Why is Adelaide never on TV?
 
I have never seen a programme on Adelaide shown on British TV.
I have seen programmes on all of the other citys.
Brisbane
Perth
Sydney, Sydney, Sydney etc...
Melbourne.
Why not Adelaide???????????
I know Adelaide is small but surely it is worth the odd mention.
Any reasons you know why its not.
Are you looking Sky or BEEB.
Cheers. :beer:

The (free) travel channel on sky used to show a series called postcards from Australia, they repeated it over and over and over. One of the episodes covered Adelaide and the Barossa.

Go here http://www.traveldealsdirect.com/schedules.asp

and type in Australia or Adelaide to keep an eye out for it.

yes very conservative, lot us "croweaters" only colony not to have been settled by convicts ,so we tend to look down on the rest of the riff-raff in this country. Good english gentry stock,methodist ministers, scottish crofters ,german prodestants from Silesia, american whalers, mix this lot up.and you get some funny results, Adelaide likes to be left out of the lime light you want excitement ,go to "Brisvegas," or "sodomy" or "melbum"if you want a nice quiet place to bring up the kids ,then Adelaides for you.....:D :beer: MM

I don't know why Adelaide is never shown on telly, but I was on telly in Adelaide the other night, does that count? adelaidegirl

Adelaide is normally on TV every night - or so it seems.
Of course that would be on the news - for having another weirdo murder happening !
Adelaide is certainly the weirdo murder capital of Australia.

Really :)

Never seen that one in the brochure? I think I might have noticed if it was.

Surely with a population of just over 1 million (or is that why there is only one million, they keep knocking off the new immigrants) and with modern DNA techniques it wouldnt be long before the majority of murderers are behind bars.

Anybody actually living in Adelaide got a view on this??
Living being the key word here. No ghosts please.

What is the statistics on murders per capita?

Is it any worse than other states?

Cheers. :beer:

So whats your opinion MM? It dosent make great reading does it.

How do you find Adelaide?

How would you describe it.

A breeding ground for Murderers
A hot house enviroment.
A nice place to live (however long that may be)

Your opinion would be interesting.
