The Show
Paul McDermott, the acid-tongued cherub of satire, returns as as host of one of Australian TV's most successful current affairs comedy shows, Good News Week.
Having blazed a trail for shows such as "Spicks & Specks" (an ABC TV production) and "The Glass House" (a GNW production), alleged TV legend Ted Robinson and his production company bring Good News Week back to our screens.
Each week, Paul & two captains lead teams of comedians, media personalities, politicians and "special" guests as they decipher, dissect, deconstruct and completely misrepresent the news of the week.
"A show like Good News Week (GNW) has never been more relevant. It was the show that arguably kicked off many successful variations of the same in recent years, and there is a notable void of this type of current affairs style comedy leading into 2008.
The writers' strike in the US has highlighted the importance of formats that are home grown, durable and flexible, and rarely do you see a show like GNW where years later you watch and can say that still works. Not to mention the chance to work with Paul and the team at GNW again was just too tempting to pass up." David Mott, Chief Programming Officer, Network Ten.
Paul McDermott said: "The return of Good News Week on TEN. Seriously? It's going to be like a party at Corey Delaney's place."
Ted Robinson said: "There’s no place I'd rather be. We're still the one."
