ABC iview: recent highlights
Urzila – 29 April
Series. Get ready to dive headfirst into the brilliantly chaotic mind of comedy powerhouse Urzila Carlson with her new sketch comedy series.
Urzila is gleefully outrageous, capturing Carlson’s fearless, no-filter approach to comedy in full flight. Each episode mashes up razor‑sharp stand‑up with cheeky, fast‑firing sketches, many of them plucked straight from the wildly funny stories she riffs on during her live shows.
It’s a TV series powered by two decades of stand-up comedy chaos: bold, boisterous, and unmistakably Urzila.
Joining her on this energetic ride is her handpicked ensemble of rising comedy talent: Bron Lewis, Carlo Ritchie, Andy Saunders and Anisa Nandaula.
Guy Montgomery’s Guy Mont Spelling Bee Season 3 – 29 April

Gruen Season 18 – 29 April
Australia’s favourite multi-award winning, multi-award losing, longest running (probably now that Neighbours has bitten the dust again), and most importantly, the only show about advertising is coming back for an 18th season.
But wait, there’s more. The show is new and improved. Zero calories. Full of protein. Contains collagen. Active ingredients. No artificial colours, flavour, or intelligence. And is guaranteed to be on free-to-air or your money back.
Host Wil Anderson says: ‘We were really hoping that the end of the world would stop advertisers, but it turns out that we live in hell, and they’re selling us snowballs.’

Silent Witness Season 28 – 2 May

The Assembly Season 3 – 26 April

Taking the next step in their media training under the continued mentorship of award-winning journalist Leigh Sales, the graduate students share their personal success stories from their first foray into the media.
