Talent scouts from Channel 9's Hey Hey it's Saturday are delighted by two Territory politicians who perform rib tickling skits at the Royal Darwin Hospital . The duo has been compared with the great slapstick team of Abbott and Costello as they cavort about RDH and the oncology unit which is under construction.
Their recent hilarious TV performance in which they re-enacted the birth of Frankenstein on a new operating theatre table at RDH had onlookers in stitches and callipers. Unfortunately, the pollie playing Frankenstein failed to come to life because there was a power blackout and the monster could not be zapped with 20,000 volts. A Channel 9 PR told Little Darwin this morning that the politicians are certain to win the Red Faces competition which is watched by 3 million viewers , including a host of cane toads. A win would make them more popular in Darwin media circles than crocodiles, aliens from outer space, g-string eating dogs and assorted leading boofheads.
