From 1988 this one hour-a-week comedy program ruled the ratings, and became the most successful comedy program of the decade. In its day the series scooped every major award and produced a flood of spin-off books, records, merchandising and, naturally, imitators. The heart of the program was the line-up of regular characters including Kylie the schoolgirl, Con the Fruiterer, Uncle Arthur and Colin Carpenter who appeared each week in their own segments, amongst topical sketches and TV parodies. - thecomedychannel.com.au
