The much loved ABC music quiz show Spicks And Specks is set to return to the public broadcaster in 2013.
Announced as part of their 2013 program today, a spokesperson confirmed that the show will have a new host, new team captains and new games in its revival. The show was previously hosted by comedian Adam Hills (who is working in the UK) with team captains Alan Brough and Myf Warhurst. It aired for seven years.
The ABC have not set a date for the announcement of the new hosts or captains.
The show announced it would be stopping in May 2011, and music industry stakeholders complained that it was a loss for music programming. At the time a spokesperson from the ABC told theMusic.com.au, “It's not our choice to finish it; the guys have decided that they want to call it a day. It's not the ABC's decision to finish the show; obviously we'd love to keep it because it's such a popular show.”
Also announced by the ABC today was a new series from Angry Boys and We Can Be Heroes creator Chris Lilley and a revamp of their market-leading online catch-up service, iview.
