RBT

6:30pm – Sunday, July 18 on Channel Nine

RBT, a compelling new series that goes behind the lines of the NSW Police force on random breath testing operations. From major roadside drink-driving operations and mobile breath testing to high- speed pursuits and drivers under the influence of drugs, RBT, narrated by Andrew Daddo, captures all the drama and danger that police face every day in their relentless campaign against drink driving.

As well as covering traffic operations RBT heads out to sea with the NSW Water Police who patrol the waterways where the blood alcohol limit is the same as on the road – .05.

Not so much a change, but more a succession … Nine’s Sunday nights.

Underbelly: The Golden Mile concludes 8.30pm, June 27, followed by new CSI at 9.30pm.

The following Sunday – July 4 – sees CSI move forward to its new timeslot of 8.30pm Sunday, followed by new episodes of Cold Case at 9.30pm. At 10.30pm, Sunday July 4, is the Wimbledon Men’s Singles Final.

Earlier on Sunday night – the final of Customs is at 6.30pm Sunday June 27. The new series RBT premieres at 7pm. The following week – July 4 – sees RBT move to its new timeslot of 6.30pm Sundays. That will be followed by Send in the Dogs at 7pm.

60 Minutes, sandwiched between all of these changes, remains at 7.30pm as always.

With CSI not rating as well as it used to, and moving to 8.30pm Sunday from July 4, could explain why GO will be showing Adults Only Two and a Half Men at the same time. This programming should see Nine drop a little in shares, with GO to increase hopefully by at least the same as Nine drops. CSI, at the earlier time, however, could well grow back to rating the million plus it used to.

UPDATED

More programming changes at Nine next week, with an episode of Who Do You Think You Are featuring Top Gear’s Jeremy Clarkson slotted in to 10pm Tuesday, after another “supersized” Top Gear from 8.30pm.

That means that Adults Only Two and a Half Men is off for the week (was only on once) and the season finale of Australian Families of Crime moves to 10pm Tuesday JULY 6 and its 4^th timeslot in its short run on TV.

Next week (June 27 – July 3) on Nine sees the finale of Underbelly: The Golden Mile at 8.30pm Sunday, the finale on the current run of Customs at 6.30pm Sunday, the last new episodes of the Big Bang Theory at Monday 8pm, the return of Rescue Special Ops at 8.30pm Monday and the premiere of new factual RBT (how many of these sorts of shows can Seven and Nine keep throwing at us?) 7pm Sunday night.

Meanwhile, Hey Hey continues on Wednesday June 30 for its 10^th episode, followed by the AFL Footy Show in AFL markets and 20 to 1 “Caught on Tape” for NRL markets.

Saturday July 3 features the Women’s Singles final of Wimbledon from 11pm, with the Men’s on Sunday night July 4, from 10.30pm.

RBT, a compelling new series that goes behind the lines of the NSW Police force on random breath testing operations, premieres Sunday, June 27, at 7.00pm on Channel Nine.

From major roadside drink-driving operations and mobile breath testing to high-speed pursuits and drivers under the influence of drugs, RBT, narrated by Andrew Daddo, captures all the drama and danger that police face every day in their relentless campaign against drink driving.

RBT pulls over some very colourful characters – a grandmother who says she never drinks. So why can police detect alcohol? And a plumber whose pregnant wife is waiting with a quiche on the table for dinner. Will a couple of beers after work on the way home land him in hot water?

We also meet a P-plater who stopped drinking at midnight. Eleven hours later he’s on his way to the beach for the day – but is he still over the limit? Then there’s the driver of the Toyota who appeared to pull up short of a police stop. Why would an innocent driver do that?

As well as covering traffic operations RBT heads out to sea with the NSW Water Police who patrol the waterways where the blood alcohol limit is the same as on the road – .05.

RBT is produced by Screentime for the Nine Network.
