The first week of Summer non-ratings bring their own surprises. The History Channel offers The People Speak – Democracy Is Not A Sport, recorded recently at the Sydney Opera House including performances from Jack Thompson and Julia Stone. A compelling evening’s viewing.
Ben and Kate and The New Normal return in an attempt for these new series strugglers to get a foothold in the viewers minds and hearts – which, given they’re on Ch10, could be tough.
Stellar timing by Ch9 sees House Husbands and Howzat! Kerry Packer’s War repeats back in the lead up to Christmas, as well as week-on-week Friday night replays of the three Lord Of The Rings trilogy movies leading up to the release of The Hobbit on Boxing Day.
The best new show this week drops on Wednesday in The Wedding Band – a fun series looking at the life of the wedding party and everything it takes to be a weekend rock star.
