  • Seven Unveils Content Plans for 2019
    SEVEN UNVEILS CONTENT PLANS FOR 2019 Slate includes new Bevan Lee drama and two supersized reality hits Geraldine Hakewill, Joel Jackson and Catherine McClements headline Miss Fisher spin-off MKR’s 10th anniversary season to launch the year “Top Gear meets food” in new Gordon Ramsay series New overseas dramas feature screen heavyweights Martin Clunes, Sheridan Smith, Kelsey Grammer and more (Sydney, Friday October 26): The Seven Network today unveiled its content plans for 2019. Four new local dramas, including the next offering from creator Bevan Lee; two supersized reality hits; a female spinoff to one of the year’s most heart-warming hits and the landmark 10th season of one of Australia’s biggest shows are just some of the programs set to take Seven into its 13th consecutive year of leadership. Commenting, Seven’s Director of Network Programming Angus Ross said: “After a close win last year, we promised to up our game in 2018, and the team has delivered in spades. We’ve broken records and dominated the ratings throughout the year. In fact, in every month we have never dropped below a 39% share, while our competitors have never been above 39%. Our worst is still better than their best. “What’s particularly pleasing is that this success is down to the strength and depth of our programming across the board. From 6am to midnight, we have the strongest spine of ratings winners, bar none. And with the AFL and Cricket locked up until 2022, Seven can guarantee those mass audiences, and certainty for our advertisers, for years to come.” NEW TO SEVEN IN 2019 BETWEEN TWO WORLDS From Australia’s most prolific creator/writer Bevan Lee (Packed to the Rafters, A Place To Call Home, All Saints, Winners & Losers, Always Greener) comes an intense, high concept contemporary drama series about two disparate and disconnected worlds, thrown together by death and a sacrifice in one and the chance for new life in the other.

    THE HON RICHARD MARLES MP SHADOW MINISTER FOR DEFENCE MEMBER FOR CORIO E&OE TRANSCRIPT TV SHOW PYNE & MARLES, SKY NEWS FRIDAY, 28 OCTOBER 2016 SUBJECT/S: Housing Affordability, Paid Parental leave, US politics, domestic violence leave, Brandis v Mr Gleeson. CHRISTOPHER PYNE: Well, welcome to Pyne & Marles here on Sky News Live on Friday the 28th of October. It's about 1:25 in the Eastern States, and Richard and I are coming to you from Adelaide and Geelong. We've all just seen that rather heart- wrenching press conference from the Goodchild family, and, Richard, you can't help but be moved by listening and hearing and seeing that particular press conference? RICHARD MARLES: Oh, that's absolutely right. It's - um, you cannot imagine being in their circumstances. And it is a tragedy which has really touched everyone and I think it is the idea that, at a place which is meant to provide enjoyment, you know, that whole family got on that ride to begin with, were expecting to have fun and, of course, it ends in that terrible way, and not to say anything about what, obviously, other family members saw. But, yeah, your heart absolutely breaks for - for that family today. CHRISTOPHER PYNE: Yes, no doubt. I mean a very Australian pastime to be at Dreamworld, enjoying a holiday – a family holiday. We've all done it, we all love to take it easy with our kids and our extended family, so I think the whole country has gone into a deep sense of mourning for that - those particular victims.
