The Fat

The Fat was an Australian sports based talk show television series, broadcast and produced by ABC TV.The series began on 6 March 2000, and ended on 18 November 2003. Host Tony Squires, with regulars Peter Wilkins and Rebecca Wilson ran through the week's sporting news, showing the lighter side of things. One particular highlight of each episode was Slammin' Sam Kekovich's deadpan analysis of all things Australian. Regulars guests included: Dr Turf, Kerry O'Keeffe, Wil Anderson, Jason Akermanis and Liz Ellis. Initially the show consisted of a 30 minute Monday night wrap of the weekend's sports. After gaining popularity, 2002 saw the show extended to a one hour timeslot still on a Monday night. In 2003 the format, scheduling and length of the show was altered, with a one and half hour show being shown on Friday night. Criticisms arose of the new format, which saw the show turn away from only sports topics and into a variety show. The Friday night scheduling eliminated the wrap of the previous weekend's sporting events eventually resulting in a ratings drop and much of the popularity subsided. In February 2004, Tony and Rebecca moved to rival network Seven, to present what was essentially a carbon copy of The Fat, the short-lived 110% Tony Squires.

Renovation Rescue

Renovation Rescue is an Australian TV show capitalising on Australia's love affair with home renovation. It's the same idea of Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, but with a few differences: ⁕The renovation only takes two days, not a full week. ⁕Instead of waking up the family by bellowing through a megaphone, they simply knock on the door. ⁕No bus covers the house when the family returns home. ⁕There is no "secret room" in the household when under renovation. The series showed a group of people of all trades renovating a house in just two days. The show was presented by three hosts, Rebecca Harris, Scott Cam and Peter Everett. Scott would always have a celebrity apprentice in the show such as Rozz Switzer who appeared on the show's first season when they did up the house of a retired firefighter and his family.
