I really thought Neighbours would be saved😢 I grew up in the Eastern suburbs of Melb and on a lesson my driving instructor directed us to Pin Oak Court aka Ramsay Street! Geeked out (internally, wouldn't have been cool for my broody teenage image to fangirl overtly 😆)

Same, Snarky. I had heard from a friend who works in the biz that there was speculation it could be picked up by Paramount, like 5 Bedrooms was, and made into a one-hour show airing weekly for around 15 or so weeks at first - just to test the waters - and with a smaller cast ... but that doesn't appear to have grown legs.

It's sad, because the longer the break, the harder it will be to revive it - people have short memories and perhaps a lot of the characters won't be available if/when it did get picked up again.

There was a lot of chatter about Tangle being picked up for a third series too, but that was so long ago that even the kids have grown up!

Sensational head of hair and wears a dress beautifully but this is drab.

I love Anna! A good friend has known her since before she became famous and she is apparently as lovely as she seems. Unreal to think she gave up her legal career to become an influencer!

I am so happy to hear this. Love when a public figure is as nice as they seem and it's not an act.

It's amazing!!! Watch all of the series together.

I will say - and I'm probably the only person on this planet who thinks this - Steven Peacocke wasn't that great in it. I feel his role would have been better played by a newcomer. I can only ever think of him as "Brax".

Yep, no idea re Guy Pearce. I'd flaked by then and gone to lay down in bed. Missed the business end of the night (congrats on the gold, Hamish), and the International Entertainment. When will the organisers get the memo that we don't need international d-listers at the ceremony - we have enough talent in our own Asia Pacific region. I mean, Mel B seems like a decent sort but she added no value. I didn't see the chap singing so no idea, but surely Delta could've used a gig? Anyway, just my personal little bugbear 🤓

Thought this was Jessica Marais at first. I hope she's doing well. Hate how the DM follow her around.

Simone looks beautiful! And yes, very much like Jessica.

I agree that the DM should stop following her - that article about her working as a waitress was beyond stalkerish. She's obviously left acting behind; now leave her alone.

She looks like Chanel wrapping.

She looks incredible!

I was reading how she and her partner lived in the original Five Bedrooms house in between filming. That must've been nice!

Tony Armstrong gets his first Logie
By Meg Watson

He got it! As expected, Tony Armstrong has taken home the Graham Kennedy Award for most popular new talent.

Armstrong has been a sensation over the past year or so, both on TV and all over the internet. It was only earlier this week that his on-air celebrations of the Socceroos making it through to the world cup went viral – which no doubt helped him with the public voting for this category.

In his speech, Armstrong thanked his mum and everyone who’s taken a chance on him – including the National Indigenous Radio Service, where he got his start calling footy games before becoming an on-air sports broadcaster.

“If I hadn’t started out calling football, I wouldn’t have ended up here at the ABC,” he said.

He also used the moment to send a quick message to Justin Stevens, the ABC’s new director of news: “Contract negotiations, mate,” he said, pointing to the award. “We’re on.”

It was a fun joke. But also… he’s not wrong. Armstrong is a hugely exciting new talent – which is especially refreshing considering how static and familiar so much of Australian TV can be. He deserves a pay rise, at the very least.

Vibe check: what’s it like in the room at the Logies?
By Karl Quinn

I don’t know how much of this comes across in the telecast, but inside the room you get a real sense of the mood whenever an award is announced or a presenter takes the stage.

If you’ve been watching at home, you may not know, for instance, that the MAFS people have been and gone. At one ad break – which serves as a toilet break for the invited guests – the table of 10 rose as one and headed off. Synchronised bladders? An impromptu key party? The smart money says it’s common practice: the reality peeps are invited to stay until their category has been called, then it’s time to leave while everyone is still on their best behaviour.

The cameras – or rather the microphones – surely did pick up the chilling silence that greeted Tom Gleeson as he took the stage with Sophie Monk to present an award. Lots of people thought his irony-driven win of the gold in 2019 was hilarious, a stroke of performance-art genius. It’s safe to say not many of those people are in the room tonight.

The anger many evidently still feel towards Gleeson whittled away a little by the end of his routine with Monk (who made an excellent sparring partner), but was there a lingering antipathy that spilled over when Guy Pearce was announced as the most popular actor? Certainly there was an audible gasp.

No such downer vibes for Tony Armstrong, Sam Pang – doubling for Kitty Flanagan, and hailed by voiceover man Tony Martin as “Australia’s most popular actress” – or Bruce McAvaney and Patti Newton, both of whom drew standing ovations.

Bruce’s speech did go on a bit, though. For a moment, it looked like he was going to do an entire history of broadcasting.

Why did the audience not want Guy Pearce to win? I didn’t see that part.

And how can we forget Claudia in The Big Steal with Ben Mendelssohn back in the day 🥰

One of my most favourite Aussie shows was 'Tangle' - Ben was amazing in that! I hated him, which I think I was meant to do?

Claudia Karvan is most definitely a cool girl - right up there with Georgie Parker and Kat Stewart. Aussie has SO MUCH wonderful talent!!!

So did Travel Guides win something? And Home and Away?

I love Travel Guides but was a bit disappointed with last week's show that aired here, where they went on a Pacific cruise including a trip to Mystery Island and they were a bit rude to their hosts. They'd been told they were going to see the King, and that didn't happen, and they made all sorts of rude jokes about it. The daughter from the family made a point of going up to the hosts afterwards to thank them and say what a lovely time they had, but then ruined it by saying to her family afterwards that you have to do that even if it's not true ... it seemed so mean :(.
