Would've preferred the show to be an SBS OnDemand exclusive if SBS thought there wasn't "enough viewers" to maintain a consistent timeslot, to be frank and honest.

Agreed. But that's Viceland for us.. Don't think we had the viewing numbers to keep it at 8:30pm AEDST sadly, even if the AEDST Livestream was a few minutes behind in real time (I did enjoy the "silence ads" on livestream, peace and quiet)

Should be on demand.

Referring to Qld time in regards to "On Now" - AEDST had just finished and the episode is now on SBS on Demand

Also forgot to mention, this was recently updated on the 2025 season episodes over in China. We're getting the 2023 episodes (labelled Season 15 in Australia).

Ditto. Actually went out this Friday (I'm not usually a social butterfly) and ended up missing tonight's episode.

SBS also had to filter the Sponsor/Product Placement from the couch, thus the heart graphics.

Artificial Intelligence. Basically China's way of using that technology.

Not sure if he's still around for this broadcast, the sound guy's name was Ma Jia for the entirety of the classic seasons (2009-2016) and the last season of V2.0. The bloke was a legend in those years.

They've just become less frequent in the recent seasons. We've skipped a few seasons in Australia.

Chen Ming, Huang Lan. Chen Ming have been there since 2020 (Huang Lan since the Huang Lei days of 2016) and this episode seems to be from 2022 season.

There has been fill-ins whether one or the other has been on medical leave

China's way of using artificial intelligence.

Ditto. We can get DST timed broadcasts into Queensland on On-Demand livestream now.
