The show took the loose guise of a fictional variety show that featured mock interviews, host monologues, audience participation segments and competitions, bookending character-based sketches. The character of David McGhan from Micallef's previous sketch series Full Frontal also reappeared in this series. The show was written and produced by Micallef and Gary McCaffrie: the small number of writers and small cast, as well as the different requirements of the ABC, meant that the show was far more surreal and abrupt than Full Frontal< ...

TISM (an acronym of This Is Serious Mum) are an Australian alternative rock band. An anonymous seven piece band from Melbourne, TISM first gained radio airplay with the single "Defecate On My Face". The single is typical of much of TISM's entire career. It was distributed in an LP sized cover, sealed on all 4 sides. TISM songs often appear to be offensive tunes of no redeeming value, they also have witty, sometimes dry humour that appeals to their fans. Their first and last performance was the 'Get Fucked' concert at the Duncan McKinnon Athletics Reserve in Springvale in late 1983, each subsequent gi ...
