Hooked On Hung

Whilst commercial TV is cleaning its act for the Christmas non-ratings period, Showcase is rolling out the hookers with Satisfaction Season 3, and the Australian TV premiere of Hung; a show about a guy who was at the head of the queue when God was handing out wedding tackle.
After his house burns down he's forced into a life of male prostitution. Plenty of role-reversal hijinx ensue.

Andrew Mercado chats to Tiffany Dunk (TV Week) and Angus Fontaine (Time Out) about the show with plenty of hard-ons and heart.

Carnivàle comes back to town

The delightfully freaky Carnivàle comes back to TV on Showcase.
A mix of David Lynch, Steinbeck; and er, Lost, we suppose.
It had a run on ABC who perhaps weren't too sure what to do with it. Much harder to promote than say The Bill.

Andrew Mercado chats to Richard Clune (Sunday Telegraph) and our voice-of-the-viewer Julie "25 minutes" Souter about whether it's worth running away with the circus.

Why the hell can't TV shows start on time?!

Anyone who watches TV knows the drill. You tune in to your favourite show at the advertised time, but you have to watch ten minutes of the show before. After you've watched the show you wanted to watch, you tune to the next show on another channel and it started ten minutes ago.

Andrew Mercado chats to our voice-of-the-viewer Julie Souter and Richard Clune (Sunday Telegraph) about why channel programmers can't have their shows start on time!

The Ins & Outs of EastEnders

Australia's cultural export to the world is, of course, its carefree beach lifestyle. And you can see it in the international popularity of shows like Home & Away.

Britain's export is its quirky, rural villages. But obviously nobody told that to EastEnders.

Andrew Mercado chats to Michael Peschardt (BBC World) and Emma Tom (The Australian) about the show set in "sunny" Albert Square... EastEnders is gritty, noisy and in your face. So what do the writers of the show think they're up to?
