Recently SBS aired 17 hours of The Ghan train travelling from Adelaide to Darwin as their first foray into what some are calling “slow TV.” As it happened, it was the highest rating program on SBS in the last 12 months.
A Norwegian broadcaster started the trend with a broadcast of a train journey from Oslo to Bergen, and the BBC broadcast a real time bus journey through Yorkshire.
This week, we want you to get into television programming, and suggest something else that could be broadcast as slow TV.
Four hours of someone’s granny knitting a cardigan, followed by four hours of someone else’s granny knitting a hat.

Anything that could work as slow TV will get you a bonus point.
Have an interesting week.
