seriously ten

Welcome to Good News Week!
And the big news?
It's back on TEN
Courtesy of the writers' strike in the US…

Paul McDermott, the acid-tongued cherub of satire, will reprise his role as host of one of Australian
TV's most successful current affairs comedy shows, Good News Week, when it returns to TEN in
February 2008.

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 will bring Good News
Week back to our screens.

Each week, Paul & two Captains will lead teams of comedians, media personalities, politicians and
"special" guests as they decipher, dissect, deconstruct & 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."
