Telly Laughs - Greatest Hits
Television (Full Length Episode) – 1996
This 45-minute compilation of sketches from Wellington-based production house Gibson Group pokes fun at famous broadcasters and adverts for beer and driver safety. It also parodies James Bond and blockbuster movie The Fugitive. The quickfire series provided an early vehicle for comedians like Jemaine Clement, Cal Wilson, Dave Fane and Oscar Kightley. Highlights include an everyday postie (Clement) morphing into the Arnold Schwarzenegger inspired 'Postie-Man', and Clement and Brian Sergent's pitch-perfect take on Mick Jagger and Keith Richards heading out on yet another 'final' Rolling Stones tour.
Are you the one known as Hercules Son of Zeus?– A villager (Dave Fane) seeks help from the mighty Hercules (Robbie Magasiva)
