SBS is currently filming its history quiz AD BC. It's a panel show hosted by Sam Pang - RRR broadcaster and recent co-host of SBS's Aussie coverage of Eurovision with Julia Zemiro. AD BC is a segment style show much like Rockwiz and Talkin' 'Bout Your Generation with two comedic guests and two academics. I managed to get to a taping last night with comedians Tony Martin and Angus Sampson among the panellists. The style of the show is very slick - the backdrops are retro and the graphics, as usual with SBS, are brilliant. I really enjoyed it and can't wait for it to pop up on our screens in August ... surprisingly, I even knew some of the answers ...

Brilliant name - sounds promising.
ReplyDeleteSam and Julia were just so fantastic this year on Eurovision. I thought their rapport was great and they had the right balance of piss-taking with geuinely interesting input about the acts.
The fact that there are comedic panelists is a really good aspect of the show because otherwise the audience might be too niche (academics and history buffs). Angus Sampson always steals the show though - he is such a gem (Remember the old days when he was the 'Enforcer' on Recovery!?)
ReplyDeleteI thought Eurovision was great too - Sam and Julia both have a really conversational style of presentation and are both witty so they played off each other well.
