Myf Warhurst’s Nice in 2012
Myf Warhurst, star of outgoing rock trivia show Spicks n Specks is will host her own short series in 2012 on ABC1. Myf Warhurst’s Nice will follow Warhurst’s infactuation with all things retro and twee from her youth.
In a statement, the show is described as one “that embraces past cultural icons and takes a closer look at what surrounds us – the stuff you find in your own living room rather than in a gallery or museum. It’s a celebration of all the things that are just, well… ‘nice’.”
“I’m digging out the bedazzler, putting on my oversized koala wool knit jumper, and travelling the country to rediscover some of my favourite things, and meet some of my teenage heroes along the way,” says Myf. “Many hilarious (and occasionally dubious) things have shaped who I am, so it’s time to give them credit. And as far as life dreams go, I never got to marry Kenny Rogers so this is the next best thing.”
Expect dim sims, Copperart and plenty more 80s gems… maybe even Gem herself. The format is similar to other recent ABC successes of ‘ABC stalwart takes a trip’ in Judith Lucy’s Spiritual Journey and Lawrence Leung’s Unbelievable with a 6 x 30min series. The program will be in production for the remainder of the year.
“We are thrilled to present Myf’s nostalgic trip through pop culture and design,” says Amanda Duthie, ABC TV Head of Arts and Entertainment. “The series promises to be an honest, informative and thoroughly entertaining celebration of suburban pleasures and everydayness.”
A That’s Nice Productions/ABCTV co-production it will be directed by Aaron Smith and produced by Susie Jones, exec produced by Kath Earle.
