Wednesday nights with Micallef drawing to a close

Two shows with Shaun Micallef are about to end on ABC1 and TEN.

2013-05-07_1318Wednesday nights with Micallef are just about over.

Tomorrow night is the final episode for Mad as Hell at 8pm on ABC1.

A week later we have the final episode for Mr and Mrs Murder at 8:30pm on TEN.

One can’t presume whether both will return yet but Mr. Micallef has been working hard for about the last six months, so hopefully a good break is in order.

This week’s episode of Mr and Mrs Murder takes place at Werribee Zoo. It’s not often you’ll see a local drama with hippos and lions on TV. They’re usually confined to the executive suites.

When Gary the big cat keeper dies and Marie the hippo keeper goes missing, it looks like the food chain has been reversed at Maabade Zoo. But it isn’t the animals out for blood. It’s a murder.

Enter Nicola and Charlie and their intrepid discovery of disparate clues, a sliver of foil, forgotten face cleaner and a pack of cigarettes. It’s not enough to identify the killer although there are plenty of suspects in the frame.

Marie the hippo keeper was Gary’s girlfriend, could the murder be a lovers tiff gone wrong, causing her to flee?

There was no love lost between Gary and fellow lion keeper Reg, a recent altercation was just the tip
of a deep-seated rivalry.

Lorcan the likable tour guide freely dishes the dirt on everyone else, is he trying to deflect suspicion? Larry the head keeper is a tightly wound spring who could explode at any moment, especially if someone threatened the zoo and its animals.

Stephan has long loved fellow hippo keeper Marie. Could he have killed Gary in a fit of jealousy? Charlie & Nicola are close to the truth, and it’s a truth someone will kill them for.

  1. Looking at the ratings compared to last season, I’d say Mad as Hell will be back next year. It did better this season then it did last season.

    Mr and Mrs Murder, on the other hand, kinda fell into a ratings slump. Yes, it’s a good show, but the ratings seem to say otherwise. I wouldn’t be surprised if Ten gave it the flick, but considering how bad Ten have been doing lately they may keep it around, possibly put it on 11?

  2. My theory is, if he hasn’t already started prepping for 10’s new breakfast programme, where he will definitely need a good rest before starting the early morning grind.

    That is if someone at network Ten has had the guts to stand up to Lochy and Gina to allow his comedic but extremely accurate depiction of Australian politics and exposing it, exactly as it is and those who influence it the most
