What about the suggestion that the ABC is jumping on SBS' coat-tails with a new music trivia show?

Wow. That was ... restrained.
I don't know how long SBS have had their show in the planning stages (I'll bet that Brian N has had it in mind for years!), but I do know that the ABC show has been in pre-prod for months. I'd also hazard a guess that the ABC might have beaten SBS to the punch if they hadn't been changing the cast around. (How long has Hillsy been back in the country? 2 weeks? 3?)
If these shows had been on 10 and 9 instead of 2 and SBS then the EPs would probably have been throwing shit at each other. The newshound must've been disappointed that Paul C didn't jump at the subtle bait.

Brian is my favourite warm-up guy of all time. I get the impression that he thinks that I'm a freak, though - he's seen me at so many show tapings that he recognizes me and knows not to talk to me (I know all his schtick off by heart now) but I don't think he knows I'm a comic. Not that that little nugget of info makes me much less freaky.
