The Adventures of Blinky Bill

That's pretty cool.

There's a Blinky Bill one I liked as well.

I think Dirk's looking at that.

I think he's the only

one he liked.

It's a bit cute, the old Blinky Bill one, and a reference I'd forgotten about.

Blinky Bill is...

Yeah.

They're displaced.

up.

They're displaced because of logging.

The theme song to Blinky Bill, if you've watched the intro to that TV show, it's like a big steamroller just coming through and destroying their homes and then they're all homeless

This is not your standard Simpsons Nutella.

This isn't Blinky Bill.

This isn't, I mean, what else came? This isn't like your, I don't know, your standard drinking glasses.

Oh, that classic Blinky Bill type.

Yeah.

Listening back to it, I had such an Australian accent.

very Australian back then.

And that's what every character in Blinky Bill would sound like as well.

Yeah.
