Additional Specials

  • SPECIAL 0x1 The Best Of The Beast

    • ABC1

    Nineteen newcomers to TV were selected from across Australia to create a new, topical TV show from the ground up. They were locked in a room with a blank whiteboard, plentiful snacks and asked to “tell us something we don’t know”. The result was Hungry Beast, one of the most innovative shows in years - a unique mixture of comedy, serious journalism and something weirdly in-between. Hungry Beast: the world remixed. The Hungry Beasts are: Patrick Clair, Kirk Docker, Kirsten Drysdale, Marc Fennell, Luke Harris, Nicholas Hayden, Lewis Hobba, Dan Ilic, Chris Leben, Elmo Keep, Daniel Keogh, Nick McDougall, Jessicah Mendes, Veronica Milsom, Scott Mitchell, Kieran Ricketts, Ali Russell, Monique Schafter and Aaron Smith.
