Ten Has Apparently Picked Up ‘Trial By Kyle’ For A Full Series Of Fkn Course

You are absolutely, 100-percent, definitely not going to even remotely believe this, but Channel Ten has apparently ordered a full series of the bafflingly strange, dizzyingly low-brow, nightmarishly inane Trial By Kyle. Y’know, that Judge Judy-like show except it’s Kyle Sandilands passing judgment on cases. Hoo boy.

Originally airing as part of Ten’s highly publicised – and criticised – Pilot Week project, Sandilands revealed that Trial By Kyle had not only been given a full series order by network bosses, but that it was also the only pilot from that entire block to be picked up.

Sandilands borderline sooked about the show’s sudden life on radio this morning during an interview with Rebecca Gibney, in which he bemoaned the show being picked up because it’s set to impede on the amount of rest he’s able to get.

Channel Ten did that Pilot Week shit and then I was the only one that got picked up. So now I’ve actually got to do something.

I don’t know why I did it. I did it thinking, “I’ll do this, I’ll take the money and that’ll be the end of it.” And they’re like, “Good news, Kyle. Yours is the only show we’re picking up. Goes to air in February next year.” I was like, “Ohhh, February!”

Doing this job and then having to go in there and film all that bullshit… It’s tough. I like to lay around resting. I get no rest.

Ten hasn’t officially confirmed the series order, and likely won’t until the network’s Upfronts presentation on October 31st. But with that said, Trial By Kyle by far and away outstripped the other seven shows on the Pilot Week block as far as ratings are concerned. The initial episode drew 519,000 viewers for the network, beating out rivals like the Australian version of Drunk History (512,000), Kinne Tonight (496,000), and Rove McManus‘ poorly-received return to the variety show format Bring Back Saturday Night, which only managed a measly 297,000 viewers.

So there you go.

Trial By Kyle.

Probably coming to TV screens in your home next February.

How the fuck about it.
