Speaker 3: It was just ridiculous, but it was just I don't know,

27
00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:19,400
Speaker 3: it was so addictive. It was a great show.

28
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:22,120
Speaker 4: It's a very innocent time growing up. I meant we

29
00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:24,000
Speaker 4: used to get in England. I used to love watching it,

30
00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:26,039

31
00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:26,720
Speaker 4: You would actually be.

32
00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:28,760
Speaker 2: I don't forget because people now they used to like

33
00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:31,720
Speaker 2: kids TV shows are on demand, that's constantly available.

34
00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:33,160
Speaker 4: Did you have the same? In England?

35
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:35,160
Speaker 2: Kids TV were on for about an hour and a

36
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:37,200
Speaker 2: half and they went, now bug off to bed, it's

37
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:41,800
Speaker 2: time for adults exactly an hour and a half. It

38
00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:44,360
Speaker 2: was like an hour of kids TV. Got to leg

39
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:45,440
Speaker 2: it home from school.

40
00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:49,000
Speaker 3: It was underminded, it wasn't it? And yeah it was

41
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:51,680
Speaker 3: great and the accents were different. They were so thick

42
00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:54,960
Speaker 3: Australian and it was just quintessential seventies Australia.

43
00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:58,240
Speaker 2: I also remember that about every second or third episode, right,

44
00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:00,600
Speaker 2: even though as an eight year old kid would go,

45
00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:02,760
Speaker 2: seems to be a lot of this recurring store and

46
00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:05,000
Speaker 2: it was always someone who was just stuck down the

47
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:09,080
Speaker 2: bottom of a web, right and a kangaroo would go

48
00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:12,560
Speaker 2: and raise the alarm by bouncing into town where someone

49
00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:14,960
Speaker 2: was like sat in some kind of Australian watering hole,

50
00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:19,200
Speaker 2: you know, three deep into schooners, and the kangaroo would

51
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:21,160
Speaker 2: start doing that thing to him, and you go, what's

52
00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:23,560
Speaker 2: that skit? He's stuck down the shaft again and then

53
00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:25,960
Speaker 2: going again. And even as a kid, I come on,

54
00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:27,919
Speaker 2: come on Australia.

55
00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:30,920
Speaker 3: But we had all the merchant home, like the plates

56
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:33,640

00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:38,959
Speaker 2: We've got to put it up online because it's I

60
00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:41,600
Speaker 2: can't believe it's still merchandized these day, especially our stuff.

61
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:44,800
Speaker 2: Don't put that in the dishwasher. Those MUDs my face

62
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:46,160

93
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:49,840
Speaker 2: got to be this guy in looks Hobo.

94
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:53,080
Speaker 1: To settle down.

95
00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:59,520
Speaker 4: To one of the greatest TV theme tunes ever, This

96
00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:03,240
Speaker 4: as she had lyrics.

97
00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:05,200

00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:09,960
Speaker 4: Hobo Star Traveling Life. They always played this at the end.

99
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:11,400
Speaker 2: The theme tumors at the end with a little This

100
00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:13,440
Speaker 2: Hobo about a dog that would help out a little

101
00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:15,880
Speaker 2: community or a person down their luck, or a little

102
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:18,479
Speaker 2: lonely kid, and then he'd wander off down a road

103
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:21,760
Speaker 2: by himself. And every episode it broke my heart. At

104
00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:23,359
Speaker 2: the end, I genuinely get really sad.

105
00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:25,080
Speaker 4: Thinking why doesn't he want to just stick around?

106
00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:26,599
Speaker 2: And why doesn't any want off the dog at home?

107
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:29,840
Speaker 2: He's just wandering around. When does he eat? You never

108
00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:32,080
Speaker 2: saw Hobo eating or having a little drink. Has to

109
00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:35,160
Speaker 2: get very concerned by anyway. It was also I believe

110
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:38,320
Speaker 2: one of the most insane TV shows ever about a

111
00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:40,440
Speaker 2: dog who can't talk. But these are some of that

112
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:42,120
Speaker 2: I've read these that before, but because I'm obsessed with

113
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:44,760
Speaker 2: the Little Hobo and however got to be a TV show.

114
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:47,600
Speaker 2: Little Sobo is about a dog, right, real life dog

115
00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:51,280
Speaker 2: that can't talk. However, these are some of the episode descriptions.

116
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:55,320
Speaker 2: This happened in the eighties. Hobo helps rescue a ballerina

117
00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:58,120
Speaker 2: who wants to defect from her Iron Curtain characters.

118
00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:00,960
Speaker 4: It's a dog that can't talk.

119
00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:04,320
Speaker 2: Hobo witnesses a hit and run accident and forces a

120
00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:09,560

123
00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:19,120
Speaker 4: Church they must have.

124
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:21,039
Speaker 2: I would if I could work on any TV show,

125
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:22,960
Speaker 2: I have a time machine, I'd go back and workers

00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:23,880
Speaker 2: on the scriptwriters.

127
00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:25,080
