Mon 30 July 2007 - Vale, Bargearse
On Sunday afternoon a few weeks ago I was digging through the old video tapes and found the Bargearse compilation. (For non-gen-Xers and those outside Australia, Bargearse was a version of the 70s cop show “Bluey”, starring Leo “Lucky” Grills, dubbed-over in the early 90s by the D-Generation Late Show).
I thought I’d give the tape a spin. The kids got a laugh out of it — the bodily-sound-effects in particular, but also the many references to Bargearse’s diet and appetite, and that killer gag where Detective Sgt Glen Twenty gets stuck at a level crossing waiting for an endless train.
Alas, Lucky Grills passed away on the weekend.
Vale, Bargearse.
Update: Plenty of Bargearse on Youtube, including the train gag:
