What happens

The Shak (also known as The Shak at Home for its final two series) is an Australian children's television program that aired on the Nine Network from 2006 to 2010. Its four hosts, Curio (Drew Jarvis), Nitro (Beau Walker), Picasso (Kendal Nagorcka) and Eco (Jacqueline Duncan) answered viewer questions, queries, dares and challenges in an entertaining and educational manner. Each host's name relates to their personality and the type of stories they present. Viewers sent questions and suggestions to the presenters via the shows website. For its final two series, the show was revamped to include intersecting storylines, featuring its hosts living in a house together and including recurring guest actors. Willow (Libby Campbell) joined the cast for the ninth and final series. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
