For the first time ever, the Fugitive teams – made up of ordinary Aussies – are initially split in half – a team of nine “robbers” and a team of nine “planners”. Their mission?

To join forces and steal up to $1 million from a Ballarat, Victoria, bank. But even if they manage to make away with the loot, they’ll then have to stay undetected from the eyes and ears of the expert Hunters for 20 days!

Shaun Micallef’s Eve of Destruction
Wednesday, 8 PM, ABC

Dressed like Arthur Dent from The Hitchhiker’s Guide To The Galaxy, join the Aussie funnyman each week as he chats with his famous acquaintances and puts probing questions to them like, “If your house was about to be destroyed, what two things would you save?” Shaun says, “It’s a chance for the guest to set the agenda.

They bring into the studio the most significant items in their life, the things they can’t imagine ever being without and I psychoanalyse them. I’m not a certified therapist, but I think I can help these people.” We’re in for a ride with fun guests and riveting insights into what really matters to them.
