  Speaker 1: The Show Report. Well, there's been rumours, there's been talk
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: on the street, there's been fan fingers crossed. Has there? Yes.
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: And now the series order is officially in. Glee is back.
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: Don't stop believing. That's Glee Club. One might credit that
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: show for putting that Journey song back on the map.
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: It was pretty huge. So this move has been on
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: the cards for a while. Recently, creator Ryan Murphy revealed
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: he'd just finished a reboot script for the musical comedy series,
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: which originally ran for six seasons between 2009 and 2015.
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: He's confirmed he's been in touch with many of the
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: original cast members. I don't know how it's going to work, though.
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: I mean, they are considerably older now, well past high school.
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: I don't think they're in Glee Club anymore. What is it,
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: the all-time Glee Club now, don't they have for the pensioners?
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: But one of the original stars, Chris Colfer, has said
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: Glee fans would probably come after me with pitchforks and
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: jazz hands if I said no. Season four of Kitty
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: Flanagan's Fisk has been confirmed. She will be back next
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: year along with the full ensemble. That includes Julia Zemiro,
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: Aaron Chen and Marty Sheargold. Fisk has been a huge
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: success for the ABC. attracting millions of viewers, setting viewing
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: records on iview and earning widespread acclaim, including multiple Logie
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: and Actra awards. If you're not across it, you need
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: to do yourself the obligatory favour. Riddle me this, Batman.
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: How does the Michael Jackson movie not qualify in the
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: musical category at the Golden Globes? Well, there's music in it,
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: isn't there? Yes, there is. It's about someone who made music.
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: Lesser things have qualified for the music category. Their submission
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: for inclusion has been denied, which means if it is
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: to have a chance at any awards, it'll be in
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: the best drama category. The Globes ruled Michael doesn't meet
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: their musical criteria. Lionsgate, the studio behind the film, is
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: considering actually appealing that decision. And here's a headline that
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: jumped out at me this morning. E-bikes are not for jousting.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: The UK e-bike rental company Lime has responded to a
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: viral video filmed in a London park by specifying that
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: the company's electric bicycles are not for jousting. Oh, yeah,
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: that was... I could picture it. Yeah, that was just
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: what it sounded like and it would have smarted. The video,
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: which you can, of course, Google at your leisure, shows
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: artist Jack Carden and his actor mate Cam Tholomew I
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: dressed in suits of armour and jousting with lances while
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: riding the Lime Company's e-bikes. Carden's calling the event performance art.
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: Lime's calling it the very height of stupidity. And their
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: spokesman said... While we appreciate the medieval spirit, safety must
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: always come first. Tansy, victory is mine. Come on then. What?
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: How about you? You are indeed brave tonight, but the
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: fight is mine. Oh, and enough, eh? Oh, any opportunity.
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: Python would have done it if there had been e-ridables
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: back then. Oh, they indeed would have.
