Bon Jovi: Oprah in Australia airing...

Check your local listings and set your DVR's.


THE highly-anticipated and much-publicised episodes of the Oprah Winfrey Show filmed Down Under will air in Australia and the US next week.

Oprah's Ultimate Australian Adventure was filmed last month, after Winfrey flew 302 audience members to Australia and toured the country, from Queensland's Hamilton Island to the Sydney Opera House, where she filmed two star-studded episodes.

Her 12,000-strong audience was treated to appearances by Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban, rapper Jay-Z, actor Russell Crowe, rockers Bon Jovi and Bono and actor Hugh Jackman, who famously injured his eye when he entered the stage on a zip wire.

Her adventures will air as four hour-long episodes on Wednesday January 19, Thursday January 20, Friday January 21 and Sunday January 23 at 7.30pm on Network TEN.

The episodes will also air in the US next week from Tuesday, January 18.

During her stay, Winfrey enjoyed a barbecue with Australian celebrity chef Curtis Stone on the Great Barrier Reef, visited Uluru and met Prime Minister Julia Gillard in Melbourne's Federation Square.

She climbed the Sydney Harbour Bridge and set sail on the harbour with Crowe. Winfrey declared herself an unofficial ambassador for Australia and expressed her love for the country.

Her show is broadcast in 145 countries around the world and her visit is expected to reap benefits worth tens of millions of dollars for Australia.
