Spicks and Specks

I am male 35 years old and love old style music, watch the show daily and almost every night I have another lovely song on my playlist thanks to you. Tonight I heard the explanation for Sir Elton John's SONG FOR GUY!!!. I knew the song but Because it's hard to get the song title without words I didn't have it. I cried such beautiful music and I never knew the facts behind the song. Thank You so much for information about the song and all the other funny stuff aswell!!. Go hard you entertain us all.

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.

Spicks and Specks is both a comedy program and a musical quiz show, and the best part is it's Australian. Comedian Adam Hills hosts the show while comedian/actor Alan Borough and radio presenter Myf Warhurst are weekly team captains. These three alone provide plenty of hilarious moments and interesting musical facts to keep you watching. And if that isn't enough talented comedians guest star alongside gifted musicians, what other show gives you this often explosively hilarious combination? With four talented guests appearing every week this show is never lacking in entertainment.

At times Spicks And Specks can be entertaining, other times it can be quite informative, it can get you thinking and it will always make you laugh. Spicks and Specks combines the worlds of music and comedy perfectly. Both team captains are a wealth of musical knowledge and factoids, while the guests are always knowledgeable, entertaining and hilarious.

The combination of comedy, musical facts and entertaining rounds such as 'Substitute' and 'Look What They've Done To My Song Ma' make Spicks and Specks without a doubt the best quiz show on Australian television.

The original team has a chemistry you can't fault plus a genuine knowledge and love of music and music trivia that makes it work so well. Although the 2021 series is missing some of the interaction that comes from a live audience it's still a must watch show. Crossing fingers for more again in 2022.

Sadly another case of pushing a reasonable format for too long,the forced jokes & even more forced overdone laughter has worn far too thin.Even the what the hell are they cackling about looks on international guests faces is becoming ever more apparent
