  • 31 Questions Ep #11: The Eleventh Episode.

    That’s right!

    It’s fabulous Episode #11 of the TV game show that makes all the other TV game shows look like TV game shows… 31 Questions! Featuring a very special appearance from 31 Questions writer Gerard Kotlowy (although, he was a little flat).

    Ep #11 also features the gag round “Grammar Nazi” where contestants have to correct the grammar on poorly written signage. Are YOU a Grammar Nazi? Or were you just following orders…

    I reckon this episode is my favourite so far.

    As our final episode is fast approaching, as a special thank you to all our fans and supporters, we’re going to put EVERY FAN’S NAME ON TV!

    “But how will you know who the fans are, fools at 31 Questions?”

    Good question. Have ten points. Now, the best method of sourcing our fans’ names we can think of is just taking them from our FACEBOOK FAN PAGE. So head on over there and if you click “like” before 28 August 2012, you’ll get to see your name on TV in Ep #13, which airs on Channel 31 Melbourne & Geelong on 1 September!

    Now of course, the unfortunate bi-product of this venture, “stunt” if you will, is a rapid increase in Facebook fans. And well… we’re just going to have to accept that.

    In other news, for the first time ever you’ll be able to watch us in TWO STATES this evening!

    Regular viewers in Melbourne and Geelong can catch Ep #12 tonight at 10PM on Channel 31.

    Meanwhile, 3000km away in Western Australia, Perth fans can get their first taste of 31 Questions Ep #1 on West TV (Digital 44) at 11.30PM local time.

    If you’re in the great state of South Australia, 31 Questions starts on 44 Adelaide Tuesday 28 August with Ep #1 airing at 10.30PM local time. And listen out for me on some Adelaide radio stations next week plugging the show (follow 31 Questions on Twitter for reminders).

    Sydney & Brisbane, sit tight. I’ll get back to you as soon as I know the time slots and start dates.

    And we just got word this week that Triangle Television in Auckland has approved 31 Questions too! Of course, had New Zealand joined the Federation in 1901 with the rest of the colonies, this would be far less impressive and international. More info on dates and times soon.

    Kind regards,

    I’m working my butt off here!

  • 31 Questions Ep #07: Anti-drug special

    How on Earth could this television show make so many drug references and still get away with a PG rating?

    Think of the children!

  • 31 Questions Ep #06

    31 Questions episode #6 has been put out to pasture on YouTube, where it shall remain until the end of time or until the YouTube supercomputer collapses in on itself under the pressure of excessive cat videos.

    In other news, we’ve now been approved by WestTV Perth, TVS Sydney, 31 Digital Brisbane AND 44 Adelaide to be re-broadcast on their local stations!

    So if YouTube’s not your thing and you live in one of those metropolitan areas, stay tuned for your chance to watch 31 Questions from the comfort of your armchair, just like us fancy folks in Melbourne & Geelong.

    Kind regards,
    David M. Green

  • 31 Questions Ep #05

    Last Saturday I drove up to scenic Warranwood in Melbourne’s outer east to join my good friend Dean Watson in front of his humungous TV to watch episode #5 of 31 Questions.

    His TV is literally like 8 of my TVs. My TV is very small.

    I also met his goat.

    In the world of legitimate TV game shows, last week SBS announced that “Letters and Numbers” will not be returning. Instead it will be replaced by the British version of the show: “Countdown”.

    This is a shame. But at the same time, it did make our parody segment “Letters and Letters” considerably more topical. Complete blind luck, considering we taped the episode back in April. That question about The Wiggles didn’t date quite as well, however.

    And spoiler alert, congratulations to Naomi, this week’s glorious champion! You can read her first hand account of her time on 31 Questions on her blog. Fascinating stuff, which I had no idea of at the time we taped the show.

    I’m very pleased with how 31 Questions has been received so far. Thank you for all the kind tweets and Facebook page comments. The response has literally been nothing but positive.

    By the way, I don’t believe I’ve shared the link to our fabulous review from Australian Tumbleweeds: “Australia’s most opinionated blog about comedy”. I don’t know who that guy is, but he’s an exceptionally harsh critic. Basically, if it doesn’t have Shaun Micallef or Tony Martin in it, he hates it. So to have such a positive review is quite the honour.

    He actually reviewed our pilot episode, which in my opinion is probably the worst one. And to be honest, I reckon episode #5 is the second worst. But I can now say every episode from now on is a good one.

    In other news, I’m managing to white-ant my into other RMITV shows:

    Next stop, a little bit o’ good ole fashioned PR.

    Kind regards,
    David M. Green
    You know, if you remove the “e” and “l” from “Public relations”, you’re left with “Pubic rations”.

  • 31 Questions Ep #04 with TV’s Pete Smith!

    Best ep yet.

    But of course, I would say that wouldn’t I?

    Thanks for the Twitter love, folks!

    Kind regards,
    David M. Green
    Pete Smith = Pure class.
