Some info on the production of the list. The theme song is penned by musician JJ Appleton.

Get your ears ready for Singer-Songwriter/Producer JJ APPLETON’s rock n roll theme for “The List”: a fun new show hosted by one of Australia’s most popular television personalities, Rove McManus, that takes viewers on a funny, informative and provocative countdown through everything that’s happening in the world of entertainment and pop culture with features by Perez Hilton and an INSTYLE feature with Julianne Hough from Dancing with the Stars, JJ’s music is in excellent company.

Along with ABC producers and Man Made Music, JJ was asked to bring a true rock authenticity to the theme’s sound. His clever lyrics drive the upbeat and super fun series promo in look and sound. JJ delivered the final music track wrapped with the perfect balance of a Manchester, UK attitude mixed with a true USA Rock feel! Decide for yourself who’s been naughty or nice - watch 12/23!

SMH has a nice article about Peter Helliar’s upcoming feature ‘I Love You Too’.

The comic Peter Helliar, Rove McManus’s comfortably proportioned sidekick, calls it “a nice Christmas present”. A film that he has been quietly writing for six years, I Love You Too, has been financed and will go into production next year.

The romantic comedy is about a commitment-phobic man and a “new-age dwarf” who want to win back the women they love. “They enter into a bit of an agreement to help each other out and, funnily enough, they learn from each other,” Helliar told SiT.

“I was pretty adamant when I started this that I didn’t want any friends working on it,” he said. “No disrespect to Rove or Hamish or Andy or any of the guys that I might ask - and there might even be small bits or cameos - but I just didn’t want to take away from people watching the film and thinking, ‘There’s Peter and his mate Rove.’ ”

Helliar has a solemn promise for prospective ticket-buyers: “I can certainly say it’s funnier than Candy and Little Fish. I’ll even go as far as saying it’s funnier than Jindabyne as well.”
