| | Starstruck
"So bloody funny. Awkward, loveable New Zealand sense of humour wrapped in a wry London wit. This is a joy."
- Marc Fennell
"Rose Matafeo’s show about a ‘normal’ person (her) dating a celebrity is just so funny and watchable. She’s the best."
- Hobba & Hing

|
| | | | Spicks & Specks
"It’s the best kind of music trivia show, where all genres are celebrated and everyone feels welcome. Myf and Alan’s music knowledge, and their ability to draw on it under pressure, never fails to impress me!"
- Zan Rowe

| One Holiday House, Eight Love Stories | | "An anthology series means you meet a new bunch of heart-broken or heart-hopeful peeps every week. The first episode is written by the excellent Patrick Brammall and Harriet Dyer who skewer the particular horrors of married life by casting themselves, a real-life couple, as halves of two different couples. Vicious mischief ensues." - Virginia Gay | | |

| The Newsreader | "Writer Michael Lucas is one of the all time greats – and this terrific team of actors headed by Sam Reid, Michelle Lim Davidson and Maria Angelico all puffed up to eighties perm perfection, is a treat I’ve been saving for myself for sometime." - Virginia Gay
"The writing is great, the costumes are amazing, the performances are excellent." - Hobba & Hing | | |
|
|
|
| Mystery Road: Origin | | "Director of Photography Tyson Perkins and Director Dylan River did such an incredible job, the plot is brilliant (and excellently scathing about our past) and no, you don’t have to have seen any of the previous Jay Swan mysteries to enjoy it. it’s a perfect stand-alone piece." - Virginia Gay | | |
|
|
|
| | Chopsticks or Fork
"Jennifer Wong is an absolute delight, in this bite size series that celebrates the joy and nostalgia of Chinese-Australian cuisine. It’s food, it’s family, it’s beautiful stories of how immigration makes life richer (and more delicious) for everyone."
- Zan Rowe

|
| | | | Ms Represented
"What better program for me to watch that seeing how women have been represented in The Federal Parliament over the years. An inspiring and insightful program hosted by one of my good friends and colleagues Annabel Crabb."
- Fran Kelly

| | Inside the Sydney Opera House
"Breathtaking building that hides a million stories, crises and triumphs. I’ve loved this building since I was a kid, but this totally changed the way I see the building."
- Marc Fennell
| | |
|
| | | | You Can't Ask That
"The show tackles taboo subjects in such a head on way, I love this award winning show and there seems like an endless supply of episodes... All of them, eye-opening and some of them mind-bending"
- Fran Kelly | | |
|
|
|
|
| Antiques Roadshow | "The only thing better than seeing someone’s trash get valued at a million pounds is seeing people discover their family heirloom they were going to use to fund their retirement is worth nothing."
