We’re keeping this week’s guests under wraps, and quite frankly, make no apology for it. Of course McDermott will be there, presiding over all the mischief, as indeed will the lovely Ms Hooper and the dashing Mr Robins. Naturally they’ll be joined by a host of faces from the Austral- ian (if not international) comedy elite, sprinkling their own brand of comedic gold over proceed- ings. Give us that highlight anyway. It’s stellar comedy at its best. You know it makes sense.
