7Two will begin broadcasting on 1 November 2009 on digital channel 72 (Seven Two, geddit?) and will be the first place to see the new series of Ugly Betty, Heroes, Lost and 24.

The rest of the channel's programming will include the "very best of British television", themed nights including Action & Adventure, Lifestyle and Movies, and cooking programs from the likes of Jamie Oliver.

While Nine is rumoured to be courting Top Gear, 7Two will broadcast the "other" UK motoring show Fifth Gear.

Seven has been running a teaser all week on channel 72 with echoes of Gough Whitlam: "It's Time".

Unfortunate timing really given the seeming impending doom of Fifth Gear. Still, good to see the show being (belatedly) aired here.

A bit useless since a lot of the cars reviewed would have been replaced already, but good nonetheless.

Better than nothing.

For those that have it, it's also on the Lifestyle channel (Foxtel)

True, but I'm still looking forward to their review of the Hillman Imp.

It is confirmed for 7:30pm on Thursdays. Which is good, the only other thing worth watching for those who don't have foxtel was that gardening bloke who looks like Jesus on Costa's Honda Odyssey on SBS. And his hand gestures get very annoying.
