    Dune Prophecy, Nugget is Dead, Bad Sisters S2, Television Event, Countdown50

    special guest in the TV Gold studio this week as TV Tonight’s David Knox joins the episode. Programs we review this week below. What will be the Show of the Week? Dune Prophecy (Binge, 6 episodes) A prequel to the two Dune movies. An ambitious storyline that has a flavour of Games of Thrones about it. The cast features five Australian actors including Travis Fimmel. Nuggett Is Dead (Stan) The latest Christmas movie from the streamer and two very different reviews from Andrew and James. Bad Sisters S2 (Apple TV+) A great cast tries to recapture the magic that was Season 1. And you haven’t seen that, forget Season 2 until you’ve enjoyed those episodes. Television Event (SBS On Demand) A documentary about the 1983 US telemovie The Day After which pulled a huge audience of people worried about the nuclear arms race. Countdown50 (iview) All three commentators this week agree this was a brilliant special. David Knox was in the audience and the TV Gold commentary was unanimous – more please ABC.
