Mr and Mrs Murder announced

Stuart 5 Comments

The secret acting role which Shaun discussed in early March has been announced – a TV show titled “Mr and Mrs Murder”. It’s a comedy/drama to appear on Channel 10 later in the year, and Shaun will star along side Kat Stewart.

A clean freak with a heightened sense of justice, and a misfit with an encyclopaedic knowledge of just about everything, married couple Nicola and Charlie run an extreme cleaning business which specialises in crime scenes. Armed with wit, smarts and the invisibility that cleaning brings, the duo solve the crimes the cops can’t in a murder mystery with a smile.

Shaun isn’t writing the show, but it came from an idea he came up with Jason Stephens, and will consult on the script. The writing team will include John Banas, Jonathan Gavin, John Hugginson, Doug MacLeod, Christine Bartlett, Katherine Thomson, Marieke Hardy and Glen Dolman.

It’s possible Shaun agreed to the fourth season of TAYG partly to ensure the pick-up of this project. Which is a good thing, because that gives us plenty of Shaun for the year!

Recap: Shaun on In Gordon Street Tonight

Stuart 2 Comments

Appearing on the Season finale of Adam Hills In Gordon Street Tonight, Shaun was his hillariously rambunctious self.

He gave Adam a bottle of Adelaide water, which was splashed all over the set, tried to take over the show, played an old Roger Explosion clip and sang The Lady is a Tramp, in memory of Tony Bennett, who he believes was beaten to death at the end of the Logies…

Watch it here. See Shaun backstage before/after the show.

Unfortunately, he didn’t share much about Mad As Hell. But it was still pretty good watching.

Shaun in Gordon Street..

Quite often actually, as Shaun has produced a number of shows at the ABC Studios in Elsternwick. But in this case, he’ll be on the series final of Adam Hills In Gordon Street Tonight next Wednesday at 8:30pm on ABC.

We expect there to be some talk about Mad as Hell… yippee!

Returning for a second season is Laid, a black comedy written by Marieke Hardy and Kirsty Fisher. The focus of the show is Roo, a woman who finds out that all her previous ‘partners’ are dying, one by one, and with her friends, tries to determine why.

Shaun played the character of ‘G Bomb’ (ie. Roo’s gynocologist) in the first series, appearing in two episodes, and is back for the second season. How often he’ll appear, we’re not sure, but Kirsty assures us 4.75 times – or thereabouts.

Laid Series 2 starts May 2nd at 9pm.

Who does Shaun think he is?

Shaun certainly wants to know, and we’ll find out soon with the season 4 première episode of Who Do You Think You Are?

Delving into a family past he was never told much about, Shaun goes to Turkey to discover that his great-great-great-grandfather on his mother’s side had a brush with one of the most famous women of the 18th Century, Florence Nightingale.

But it’s the things he learns about his father’s family, originating from Malta, which are the most surprising and bring his relationship to his father to a new level.

In some unaired information, Shaun also found that part of his family tree ended up in Perth. He great, great, great-grandfather had seen out his last years in Perth, when the colony of WA was only 50 years old.

The episode airs Tuesday March 27th at 7:30pm on SBS.
