Further comments should be made on the article's talk page rather than here so that this page is preserved as an historic record. The result of the debate was DELETE

Nonexistent Aussie tv show with 0 Google hits and a dubious history. Also delete the Ben Heckathorn entry for an alleged star of the show. DS 15:16, 7 Oct 2004 (UTC)

  • Delete. My hunch, after a bit of Google searching, is that it's an in-joke (a mean-spirited one considering the material.) It's certainly not what it claims to be, a popular TV show. My suspicions are only increased by discovering that the other contributions of the user who created this and the Heckathorn article [1] are to Hellyer, Hellyer College and Forgetting game -- this last having possibly been invented at Hellyer College. (and BTW, Bennyh? Don't revert VfD tags.) -- Antaeus Feldspar 15:56, 7 Oct 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete. I've never heard of it and it doesn't get a mention on the SBS website, so I seriously doubt it's even been broadcast in the last few years. If it were as popular as it allegedly is/was, I'm sure that I would have heard of it at least once... ever. (Especially considering SBS do periodically rerun popular older series.) Perhaps a 10 year old alleged tv show doesn't belong. --Him! 16:02, 7 Oct 2004 (UTC)
