Can of Worms (TV program)
Can of Worms is an Australian television talk show that was broadcast on Network Ten.
Producer Andrew Denton pitched the show as providing "an insight into what Australia really thinks about controversial topics" by removing "the barriers of political correctness." The first series' host, Ian "Dicko" Dickson, described the show as a "[sitting] between a talk-show and a game-show."
The show first aired on 4 July 2011 until 20 May 2013. Ian "Dicko" Dickson hosted the first series along with Meshel Laurie.
During the production of the first series, TV Tonight reported that some public figures had declined to appear on show. Host Dickson confirmed that the show's premise had led to difficulty booking participants on the early episodes.
Dickson left the show at the end of the first series. The second series, was hosted by Chrissie Swan and 'man on the street' Dan Ilic. It began airing on 20 August 2012, with two 'Best of Specials' airing in November as a two-part finale.
On 23 October 2012, Can of Worms was renewed for a third series that would be broadcast around the nation live. The Third Series (still hosted by Swan and Ilic) began airing on 11 February 2013 and was broadcast live. James Mathison, a former contenstnat, hosted the show whilst Swan was on maternity leave.
Season 1 was filmed at Global Television Studios at the Australian Technology Park in Eveleigh, Sydney. Season 2 moved produced to ABC Studios in Ultimo, Sydney. Season 3 moved production interstate to Melbourne, using studio facilities at the ABC in Elsternwick.[citation needed]
The titular "worms" are yes/no questions about morals, society, responsible parenting, religion, race and various other topics. In each episode, two "worms" are announced and discussed; although this was phased out during the latter half of season 2. By early season 3, there is only one major worm with audience participation and "live" Facebook/Zeebox Australia feeds.
