Towards the end Hey Hey was getting less and less entertaining. In a way, I blame people like Lavinia Nixon and all the other plastic type people...people who were good to look at but had no talent at all. The show became synthetic or something. But it probably did this the closer it came to the age of political correctness and all the other complete fist up trash that has now finally engulfed Australian TV.

In it's day, this show was brilliant. Daryl Summers, Jacqui MacDonlad, Ozzie, Dicky, Red, Wilbur, Animal, Molly and John Blackman had fun making the show. As you may have read or know, it was a spontaneous program, completely unlike the scripted spontaneity you find on TV today.

I remember watching this as a 10yo, seemingly it went forever until Star Wars, or some other movie or show came on after it. I remember the old fat ladies dancing ballet on Red Faces, a guy who played the piano and the trombone at the same time, John Blackman's funny voices and comments...but most of all I remember fondly those simpler times of my youth when half the jokes eluded me, half I got and all I had to worry about was whether I could stay awake long enough to see the end of the show.
