Shaking Down The Thunder

Hear from AFL greats in the premiere documentary series on the Swans’ journey to break a 72-year Premiership drought

Shaking Down The Thunder, a four-part series premiering 10.00pm Wednesday on Seven and 7plus, takes an intimate look at the Sydney Swans’ journey to break the longest Premiership drought in AFL history, as they chase the 2005 flag.  

Under the guidance of new wave coach Paul Roos, the beleaguered “Bloods” adopted a new ethos of leadership, brotherhood, commitment and empowerment which resulted in a new brand of football, one that at times raised eyebrows with critics. 

Lead by a rotating group of captains including Barry Hall, and starring Michael O’Loughlin, Brett Kirk and young guns Adam Goodes, Jude Bolton and Leo Barry, the team would finally take to the hallowed turf at the MCG under blue skies for the AFL Grand Final against West Coast in front of 91,828 passionate fans. 

It was a moment of hope, elation and nervousness for a club steeped in tradition dating back to 1874 in South Melbourne. Could this team break a 72-year Premiership drought against a formidable West Coast featuring maestro Ben Cousins? 

Hear first hand from Goodes, O’Loughlin, Hall and a cast of former players, coaches, and members of the media how they overcame the odds to create history.

Shaking Down The Thunder is created and produced by Endemol Shine Australia (a Banijay Entertainment company) in association with AFL Studios and the Sydney Swans, for the Seven Network.

Uniting the world’s most formidable creators, this season will see ten teams of two compete, with LEGO® powerhouses from six countries – Canada, China, Finland, Sweden, USA and New Zealand – clashing with four battle-hardened Australian teams in a spectacular series of awe-inspiring challenges.

Lending his signature humour and playful antics, Hamish Blake OAM returns to host while esteemed judge Ryan “Brickman” McNaught will continue to offer his brick wizardry to guide the competitors through the brick-built cosmos. The much-loved Sophie Monk will make special guest appearances in four episodes of the fiercest LEGO® season yet.

The twenty competitors, who include champions, finalists and favourites from their respective home grown series, will face challenges worthy of a world-class competition that will provide the most competitive season in LEGO® Masters history.

Expect magic, intrigue and suspense as their exceptional talents are pushed beyond their limits as they delve into the world of Harry Potter, attempt to make LEGO® fly and explore worlds of monsters and ancient civilisations - all culminating in the ultimate spectacle of the Grand Finale.

LEGO® Masters Australia: Grandmasters of the Galaxy will serve up astonishing, innovative builds as these wizards use their supreme technical skills and artistic abilities on mind-blowing creations in a titanic battle to win $100,000 and take the crowning title of Grandmasters of the Galaxy.

Desperate for love, stranded in paradise

Stranded On Honeymoon Island sees singles on their final search for love

Brace yourself for a dating adventure like no other.  

Stranded On Honeymoon Island, premiering this June on Seven and 7plus, takes 12 unlucky-in-love singles on a wild romantic journey. 

After exhausting every romantic possibility close to home, they are taking one final chance: a bold and unconventional search for love in a remote setting.

After a speed dating event, couples will be matched and marry, before they are dramatically stranded on a deserted island for 21 days in nothing but their wedding attire.

These courageous couples will be completely immersed in their brand-new relationships, free from modern dating distractions: no phones, no outside influences and no easy escape.

In search of true love and with nowhere to hide, they’ll need to face their true selves, holding a mirror to their deepest fears and insecurities in a bid to move forward.

Will romance flourish in paradise, or will their dreams of happily ever after be Stranded On Honeymoon Island? 

Stranded On Honeymoon Island is narrated by broadcaster Jackie O, one of Australia’s most successful and high-profile radio personalities. 

Stranded On Honeymoon Island is created by Danish production company Snowman Productions and produced by Endemol Shine Australia (a Banijay Company) for the Seven Network.
