When:
8:40pm Thursday 6th June on SBS.

... and somewhat bizarrely, they're showing Season 3, ahead of Season 2.

Yes read that article but as far as I'm aware Ten is going to call it season 2. We'll find out for certain shortly when the episodes are listed in various EPG's and on 10Play.

[Taskmaster Australia]

Getting back on-topic....

Taskmaster Australia is returning to 10 later this month.

Thursday, 23rd May at 7.30pm on 10.

The "1st" episode is currently listed at 60 mins, minus 20mins for ads & promos. I guess we'll see next Tuesday night.

Well, Seven has added 4 episodes to 7Plus:
https://7plus.com.au/the-marlow-murder-club
45', 44', 44' & 45', so it appears that each of the 2 UKTV episodes have been split into 2.

[NCIS: Sydney]

Season 1 of NCIS: Sydney will have its Free to Air premiere on Ten in May.

Wednesday, 15th May at 8.40pm on 10.

Please Note: If I remember correctly Ten broadcast the 1st episode of NCIS: Sydney as a "preview". Assuming that Ten broadcasts the 1st episode again on the 15th May (IMHO Ten would be idiots not to), I would suggest IceTV mark this episode as new.

Meanwhile, S2 is currently in production and will premiere on Paramount+ later this year.

[The 1% Club]

I feel the real cause of this is the EPG data itself that is released by Seven West Media. Even Seven gets it wrong.

Lets take a look at next Wednesday nights broadcast.

Starting here: https://tvguidetonight.com.au/ (which is the online guide linked to on the 7Plus webpages).

Change it to Wednesday night and we have:

The 1% Club listed for 7:30pm. But there is NO indication as whether it's the UK or AU.

However, if you expand the listing you get:

The 1% Club
7:30 pm - 8:30 pm
Game show
PG
Season 1, Episode 6
A group of 100 everyday Australians answer questions to see if they are smarter than 99 percent of the population.

Notice the reference to "100 everyday Australians".

And the "Watch on 7+" takes you to: https://7plus.com.au/the-1-club, which is the Aussie edition.

The UK edition is: https://7plus.com.au/the-1-club-uk.

Freeview also has it listed as the Aussie edition.

Without going through all of the online EPG's, the only 1 that I've found to be "right" (sort of) is Nine's YourTV guide.

As of today, searching through the EPG has "The 1% Club" listed only once, so it would be safe option to have both: "The 1 Percent Club Australia" & "The 1 Percent Club UK" defined to record both New & Repeats.

IMDB is incorrect as the 2 episodes that have been broadcast so far by UKTV average 85 mins, excluding ads (86 & 83).

So it seems to me that Seven may very well split the show into multiple parts to accommodate the ad/promo breaks. Either that or a lot of footage is going to left on the cutting room floor.

The "1st" episode is currently listed at 60 mins, minus 20mins for ads & promos. I guess we'll see next Tuesday night.

Thankyou Muchly.

[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.
