they had to stop doing it because they became too recognizable thus making many of the stunts that they pulled impossible to do.

They have had The Hamster series' over the past couple of years (Hamster Wheel\Hamster Decides) and later this year they are doing a series called We'll Have To Leave It There.

Agree with you there eddy.

Did you watch the final episode (The Internet is Coming) when it aired on ABC1 a couple of months ago?

I'd like to see a remake of "On the Buses", but made by Pauly from Pizza/Swift and Shift/Housos in his usual style.

Yup, it's Ten's third failure at competing with Sunrise and Today. Studio 10 is still going for the time being, I've checked Monday's TV guide-and yes, repeats or new B or C-list CBS sourced programming are replacing Wake Up's timeslot.

7TWO is good Captain, full of old english comedies. I liked Heartbeat a police show but old fashioned, you could get a good laugh out of it...

OH NO, not the Kingswood?!

Post by Newcastle Flyer »

For those who 'like' Kingswood Country it's on Channel 7TWO, I think Saturday mornings

Wait on, they'Dr allowed to show that these days?? But, but but that'll upset the PC Brigade!

The Comedy Company, Full Frontal or any sketch comedy show, we need to laugh again. Better than the annoying House Rules or Masterchef.
