Cheeky chaser boys Chas and Julian.
Uh, oh. Julian, Craig, Chas, Chris and Andrew are heading back to our screens in 2009. That means none of us are safe.
Yes, The Chaser's War on Everything will be back to harass politicians, sing dodgy musical numbers, prank corporate businesses and make fun of everyone except Anna Coren. Maybe Matt White might want to lock the door in the Today Tonight office?
But there are just ten episodes promised by the ABC. Sounds like they have taken a note from the Working Dog team -- quit while you're ahead and leave them wanting more?
Meanwhile John Safran, who first started out on the ABC's Race Around the World, will also return for his globe-trotting John Safran's Race Relations. He has already lambasted the music industry, religion and Ray Martin's rubbish bin.
Jonathan Welch, seen most recently in Seven's Battle of the Choirs, also returns to lead a choir of female prisoners in a Christmas concert for Prison Sings. ABC says it will help them prepare for life on the outside. Soapie fans might remember the stars of Prisoner giving a real life concert to cell mates during the 80s!
There are new six-part dramas with familiar faces. John Wood stars in the sports management series The Cut while Joel Edgerton in the mining drama Dirt Game.
Andrew Denton will produce a new series putting "thinkers and cage-rattlers" into a room and forcing them to come up with "an irreverent program about serious things." That's called Project NEXT.
ABC also announced second seasons for The Librarians, East of Everything and Bed of Roses.
Yay! The Chaser's will be back
good to see the chaser boys are coming back next year and I think ABC ordering only ten eps is a good thing. Seasons that drag on tend to run out of stuff to laugh about so the shorter the season, the better quality of what's on offer!
Yay finaly the Chasers are coming back but when in 2009 hope it's early in the year. they missed out on so much stuff they could of done this year to the politicians and the today tonight team maybe they should add a extra episode to the ten they are doing called if we were on in 2008 we would of !!!!!!
Ten episodes will go entirely too fast! Maybe our politicians and current affairs programs are doing so well they are lacking material? Lol
yay. but only 10!
Not 10 Episodes. I want the usual 26 Episodes thank-you. But still I watch them for those 10 weeks
AWESOME!!!! Can't wait. Watch Out Australia!
yay
F***g Australian news. I have enough of this. STOP THIS!!!!
Yay! Chaser's War on Everything is hilarious.
I suspect they mean the Australian ABC, rather than BBC.
Do they mean the BBC and not ABC?
F yesbut only 10 episodes??
Yes yes yes!! I love The Chasers these guys crack me up!!! Woo hoo cannot wait for them to return!
