How the ABC bungled a $4billion payday - as Aussie show among the biggest in the world makes major move
The ABC has been left red-faced after the UK channel that airs Bluey announced it is set to make even more money off one of Australia's most successful cultural exports. This week, the BBC revealed plans to transform Bluey into a full-fledged lifestyle brand, marking another major commercial leap for the animated juggernaut. Alongside the expansion of its already booming merchandise empire, a Bluey feature film is now in the works, set to be released in 2027 and distributed globally by Disney. In just 2024 alone, Bluey was the driving force behind a bumper $4billion in commercial profits for BBC Studios through global licensing, product deals, and themed experiences. That staggering haul is more than four times the annual budget of the ABC, which is funded by the federal government and Australian taxpayers. The ABC was among the original co-commissioners of Bluey, which first aired in 2018, but failed to secure any significant merchandising deals. Despite being developed and produced in Brisbane by Ludo Studio, most of the benefits of show's commercial success has flowed offshore. Since its debut, Bluey has become a global sensation, celebrated for its heartwarming storytelling, gentle humour, and uniquely Australian character. Bluey-branded merchandise ranges from plush toys and puzzles to camping gear, clothing, and even nappies. In 2024, a large-scale Bluey-themed attraction, Bluey's World, opened in Brisbane, and was recently named one of Time Magazine's 'World's Greatest Places' for 2025. In the same year, Bluey was the number one most viewed show in the United States, recording more than 55billion minutes of viewing time on Disney+. 'From a retail sales standpoint, we are generating about £2.7bn in global retail sales across our entire portfolio and Bluey is a really, really big chunk of that,' Suzy Raia, who heads global consumer products at BBC Studios, told The Guardian. Yet despite its deep Australian roots, the ABC has reaped little financial reward from Bluey's explosive global success. As reported by The Courier-Mail in February, the ABC made no attempt to secure merchandising rights during the show's early development. Then-managing director David Anderson was present at the meeting where Bluey was first pitched to the network. 'We don't make money out of Bluey,' Anderson told the ABC in 2023. 'What Bluey does is provide joy to children and families all over the country and now all over the world. And that would be priceless.' In 2024, ABC Chair Kim Williams addressed the Australian Press Club, warning of declining public funding for the broadcaster and calling for greater government support. Just a few months later in June, the ABC slashed at least 50 jobs in a round of budget cuts, under the new leadership of Managing Director Hugh Marks. Among the casualties was the long-running current affairs program Q&A, once a flagship forum for national political and cultural debate. In an email sent to ABC staff, Marks justified the changes were part of the ABC stepping back from 'areas that no longer align with our priorities'.

‘Scandalous' Pamela Anderson drama she refused to watch is now free to stream
Baywatch legend Pamela Anderson is returning to the big screen in a brand new comedy sequel just as a shocking drama about her life was made free to stream A scandalous drama series about the early career of Baywatch star Pamela Anderson has recently been made free to watch. Despite receiving critical acclaim, it generated intense backlash for its depiction of one of the most controversial showbiz stories of the 1990s and was blasted by Anderson herself, who refused to watch it. As the beloved TV icon joins Liam Neeson in the long-awaited Naked Gun revamp, coming to cinemas next week, now's the perfect time for fans to remind themselves of Anderson's rise to superstardom. As part of a new package deal with Disney+, the eight-part limited series Pam and Tommy is now available to stream completely free on ITVX, along with several other titles from the streamer's catalogue. Chronicling Anderson's chaotic three-year marriage to Mötley Crüe drummer Tommy Lee (played by Sebastian Stan), the drama explores her identity as a sex symbol while her personal life comes under intense scrutiny when their intimate honeymoon video is illegally distributed across the United States. While it received generally positive reviews from critics, particularly for its performances by Stan and Lily James, the star herself told Variety she refused to watch it and claims she deserves 'a public apology' from the team behind the series. 'It was shocking,' Anderson admitted. 'Tommy probably thought it was funny. 