COME ON DOWN!!!
Ok I admit... i enjoyed watching all the game shows from the 70s/80s and 90s. Sadly they have all been replaced with "make me a singing star" type shows or watching fat people loose weight. RIP Turps! Another aussie TV icon gone.

We asked him if the engine had actually been called “Seagull” and how that came about. “Actually it was just call “Gull”, because I named it that. Because we knew it was going to poo on everything”. |

Is that "Wazza" off Housos? Looks familiar to me but I can't say I've seen him in anything else or know who he was.
RIP. |
