John Safran on SBS again.

I think this bloke is great! He says what he thinks and questions the practices of various religions while being a good Jewish boy.

Makes for good TV while everyone else is busy running around watching what they say for fear of insulting the feelings of some half-witted minority group.

Definitely worth watching :)



Program Details : Monday 7 November 2005
9pm - 9.30pm : Speaking in Tongues
Part 1
SBS
Comedy Premiere (Australia/English)

In this is 12-part series John Safran teams up with his maverick match in wit and weird wisdom, Father Bob Maguire. Father Bob and Safran continue their oddest of the odd couple television relationship in this current affairs-cum-chat show with a spiritual twist. This series is mould-breaking, demonically inspired television and will feature guests including cult-busters, scientists and a dog whisperer who has the ability to communicate with Father Bob's dog, Franklin. Different phenomena is explored in the series which features guests who have witnessed inexplicable events and lived to tell the tale, including one guest who experienced a golem-sighting in Prague.

I love John Safran. I saw him in the original Race Around the World all those years ago when he streaked through Jerusalem.

I've got to get John Safran Vs God on dvd, too. Interestingly, his dealings with the evangelical exorcist (can't remember his name) left a lasting impression. So much so that Safran helped him come out here to hold a session in Melbourne. I couldn't go because of the rugrat and the short notice. It was free, so it would have been good to see.

I bought that series on DVD but have only gotten around to watching a couple of episodes. Apparently there is more about that on the set as well as more on the fatwa on Rove McManus (kinda sorry that didn't go through :/ He reminds me of Reggie from the old Archie comics...)

Yes - there is altogether too much weird crap and useless knowledge floating around in my head :)
