Synopsis

Adam Hills, one of Australia's favourite comedians and winner of Edinburgh's Best of the Fest award, is joined by two team captains, comedian and actor Alan Brough and radio breakfast announcer Myf Warhurst, as well as brave personalities who enjoy having long forgotten embarrassing stories laughed about on national television. Two teams go head to head as they sing, shout and delve deep into the recesses of their collective minds to help earn their team an extremely inglorious victory.

Reviews

Micransix Crappy film
Contentar Best movie of this year hands down!
CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
Ginger Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.
atomius This is one of the finer specimens of the modern quiz show genre. It's host, Adam Hills, and his two team leaders, Alan Borough and Myf Warhurst, are both full of character, energy and vibrant, but also full of interesting knowledge as well as that of their four guests, two on each team, each Wednesday. The show has remained fresh, and in a Simpsonesque manner, has simply added and added to it's quality and enjoyability. Such segments (some interchangeable) as 'Musician or Serial Killer' where teams are shown a photo in black and white and asked the question, or 'Cover Versions' where teams have to draw an album or song on paper in a short space of time, are both unforgettable and can lead to fascinating insights (both for music fans and others) into the modern human culture. All in all a brilliant show that by miles beats to a pulp such contenders of the quiz show as 1 Vs 100 and Deal or No Deal (which despite being great at the beginning, is beginning to lag). Ten Stars, and hopefully at least that many new seasons.
wcpom Just wanted to add a quick note to say this show is an Australian version of the UK show "Never Mind the Buzzcocks". I've just never seen this acknowledged anywhere, but it just has to be, the two shows are too similar.I really enjoy Spicks and Specks, but I think it pales a little in comparison to the UK show, as the few episodes I saw when I was in the UK all featured well known musicians. Whereas the Australian version sometimes pads the panel with obscure classical and musical theatre artists. That said, Adam Hills is always good, along with Al and Myf and the comedians are usually pretty good too. I especially like Ross Noble, who is a frequent panelist.
nobbytatoes Every week on Wednesday night i just cant wait for spicks and specks. It has to be the best music quiz show i have ever seen. What makes it different is that its so relaxed. They don't mind getting off topic and ramble on about crap, but its always interesting and you find out so much that you never knew before. Adam Hill is such a charismatic host. Adam Borough is a huge memory bank of music history, and Myf is such a dark horse; she'll surprise you sometimes.Every guest they have is such a treat, and all the regulars are great and they make you laugh so much.Australia's best quiz show ever.
Jason Spicks & Specks is a musically themed game show in which two teams go head to head using their knowledge of the music industry to answer trivia questions and participate in dinner-party styled games. The show is hosted by stand-up comedian Adam Hills and features the regular team leaders radio show host Myfanwy Warhurst & comedian Alan Borough. Team members consist of relatively well known identities from the entertainment industry. The show is genuinely entertaining to watch as the characters are relaxed and are able to express their charisma and wit creating an exuberant atmosphere. Guests are encouraged to share humorous anecdotes and exhibit their wealthy knowledge of music industry icons. Adam Hills is exceptionally well composed and is very effective as the compère using a combination humour and wit. The program title is taken from the title of a Bee Gee's song.
