Thankyou. Glad to see them getting some international recognition. Absolute geniuses.

For anyone not familiar, they have been the stalwarts of Australian political satire for decades.

I still have the VHS collection of their series, The Games. This was a pre-Sydney 2000 Olympics comedy satire.

Classics include the 100 metres sprint track, which was "about" 100 metres long and someone asking how many "smacks" their website received.
