What is it? It’s new, it’s exciting, it starts Sunday August 19 and it has nothing to do with aeroplanes.
Every single night of the week, TEN will air a brand new show.
There will be eight original and entertaining pilot (a.k.a trial) episodes, and YOU will be able to have a say on what will come back as a series.
How? TV ratings and Social Media reactions. The shows with the best buzz and ratings will return to Australian televisions in 2019.
So, what are the shows?
