 Call of the wild - TV & Radio - Entertainment - smh.com.au
Ask Greig Pickhaver who most inspired his and John Doyle's comic characters Rampaging Roy Slaven and H.G. Nelson 20 years ago and the answer is surprising.
Doyle and Pickhaver met in 1985 when they were both working as actors on an SBS children's series.
Pickhaver believes the enduring success of Roy and H.G. rests with their simplicity - the veteran caller (H.G.) earnestly describing the ball-by-ball play with the crusty old player (Roy) pompously providing personal insights.

Pickhaver: "By the end, it gave us enormous satisfaction that we'd actually kind of invented for ourselves a way of working on television which meant that you could make two hours of television so quickly."
Despite the release of the videos, Pickhaver is emphatic that there will be no attempts to cash in on Australia's new cultural icon, Fatso: "Look, I think the theory here is that if you satirise mascots you can't then go and make a mascot.

Although it might have been construed that I was connected to some sort of ‘sexual power base’ through my relationships with Jono Hawkes and Greig Pickhaver I actually felt I was really on the periphery, doing some photos, very badly, and selling tickets and doing shit like that.

 This Won't Hurt A Bit! - Synopsis - Moviefone
The checkered career of a man who has for years pulled off an imposture of being a dentist, despite his disastrous record with patients, is at the center of this offbeat comedy.
"Doctor" Gordon Fairweather (Greig Pickhaver) has skipped town just ahead of the British police, who would love to get their hands on him.
His story is told by his most loyal patient's daughter Vanessa (Jacqueline McKenzie), who worked as his nurse and wanted to marry him, and by his much-abused patient and potential father-in-law George Prestcott (Patrick Blackwell), who eventually had a mouth only a (real) dentist could love.

Corrupt pollies, an honest wally and the meddling media are the themes of this Aussie comedy which amuses in parts, but is never the satirical knockout we would like it to be.
I didn't believe any of it, so I didn't laugh with or even at Wally Norman, although some people at the premiere did, and the film may be more entertaining if you see it with no expectations.
