Trivia

When Brisbane radio station B105 organised a "Hey Dad..!" reunion in September 2009, nearly all cast members refused to take part, once they found out Robert Hughes was to be involved. To ensure the reunion proceeded with the majority of the cast, Robert was dropped from the reunion, and the part of Martin in the scripted scenes was played by radio host Stav Davidson. See more »

Goofs

Despite the fact that non-reflective spectacles were specially made for Robert Hughes, studio lights are often visible in their reflection every time he looks upward in close-ups. See more »

Crazy Credits

Each episode ends with a voiceover by one of the cast members, saying "Hey Dad..! is recorded in front of a studio audience. This has been a Gary Reilly Production for the Seven Network". Julie McGregor's version ends with "This is Betty speaking", while, in his earlier seasons, Ben Oxenbould's version ends with a stammer "...for the Se-Se-Se-Seven Network". See more »

Worst TV Show Ever Produced
29 April 1999 | by (Melbourne, Australia) – See all my reviews



Hey Dad would have to be the worst TV show in the Universe. I am still trying to figure out why it ran for some long. Put it this way, I've laughed more in just one episode of Different Strokes than I have in the entire series of Hey Dad.
