Wonderful to discover this on YT. Thank you PDU. Am currently enjoying reading “Between the Devil and the deep”. Great stuff. Cheers from Dubrovnik Croatia.

Thank you Pieter. Was too young to watch Adapt or Dye in '82. Was then in Sub A. Really enjoyed your show. I wish you would do a similar one today. Politicians are such good material. P.S. what was the meaning of the Paraguay jokes? I thought Eschel Rhoodie ran off to Ecuador.

I think the Paraguay reference was that particular South American dictatorship was one of the few countries to maintain political recognition of the SA government of the time.

I remember Pieter-Dirk Uys as a child of the 80s in South Africa. At the time I didn't realise that his characters provided an important critique of apartheid. It must have been hard to walk the line of satire and censorship (and possible prison)

Most Brilliant South African performer. True to his one word philosophy, Creative. By 1982, South Africa was trying very hard restructure, to accommodate all people, but found it hard to have equal, but separate development. It feared that the country would slide into what is happening now, looking at the examples of other Black Governments. Peter Dirk Uys with his many performances paved the way for whites to accept change. Now many people can only wish that they had more time, to usher in gradual change, such that you didn't have a sudden opening of borders and have 8 million foreigners from Africa, draining this economy, and involved in organised crime, the likes that Apartheid South Africa has never known.

I would be very grateful if somebody could tell me what Mr Uys says here 4:29 (Here in SA we...?). I am writing my MA thesis on South African English and I need this info for that. I'm from Poland and I have some problems with understanding. Thank you!

Myakills Tannie Evita says; 'Here in South Africa we still sing 'Die Stem'...'. This is the name of the National Anthem of South Africa during apartheid and still forms part of our current anthem and is sang in Afrikaans and English, along with Nkosi Sikelel' iAfrika.

I remember watching Blits Patrolie all those years ago. The two main characters plus two others, were in an unmarked car staking out a baddie across the road, when this gorgeous bird walked along the pavement towards them. One of the guys in the back said, "Cor, lovely pair of BEEP! (Referring to her Pectoral region). The other guy in the back said, "Hang on that's Jack's wife". A third peson said ,"Yeah, he's a right wanker". The poor old tannies in the censorship dept. of the SABC, hadn't mastered the finer points of the English language yet.

I remember watching this as a child in 1982. Ironically working for the National Party from 1992 till it's demise in, no matter how we named or changed it's logo to the NNP. I recognise most, of the "old" timers in the day. The only character I cannot place, although what I thought was Piet Koornhof, (because of the ears etc. but with the non afrikaans accent he sure had, and the fast speech and repetition of words, definitely reminded me of one of our old a politicians. If possible please refresh my memory. many thanks

I believe that it's a caricature of the late Conservative Party MP Clive Derby-Lewis. The glasses, mustache, ears, nose and pattern of speaking are all reminiscent of him.

PDU as one of his female characters did a stage song that I'd love to find. Think the chorus was 'No way' (maybe the name of the song). Had it on Beta cassette back then.

That was from the film 'Skating on thin Uys' and the song 'No Way' was performed by Tannie Evita's daughter, Billy-Jean and her band; BJ and the koeksisters.

Thank you for the quick reply. Wow! Every now and then the song jumps into my head and I have to smile. I'm not sure why it got stuck in there. After decades, I still remember it. My mom loved PDU I think even before Evita. Then I did, just because things were so wrong and someone dared to make fun of it.
