    I’m only just discovering his work and it’s absolutely brilliant!! A very funny guy and one whom Sacha Barron Choen should thank, because Norman Gunston far pre dated Ali G. A pity younger audiences today are not aware of the concept he created. Brilliantly funny guy and a brilliantly funny character.

    Garry Mc, Norman Gunston. I saw an episode where the politician being interviewed was so pissed with you he called you a galah, the look on your face was priceless, one of the funniest comedic moments for me and I still remember it all these years later.

    As for Sir Les Patterson, Dame Edna . . . etc, Barry Humphries forgot the golden rule of comedy. Always get out when the audience is screaming out for more. We went to a Barry Humphries show in Perth years ago and the ushers were all pushing us forward to closer seats, which many weren't too keen on for fear of being made a target. Problem was that the theatre was less than half full. People were sick of it.

    Loved The Norman Gunston Show.Brilliant bloke Gary, had me in stitches just looking at him.I regularly watch the interview with Sally Struthers, she was great and could hardly speak for laughing. I cracked up when she looked concerned about his shaving cuts and asked dont you use an electric shaver and he said I do.That interview was one of his best and poor Sally was a great sport...Help.🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿👍😁

    Garry/Norman is a legend but neither he nor Parkinson fairly represented Rudolf Nureyev who was actually charming in both their interviews with him and their homophobic comments about him are cheap and disrespectful. Other than that - fantastic to see this!
