Page "Hey Hey It's Saturday" Paragraph 15

Hey Hey retained its loyal following well into the 1990s but Ernie Carroll decided to retire in 1994, taking Ossie Ostrich with him.

Other characters including " Plucka Duck " were brought in to partially fill the void left by Carroll's departure.

In the late 1980s a cartoonist, Andrew Fyfe, was added to the team, offering visual gags similar to Blackman and Tregonning's audio contributions.

In 1992 Fyfe started his own children's game show on Nine called GuessWhat ?.

On this show he drew picture puzzles in front of two teams of children.

A number of Somers-Carroll produced " Red Faces " and " Best of Hey Hey " specials screened and were rescreened with high ratings for their timeslots.

The show also had a lane named after it near its studios.
