Seven, 9.15pm

Yes, like the footy, it's back, which might be cause for a cleansing ale. (Undoubtedly the show's fulsomely promoted sponsors would support such a response.) This is the little low-budget AFL talk show which took on and knocked-off the long-dominant giant that was The Footy Show in Melbourne. Something it did with wit, good humour and a palpable love of the game.

Shot in a compact studio that will make social distancing a challenge, The Front Bar has made its mark with segments such as Under the Pump and From the Archives. And its reverence for the legends and colourful characters of the code make it a must-watch for footy fans. Hosts Andy Maher, Mick Molloy and Sam Pang are the starters tonight while Andy Lee has a turn on the bench.
