Shaun Micallef’s Mad As Hell - Pagan Holiday Special
Sunday 20 December at 8:40pm
Shaun decides to direct a play about the over commercialisation of Xmas but sees Francis decorating his doghouse and realises the spirit of Xmas is not dead. He cancels the play & goes home to watch this Xmas special instead.
Australia’s only topical news satire (excluding The Weekly, Sammy j’s spot, that thing Mark Humphries does on 7:30, those Juice Media sketches you can find online, Dan Ilic’s Rational Fear podcast, those excellent clips Huw Parkinson does on Insiders and that new quiz show the ABC are planning) is back to pour scorn and ridicule on our government and occasionally lob a softball jokes at Labor to try and keep the IPA happy. I mean really, how much material can you be expected to come up with every week about how ineffectual and pointless the Opposition are? What a bunch of useless layabouts.
STARRING: Shaun Micallef, Emily Taheny, Francis Greenslade, Christie Whelan Browne, Stephen Hall, the Kraken, and Tosh Greenslade.
Production Credit: Produced by ITV Studios Australia and Giant Baby in association with ABC TV. Executive Producers: Peter Beck and Shaun Micallef. ABC Executive Producer: Tarni James.
MAD AS HELL. Confirming Accusations of ABC Bias Since 2012.

i liked one of their promos for Mad As Hell recently, when they were on the Spicks and Specks set. Making the mistake that it was their set. lol. Francis got confused with the set build
