Rod Hull Career

TV career

In 1956, Hull went to Australia. With TCN Channel 9 in Sydney, his first job in television was as a lighting technician. He soon began appearing on television, including Constable Clot in Channel 9's Kaper Kops with Reg Gorman and Desmond Tester, a regular segment in the children's afternoon program. Clot was very popular and soon earned his own segment, Clot in the Clouds, which featured Constable Clot daydreaming about being a world-famous brain surgeon, 'Blood Clot.'

Later, he co-hosted The Super Flying Fun Show, a children's breakfast TV show starring a wacky character named 'Caretaker Clot,' an extension of his Kaper Cops role.' In this series, Hull first used Emu as a puppet. According to various sources, this is how it came about: Rod Hull, a bird in the Hand, states, "In fact, Emu was a Channel Nine creation." According to other outlets, Jim Badger, a Channel Nine producer, had begged a reluctant Hull to use Emu. "I'm sure I found him in a cupboard, but I hadn't placed him in the first place," Hull wrote to Emu. "I concocted him, not anyone else." The bird then became a regular fixture of Hull's cabarets set in the United Kingdom and Australia.

After Emu tore up the office, Hull returned to the United Kingdom in 1971 and signed with International Artists (after Emu). Hull appeared on numerous children's and adult light entertainment shows shortly after.

His first appearance on television on Saturday Variety was on Saturday Variety, but it was his first appearance on the ITV show Variety in 1972 that earned him national recognition.

During Sir Michael Parkinson's last public appearance just 10 weeks before he died at the age of 88, his family was left in tears

www.dailymail.co.uk, August 18, 2023
In the audience at what seemed to be his last public appearance, just 10 weeks ago, the family of chat show legend Sir Michael Parkinson was shedding tears. On August 16, the 'king of the chat show,' who was fondly referred to as 'Parky' by colleagues and relatives, died inside his Berkshire home surrounded by Lady Mary and their children. Parky said he was 'out of puff' when he appeared at the Hay Festival in Wales to dig into the archives of his legendary TV show.

Michael Parkinson, 88, died at home after being sick

After his seminal interviews with Muhammad Ali, John Lennon, Billy Connolly, Orson Welles, and many of the country's top actors, Sir Michael, affectionately referred to as 'Parky,' became one of the country's most well-known celebrities. In 20 years of BBC interviews, there were also incredibly funny - and uncomfortable interviews, including being branded while speaking to Rod Hull and Emu, as well as a prickly Meg Ryan. Parky, who appeared on television from 1971 to 1982 and then again from 1998 to 2007, was the last seen in public in April. As he commemorated his friend Dickie Bird's 90th birthday bash, the cricket-mad Yorkshireman appeared frail. Sir Michael Parkinson died peacefully at home last night in the company of his relatives,' said a family's apprehension.' The family has requested that they be given privacy and time to grieve.'
