Great show back in the day. Such fond memories.

[@Johnny_Thunder]

Early 80s ABC TV! great memories.

[@dalekwatcher]

Holy Shit! I loved this show when I was a kid! Still remember the theme tune, 😂😂😂

[@argustuft2394]

The intro sequene was longer than the individual episode.

[@ezekielamaterasu3462]

OMG ,I LOVED this show !

[@robertcrookall5991]

So what do you say when you discover how to stop and re-start time? You say really profound things like "Well that was all piece of cake", "Turn time to normal Dummo!", "Hey, beauty Fat!" and "Yeah, happens when you shake it!" Classic! 🙂

[@aaroncullenward8796]

Now if we can just get Hunter onto KZbin. When I saw Computer Cat at the museum I figured it mustn't be far off...

[@robertcrookall5991]

wow! Hunter always seeking wanting to know...

[@melattard2037]

I loved it

[@davedavis9766]

Oh god thats gold

[@zaniac100]

I loved this program-especially the theme tune! It was repeated by the ABC a few times I think. Thanks for upload!!

[@steedwilkinson6797]

This is great !

[@AdamCollings]

Very cool. I didn't realise that TV drama had ever been produced in Tassie, and sci-fi at that! There is something special about seeing a story told on the back-drop of familiar locations.

[@flashkraft]

Wow. Looking for this one for a while now.

[@Banjo_Oz]

The DVD purchase link doesn't work... are you kidding me?! I've got HUGE nostalgia for this show that I watched as a kid in Australia! For years, I thought I was the only one who even knew it existed! I always wanted to see it again, but of course it never showed up online and even the IMDb page was just me and maybe two other people trying to recall details! Imagine my thrill discovering this upload today... so cathartic to finally see an episode of the show again! And then I see it's SOLD on DVD?! I couldn't believe it! My last search told me it was only available to view at a screening a few years ago in Tasmania! So I rush to follow the link... and get an error page! This show evades me again! Nooo! :(

Hi +BanjoOz. We have now fixed the link. To get a copy, click on the 'order' link on that page and put in the details AB869/1/3345 Fatty and George, Ep. 1 The Crystal (pilot)

[@Banjo_Oz]

+LINC Tasmania Thanks so much! I now see the series listed on that order page. I want the whole series on DVD (which I assume is $43.80?), so is that the same item code I need to enter (i.e. you'll know I mean the whole series) or do I need numbers for each episode? How many DVDs is the series on? Also, how do I pay for my order? Should I use the contact link on your website to discuss this? Eager to finally get to see the whole series again after so very long! :)

[@LibrariesTasmania]

Yes, it's the whole series - 10 episodes on a 2 disc set. You just need the one order number. You can select your payment option on the form. If you're getting it posted to you the best option is to have us send you an invoice (to pay by BPay or direct debit).

[@Banjo_Oz]

+LINC Tasmania Thanks, sent my order for the series today! :)

[@NBLonUtube]

Ive been looking for this show for years now!. Can I still buy the DVD?. Also, does anyone know about the music, where it came from or can we get better quality versions of the tunes?.

[@novasmum474]

I loved watching that show. lol

[@azzapair]

Im sorry Pacman wins! Music wise. Luv this show. I"m a kid again.

[@stkhd1]
