After 11 years roasting brands for their stuff-ups, we’ve had one of our own. Serves us right. Apologies to anyone annoyed by the audio sync on last night’s broadcast. We’d say it was an elaborate test to check if you were paying attention, but our lovely, loyal and hardworking Gruen team were pretty disappointed too. We were so excited to show you that episode.

As with every blunder, it’s best when there’s something to blame. In this case: it was a dodgy machine at the ABC. But we probably shouldn’t bite the hand that feeds us or next season our panellists will be forced to sing and dance in masks. The machine has received a severe talking to from a loud and very much in sync voice.

For anyone that couldn’t persevere last night, the fixed episode is up on iView now. If you prefer late and oddly specific timeslots ending in five, it airs again at 11:05pm tomorrow or 10:25pm Sunday on ABC TV. Or there’s always our supersized version Gruen XL, on tomorrow at 8:30pm on ABC Comedy. We're told the audio will be airing at the same time as the video.

We hope you’ll tune into the show next week. Even just to see whether or not we tackle our own PR fail. Same time. Same place. Better sound*.

*Hopefully. Never over-promise in advertising.
