Have You Been Paying Attention?

My family and I love tuning into HYBPA on a Monday night. A hilarious, witty show that doesn't take itself too seriously. Bonus points if you HAVE been paying attention and know the news story they're referencing. The only reason for the 9 instead of a 10 is that very rarely there will be a boring panel, but the regulars and friends of the show are always great.

Honestly one of the worst tv shows I've ever seen. What is the point!

Always funny. Sam and Tom's banter is so good! Such a relief to see good quality tv amongst all the reality garbage that is served up. It will be a shame for this to end. You get a bit of news but in a funny and light hearted manner.

Funniest TV show I have ever seen. Period. Love this show.

This show is an attempt at a comedic look at last week's news in Australia. It's based on one of those high-paced morning radio formats, where everything is delivered at very fast pace in small bites. If you like your jokes to be delivered fast in large quantities, then you'll enjoy the show. Some of the segments can be genuinely funny (they do quizzes like 'supermarket own brand or sports celebrity?' -or a variant thereof- that can bring a smile or two), but the show is let down by the editorial choice to pander too much to tabloid/reality TV for cross-promotion purposes -love island is too much of a cheap target for genuinely funny one-liners. It's watchable, and as I said funny at times, but it lacks the sophistication and ironic de-construction carried by 'Mad as Hell' and 'The Weekly' (both on the ABC). The NZ version is a carbon copy. 7/10
