Hands On Buzzers: Here's When The New 'Spicks & Specks' Special Is Hitting Your TV Screen

As promised earlier this year, a new Spicks & Specks special will hit Aussie TV screens next month... and we have a date!

The first of four specials - one this year and three in 2020 - will air on ABC at 7.40pm on Sunday 24 November in support of Ausmusic Month, with host Adam Hills and team captains Myf Warhurst and Alan Brough to return. 

“From the moment Alan, Myf and I were together in a room for last year’s Spicks & Specks reunion special, we had each other in fits of laughter," Hills said. 

"Any time I can spend with those two fools is time well spent, and if it takes four more specials to make that happen – so be it!

"The response to last year’s show was overwhelming, both in the studio when we filmed it, and at home when it went to air. Spicks & Specks has a special place in our hearts, and I’m genuinely excited to make a few more specials for the ABC.”

Following next month's reunion, the music-themed quiz show will again return in 2020 which promises to "delve into music of the '90s, noughties and the as-yet-unnamed 2010s". 

Speaking to The Music late last year, Hills discussed bringing Spicks & Specks back on a semi-regular basis.

"I said to Alan and Myf, ‘Look, I would happily do this every year for AusMusic Month,’ maybe even for the whole month. You know, come back and we’d film four episodes and we’d just do a month of Spicks & Specks," he said.

"But I mean, that was just me after the show on the high of doing it. Look, I think Alan and Myf were on a high from doing it as well, so they might have the same thinking as me."
