This book not only features the highlights of Mad as Hell – dubbed 'the best 30 minutes on Australian TV' by the Sydney Morning Herald – but also favourites from The Micallef P(r)ogram(me), Micallef Tonight, Full Frontal and Newstopiä. With trademark wicked wit, Micallef and his co-writer, Gary McCaffrie, usher us behind the scenes with hilarious footnotes to many of their most-loved sketches.

In 2004, the Spaced team of Simon Pegg and Edgar Wright stormed the worldwide box office with their acclaimed and hilarious "rom-zom-com" movie, Shaun of the Dead. Now, here comes the much-anticipated official comics "director's cut" adaptation of the movie, complete with deleted scenes, unshot scenes and bonus material! Shaun's a man lacking direction.
