Tom Jones Rewind special

Maynard features the mighty Tom Jones in an hour with Tom goodness and Tom voice, and featuring the Tom moves that makes him the legend he is today.

This show has everything: dancing, prancing and panting in the time honoured fashion of everything Tom. Enjoy! (We did.)

Enjoy a power packed hour with Tom Jones and friends.

You’ll see some of Tom’s biggest and most exciting songs as well as friends and collaborators over the years: The Cardigans, Barry Crocker, Talking Heads, even an interview by a slightly confused Molly Meldrum.

Bunga Bunga 71 reaches across the aisle to goose your jaded pooka.

Tim Ferguson calls the upcoming Federal election. It was when Labor was ahead by 10 points. But he’s probably right, yet again. Maynard risks COVID by going out and working Electric Dreams on the 30th.

In a show described by media pundits as “you get what you get and you don’t get upset” Tim and Maynard talk a big game and leave you with a free kick that you never knew you needed.

Your Crankmail asks about Telly Savalas, Ricardo Montalban, and just what was that nice lady on Romper Room doing with that mirror? Do you really think Bunga Bunga 71 has the answers…

“Time for big ideas Australia. Let’s build a Sydney Harbour Bridge to Adelaide. Sure, we’ll regret it later, but now is the time!”

Tim’s new modern not-at-all-like-Davros electric wheelchair gets a test drive while we visit 1994 and ruin another Historical Hypothetical with the help of the Premier of NSW.

“Buckle in for a policy free, vision absent six weeks election campaign where occasionally The Greens will stand up and say ‘Clive Palmer shouted at us’.”
