Hamish visits the Spicks And Specks nerve centre to find out how the show is made, how the guests are selected, and the sorts of things that find their way to the cutting room floor. We find out who Adam's favourite guest is, Myf's worst Spicks And Specks moment, and Alan's secret technique for getting so many questions right. The team also reveal the rudest, crudest and weirdest guests. Spicks And Specks will be repeated on ABC2 - Thursday, October 09 at 8:30pm
