[A Gentleman in Moscow]

FYI...

A Gentleman in Moscow - 10 HD, 9:15pm, Mon, 22 Apr 2024, 60 minutes

This is just a "preview" episode of a Paramount+ show which is already 4 episodes in.

[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

From the IceTV EPG:

IceTV has:

Insiders
'Series 2023, Episode 35 - Anthony Albanese - Prime Minister'
ABC TV HD, 9:02am, Sun, 4 Feb 2024, 58 minutes
REPEAT

Yep the PM is on this Sunday but it's not a repeat as such, rather it's the return of Insiders for 2024 (should be listed in "New Series"), so it should be:

'Series 2024, Episode 1 - Anthony Albanese - Prime Minister'


"Offsiders" which follows it is correctly listed but is missing from 'New Series' list.

Gabby Petito: ID Special Report
7HD, 10:45pm, Sun, 4 Feb 2024, 85 minutes
When Gabby Petito was murdered in 2021, her death was very quickly brought home to her fiance, Brian Christopher Laundrie - yet another incident of fatal domestic violence, which culminated in her death and his suicide. This program details the relationship which ended so tragically.
United States, English, Documentary, Crime

In Seven's guide we have:

The Murder of Gabby Petito: Truth, Lies and Social Media
Special, Documentary, Crime, Interview
Exclusive family interviews shed new light on the murder of Gabby Petito, an incident that gripped the United States and became a global online obsession.

https://tvguidetonight.com.au/specials/the-murder-of-gabby-petito-truth-lies-and-social-media-50148040

Which is a 1' 25" doco created by ITN productions & broadcast in the US back in 2022. Note the 7 broadcast is only for 85 mins & that includes ads so there's a fair bit of the original that's ended up on the cutting room floor!!!

Finally, given that this a doco from 2022 ... could this actually be a repeat?

Thankyou...

Hitler's Jewish Soldier? Aus Uncovered
SBS HD, 8:40pm, Thu, 8 Feb 2024, 65 minutes
A Jewish boy witnesses the murder of his family, survives the Holocaust by becoming Hitler's youngest soldier, has had four false names, two mistaken family reunions and now, thanks to DNA, is on the cusp of discovering his true identity on his deathbed. But is it too remarkable to be true?
United Kingdom, English, Subtitles, Documentary, Society & Culture

Can the above EPG entry please be fixed as this is the third season of Australia Uncovered and I already have a series recording setup for Australia Uncovered. I'm also not entirely sure the doco is from the UK as Dan Goldberg is Canadian currently for Mint Pictures which is based in Sydney. Time will tell.

Essentially we have: Australia Uncovered S03E01 - Hitler's Jewish Soldier?

Here's the series/show lingo from SBS:

Australia's most compelling documentary collection, Australia Uncovered, returns to SBS and SBS On Demand on Thursday 8th February from 8:40pm with a curated strand of four captivating stand-alone documentaries that explore incredible untold Australian stories and reveal new insights into some of the biggest issues facing Australian today.

Continuing weekly on Thursday evenings, the third season of the critically acclaimed collection investigates whether the story of a young Jewish boy who became Hitler's youngest soldier was in fact true – or a Holocaust Hoax – in Hitler's Jewish Soldier? – the gripping first instalment in the new season of Australia Uncovered.

Dubbed "The Mascot," Hitler's youngest soldier was, remarkably, a Jewish boy who hid his secret in Australia for almost fifty years before embarking on a rollercoaster ride to uncover his true identity. This is the astonishing story of Alex Kurzem, revealed for the first time in full in Hitler's Jewish Soldier? – the gripping first instalment in the new season of Australia Uncovered.

As Jewish journalist and director Dan Goldberg journeys across the globe in a bid to solve the mystery of The Mascot, what unfolds is an astounding true crime-esque investigation that will keep you guessing until the very end.

