Talkin’ ‘Bout Your Gen repeat
After less than enthralling figures last night TEN has slated a repeat of Talkin’ ‘Bout Your Generation for 7:30pm Saturday.

6:30 Young Talent Time rpt
7:30 Talkin’ ‘Bout Your Generation rpt

Four Corners: Feb 6
Four Corners returns to television on Monday with “Revolution in the Classroom”, an investigation by reporter Matthew Carney into a new approach to education aimed at improving the standard of school teaching.
The show visits three very different schools and talks to the people who are trying to change the system from within.

Kitchen Cabinet: sneak peek
What’s Liberal MP Christopher Pyne like as a chef? Pretty hopeless, apparently.
So when he has to cook for Annabel Crabb on her upcoming ABC series Kitchen Cabinet he asks friend Amanda Vanstone to take charge. Was it like that in the Howard Government too?
That’s what this new series is really all about, chatting to politicians in an informal environment and finding out more about them in unguarded moments. Lots of metaphors in the kitchen too (where are the knives people?).
But Pyne has a bash at the BBQ before Crabb asks him whether he has any friends on the other side …