'I remember Tommy writing me a note saying, 'Don't let this hurt you like it did the first time,' because he had heard through the kids that I was kind of struggling with the idea of bringing this all up again. 'I don't think he was portrayed kindly. I just know that I refuse to watch it.' Nevertheless, TV fans insist the series is an eye-opening watch despite the controversy. A five-star Google review raved: 'When I first heard they were doing this I was skeptical but I Binged watched it twice!! 'It was Very Thought Provoking actually Quirky, upbeat,funny, emotional, dark and very well paced. All the characters were cast very well.' Someone else defended the decision to tell the story: 'Even though this is not endorsed by PA herself as she feels this just victimizes her again and takes away her ability to tell her story, I really think the producers did a fair job in showing just how unjustly she was treated at the time. 'Although some of the events are not quite in order, timeline wise, it still shows how objectified she was at the time, and thus demoralized and dehumanized - and sadly how many famous women today are still treated this way!!! 'This was a cautionary tale of how some things still haven't changed.' And another said: 'It's a shame Pam Anderson hated the series. If anything I think this series painted her as the only sympathetic character. 'In hindsight of #MeToo and women telling their stories, the fact that she went through any of this is shocking.' Are you ready for a hearty dose of scandal or will you be giving this provocative biopic a miss? Pam and Tommy is free to stream on ITVX.

James Cameron's best movie is streaming now and it's definitely not Avatar
As hype builds for the new Avatar sequel, now is the perfect time to check out a beloved classic from James Cameron Arguably the best film ever directed by Hollywood auteur James Cameron is currently streaming - and it's certainly not Avatar. The blockbuster filmmaker is gearing up for the release of the latest film in his ambitious science fiction franchise, Avatar: Fire and Ash. One of the most highly-anticipated cinematic releases of this year, a new trailer for the third instalment is set to be released this week - but there's a catch. Fans will only be able to catch the trailer if they see Marvel's latest heroic action film, The Fantastic Four: First Steps, as it's exclusively attached to the new superhero movie. Avatar enthusiasts will no doubt be turning up in droves to catch a glimpse of Cameron's next adventure in Pandora, though many would argue the interstellar saga is a step down from other entries in his filmography. As he prepares to launch his latest vision on big screens around the globe, movie buffs will be pleased to know that one of his most beloved films, Titanic, is available to stream on Disney+. Considered by many to be the director's best film and one of the most successful and iconic blockbusters of all time, Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet star in this tragic masterpiece about the devastating sinking of the ocean liner on her maiden voyage. One five-star review on Google gushed: 'Titanic, directed by James Cameron, is not just a movie—it's an emotional journey that leaves a lasting impact. 'With its breathtaking cinematography, unforgettable performances, and deeply moving storyline, it remains one of the greatest films of all time.' Someone else concurred: 'The best movie of all time....!!!!! The best realistic, romantic and emotional story ever. 'We all know that it is truly a masterpiece created by none other than the Great James Cameron. 'It is heartbreaking and inspiring or rather encouraging at the same time. The performances of the actors are priceless…' And a third made a bold claim: 'This movie is hands down the best movie I have ever watched in my entire existence.' Overwhelming praise continued over on Letterboxd, where one Titanic enthusiast declared it 'an operatic spectacle, a romantic epic wrapped in James Cameron's grandiose filmmaking. 'But above all, it's a film that transcends the historical event itself to capture the heart of classic melodrama, where tragedy and love intertwine in an immortal narrative.' And another dished out the superlatives: 'Cinema's greatest Love Story. The Greatest Movie Ever Made. Which will probably never be topped in the history of Hollywood. It has everything cinema can offer. 'Based on a very real tragedy that it recreates tastefully and with excruciating details while still making us believe in a fairytale romance. 'Life and Love triumphing over Death in a way that only the movies can achieve so. Because yes, My Heart Will Always Go On and I'll never let go.' If Titanic somehow isn't your cup of tea - or you're just not in the mood for a three-hour sobfest - a number Cameron's other movies are available on Disney+, including the gory 80s classic, Aliens. Titanic is available to stream on Disney+.
