The Micallef P(r)ogram(me) - Season 2 (1999)

Watch this episode and you could win $50,000 if you buy an instant money ticket from a newsagent or wherever. I don't mean to suggest that these two things are linked. I just thought that you should be aware of that facility.

With Episode 1 of the Micallef Programme having been hailed as 'the right length' by ABC programmers, Episode 2 adopts a more conservative approach. Tim Rogers from You Am I chats about his new single, stand up comic Jean Steep does a tight five, and Shaun is abused by a bird.

On this episode of the Micallef Program, Shaun broadens his range as an entertainer, and adds Shakespearian acting, ventriloquism, stunt driving, and feng shui to his already impressively strung bow.

On Episode 4 of The Micallef Program, Shaun admits to a national audience that he is an intellectual. Fortunately he is speaking through the ABC Network, so his secret's relatively safe. Floods, fire, famine, and death are all dealt with fleetingly as is Shaun's dislike of flutes and British soap opera.

Episode 5 represents a very special episode - it represents something of a departure for the Micallef Programme. During an interview with Miss Murray River, Shaun has a flashback to when he shared house with the cast of 'English have a go'. Shaun also takes us on a claustrophobics picnic and premiers a new panel show which we guarantee will make all the other panel shows on at the moment look like the same thing, only less recently.
