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*
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.
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.
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.

A new children’s book addresses the incarceration of parents. It’s titled My Dad’s Gone Away and was written by Andrew Krakouer and Jacqueline Dinan.
Set on a quiet island in the dead of winter, The Wife and the Widow is a gripping mystery/thriller told from two perspectives.
The genre is crime fiction, set in the Australian outback, in rural, sometimes insular communities where everyone seems to know everyone else. This is set in the outback NSW town of Cobb where a woman, a local school teacher, has been stoned to death.
