The new show started on Wednesday 5 February 2014. It was recorded and produced at the ABC Broadcasting Studios in Elsternwick, Victoria.
On 30 May 2014, ABC programmer Brendan Dahill announced that the show would not be renewed for a second series because it "hasn't resonated with viewers to the degree we had hoped." The show is to be pulled from the schedule after episode 20 has screened, with the final six shows of the 26 shows recorded, to be aired later in 2014.
Premise of the show
The show is hosted by stand-up comedian Josh Earl, who poses questions to two teams each headed by permanent team captains, singer/songwriter Ella Hooper and radio presenter/comedian Adam Richard. The overall style of the show is a mix of music and comedy. The revival includes a refreshed format and new games.
Delayed relaunch
The revival of the show was originally announced in November 2012, during the ABC 2013 program launch but the network decided to delay the relaunch until 2014. ABC executives were reportedly upset when news of the return of the show in 2014 was prematurely leaked before the intended official announcement.
