EXCLUSIVE: Last month, Michael Sheen appearance on new BBC interview series The Assembly popped on social media, and now Australia‘s biggest and brightest names will get the chance of a similar experience.
We can reveal public broadcaster the ABC has ordered an Australian version of The Assembly (aka The A Talks), with Mark Fennessy’s Helium Pictures attached to produce a six-part series. The production was at the ABC’s upfront today in Sydney.
The Assembly is being adapted from French hit Les Rencontres du Papotin, which launched two years ago on France 2. Helium began production yesterday, and will continue for six weeks with a potential network premiere date in Q3.
The Australian show will follow a group of autistic student journalists, as they prepare to interview six of the nation’s biggest names, including Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese. The other stars are under wraps, but Fennessy told Deadline: “You can call them national treasures.”
Leigh Sales, one of Australia’s top interviewers, will mentor and prepare the journalists to learn their craft — how they research the interviewee of the week and work through spin to reveal the person behind the public persona. Each episode culminates as they collectively quiz the famous name.
Sales is best known as a long-time host of 7.30 – ABC News and as anchor of the country’s Federal Election and Budget night broadcasts. Notably, she has interviewed every living Australian Prime Minister, along with Hollywood stars such as Leonardo di Caprio. She was awarded with an Order of Australia medal for her services to journalism.

a weighted vest a few times a week.Prolific Food Network host and restaurateur Guy Fieri revealed that he has lost more than 30 pounds in the last four years thanks to a combination of intermittent fasting; high-intensity interval training (HIIT) workouts with a trainer; and frequent rucks of the hills of his California estate.“Once I started getting more serious about [intermittent fasting], the quantity of food I was eating, and exercise, it really changed the whole thing,” Fieri, 56, told Men’s Health last week.Inspired by military training, rucking is walking with a weighted pack. A rucker can burn 30% to 45% more calories doing the low-impact exercise than completing the workout without the extra weight, a former US Navy SEAL and fitness instructor explained to CNN last year.Research has also shown that rucking can improve muscle strength, aerobic conditioning, and endurance.Experts recommend starting with 10 pounds for 15 to 20 minutes and increasing the weight and distance by 10% every three to four weeks, making sure to take rest days between hikes.“Rucking provides a great external stimulus on your body that if done correctly with proper weight burns more calories than just walking, builds your core, and assists in having better posture,” certified personal trainer Christian Rivas told Health.com last year.
