Were you one of the 637,000 or so people who watched Hey Hey it’s Saturday this week? No? How about one of the 800,100 who watched it the week before?
If you were, then watch it while you can. It’s a primetime show that is taking up two hours worth of scheduling, and ranking 60th in the week’s rating list. A show can only haemorrhage viewers like that for so long.
Darryl Sommers’ voice will forever remind me of the green tiles in my childhood bathroom and the smell of eye-shadow.
Because the last time I watched “Hey Hey It’s Saturday” I was as a 10 or 12 year old girl, sitting on the edge of the bathtub, watching my mum getting ready to go out with the television playing in the background.
Actually come to think of it even when my parents weren’t going out on a Saturday night we’d still watch the show.

"A teacher at Geelong Grammar had criticised her for using words that were too long, which had left her confused and had made her doubt her ability to write essays.
