imagination as well as her mental, physical and emotional resilience.
Series, Australia, English, Drama, Short Film

And in the SBS EPG we have:



I don't think this has anything to do with the more famous 6year old!!!

However, I have no idea what this "Bluey" short film is about beyond the description above.


PS... BTW, there are New Episodes of Bluey coming in April:

Season 3, Episode 48: "Ghostbasket" : 7th April 2024 @ 8am (7 min)