The remaining 3 episodes are:
Last Chance to Save a Life, The Carnival and The Miracle Fix.

And, yes, I'm aware that SBS themselves have listed this show in their own EPG as IceTV has done. While the next 2 episodes listed currently don't even mention Australia Uncovered at all !!! But we all know that the SBS couldn't give a $%#@ (I'll say no more....).

Thankyou.

OK, the Perth test cricket match finished yesterday so why does my U4 still shows the cricket in the EPG on my U4?



Online the IceTV "Guide" doesn't show the cricket



Surely, I shouldn't have to disable/enable the IceTV app on the U4 or similar to get the correct EPG on my U4?

I'm also reasonable sure that I've seen this before when there has been a large change to the EPG for some channel, such as, the early end of a cricket match.

[The 1% Club]

Some FYI's...

On Monday if I recall correctly The 1% Club was listed as S02E04. It was actually S02E03.

As listed here: https://7plus.com.au/the-1-club
From the New Series list:

Mystery of the Assassination of JFK
On Nov 22 1963, President John F Kennedy is assassinated, shaking the nation to its core. While an initial suspect is captured, many believe there's more to the story. Investigators and amateur sleuths alike have been searching for answers for almost 60 years. Will newly declassified documents and evidence finally provide closure?
Series, United States, English, Documentary, History

The above was neither a series nor even an episode. SBS did their usual crap and added a fictitious episode name for reasons that I really don't understand. It's not the 1st time, nor will it be the last time they do so. It was actually a repeat of:

History's Greatest Mysteries S04E03 - The Assassination of JFK

So you can delete all references to "Mystery of the Assassination of JFK" if you so desire.

The Hunt for the Family Court Killer
Examining a case of homegrown terrorism, domestic violence, and the rise of conservative men's rights groups responding to the progressive Family Courts.
Series, Australia, English, Documentary

Currently listed in the New Series for tomorrow @ 20:30 on Ten.

Nope. It's now been moved (twice) to Wednesday & Thursday night the 6th & 7th December at 21:30. I suspect that episodes 3 & 4 will be broadcast the following week at the same times.

Cheers...

Here's a snippet from the SBS 2024 "Upfronts" from a few hours ago:

SBS's Director of Indigenous Content, and proud Birri and Guugu Yimidhirr woman, Tanya Denning-Orman, announced the upcoming HD launch on free-to-air channel 34 from 5 December, and SBS will launch channel 36 as NITV available in standard definition.

Unfortunately this will mean all the other SBS channels will suffer a reduction in bit-rate. Now if all the FTA networks were to change their SD channels from MPEG/1024x576i to AVC/1024x576i then this wouldn't be such an issue as it would free up scarce bandwidth to allow for more HD channels or higher bitrates.

Missing Persons Investigation
'2023 - Series 1, Episode 7'
9HD Melbourne, 1:00pm, Tue, 26 Sep 2023, 60 minutes
The police are called in to locate a missing toddler, and a rebellious teen disappears from home.
Series, Australia, English, Real Life, Crime, Season 1 Episode 7

I have the above set to record, however, I cannot find this in any other online guide, such as Freeview, On TV Tonight or even on Nine's own guide @ YourTV.

I realise MPI didn't broadcast last night as normal because Nine rushed to the UK Channel 4 show: Dispatches: Russell Brand - In Plain Sight to air instead but I don't believe that Nine is now broadcasting at 1pm today. In fact if I search YourTV is shows MPI S01E07 listed next Monday night.

Perhaps I'm wrong ...

[before]

Region: Melbourne

I have a bunch timers set for the Channel Ten TV show: "Rock Island Mysteries" on Nickelodeon.

All of these are on Friday, Saturday & Sunday. This is before the premier of the 2nd series (consisting of 20 episodes) on Monday arvo at 5:05pm.

