ABC Studio 320 in Broadcast House, Lonsdale Street, Melbourne, was the venue for an afternoon of goofin’ off featuring the house band for the show Bachelors From Prague. It was their last public appearance before leaving for Italy.

DAAS had just been on The Big Gig and upset ABC viewers even more than usual. Chris Lynham was wonderfully surreal and gave some of the best non sequitur answers ever.

All of these performers are still around, all every bit as entertaining as in this show. Seek them out, it’s worth the journey.

The DAAS Trilogy – 3 Paul McDermott

Professional troublemaker and arty type, Paul McDermott has had a deserved career hosting and performing on Australian TV since the DAAS breakup. He has his finger in so many creative pies his wrist is often very sore. Listen to his very different take of the history and legacy of The Doug Anthony All Stars & DAAS Kapital. It has been my pleasure to revisit the work of these 3 guys. Even if they all lied to me.

Richard Fidler, the “nice guy”, the “quiet one” or “the guy with the guitar” in the Doug Anthony All Stars. Faultlessly polite, his memories of DAAS Kapital differ somewhat from Tim & Paul’s. I spoke to Richard Fidler earlier this year about his radio show.

Perhaps the most annoyingly confident member of the Doug Anthony All Stars, Tim Ferguson is excited about the release of DAAS Kapital on DVD. His big mouth also has a lot to say about Richard Fidler & Paul McDermott in this part 1 of The Doug Anthony All Stars trilogy. I also spoke to Tim last year about his theory of comedy.

Bunga Bunga 39 has Tim Ferguson with the Doug Anthony All Stars in the UK. He’s working at the Edinburgh Festival followed by a season in London.

Maynard and Tim tackle politics, sex, the moon landing hoax and rocks in your muesli (muesli-leaks).

We answer your Crankmail about aeroplanes, autographs and the very meaning of Bunga Bunga itself. We have answers this multiple times, may we recommend having a slow binge listen to Planet Maynard, starting at Bunga Bunga 1

In Bunga Bunga 39, Tim changes radio history, while Maynard plays with his doll (but it’s a good one).

The pantomime horse of Australian podcasting Bunga Bunga 36 is back in your ears with a burst of wisdom, advice and poor life choices that you can take to the bunk. That isn’t a typo.

Tim Ferguson is earning dancer dollars with a butter dish while Maynard is earning a high distinction in misdirection by declaring Jedward the winner of this year’s Eurovision.

The Doug Anthony All Stars had to cancel their Perth show, but Tim is adamant it’s not his fault, but a nationwide appeal and witch hunt has begun none the less.

Bunga Bunga 36 investigates Bros, Star Wars and Tchaikovsky and finds them all guilty. Yet Tim Ferguson is a free man after telling a 1600 year old joke, there truely is no justice in this world.

Bunga Bunga 34 – Tim Ferguson & Maynard

Bunga Bunga 34 dives straight into the naughty end of the pool, with Tim Ferguson declaring himself a feminist centrist. Maynard doesn’t know what this means so foolishly asks for his opinion on offensive comedy and stop/walk sign sexual ambiguity.

Tension is in the Bunga Bunga air as Tim Ferguson gets snippy about free speech and your mouth. Planet Maynard is up for an award and Tim has written the perfect speech, win or lose.

The listeners problems are solved, you find out what’s in Maynard’s Bug Out Bag and we all spot Hilary Clinton in a beer truck.

We even have the brief return of the unemployed screen writer of Glebe, while Tim reads a statement on his feelings towards Northcote (again).

Planet Maynard, it’s not where you live.

Tim Ferguson is off to the Edinburgh Festival with the Doug Anthony All Stars, Maynard has just returned from an Australian wide tour with lots of 80s stars. So they have a lot to talk about.

They answer your Crankmail and mention Vengaboys and Limahl.

This show Tim has some handy hints on how to start a fight while flying and how to deal with with those pesky English hecklers.

In your full spread edition of Bunga Bunga 28, Maynard visits the Doug Anthony All Stars at their Sydney show. It seems the highly bicurious audience has some Crankmail questions for Tim Ferguson.

Tim gives away the secret to immortality, but still has time for some strong words of advice for the ABC.

But we can safely end the war on terror as we openly accuse a watermelon of kidnapping.
