Ep 1
Aired:

Guests: Don Bridges
Synopsis: Watch this episode and you could win $50,000 if you buy an instant money ticket from a news-agent or wherever. I don't mean to suggest these two things are linked. I just thought you should be made aware of that facility.

Ep 2
Aired:
Guests:
Tim Rogers, Glenn Robbins, Kevin Harrington
Synopsis: With Episode 1 of the Micallef Programme having been hailed as "the right length" by programmers Episode 2 adopts a more conservative approach. Tim Rogers from You Am I chats about his new single, stand up comic Jean Steep does a tight five, and Shaun is abused by a bird. It's nothing you would ask for in a comedy programme and more.

Ep 3
Aired:
Guests:
Synopsis:
This weeks on the Micallef Program Shaun broadens his range as an entertainer and adds Shakespearian acting, ventriloquism, stunt driving, and feng shui to his already impressively strung bow. The Micallef Programme is Australia's only comedy show to have been mentioned in Parliament. In the kitchens we believe.

Ep 4
Aired:
Guests:
Synopsis:
This week on the Micallef Program Shaun admits to a national audience that he is an intellectual, fortunately he is speaking through the ABC network so his secret is relatively safe. Floods, fire, famine, and death are all dealt with fleetingly as is Shaun's dislike of flutes and British soap opera. Remember, Shaun Micallef is Australia's only comedian who comports himself on television with a measure of dignity. Miss him at your peril. (He won't be there, I assure you).

Ep 5
Aired:
Guests:
Scared Weird Little Guys
Synopsis: This week on The Micallef Programme is the much anticipated "Episode 5". This very special episode represents something of a depature for The Micallef Programme. During an interview with Miss Murray River, Shaun has a flashback to when he shared a house with the cast of "English Have A Go". Shaun also takes us on a claustrophobics picnic and premieres a new panel show which we guarantee will make all the other panel shows on at the moment look like the same thing only less recently.

Ep 7

Guests:
Rhonda Burchmore, Frankie Davidson, Simon Westaway, David Bradshaw, Tony Rickards, Alan Cassell, Natasha Ng, James Wright
Synopsis: This penultimate instalment of the Micallef Programme features invisible poodles, identical twins who have never met, and the much vaunted clapperboard from the first episode of Rising Damp. Rarely has a comedy show promised so little. In other moments of hi jinx we visit the morgue, plus Royalty gets some take-away for lunch, and Shaun conducts a probing hypothetical on drugs & privacy.

Ep 8
Aired:
Guests:
Bill Ten Eyek, Kim Gyngell, Robyn Butler
Synopsis: This final episode of the Micallef Programme contains all the traditional, clichéd elements we've all come to expect in the final episodes of comedy series: - a transvestive on ice skates, a man holding a goose, and a firing squad. In this Episode Shaun's eclectic comedy ranges across diverse topics, from cruelty towards children right through to cruelty towards the elderly. Fans of the series can also look forward to being let down and insulted by some coarse, lowbrow material towards the end of the programme. But there is a poignant farewell. Interestingly, the programme identification number is VPCO9882V008.
