Episode 1
Watch this episode and you could win $50,000 if you buy an instant
money ticket from a newsagent or wherever. I don't mean to suggest
that these two things are linked. I just thought you should be made
aware of that facility.
Episode 2
With Episode 1 of The Micallef Programme having been hailed as
&ldquo'the right length” by ABC programmers, Episode 2 adopts a
more conservative approach. Tim Rogers from YouAmI chats about his
new single, stand up comic Jean Steep does a tight five, and Shaun
is abused by a bird.
Episode 3 On this episode of The Micallef Programme, Shaun broadens his range as an entertainer and adds Shakespearean acting, ventriloquism, stunt driving and Feng Shui to his already impressively strung bow.
Episode 4
On Episode 4 of The Micallef Programme, Shaun admits to a national
audience that he is an intellectual, fortunately he is speaking
through the ABC network so his secret's relatively safe. Floods,
fire, famine and death are all dealt with fleetingly as is Shaun's
dislike of flutes and British soap opera.
Episode 5
Episode 5 represents a VERY special episode... it represents
something of a departure for The Micallef Programme. During an
interview with Miss Murray River, Shaun has a flashback to when he
shared a house with the cast of “English Have A Go”.
Shaun also takes us on a claustrophobics picnic and premieres a
new panel show which we guarantee will make all the other panel
shows on at the moment look like the same thing only less recently.
Episode 6
On Episode 6, The Micallef Programme lifts the lid on Harold Holt
to see if he's done. And we also serve up a slice of the new UK
period drama ”Spiffington Manse”. And if that's not
enough to sate your ravenous appetite for sheer entertainment -
and we do mean sheer - we present the delightful “Non
Sequitur Family Feud” for afters.
Episode 7
The penultimate instalment of The Micallef Programme features
invisible poodles, identical twins who have never met, and the much
vaunted clapperboard from the first episode of Rising Damp. Rarely
has a comedy show promised so little. In other moments of hi jinx
we visit the morgue, plus Royalty gets some takeaway for lunch, and
Shaun conducts a probing hypothetical on drugs & privacy.
Episode 8
The final episode of The Micallef Programme contains all of the
traditional, cliched elements we've come to expect in the final
episodes of comedy series - a transvestite on ice skates, a man
holding a goose, and a firing squad. In this episode Shaun's
eclectic comedy ranges across diverse topics, from cruelty towards
children right through to cruelty towards the elderly. Fans of the
series can look forward to being let down and insulted by some
coarse, lowbrow material towards the end of the programme. But there
is a poignant farewell. Interestingly the programme identification
number is VPCO9882V008.
