Hey Hey It's Saturday

For nearly thirty years this variety show was a staple on the Australian Saturday television landscape. It became the must see attraction week after week, and its popularity has remained largely unrivaled. Despite an unsuccessful reboot, it still remains iconic and led to some classic comedy phrases that still exist today. Join Dave and Wee as they determine just how important this TV show was in their lives.

TV Your Dad loved

This episode Dave and Wee discuss TV from the times when your Dad controlled the dial. A time before remote controls, and the channel got changed by you when your Dad bellowed at you. As such, you watched the shows he wanted to see. And they were unreal. Buckle up and listen in as the boys talk classic action TV shows...

BMX Bikes

All kids of the 70s and 80s rode a bike. That was just the way it was. And most of those kids had a BMX. If they didn't, then they wish they did. In this landmark episode (for us, at least) we cover this listener- inspired topic as we wheel ourselves back into our chilhood and Wee delivers more tales of harassment of his younger brother...

Adventure TV

Back in our childhood, when the number of TV channels was limited and our Dads controlled what was viewed, we had intrepid explorers who covered the outback and beyond in a quest for adventure. These modern day explorers with their low-budget film options made for gripping viewing in dangerous and desolate locations all in the name of entertainment. Join Dave and Wee as they list the royalty of early days (of TV, at least) exploration.
