	Kennedy, Graham
		In 1956, just in time for the Melbourne Olympics, Australian television began on Network Nine, destined to be the nation's most successful popular network.
		The popularity of Graham Kennedy since 1957, a popularity almost coterminous with Australian television itself, was extremely important and influential for contemporary entertainment.
		Such self-parody also drew on what has been remarked as a feature of (white) Australian cultural history in the last two centuries, perhaps directly influenced by Aboriginal traditions of mocking mimicry: a laconic self-ironic humour, unsettling pomposity, pretension, and authority.

	Skippy
		Before the international sales success of Australian soap operas such as Neighbours and Home and Away in the late 1980s and the 1990s, Skippy was the most successful series ever made in Australia.
		Ever the internationalist, Robinson had, in the 1950s, in partnership with actor Chips Rafferty, produced a series of feature films in Australia which had combined familiar Hollywood narrative structures, drawn from such genres as the Western, with exotic locations, flora and fauna, based on different parts of the Pacific.
		The series was produced on film and in colour even though Australian television had not yet moved to a colour transmission system, and was sold to the Packer-owned Nine Network where it first aired in February 1968.

	Skippy the Bush Kangaroo - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Although at the time of first screening Australian television was still in fl and white (colour TV broadcasting did not begin until 1975), the show was shot in colour on 16 mm film to increase its international marketability, most notably in the United States and Canada, where it aired in syndication between 1969 and 1972.
		Skippy was a pet owned by the son of the Head Ranger of the real Waratah National Park, based in Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park in northern Sydney, and the stories revolved around the park, its creatures and dangers and their adventures in the Australian bush.
		Australian sketch comedy series Fast Forward also frequently parodied Skippy, with Michael Veitch playing Sonny, whose head alone was visible, alongside an obviously fake stuffed kangaroo, often with unpleasant intentions toward his younger human companion.

	Reviews: March 1997
		Ken James's brilliant contribution to the volume is similarly ambitious, seeking in G. Spencer Brown's mathematics a structural paradigm comparable to Delany's patterning of meaning in fiction ranging from Dhalgren to Tales of Nevèrÿon.
		James, who starts with Delany's subversion in Dhalgren of a moment from Joyce's Ulysses, misses Delany's echo of a central formal element in Finnegan's Wake (which, like Dhalgren and Nova, also forms an infinite textual loop when the incomplete final sentence winds round to join a first sentence begun at midpoint).
		If there is a star in Belford's biography, it is the Lyceum, the theatre that Stoker managed for nearly a quarter century (it was sold by Stoker's boss, English actor Henry Irving, in 1902, three years before his death).

	Skippy - The Memorable To Go DVD Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		Skippy was the pet Kangaroo of Sonny (Garry Pankhurst) and Mark Hammond (Ken James), sons of Chief Ranger Matt Hammond (Ed Devereaux), also involved was teenager Clancy Merrick (played by a young Liza Goddard) and pilot Jerry King (played by the ubiquitous Tony Bonner).
		Australian TV has been sorely under represented on DVD so far so it’s great to see this release, some canny company should look into getting the rights to The Rovers, Barrier Reef, Chopper Squad (the list is endless in fact) and bring them out too.
		Extras: Special features include a very amusing interview with a typically over the top Ken James, the mid sixties “Skippy’s Club” TV ad, a late sixties fl and white kids TV special called Skippy’s Playground hosted by Roberta Paterson which was filmed on the Skippy set.

		He is flamboyant, has a big ego and considers his job as elite, and he is the self-appointed problem solver for the group.
		For example, when Ken James first appears the action freezes and the caption reads ‘MARK the medical student’; for Gregory Ross the caption reads ‘BOB the accountant’; and so on.
		The order of appearance is random according to the storyline, as is the timing - sometimes a character did not make their first appearance until well after the first commercial break.
