Shaun Micallef's Going For Broke

UpcomingDocumentary show

In Shaun Micallef's Going For Broke, the famous writer, actor and comedian taps back into his curious side and sets out to understand a national obsession he's never quite grasped.

Shaun has never understood gambling. He uses cold, hard logic when making decisions and always plays for certainty. But as viewers saw in On The Sauce, even a teetotaller can be swayed - Shaun spent one episode getting drunk to better understand Australia's relationship with alcohol.

Now, he turns a sober eye to our love affair with gambling. Travelling across the country, Shaun meets punters, experts, and those affected by the industry to uncover how Australia became the biggest gambling nation in the world. From pokies in suburban pubs to high-stakes sports betting, Going For Broke asks: are we making a risky bet on our future?

Can even Shaun's rational mind resist the lure of a "sure thing"?
