Does anyone out there remember this show on Channel 7. It was 1967, and each SANFL club had a one hour show where their players would perform variety acts. I remembered the show in conversation with a former Central player who appeared on the show confirmed the name as "Here's Parry".

My memories of it were some really corny acts such as a Norwood selection committee meeting with Bunton, Kneebone and Wedding, and a ventriloquist act with Bob Philp throwing his voice to John Cahill, the dummy. Apparently Ric Vidovich was supposed to sing, but got stage fright.

My memories are very hazy and wondered if anyone else had some memories they'd like to share. I would really loved to hear them.

I remember the show as the producer/director was my uncle, Keith Walshe. The show (the equivalent of today's players concerts) went to all clubs and the umpires even put on a concert. I don't remember Here's Parry being the name for the shows.

For some reason the only act I can remember was Don Lindner, ever so seriously, playing a violin while everyone else fell about laughing.

I think Buster Fidess? used to appear each week.

I'm old enough to remember this, but I don't Sounds apalling

That's true, but it was still better than listening to players sing the club song after the match
