Originally broadcast Saturday July 10, 1999
Even on the very first show, Mick created controversy with his screening of a portion of this pilot episode. The show settled in introducing the format and many of the segments including “Checking out the Neighbours“, “Bob’s Scrapbook“, “How Delightful“, Entertainment News with Leigh Paatsch and Sport with Pendo.
Tony brings many gifts for Mick for his first show including Mini Mick, one vertically-challenged replica of Mick, in the vein of Austin Powers’ Mini Me. Running Time (less commercial breaks) was approximately 1 hour 50 minutes.
“Larry… Emdur..!”
