Do You Remember Hey Hey It's Saturday? 📺✨

This week on The Midlifers Podcast, we’re doing a full nostalgic deep dive into one of the most iconic Australian TV shows of all time - Hey Hey It’s Saturday.

From Plucka Duck and Red Faces to Daryl Summers, Dickie Knee, Ozzie Ostrich, and the unforgettable chaos of live TV, this episode is a love letter to Saturday nights when the whole family gathered around the television.

We reminisce about:

📺 Growing up with Hey Hey It’s Saturday in the 70s, 80s and 90s

🦆 The pure, fantastic mayhem that Plucka Duck brought each week,

🎤 Red Faces acts we still remember (Music Man, Psycho Chicken, Tripod and more)

😂 The unhinged humour, live TV risks and variety-show magic

🎶 Molly Meldrum, musical guests & Meatloaf stopping a song live on air

🧠 Looking back with adult eyes at what flew back then — and how we’ve grown as a society

We also chat candidly about parenting, kids growing up, the emotional shift of letting go (especially with boys), and why shows like this simply couldn’t exist in the same way today.

If you’re a midlifer who grew up in Australia and remembers the joy of Saturday night TV, family rituals, and shared pop culture moments, this episode will hit you right in the feels.
