Splash Trivia

The song Farewell Aunty Jack, from the album Aunty Jack Sings Wollongong, reached No. 1 in 1973 and stayed in the music charts for 22 weeks. The same year The Aunty Jack Show won a Logie, which, Bond fondly recalls, was presented to him and O'Donoghue by Gina Lollobrigida.

The Aunty Jack Show was a witty, politically incorrect and pioneering program that appalled and delighted viewers when it first appeared on ABC TV in 1972. Its treatment of Wollongong, where it was set, led to the city's residents wanting the show banned.

Fortunately this never occurred, and both the term "Rip yer bloody arms off" and Wollongong became part of the Australian entertainment folklore.
