TV taglines 2 CommentsOn the eve of Australia Day I want to pay tribute to my favourite Australian TV show. When I was very small the only program I was allowed to watch was Skippy The Bush Kangaroo. Skippy was furry pretty and I believed that animals understood me better than humans. (I used to dress my dog in blue shorts and a red Top Cat T-shirt). In the days before video recorders and DVD players, my mother had to bribe my older siblings with lollies if we returned home after Skippy had been aired that day. If I found out I’d missed seeing an episode of Skippy my tantrums were spectacular. I’ve recovered now that I can watch episodes on youtube, but I still want to be Clancy.
Skippy, Skippy, Skippy my friend ever true. Even the theme song is brilliant.

A sweet reminder of how simple & innocent life used to be. X
Tsk tsk tsk. “What? Clancy’s gone off the cliff Skip?”
