The Catch-Up was a live daytime talk show broadcast in Australia on the Nine Network during 2007. Developed by Mia Freedman, the program showcased a female panel consisting of co-hosts Libbi Gorr, Zoe Sheridan, Mary Moody, and Lisa Oldfield. Its debut occurred on 26 February 2007, with production taking place at Channel Nine's studio located in Willoughby.
The show's concept revolved around women engaging in conversations about opinions, current events, and celebrity news alongside guest participants, bearing resemblance to the format of The View.
Prior to its launch, the series encountered difficulties stemming from the network's contentious choice to discontinue the long-running US soap opera The Young and the Restless after 33 years, in order to accommodate this new program. This decision provoked considerable discontent among devoted fans.
Cancellation
Owing to poor viewership figures, the series was terminated on 13 June 2007, with its concluding episode broadcast on 15 June.
