Synopsis:

The Chaser team mourns the death of journalism. The new show examines how the media works or, in most cases, doesn't work. Why do we get the news we get? And inside the frantic rush of the hamster wheel, has the race to be first replaced the race to be right? Join the Chaser team as they step inside the new media paradigm where Edward R Murrow has been replaced by Karl Stefanovic. The Hamster Wheel - where breaking news reaches breaking point. The Hamster Wheel runs for 8 weeks and sees the return of the full Chaser team Andrew Hansen, Chas Licciardello, Chris Taylor, Craig Reucassel and Julian Morrow, plus writer Dominic Knight. New segments on The Hamster Wheel include: At Work With A Julia a situational comedy that follows the abject failures of an unlovable redhead; Keeping Up with the Jones; Conspiracy Theory your weekly guide to unhinged rants of Alan Jones; and 30 seconds of poetry read by regional Aussie rules footballers playing lawnbowls, to fulfill all the ABC's charter obligations.

In their brand new series, the award-winning Chaser Team go back to their roots as they pick over the corpse of contemporary journalism and ask "Where did it all go wrong?" The team is then approached by a furious lab assistant who tells them to stop touching the corpse and to leave the morgue immediately. Rejected and embarrassed and with barely a dollar between them, the team decides to take a vacation in Abu Dhabi with surprisingly unfunny, racist results.
