The Aunty Jack Show
 1
9 7 2 - 1 9 7 3 (Australia)
13 episodes
The Aunty Jack Show was a bizarre Australian sketch
comedy. After the first episode was aired, the ABC switchboard
received more than 1,000 calls of complaint, particularly about the
drag queen element.
Aunty Jack herself was a boxing glove wearing motorbike rider
with a moustache. Her catchphrase was "I'll rip yer bloody arms
off".
The program also introduced the 'little Aussie bleeder' Norman
Gunston and featured sketches, songs and segments such as Colonel
Henry Passionfruit's Choreographed Battle Drill (for dealing with
the seriously non-rhythmic enemy), Dried Elephant Arrangement for
Beginners (in which Aunty Jack demonstrates how to dehydrate and
arrange elephants and threatens to punch Colin, a fully grown bull
elephant, warning him 'I'll rip your bloody trunk off!') and the Rol
Fol Tit Singers.
In many ways, The Aunty Jack Show was a lot like Monty
Python's Flying Circus (except Australian, obviously).
The cast went on to make other shows including Wollongong the
Brave, Flash Nick from Jindavik, and The Off Show
(later to drop an 'f' and become simply The Of Show)
Goodbye me little lovelies!
