The late night repeat slot of The Oprah Winfrey Show is moving a bit earlier from today while the show rolls out some more must-see episodes this week at 17:30 on SABC3 for the 25th and final ''farewell'' season.

Oprah will move to 00:50 on weeknights from 02:00 previously from today.

Today sees the conclusion of Oprah Winfrey's Australian adventure and part two of the show she recorded at Sydney's Opera House with an audience of 6 000 people. Hugh Jackman, Olivia Newton-John, Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban are the guests.

Tomorrow, Tuesday 19 April is another must-see show, this one in which she reveals that she has a half-sister Patricia that she only recently found out about.

On Wednesday 20 April actress Portia de Rossi talks to Oprah about her battle with anorexia and the weight problems ''and the secrets that nearly killed her''.

On Thursday 21 April rock star Ricki Martin visits The Oprah Winfrey Show to talk about his life, his recent life altering decisions, being a dad and ''the declaration of truth that changed his life forever''.

On Friday 22 April SABC3 says viewers will see part 2 of Oprah and Gayle Yosemite camping adventure. Since viewers already saw this episode because of a mix up last week, who knows...perhaps this episode gets changed. I have asked about it and will advise when I get word.
