New Years Eve With The Chaser? Well, Probably Better Than Going Out And Having Fun With Actual Friends, We Suppose.

Let’s just presume – for one unholy minute – that you’ve decided to see the New Year in by staying at home and watching the television.

Yes.

In which case, LUCKY YOU – ABC wunderkinds of mischief The Chaser are going to be programming Rage!

After a year in which their trouble-making antics got them in strife with the law, the Chaser boys say they’re planning to see in 2008 quietly.

On New Year’s Eve, the team of Andrew Hansen, Chas Licciardello, Julian Morrow, Craig Reucassel and Chris Taylor will take over ABC television’s Rage program, with a selection of their favourite songs.

They say nobody’s invited them to any parties, so they’re doing television instead.

Uh-huh. So no pre-record then.

What can we expect them to pop onto the video jukebox?

Their playlist will run from The Beatles to The Violent Femmes, Sonic Youth and Hilltop Hoods.

So no Bindi Irwin then? Disappointing.
