Adam Hills in Gordon Street Tonight Adam Hills in Gordon Street Tonight

After a shaky start, Adam and the team had one of the most enjoyable live shows on television.

A Melbourne tradition, live Tonight Shows go on to become part of our every day lives and without doubt Adam and iGST will do the same. We all watched the first few shows wondering whether Spicks & Specks would affect a new Adam Hills project. It took a little while, a few nervous moments but now iGST rocks along from one highlight to the next.

My one complaint about ROVE was the show was very contrived and had few (if any) live spontaneous moments, something iGST has already produced. Red Faces, ABC style will show the human lizard walk for years to come..

As will a world-first.. Mass same-sex TV Wedding. Was it just me that felt very proud as British comedian Stephen Fry sent his congratulatory message of support.
