Out of the Blue
Out of the Blue is an enduring Australian television show that has been a feature of weekend free-to-air TV for over a decade. Fish monger Michael Angelakis and his mate, horticulturalist Michael Keelan travel Australia - and even to Italy, in search of great seaside experiences and fantastic food. They are particularly interested in meeting the people in the small fishing villages on the coastline who bring so much fun and interesting stories to life ... not to mention the great food!
On some occasions, the two Michaels (as they are affectionately know) are joined by celebrity chef, Adam Swanson and other guests.
