The Christian O'Connell Breakfast Show podcast. All right, so we're in Mount Rushmore now. This is where each Thursday morning, we all get together and we debate a topic, and we've got to put four up on the Mount Rushmore. Today we're going with showbiz animals. These are the greatest animals that have been TV shows or movies. So if you want to put one name forward to go on our Mount Rushmore of 4. 9414-1043.

Patsy, you go first. What's it for you for a showbiz animal?

For me, definitely Skippy the Bush Kangaroo.

Oh, I love that show. I used to hurry home from school. Turn it on the telly. Sit down there with my wheat vicks and watch Skippy. The Adventures of Sunny and Skippy, the kangaroo, the special effects were so bad.

Basic one, though, very basic. It was a very, very different time. And for our younger viewers, and I'm including Jack Post on this, how would you describe what happened in a normal episode?

Oh, look, it was any manner of things.

They had a dolphin loose in the National Park once,

mind you, it's in the middle of the Aussie bush.

What's the matter, Skippy?

What's got you all excited?

There's a dolphin in the national park.

It was just ridiculous, but it was just, I don't know, it was so addictive.

It was a great show. But it was a very innocent time growing up, wasn't it?

I mean, we used to get in England, I used to love watching it.

Did you?

Oh my God, yeah.

Same as you, you would actually be.

And don't forget, because people now, they're used to, like,

kids TV shows are on demand. They're constantly available. Did you have the same in England?

Kids TV were on for about an hour and a half, and they went, now bugger off to bed. It's time

for adults. Exactly. You got an hour and a half. Yeah. I think There was like an hour of kids TV in the oven. It's a leg it home from school.

It was no undermined.
