Good News Week (1996–2000) was a chaotic and hilarious mix of news, satire and comedy.
The show was compered by charismatic entertainer Paul McDermott, who was joined each week by team captains Julie McCrossin and Mikey Robins, plus celebrity guests from the world of television, comedy, art, literature, sport, film, journalism and politics.
Good News Week began life on the ABC where it built a strong fanbase before moving to Network Ten in 1999.
In this clip, comedian Wil Anderson takes part in a game called 'Bad Street Theatre'. Paul McDermott shows Anderson a card that describes a recent, and bizarre, news story that he must mime for his two teammates (Julie McCrossin and Tracey Wickham) to guess.
