About

This best of compilation from McPhail & Gadsby's 1983 season offers up a mixed bag of songs, political sketches, and even an extended pantomime — plus parodies of TV commercials long forgotten, but once known to legions of Kiwi viewers. Among the highlights: "pronouncing things proper", from trade unionist Jim Knox (Jon Gadsby); This Is Your Life, featuring David McPhail’s infamous caricature of Prime Minister Rob Muldoon; Lynn Waldegrave’s colourful impersonation of music show host Karyn Hay; and, hidden after the closing credits, a take-off of Kiwi television's old late night sign off, Goodnight Kiwi.
