Farewell back, Auntie Jack

Good to see that Auntie Jack is making a comeback after 30 years with a DVD out for Christmas, and a tour planned for the New Year.

As many Australians will recall, the Auntie Jack team appeared here before Monty Python, but drew on similar inspirations such as Spike Milligan, The Goons, and Peter Cooke & Dudley Moore, and gave us a very whimsical, Pythonesque kind of humour (but with more pathos) and a hit song that was number one for 22 weeks.

Who can forget Auntie Jack's "I'll rip yer bloody arms off", Norman Gunston, Slim Arthur, 'Wollongong the Brave' and Kev Kavanagh, Teenage Butcher?

See youse round like a rissole!
