200 episodes! Wow. It seems like only yesterday we were preparing for our 200th episode (and John’s 54th) and now it’s here already.

The beautiful and delightful Myf Warhurst joins us to talk about Spicks & Specks.

Also, “You’re under arrest” is not one of the things Acting Sergeant Alisdair Farrell says to us. We talk to him about how the police are portrayed in drama and also how they can do their jobs with cameras all up in their grill. He’s on yet another Cops-style show, Highway Patrol.

There’s some special surprises in-store including a guest appearance by our very own James Talia, live from some balcony at Channel 9. (Oh, now that’s no longer a surprise. Damn!)

Remember When… Tim Ferguson

With the Boxcutters team scattered around the globe this week, we take a wander down memory lane with an occasional series that we’ve now dubbed Remember When…

Remember When… Tim Ferguson joined us to talk about his impressively long career in Australian television, visiting on the eve of the inaugural Melbourne Comedy Festival show, Axed? If not, this is your lucky week because we’ve got an Encore Presentation in place of the regular show.

Here are the obligatory links:

As we sail into our 5th year of Boxcutters ? thanks for all the cards and pressies for our birthday last week, BTW ? we take a look at the future of another show of longevity, Hey Hey it’s Saturday, as we talk to Wilbur Wilde about how things are going in the run-up to the two special reunion shows, happening on Tuesday(!) September 29 and October 6. Keep an ear out – there seemed to be a strange echo in the studio that sounded a little like some names we know.

Operation Generation Kill is launched, covering the TV series from HBO based on the reports of Evan Wright, reporting for Rolling Stone magazine.

Brett points out the rape of a cultural icon in his I Don’t Buy It.

And we’ve got your Letters, viewing advice for the week with One Thing and the News coverage we’re known and loved for.

Hit us up at Amazon for your own DVD or Blu-ray
