I loved the D-generation.  It was compulsory viewing.  I'll never forget Joan Kernot dressed up like Joan Jett singing "I Love Rock 'n  Roll".  An absolute classic.  I'm sure you can buy boxed sets of the DVD's at the ABC shop. 

Love'm as D Gen, love'm as The Late Show, love'm as Frontline, love'm as Working Dog, Love'm as The Panel. The entire group are my all time fave bunch of comedians.

I have the Late Show collection all on DVD Jaytee but havent bought the D Gen ones yet - i think there are 2 double dvds from memory.  I think Frontline has also been released ?

Joan cracked me up as Joan Jett - and didnt they get Gabriel Gate to do Accidently Kelly St ??

20. Compulsory Airplay -1927  hehe

34. Who? -Brian Mannix   OI !  Thats enuff of that !!!

Degenocide was brilliant, with the take off of Alwyn Kurts getting up George Mallaby for wearing the tacky brown suit, whilst Leonard Teale kept breaking into renditions of "The Man From Snowy River"    ;D ;D ;D

RIP all of them  :(

(Is Teale dead?)

Yes, he's been gone about ten years now  :o :(

Do you remember his 'spoken' version of Stairway To Heaven from The Money or the Gun ? :D

Yes

I never picked him as a man who could make me laugh ya know  ;D

Neither did I pick Alwyn Kurts that way - and I was right - in his case he needed a voice over - and the depiction of him swearing was enough to do it for me !  ;D ;D ;D

Welcome back, BMG, we have missed you. :)

Ummm ? I havent actually been anywhere ! I post here every single weekend - rain hail sleet or snow ! (Ok there aint any sleet or snow in Perth !!)



I would love to see D Gen do some more of the voice over gags - They did Bluey, Homicide, Rush - hmmm others ?  Would love to see them make a hash out of something like Prisoner or Sons and Daughters !!!
