Here is another one of my TV appearances. It was on the “Have A Go” show. I ended up coming second, being beaten by a sexy woman with large breasts in a short dress made of wetsuit material. That was the only good things about her act. The producer of the show thought I had been ripped off and invited my back to do another show.

This poem is about being a contestant on Perfect Match. I never went on the show, but coincidently, it was shown on another station at the same time this show went to air. I think they like the opportunity to give their rivals at channel ten a serve.

After being ripped off with my first appearance on the “Have A Go” show, I was invited back to a special “Shakespeare” edition. I managed to create a rough segue between Shakespeare and modern TV as an excuse to do this poem. I hadn’t been told to bring my own costume and so the rag-tag appearance comes from what we could muster up out of the wardrobe department at short notice.

Enjoy!

Having posted my roasting of Red Symons, I have had numerous requests (well one actually) to load up the act that came before. This is me (then called Anthony) reciting the poem “In praise of the TV  housewife” on the Christmas 1987 show of Hey Hey It’s Saturday.
