- flicktease was borne out of a volleyball team who disbanded in 1999 due to a lack of ability and physical prowess.

flicktease has submitted numerous pitches to the commercial stations and
have received countless, crushing rejections. Continue to live in hope.

to air and are proficient at unearthing a different technical
hitch or deficiency during each filming session.
- The ludicrously convoluted weekly competition questions are the brainchild of script writer and co-producer GAVIN BOND.
- It is true that some members of flicktease were unbearably drunken at last year's WAFA ball. Will continue to do so in the pursuit of all things pleasurable.
