Good to see Mel Tracina in upcoming episode of Spicks and Specks.
Writer and comedian David M. Green takes us on a trip down TV commercial memory lane as tonight’s Special Guest!
What are Mel and Tim drawing?
Adam Rozenbachs back talking sport this week.
I actually watched this for the first time this week (Yes I know I’m late to the party), what a great little show, excellent chemistry between Mel & Tim, throw the other Mel in and it’s a perfect combination!
Host of Beef TV and friend of the show Andrea Crothers is back as our Special Guest!
Taking us through sport is stand-up comedian and radio host
We’re ready, just need to plug in the antenna
Also roving reporter for the Breakfast program on ABC Radio Adelaide, as well as match day MC for Port Adelaide’s AFLW, and a reporter & presenter for ABC Pacific.
Another great episode tonight. The two wizard sticks and the new Leftovers segment were hilarious.

The fridge was a great prop - seemed to have some association with 10 based on the sticker on the freeze fro TEN Digital Television.
Bill Bailey is special guest this week, according to a short promo aired tonight.
We’re so lucky to have UK royalty in the house - Actor, comedian, musician and friend of the show
@BillBailey joins us at the desk!
Practising our royal greetings just in case we have some special last minute audience members.
I really can’t believe it’s taken me so long to watch more than a few minutes of this show but this year, HYBPA and The Cheap Seats have both become must watch shows for me each week. I’m going to miss them when they finish up for the year. Mel and Tim are great and I love the simple shows and this is certainly that. Have loved the recurring KFC gag for Tim and it must be working because every time he eats it on air I do start to crave it!
It seems Mel and Tim will cross to Stephen in Adelaide, where he has a show on Wednesday.
Also joining us at the desk tonight, Olympic Gold Medallist and BMX legend, Saya Sakakibara!
What’s in the tote? A massive new episode of #CheapSeatsAU with special guests Stephen Fry and Saya Sakakibara - tonight at 8:40pm on 10 and 10Play!
He is in Perth for the interview.
It happened again tonight during Mel and Tim’s chat with BMX gold medallist Saya Sakakibara. They showed the start of the gold medal race then Tim said “that’s all we are legally allowed to show”. The footage was taken from the Olympics YouTube channel.
They showed Saya in action at the Olympics in the intro (with a mixture of video from Nine’s live coverage and YouTube) and I reckon that was the limit.
I love the way that they can take the piss out of themselves when certain jokes fall flat too. It’s actually a difficult thing to do when there is that awkwardness of a bomb but all of them are able to carry through and laugh it off every time - and often use it as a recurring theme and set up for later jokes. A great skill that Mel and Tim manage to do quite effortlessly and the chemistry between them is fantastic for cheap and simple laughs.
Mel Tracina was at the red carpet of the Australian premiere of Gladiator II at Darling Harbour last night. The video will be shown on next week’s episode.
Eric is in Melbourne for Always Look on the Bright Side of Life, Live! tour, which begins tonight at Hamer Hall, Arts Centre Melbourne, before touring to Brisbane, Gold Coast, Newcastle, Sydney, Perth and Adelaide.