On YourTV EPG, these shows are listed as:

Rock Island Mysteries Nick News: Rock Island Mysteries Ep. 1a
Rock Island Mysteries Nick News: Rock Island Mysteries Ep. 2a
Rock Island Mysteries Nick News: Rock Island Mysteries Ep. 3a

These look like "Behind the Scenes" shows.

It also appears that the above shows set to broadcast on both Saturday & Sunday are repeats of the 3 episodes broadcast on Friday.

It would seem that a new show needs to be added to IceTV and other changes accordingly, but further research is needed to confirm the above.

Cheers
Barry...

This screens tonight on either Seven or 7Mate depending which region you are in. For example:

Melbourne & Adelaide
7:30pm 7mate

Sydney, Brisbane & Perth
8:30pm Seven.

However, this is not the 1961 film but rather Steven Spielberg's 2021 remake/revival, which stars Ansel Elgort, Ariana DeBose and legendary Rita Moreno and was a winner at the Academy Awards, Golden Globes, BAFTA Awards, SAG Awards, Critics' Choice Awards and more.

It is, therefore, not a repeat.
Now as to whether or not it's better than the original 1957 Musical &/or 1961 film ... I'll leave that up to the viewer but there are significant differences between them.

Melbourne.

I hope that this will be resolved sometime today:



with:



As I have a series recording setup.

I'm also not sure why Nine would have published this timeslot as "To Be Advised" given that the series "Killer at the Crime Scene" has been broadcast in the same timeslot for the previous 4 weeks.

TIA...

Following the death of legendary Sir Michael Parkinson Nine will repeat Parky! this Sunday night at 9:30pm.
The special was originally filmed in Australia in 2019 with Sir Michael speaking to Richard Wilkins.

[Series 16, Episode 25 - National Science Week 2023]

Q+A
'Science Special'
ABC TV HD, 9:34pm, Mon, 14 Aug 2023, 63 minutes
REPEAT
Joining Tony Jones to talk everything science: physicist Prof. Brian Cox, marine ecologist Emma Johnston, atmospheric and climate scientist David Karoly, astrophysicist Kirsten Banks and astrobiologist Martin Van Kranendonk.
Series, Australia, English, Current Affairs, Education, Season 12 Episode 19

Please note the above is not a repeat and Tony Jones departed Q+A almost 3 years ago.......

Series 16, Episode 25 - National Science Week 2023:
This week on Q+A... we head to infinity and beyond with some of our brightest minds. What will the future look like? How will artificial intelligence change the world as we know it? And are there other forms of life beyond our solar system?

As the world becomes ever more complex – how can innovation help us find solutions to some of the wicked problems we face? Has there been an erosion of trust in science since the pandemic? Are we preparing the next generation of scientists for the environment and dilemmas they are inheriting?

Deadly wildfires have ripped through the Hawaiian island of Maui, fuelled by a dry summer and strong winds from a passing hurricane. In what's been dubbed the "era of global boiling", is this our devastating new normal? What can scientists do to protect future generations?

In National Science Week, our panel will also explore issues of equality and gender and whether science is sexist, why space exploration matters and how we get more young people – particularly from regional and remote communities – engaged in STEM.

Joining Patricia Karvelas on the panel live in Sydney are:

Angela Saini, Award-winning Science Journalist & Author
Cathy Foley, Australia's Chief Scientist
Mark Scott, Vice-Chancellor, University of Sydney
Meganne Christian, European Space Agency Reserve Astronaut
Adam Spencer, Maths geek, Bestselling Author & Comedian

Oh & I agree the ABC should give meaningful names to episodes that are often repeated on a regular basis such as the (almost) yearly "Science Special" !!!!!

Region: Melbourne

Every thing I've seen this show is called: "Missing Persons Investigation", not 'Missing Persons Investigation Unit' and for whatever reason Nine has delayed the show by a week:

https://www.9now.com.au/missing-persons-investigation

(Broadcasting a repeat of 'The Weakest Link' instead ... go figure.)
