Shaun’s ABC news-based show
Quite often actually, as Shaun has produced a number of shows at the ABC Studios in Elsternwick. But in this case, he’ll be on the series final of Adam Hills In Gordon Street Tonight next Wednesday at 8:30pm on ABC.
We expect there to be some talk about Mad as Hell… yippee!
Pre-production has began on Mad as Hell, which is Shaun’s anticipated return to his more tradition comedy show format. It will focus on weekly events, similar to Newstopia, and air on the ABC. The show will feature a cast of about six, and the first episode is set to screen on May 25.
No, not a statement of fact, but the title of Shaun’s new ABC show, announced for 2012.
The show is described as “a half-hour weekly round-up, branding, inoculation and crutching of all the important news stories”. It’s been a few years since Shaun’s been on the ABC. His show Newstopia, which will draw obvious comparisons, aired on SBS from 2007-8.
“So, what’s this show all about? A good question, if I do say so – and it’s exactly that sort of direct, no-nonsense questioning of even myself that’s going to make this show the must-see event television that’s been virtually killed off by Kyle and Jackie O’s A Night with the Stars.” says Shaun Micallef.
10 episodes will air, with dates still to be advised.
Talkin’ Bout Your Generation will still be returning to Channel 10 in 2012, with 10 episodes to be recorded and aired. Plenty of Micallef for next year!
