I miss Rod Hull too.

STOP LAUGHING AT ME! THAT POOR FUCKING EMU.

Had to sit through a shit game that ended up 1-1 on his own with a grainy fucking picture. Serves him right for having a flightless bird - if he'd had a raven it could have flown up and sorted it.

I liked the Rod and Emu act when it first came out.

Parkinson didn't

While it was attacking Parkinson, the other guest, Billy Connolly, said to Hull "If that bird comes near me I'll break it's neck along with your arm"

Never knew Billy Connolly ever appeared on Parkinson...

From Wikipedia:

It was during the 1970s that Hull and the uncontrollable Emu made their most famous appearances. The bird repeatedly attacked Michael Parkinson during a 1976 edition of his eponymous chat show, eventually causing the interviewer to fall off his chair. Fellow guest Billy Connolly threatened, "If that bird comes anywhere near me, I'll break its neck and your bloody arm!". Perhaps mindful of his professional future, Hull swiftly got his "pet" back on best behaviour.

No, Tony, I mean this most sincerely, but at times it felt like Michael Parkinson appeared on the Billy Connolly show. It's like he was on standby every Saturday in case Gregory Peck keeled over in the Ritz at lunch.
