Oh man, I watched them in reverse order, Wenky, then Piffy, then Todd...I *highly*recommend doing that way. Wenky was just cringeworthy, Piffy was awesome, but when Todd...omg...I don't want to spoil it for anyone...

I have a vague recollection of this show from my youth. If nothing else, this thread has served to remind me of how bad Australian TV ~~was in the 90s~~ still is(?).

good lord. if that name didn't get piffy beat up on a regular basis, i'm sure the outfit did. maybe the kid is a sadist & that's why he choose 'bell ringer' as his future profession. of course, i grew up watching the gong show, so what the hell do i know?

I love that "Piffy" is his stage name, but "Remi Broadway" is his real name.
