Spicks and Specks

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
