Great show Shaun Micallef is such a very funny man big fan of Shaun Micallef's Mad As hell on ABC hope to see more of this show. Sure the first 2 episodes were a bit boring but overall a fun show I've seen in a long time.

a new twist on an old format?

On the surface, this is a lookalike of the long running BBC show university challenge. Same kind of format, questions, and so on. Good, if bland, family fare, you'd think, where parents and kids can come together. Bla-bla-bla.
An then inject some Micallef mischief magic: up comes a first-class comedic post-modern de-construction of the genre, with unusual questions, and weird conundrums that don't make sense, all this wrapped together by a satirical homage to Paxman's tenure at the BBC show.
The comedic bits between the students' questions are highly watchable, though one wonders if they are designed for or at the intended audience. Thus, is still the family show network 10 thought they commissioned in the first place?
