We’ve been getting tidbits of what to expect from Mad as Hell.
It’s been announced as a half-hour weekly round-up, branding, inoculation and crutching of all the important news stories of the week. There will be reportage, analysis, discussion, argument and dissection of the week’s events and what’s making the world turn every which way.
So, the cast: not surprisingly, but very happily, Francis (Greenslade) is on board. Also from the Micallef P(r)ogram(me) days is Roz Hammond. Veronica Milsom, Emily Taheny and newbie Tosh Greenslade (related?) round out the ensemble.
The show will have a studio audience! (Ticket info here) As previously ‘guessed’, it will be shot at the ABC Studios in Elsternwick, Melbourne.
So tell your parents, friends, cat(s), re-animated corpse in the basement, and that long lost uncle who moved interstate but you still write a Christmas card for – it starts Friday May 25 at 8pm on ABC1.
Fingers crossed, I might get to meet Shaun (again) this Saturday! Then there’s Laid, and then Mad As Hell…May looks set to be a Micallef overdose month. Yay!
Are you seeing him at the Williamstown Festival? Have fun. I’m sooooo looking forward to MAH!
Anyone know the minimum age to get into the audience?
I did get to meet Shaun at the Willy Lit Fest, and he told me and my sister that we should come back to Melbourne next year for a Mad As Hell filming so I presume there’ll be another series next year too!
