Season 2 Episodes
1. Episode 1
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.
2. Episode 2
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.
3. Episode 3
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.
4. Episode 4
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.
5. Episode 5
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.
6. Episode 6
In Episode 6, the Micallef Program lifts the lid on Harold Holt to see if he's done. We also serve up a slice of the new UK period drama 'Spiffington Manse'. If that's not enough to sate your ravenous appetite for sheer entertainment - and we do mean sheer - we present the delightful 'non-sequitur family feud' for afters.
7. Episode 7
The penultimate instalment of the Micallef Programme features invisible poodles, identical twins who have never met, and the much vaunted clapperboard from the first episode of Rising Damp. Rarely has a comedy show promised so little. In other moments of hi jinx, we visit the morgue, plus Royalty gets some take-away for linch, and Shaun conducts a probing hypothetical on drugs and privacy.
8. Episode 8
The final episode of the Micallef Programme contains all the traditional, cliched elements we've come to expect in the final episodes of comedy series - a transvestite on ice skates, a man holding a goose, and a firing squad. In this episode, Shaun's eclectic comedy ranges across diverse topics, from cruelty towards children right through to cruelty towards the elderly. Fans of the series can also look forward to being let down and insulted by some coarse, lowbrow material towards the end of the programme. But there is a poignant farewell. Interestingly, the programme identification number is VPC09882V008.
