Guy Mont Spelling Bee Australia in NZ: Three & ThreeNow

Guy Montgomery’s Guy Mont Spelling Bee Australia is on Three on Thursday 12 November at 7.30pm, listed as Episode 3, and ThreeNow has Season 2 episodes 1 and 2 up already. Three’s own episode numbering is not matched to ThreeNow’s here, how many episodes Three will show and its last date are not yet confirmed.

What time is Guy Mont Spelling Bee Australia on Three?

Thursday at 7.30pm, an hour long, with a repeat on Three +1 an hour later. We read the Freeview guide on Tuesday 10 November, around 10.40am, when it was open from that day to Tuesday 17 November, and it lists one broadcast in that window: Thursday 12 November. Sky’s TV guide, which we read the same morning, lists the same slot and also Thursday 19 November.

The 19 November rows come from Sky alone, because the Freeview guide didn’t reach that far when we read it, so treat them as listed rather than settled. The Freeview title is spelled “Guy Mont-Spelling Bee Australia”, which is worth knowing if you are searching a TV guide yourself.

Where can you stream Guy Mont Spelling Bee Australia in NZ?

On ThreeNow. The catalogue has Season 2 with two episodes and Season 1 with eight. We read it on Tuesday 10 November, around 10.40am, and the dates are the ones ThreeNow prints for each episode.

Both Season 2 episodes went up at 8.30pm on a Thursday, an hour after the 7.30pm start time Three has for 12 November. That fits a catalogue that adds each episode after it has been on Three, but we haven’t read a Three guide for 29 October or 5 November, so we don’t say the two were the same episodes on the same nights. ThreeNow’s home page carries a “new episode every Thursday” message for the show.

How do you catch it if you miss the 7.30pm start?

Two ways, both from what we read on Tuesday 10 November. The first is Three +1, which Sky’s guide has at 8.30pm on the same Thursday, and on Sky’s channel list Three is channel 3 and Three +1 is channel 503. The second is ThreeNow, though the catalogue only holds the episodes it has already put up, so Episode 3 isn’t in it yet. For how the free-to-air channels and Sky differ, the guides linked further down go through it.

Which episode is Three showing on 12 November?

Both TV guides call it Episode 3. ThreeNow’s catalogue has only Episodes 1 and 2 for Season 2 so far, so Three’s Episode 3 would be the next one if the two use the same numbering. The guides carry no season number, which is why we don’t put “Season 2” on Three’s broadcast and keep the season label to the ThreeNow table above.

ThreeNow describes the show as Guy Montgomery and Aaron Chen testing the spelling of well-known Australians with wild challenges. We keep guests and results off this page: it is a where-and-when guide, and Australian outcomes aren’t something we print.

Is it the same as Guy Montgomery’s Guy Mont Spelling Bee?

ThreeNow lists them as two separate titles. One is “Guy Montgomery’s Guy Mont Spelling Bee Australia”, which is the one on Three this week, and the other drops “Australia” from the name. We read both entries in the catalogue on Tuesday 10 November but haven’t compared what is in the second, so check the full title before you press play.

What else on Three is Australian?

The Australian shows on New Zealand screens are collected in our Australian shows in NZ section. Love Island Australia and Big Brother Australia are the reality ones, and Thursday night on Three also has The Traitors US later in the evening. If you don’t have Sky, the Freeview versus Sky guide explains how Three reaches you, and the NZ streaming prices guide covers what the paid services cost next to ThreeNow.
