Nathan Taylor TV NEWS Aussie soap ‘Neighbours’ is following the ‘Home and Away’ format, trimming its episodes from five to four a week. From this week, ‘Neighbours’ will air four nights a week, from Monday to Thursday at 6.30pm on 10 Peach. It will mark the first time in the show’s 36-year history that it hasn’t screened regularly five nights a week. Old episodes of ‘Friends’ will fill the gap on Fridays. Well-known actor Jerry O’Connell is officially the new co-host of US chat show ‘The Talk’, replacing Sharon Osbourne who was (unfairly) ‘boned’ earlier this year. O’Connell will join Sheryl Underwood, Carrie Ann Inaba, Elaine Welteroth and Amanada Kloots on the show, which screens on 10 every morning. Fun fact: nearly 20 years ago, whilst doing work experience at a hotel in the city, I delivered two complimentary bottles of water to Jerry O’Connell’s hotel suite. The more you know.

Set in the tumultuous world of a television newsroom, ‘The <strong>News</strong>reader’ takes viewers back to 1986 – when Halley’s Comet was a must-see, the AIDS crisis was taking hold and the Challenger explosion shocked the world. Amongst it all, newsreader Helen Norville is determined to build her credibility, while her colleague Dale Jennings is desperate to become a newsreader. From messy beginnings, the pair will form an unlikely bond that will transform the very fabric of the nightly bulletin. Six-part music documentary ‘McCartney 3, 2, 1’ is now streaming on Disney+.

This sounds like a must watch for any music fan! parra news » Tuesday, <strong>July</strong> <strong>27</strong>, <strong>2021</strong> Building Creative Brands OPENING THE HEARTS & MINDS OF PEOPLE BRANDS AND PLACES STALK US 02 8812 5994 @handlebranding Unit 3, 106 Grose Street North <strong>Parra</strong>matta 2151 handlebranding.com.au PN44814 23
