GREAT AUSTRALIAN CONCERTS: COLD CHISEL

SBS, 7.30pm

A cosy Friday night in front of the box just got a little more exciting – and rowdier. They’re Aussie rock royalty, responsible for some of the most legendary tunes that blare from pubs to parties and lounge rooms and demand to be sung with vigour and gleeful zeal. From “Khe Sanh”, to “Flame Trees” and “Cheap Wine”, there’s a treasure trove of classic songs. Expect noise levels to be elevated around homes nationwide as SBS serves up this iconic gig from Sydney Entertainment Centre in 1983 to mark Cold Chisel’s 50th anniversary tour. Billed as their nal performance, it’s a raw and invigorating display of rock’n’roll at its nest.

Question Everything

ABC TV, 8.30pm

Tired of the news? You’re not alone, but you can count on comedian Wil Anderson (pictured) to entertain as he spears the headlines and the endless cycle of news stories in a hilarious, thought-provoking fashion. Along with co-host Jan Fran, the Gruen veteran strings along a panel of clever, emerging comedians to break down the week’s news headlines, dig beneath them and polish up a fresh and witty perspective. How was the story covered, what went wrong, what was left out and how could it have been covered in a better way? In this everchanging and volatile media landscape, the news is generally not designed to make us giggle, but this panel show does stellar job of it.
