Spicks and Speck-tacular - The Finale Tour
2011 is the year that will see the end of a television institution, a music quiz show that attracts an average weekly audience of 1.35 million viewers.
Hosted by Adam Hills and starring Myf Warhurst and Alan Brough, Spicks and Specks bought the whole family back around the TV – to play and laugh along with a show that never looked down on its audience.
After seven years, 277 episodes and more than 150 guests, the cast decided they wanted the show to go out on a high and recorded a special finale episode that will go to air on 23 November 2011, bringing one of Australia’s iconic television institutions to an end.
Now in homage to Whispering Jack himself, they are heading out on the road to say good bye for the first time (and actually the last time).Spicks and Speck-tacular – The Finale is a brand new production, loosely based on a certain music trivia show, putting Adam, Alan and Myf back on stage together with surprises, laughs, memories, live music and appalling choreography.
Kicking off in Sydney’s own Rock Temple, the Hordern Pavillion, the ‘tacular’ (as we hope it will be colloquially known) will give fans a chance to say goodbye and for the cast to get to feel a little bit more like Bon Jovi (or at least Whitesnake).
The first ‘tacular’ was a ridiculously entertaining smash hit. The Finale is heading off to top the first tour with an homage to stadium rock that will almost certainly involve pyrotechnics and a trip to Europe (the band not the continent).
The Specktors – Kit Warhurst, Gus Agars, Steve Hesketh – are once again on board to provide the toons as the travelling show makes its way from Sydney to Newcastle, Brisbane, Gold Coast, Wollongong, Canberra, Adelaide, Perth, finishing up in the place where it all began, Melbourne.
“The last Spicks and Speck-tacular was a hoot,” said Adam Hills. “And this time we’ve pulled out all the stops to say farewell to our fans with a bang. It’s a great chance to say goodbye in person while pretending we’re rock stars. Of course, we’ll actually have real rock stars with us (The Specktors), so Alan, Myf and I will be desperately trying to keep up.”
Myf Warhurst looks forward to others being in the hot seat: “What I love about the live show is that it gives the audience that the opportunity to answer the questions. It takes the pressure of me having to lose to Alan, AGAIN. I think that’s brilliant.”
Alan Brough said: “Very few people get to be part of something as wonderful as Spicks and Specks and even fewer people get to celebrate its conclusion with a live show that’ll make U2′s recent tour look like West Perth Primary School’s 1982 Eisteddfod entry.”
You don’t need to be told that this will sell out in a heartbeat. See below for the tour dates in your local city.

A Smart Idea for Hungry Hotel Guests
Have you ever stayed at a hotel and wanted a drink but it was late, the bar is closed and you didn't want to pay the hefty room-service charges for a beer or wine?
Metro Hotel on Pitt has provided their guests with the answer - the Smart Bar.
The Smart Bar is effectively a cross between a mini bar fridge and a vending machine which is located in the hotel's lobby and offers a range of alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages.
The Smart Bar is accessed by an electronic key cut specifically for each guest.
According to the hotel's Senior Duty Manager, Daniel Pearce, "the Smart Bar has been a great hit with guests, especially now in the winter months when it is too cold and wet to go outside just to buy one or two drinks."
"This service is particularly popular with our corporate guests because all the charge they incur from buying drinks through the Smart Bar can be added directly to their room bill so they only have to pay one account at the end of their stay with us." explained Mr Pearce.
And contrary to popular belief, the price of the drinks is about the same as what a guest would pay if they purchased from a nearby hotel or bar.

Metro Hotel on Pitt Guest Reviews
The hotel is in a great location. They have spacious room, with the ability make food in as there was a microwave/plates/etc. There was even a seating and dining area in the room (no balcony though), they also provid cereal, milk, bread, butter, jam, fruit, juice, biscuits and a newspaper daily all complementary.
Diana - Young couple
The hotel room was spacious and in a prime location overlooking Hyde Park and the staff were friendly and helpful. The continental breakfast provided was adequate. The Sydney City free 555 green bus stopped practically on the doorstep. The Museum Station was across the street from hotel and the airport train stopped at this station. If travelling alone it would be difficult to handle a large suitcase up the stairs of the station. However during the week there is an escalator access from Liverpool Street. I would stay at this hotel again.

I would stay there again…. Metro Hotel on Pitt, Sydney
I was a little apprehensive about booking into the Metro after reading reviews on the web, but everyone said the location was good, while some user comments were good and some bad. We wanted to go to a show at the Capitol Theatre which is close to the Metro so thought we would give it a chance for a couple of nights. We found the rooms to be small but they were clean and comfortable and our fears were certainly overcome by the helpful staff. I would stay there again if ever in Sydney.
