I also remember him from the old Pea Beu ads.

Hit 'em high
Hit 'em low
Hit 'em with the old Pea Beu

 

[The Wheel]

I wonder if he will be buried, cremated or if someone will just blow him up.

RIP

I remember him with Noelene Brown & Kev Golsby doing the Naked Vicar Show. As a kid I had it on cassette.

 

[ALinda]

He was also the voice of Louie the Fly in the Mortein ads.

Loved him in Kingswood Country, what a funny man. RIP....

I can just hear old grumblebum now...

Hello Ted, how was your day?
Bloody shambles of course, where's my paper Thelma?
In the lounge Ted.

Pickle me grandmother! Someone should blow Bozo up!

That was the (often overlooked) point of the show. You're supposed to laugh at people like Ted. Loved him in the naked vicar shows too!

Someone should blow death up! (Calm down ISIS)

RIP Ross.

I have the DVD too. Bought it to show to the kids that the world used to be a different place and a lot more harmless fun was allowed before everyone started suing everyone because someone needed a tissue about something.

when telling my kids about the show i described it as
'one of the most politically incorrect aussie tv shows i know of'
and no-one cared, we just had a good laugh
