Does anyone remember Rod Hull? Looking for a little nostalgia, I found a clip on Youtube and I was surprised at just how camp this show really was. I don't remember it being like this. Take a look and tell me what you think...
Is it just my changed attitude as an adult or is the show kind of, er, camp?

Bugger. Scrub the last two links. Type 'grotbags' on Youtube and pick the first one, the pink windmill show.

Never watched it.

That pink windmill was so gay.As was Robot Redford. And Grotbags was a fag hag if ever I've seen one.

Excuse me, there's someone at the door, there's someone at the door...

Dear God but I hated that programme.  It totally reduced Emu from a serious real-world anarchic threat to a comedy bit player in his own show.  Gack.  Mmmm mmm-mmm-mmm mm mm mmmm,  mmmm mmm-mmm-mmm mm mm mmmm...

I sold Grotbags a doughnut once.
She was in full costume at some event i was working at during my school holidays.
She seemed very nice.
I seem to remember selling some to Bob Holness on the same day

Rod Hull simply WAS showbusiness: He made a whole career out of something that would be a 5-minute act in someone else's hand(s). He made a fortune and lost it all (though was apparantly fairly content toward the end in his wind-swept shack). It was ironically his skill that left him unrecognised: People simply saw Emu as 'the funny one' in the act.

...and now it's back:

Rod Hull was a genius he even died comically

Through passion, I gain strength.
Through strength I gain power.
Through power, I gain victory.
Through victory, my chains are broken.

I hated all those stage school kids.
Actually there was an even camper show than that called 'You should be so lucky' starring Bennet from Take Heart.

Trout

I used to know a woman who had the cruel - but accurate - nickname Grotbags.

Watched Starsky and Hutch recently. One of them actually invites the other over to his house for a candlelit dinner, and gazes at him lovingly for being such a great partner.
