From Hey Hey It's Saturday with Daryl Somers
Hey Hey It's Saturday was the longest running variety show on Australian television. Over it's 28 year run, Red Faces was the most popular segment, featuring hundreds of the funniest and weirdest acts you could ever wish to see. These 4 DVDs capture the more absurd and hilarious offerings, proving the extraordinary creativeness of the average Australian.
What Daryl Said...
VOLUME 1
"I have nothing but admiration for those brave souls who ran the gauntlet of Red Faces. It took nerve to strut your stuff against an onscreen super, a sound effect or a machine gun adlib from John Blackman. And if you survived that, you'd be gonged by Red who'd tear strips off you and give you 2 out of 10!!!" - Daryl Somers
VOLUME 2
"Just as amazing as the acts themselves were the reactions from our judges, especially our international guests who, often jetlagged, couldn't believe their eyes. Mel Gibson, Harry Connick Jr, George Kennedy, Phyllis Diller, Kurt Russell, Lou Diamond Phillips, Peter Cook, Tom Jones, Victor Borge, Rita Rudner, Hale and Pace, Suzi Quatro, Will Smith and countless others were indelibly touched by Red Faces." - Daryl Somers
VOLUME 3
"Age was never a barrier. Our Youngest act, Sarah Jane Bailey was about six months old when she was manipulated by her father like a puppet on a string - I bet it's the reverse nowadays! Then there's the other end of the spectrum; Dorothy Hayter sang `You'll Never Know How Much I Love You' at the ripe old age of 96! She'll never know how much we loved her." - Daryl Somers
VOLUME 4
"There was no real audition process for the first few years of Red Faces, the acts just turned up and on they went. But in 1993 we put on a full time producer who combed the length and breadth of Australia in search of real talent.... and to our horror he actually found some! By choice I never saw the acts prior to the show. I wanted to be in simpatico with the audience and share the moment of discovery. It was more exciting that way." - Daryl Somers |
