Now we’ve completed the bulk of recording for our first block of four episodes, we have a moment to update you on our progress – and we’re stoked to announce three more of our guest stars for Night Terrace!

Cate Wolfe graduated from the Victoria College of the Arts in 2010, having won the Beleura Estate John Tallis award for Drama in her second year. As well as a slew of theatre appearances, Cate has appeared on Australian TV in Winners and Losersand Australia on Trial, but is best known as Mattie O’Brien in popular ABC1 series The Doctor Blake Mysteries starring Craig McLachlan.

Night Terrace isn’t Cate’s first brush with time travel – she features opposite Ethan Hawke, Sarah Snook and Noah Taylor in the new sci-fi thriller Predestination, based on the classic time travel short story “All You Zombies” by Robert Heinlein. Predestinationpremiered at the SXSW film festival in March, so watch out for Cate in cinemas later this year!

Comedian Cal Wilson is well-known to Australian audiences not only from her live stand-up but from appearances on everything from Dancing with the Stars and Thank God You’re Here to Spicks and Specks, Good News Week, SkitHouse, Last Man Standing, The Wedge and QI. More recently Cal appeared in hit ABC comedy It’s A Date, and will soon be seen in the upcoming short film anthology Locks of Love. Night Terrace episode one will reunite Cal with her opposing team captain from Channel 7’s SlideShow, Toby Truslove.

Francis Greenslade is a twenty year veteran of Australian television with roles in many series including The Damnation of Harvey McHugh, Full Frontal, SeaChange and Blue Heelers, and he currently stars in Winners and Losers as Denise Scott’s husband. Francis is also well-known as a long-time collaborator with Shaun Micallef, appearing inThe Micallef Program, Welcher & Welcher, Newstopia and Mad As Hell.

Francis might not be known for sci-fi action, but he has form: in 1990 he appeared in Ultraman: Towards the Future, the only series of this Japanese series to be filmed in Australia. Ultraman is a Tonkusatsu show, chronicling the adventures of a masked hero fighting rubber-suited monsters – the Towards the Future version featured Gia Carides as the female lead! You can watch Francis’ episode, “Tourists From the Stars”, in full below; you’ll spot him trying to drunkenly chat up an alien about five minutes in.

We’re pleased to announce another addition to the Night Terrace guest cast: Alan Brough!

Alan has worked in film, television and theatre as a writer, director, actor and stand-up comedian. But he’s probably best known for his seven year stint as a team captain on ABC1’s Spicks and Specks. His final episode, which aired on November 23, 2011, was watched by an audience of one-and-a-half million people, an audience figure the ABC is unlikely to ever see again.

He has appeared in feature films including The Craic, Siam Sunset, The Nugget, Bad Eggs and Any Questions for Ben?. His television roles include Something In The Air, MDA, Blue Heelers and he famously got to pash Sharon Strzelecki in Kath and Kim, appearing in series 2 and 3.

On the stage, Alan has appeared in The Production Company’s Sugar Baby, 42nd Street and Sweet Charity and he toured the country in 2013 as the villain Baron Bomburst in the musical Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.

He’ll be joining us to play a failed theme-park operator with a talent for robot design, which still won’t be the strangest role he has had. In his home of New Zealand he appeared in a series of butter commercials as a drag queen called Marge, becoming for a while, in his own words, “New Zealand’s most famous transvestite”.

And here’s Tim Minchin’s celebrating Alan in song:

We’re excited to bring you another guest cast announcement: it’s Adam Richard!

A standup comedian since 1997, Adam has performed all over Australia, Britain and the USA. He began his gossip queen career as Triple J’s “Mister Bitch” before becoming part of Melbourne’s Number 1 FM breakfast team, the Matt and Jo Show on 101.9 The Fox.

He was co-writer and co-star of the ABC1 comedy series Outland, about a group of gay science fiction fans, and has been a regular guest on TV shows including Can of Worms, Chelsea Lately, Rove and Spicks and Specks. His impression of an Australian Idol audition remains the most viewed Spicks and Specks clip on YouTube!

In 2014 he became a team captain on the relaunched Spicks and Specks. This was a much surer bet than some of his more questionable television choices, which included appearances on Celebrity Dog School, Hole in the Wall, The Footy Show and Celebrity Splash.

For Night Terrace he’ll be heading back to the 1970s and a disco which may also be ground zero for an alien invasion…

As an extra treat, here’s Adam appearing with none other than Jane Badler on Spicks and Specks in 2011! Another person from this clip will also be joining us in Night Terrace…we’ll be announcing who tomorrow.

We’re thrilled to announce another member of the guest cast – not just one of our favourite actors but one of our favourite people, Toby Truslove!

Toby is well known to viewers of ABC comedy, with leads in Outland, Laid and The Strange Calls. He starred in the feature film Scumbus, and his TV drama credits include All Saints, McLeod’s Daughters, The Strip and Tangle. He has extensive experience on the stage including Belvoir St’s production of Private Lives, Melbourne Theatre Company’s The Cherry Orchard and Bell Shakespeare’s Troilus & Cressida. He’s also been a regular on celebrity game shows including Thank God You’re Here, Randling, Slideshow and the TV adaptation of popular radio show The Unbelievable Truth. He was even a guest on an episode of Splendid Chaps!

He’ll be playing an alien in an episode of Night Terrace, a role he was born to play. In real life Toby’s a big fan of science fiction, but Night Terrace isn’t his first role involving a spaceship…
