TippyTappy Sports smashes the Ashes for Optus Sport

Satrical sports journalists TippyTappy Sports, aka Damien Timms and Backseat Rebel's Nikos Andronicos, have been given carte blanche by Optus Sport to get stuck into the upcoming Ashes cricket series from more angles than Mitchell Starc with the new ball.

TippyTappy content for the series (produced by Backseat Rebel) includes STRAIGHT TALK (a rolling series of muckraking interviews with the current Australian squad) and GREAT MOMENTS IN ASHES HISTORY (an archival/interview documentary series that takes the piss out of said great moments as hard as humanly possible).

All the TTS output will be viewable on Optus Sport's Ashes Cricket platform throughout the Australian summer.

Growing Up Gracefully premieres tonight on ABC1!

Nikos recently jumped on board the Chaser-produced Growing Up Gracefully as co-director, and the comedic documentary TV series premieres nationally tonight on ABC1 and iView.

Written and presented by the brave and talented sister duo Hannah and Eliza Reilly, the show is a satirical investigation into the ridiculous advice women have been given over the past century on how they should "grow up...whatever the f-k that means".

Episode 1 sees Hannah teaching etiquette guru June Dally-Watkins how to scull a beer and Eliza being half-drowned in the Bondi breakers as she learns how to Insta-pose.

Very funny stuff. 

Vindalosers clears the boundary on Triple M

In association with sports satire collective TippyTappy Sports, Backseat Rebel has produced VINDALOSERS, a 30 minute documentary that explores why the Australian cricket team gets routinely trounced in India...and what they need to do to win. 

The doco, which premiers on SCA/Triple M's digital assets nationwide in February 2017, follows TippyTappy's Damien Timms and Nikos Andronicos as they journey around the subcontinent in search of Indian insights, intel and what could only be described as "immersion learning", playing cricket against every man, woman and child they can convince to roll the arm over. (Spoiler: it doesn't take much convincing).
