I was just thinking that. Life in SA was actually pretty nuts during this time but we were oblivious.

I used to be on Kideo as a kid 🥲 I was a Zookie, and my director taught me how to read. Tried looking for some episodes and I can't find ANY :(

My uncle was friends with the guy from Pumpkin Patch who played Uncle Bill. I remember being about 8-10 and being very confused when Uncle Bill was at my cousin's house one random evening.

Wasn't there a bit of contreversy with Uncle Bill? I seem to recall him being fired or something for sleeping with one of the cast.

If there was, it never reached the family's gossip circle... at least not the talk I heard. And they can skinder, which makes me question if it really happened.

That laugh from Mr Chinwag was exceedingly sarcastic, in a way to say "really, that's the best you could come up with"

With regards to the title song: Good musicianship (just piano I think - but it sounds so good). Also nice vocals.

Taryn Sudding was a great presenter, no doubt, but we all missed Natasha Sutherland when she left.
