I did see the death notice but wasn't sure if it was that Alan Riley. I often used to see him running when he was a ref.

Witchiepoo from H.R. Pufnstuf.
The opening credits where Witchiepoo's broom flew made me scared of all vapour trails ...
Fantastic show

Rightly so.
*The chemtrail conspiracy theory posits the erroneous[1] belief that long-lasting condensation trails are "chemtrails" consisting of chemical or biological agents left in the sky *
Who decided it was erroneous? I was spreading chem trails over the planet for over 20 years.
I'm not old enough to really remember but that bitch was poisoning us all. Or was it just a fart joke?

Popular television actor and comedian David McPhail has died aged 76.
“It’s with the deepest sadness that I share with you the news that our wonderful husband, father and grandfather David McPhail died in his sleep last night,” McPhail’s son Matt McPhail posted on social media on Friday morning.
“He leaves a great big hole in our lives but not in our hearts. A truly beautiful man.”

The Golden era of NZ comedy. Not like the dross of today. That photo also includes Peter Rowley, who is the only one left from that time.
I'm not disagreeing about McPhail etc but 'the dross of today' is because these days good talent gets to develop and show their wares in bigger markets and get forgotten about when talking 'local'.
Taika, Jermaine and Brett would be in the top comedians ever produced in NZ and if they were around in the 70s/80s would be plying their trade alongside McP/Gadsby/Clarke.
