Synopsis

The lead character, Aunty Jack, a unique comic creation — an obese, moustachioed, gravel-voiced transvestite, part trucker and part pantomime dame — who habitually solves any problem by knocking people unconscious or threatening to 'rip their bloody arms off'. Visually, she is unmistakable, dressed in a huge, tent-like blue velvet dress, football socks, workboots, and a golden boxing glove on her right hand. She rides everywhere on a Harley-Davidson motorcycle and referres to everyone as "me little lovelies" — when she is not uttering her familiar threat: "I'll rip yer bloody arms off!", a phrase which immediately passed into the vernacular.

The Aunty Jack Show takes a serious turn from which it hardly recovers. There are Italian lessons for the jet-setter and Gaelic lessons for the Irish Setter. Two genuine diggers fill us in on how ordinary great people really are.

E5 Anonymous

The first successful attempt by a television program to remain completely anonymous. Throughout the program, not one person is named. Who is Spider Farrelly? You may well ask! The Aunty Jack Show will not give you the answer.

Aunty Jack this week introduces you to her remarkable family — Australia's first Royal Family. There's a two minute, twelve part historical series in one act and Australia's other first family — the Ken Howard Family.

E7 Sex

Put the toddlers in the kitchen. Check the street for the Vice Squad, as The Aunty Jack Show goes erotic.
