Recently SBS aired 17 hours of The Ghan train travelling from Adelaide to Darwin as their first foray into what some are calling “slow TV.” As it happened, it was the highest rating program on SBS in the last 12 months.
A Norwegian broadcaster started the trend with a broadcast of a train journey from Oslo to Bergen, and the BBC broadcast a real time bus journey through Yorkshire.
This week, we want you to get into television programming, and suggest something else that could be broadcast as slow TV.
Four hours of someone’s granny knitting a cardigan, followed by four hours of someone else’s granny knitting a hat.

INTERESTING MOMENTS
Frequently, teams get answers in the wrong space on their answer sheet. On some occasions, the wrong answers are unintentionally hilarious. When asked for the song the Nazis sang in Casablanca, one team answered “Man, I feel like a woman” by Shania Twain (which was the correct answer to the next question.) That would have given that scene a VERY different feel!
Someone else guessed that the Bangles song Walk Like an Egyptian was F*ck the Police by NWA.
When they couldn’t remember Geena Davis’ name, one team said “the woman who played the mother in Stuart Little” which is not TECHNICALLY WRONG.
A pair of Austrian tourists got a question on Austrian history wrong.
In a jackpot round where spelling matters, one team wrongly answered Isreal as the birthplace of an author, but seeing as Israel was also incorrect, their poor spelling didn’t cost them anything.
See you next week.

It’s Australia Day at the end of this week, and we’re about to be flooded with talk of what it is to be Australian.
So for your team name this week, we want you to come up with something that an Australian would never say.

Tim Tams are awful.
