It’s time to set sail with the crew of luxury superyacht My Seanna for more drama on the high seas – where, once they hit that open water, anything goes! When season 10 of the hit reality series docks this month, fan favourite Captain Lee Rosbach is once again at the helm, but needs to take some time away for personal reasons. Stepping onto the bridge in his absence is Below Deck Mediterranean’s Captain Sandy Yawn. With more than 30 years’ experience in the superyacht industry, Yawn has her own distinct style when it comes to wrangling the inevitable chaos involving the ship’s guests and crew. “I always want people to feel I’m approachable,” she says. “Having said that, I also need them to remember that I am in charge…

THE HAIRY BIKERS GO NORTH Starts November 10, Thursdays at 8.30pm and watch On Demand LifeStyle Food [125] When the pandemic hit, a raft of globetrotting lifestyle shows were forced to stay close to home, relying on local inspiration and exploring places that might not usually be on the itinerary, but that wasn’t the case for Dave Myers and Si King – aka The Hairy Bikers. While the affable pair’s laidback travelogue-meetscooking-show adventures normally take them all over the world, from the Mediterranean to Scandinavia, America and Asia, returning to their Northern England roots for eight-part series The Hairy Bikers Go North had nothing to do with COVID travel restrictions. “We made the decision to stay in the UK before the pandemic, because we actually realised that we hadn’t done a show…

All good things must come to an end. But the 22-race 2022 Formula 1 season – the first to feature the sport’s thrilling, racier new cars – comes to what might seem like an abrupt conclusion this month with the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix (held back-to-back with Brazil) on November 20, the earliest season close since 2010. Of course, there’s a very good reason for that, with F1 keen to avoid clashes with the FIFA World Cup in Qatar. It will also give the teams more time off over the European winter to fine-tune the cars – an important consideration given the clean-sheet situation. “It was 12 months of a lot of challenges, a lot of effort, a lot of sacrifice from all the company,” admits Alfa Romeo technical director…

It’s been a busy couple of years for Dick and Angel Strawbridge, raising their kids, steering their businesses through a pandemic and reintroducing weddings at their beloved château. But the affable Escape to the Chateau (watch On Demand) stars are excited for a change of scenery come February, when they swap France for sunny Australia for their Dare to Do It tour. “We are ecstatic – it’s the topic of chat nearly every day,” Angel tells FOXTEL magazine of their first visit to our shores.

UPRIGHT (s2) Starts November 15, Tuesdays from 8.30pm and watch the complete series On Demand from 4pm FOX SHOWCASE [112] We first met Lucky Flynn (Tim Minchin) and Meg Adams (Milly Alcock) almost three years ago, when their worlds collided on the Nullarbor. The pair’s cross-country road trip to deliver Lucky’s upright piano to his dying mum Jen (Heather Mitchell, Love Me, watch On Demand) in Perth became a misadventure full of devastating revelations that ultimately bonded them. Now, the unlikely duo is back on the road as season two of FOXTEL Original comedy-drama Upright premieres this month. “We’re going up into a jungle and Lucky and Meg are much more mired in confusion rather than desolation and emotional complexity,” Minchin tells FOXTEL magazine of where the action picks up. “They’re going towards…

When I go into the middle of my field, with all the trees surrounding me, it’s just like they’ve known me my whole life. I’m an activist and I’m not doing it for myself.…

From 1947 to 1970, thousands of British orphans and children from struggling families were sent to Australia under a scheme that promised a better life, only to face unthinkable abuse and neglect in harsh institutions. In an emotional Long Lost Family special, presenters Davina McCall and Nicky Campbell shed light on this shameful chapter and reunite exiles with family members. Says Dorian Reece, who arrived in Western Australia at age eight and was subjected to frequent beatings and worse in Christian Brothers homes: “[Authorities] didn’t have the right to intervene in such a manner, but they did, and the consequences were that the likes of me went to places that weren’t good to grow up in.” LONG LOST FAMILY SPECIAL: SHIPPED TO AUSTRALIA Monday November 21 at 8.30pm on LifeStyle [106] and…

Touring all around the world is one of the perks of the job as an international cricketer, but nothing beats returning to play on home soil – especially in a major tournament like the ICC T20 World Cup. Having triumphed just 12 months ago in the United Arab Emirates, Australia hosts the 2022 edition and is looking to become the first nation to win it back-to-back. As the T20 World Cup reaches its pointy end this month – with the final held at the MCG in Melbourne on November 13 – Australia can expect enormous home support as it strives to lift the trophy once again. “I was part of the ODI [one-day international] squad that won the 2015 World Cup in Australia,” says Test captain Pat Cummins. “Even though…

In season three, Johnson (as played by Australian actor Uli Latukefu) will turn from hero to heel – the pro wrestling term for a villain – and emerge as The Rock. It’s an exciting time for Johnson, but it’s also a confusing one for…

BULLET TRAIN (MA 15+) Available from November 16 Be prepared for an outrageously comic, grossly blood-soaked experience. Reluctant operative Ladybug (Brad Pitt) boards the bullet train from Tokyo to Kyoto to recover a briefcase. Also onboard are assassins Tangerine (Aaron Taylor-Johnson, pictured left, with Pitt) and Lemon (Brian Tyree Henry), charged with delivering the kidnapped son (Logan Lerman) of The White Death (Michael Shannon), plus a $10 million ransom in the briefcase. Then there’s Kimura (Andrew Koji), who has his own agenda, as does Prince (Joey King). Conflicting agendas result in nonstop violence and a bizarrely enjoyable romp, with Ladybug trying to negotiate unredeemable situations and Taylor-Johnson proving supremely funny as a no-holds-barred killer. Director David Leitch, who’s no stranger to blending comedy and violence, delivers a king hit with…
