Stuck with free-to-air TV? Here are some great shows to help time fly by.
*Please note the times listed are a guide only and subject to change, depending on broadcasting arrangements*
ABC
The Assembly
The Assembly follows journalism students with autism interviewing some of Australia’s biggest names.
Mentored by Leigh Sales, the students build their confidence and ask hard questions to the guests, who include Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, musician Delta Goodrem, AFL player Adam Goodes and presenter Hamish Blake. What follows is a warm, insightful glance into the brains of people with autism and how they navigate this space.
Reruns of Season 1 air intermittently on Saturdays at 12:15pm. Season 2 airs later in 2025.
Guy Montgomery’s Guy Mont Spelling Bee
New Zealand comedian Guy Montgomery and Australian comedian Aaron Chen run a spelling bee show.
Each week, they’re joined by different guests (also comedians) and participate in spelling challenges related to a theme, while trying to guess another challenge set up by Chen. Some guests have included Wil Anderson, Hannah Gadsby, Jenny Tian and Tom Gleeson. The first episode of the show saw the guests trying to spell words related to Australia’s currency, but how successful they actually were is another matter entirely.
The show currently airs on Wednesdays at 8:35pm.
Network 10
Have You Been Paying Attention?
Another game show with comedians! Join Tom Gleisner, Sam Pang and Ed Kavalee, alongside their fellow comedian friends and guests, as they navigate the news headlines and make a game show of it, attempting (and it really is attempting) to answer questions based on the headlines. While the official goal is to answer the questions correctly, the unspoken goal is to throw Tom off his game by providing the funniest answer. Again, even if that answer is not even close to correct. Past guests have been Kitty Flanagan, Celia Pacquola and Robert Irwin.
The show currently airs on Mondays at 8:40pm on Network 10

The 2024 Paris Olympics started with a splash (literally). The Opening Ceremony featured 90 boats, filled with country teams waving flags, all floating down a rainy river Seine, as the crowd of 300,000 cheered from the riverbanks.

I've read thousands of novels over the last fifty-odd years and not one of them was romance, but while I'm trying new things – like paraplegia and prison – I might as well add in a romance novel to my life experience.

King 810: Music for Hard Times
By Stacey Stokes
King 810, a nu metal band from the USA, toured Australia in March. I went, and a lot of other criminals went too. There was even a few reintegration officers spotted in the crowd. Simply because, they strike a chord… with those who have lived hardship.
