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.

did_you_see_that 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.

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.
