Today, I’m thrilled to welcome a true icon of Aussie television — Scott Cam, long-time host of The Block and one of the country’s most recognisable faces. With 19 seasons under his belt, Scott returns this year to lead the renovation juggernaut in a brand-new location: Daylesford, Victoria’s spa capital.
Over the years, Scott has overseen 103 home renos, mentored 186 contestants, and handed out more than $39 million in prize money. Off-camera, he’s a Gold Logie winner, family man, new grandfather, and a bloke who loves his farm in Mudgee.
In this episode of TV Central: One on One, we dive into the new season, life behind the camera, and what’s next for this Aussie legend.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
