Hey Hey It's Saturday return

Quote:
HOST Daryl Somers will be there, as will Red Symons, but music guru Molly Meldrum has been banned from returning to the reunion specials of Nine's former long-running hit show Hey Hey It's Saturday by Channel 7.
"At the moment I am not allowed to do it and I honour that," the veteran presenter said.

"I work for Channel 7 and I believe (Seven boss) David Leckie has said no."

John Blackman, Wilbur Wilde, Russell Gilbert and Livinia Nixon are in, while Molly and Jackie MacDonald are out, and there is a question mark over Ernie Carroll.

That is the status on the Hey Hey It's Saturday specials, hosted by Daryl Somers, which will screen on Channel 9 in late September and early October.

Nine has confirmed that Symons, Blackman, Wilde, Gilbert and Nixon are definite starters for the reunion specials.

Plucka Duck will appear and Somers hopes that Carroll, famous for creating Ossie Ostrich, will be involved.

Nine hasn't give up hope that it can convince rival Seven boss David Leckie to allow Meldrum to appear.

The Hey Hey specials are set to feature many of fans' favourite segments - Red Faces, Celebrity Head, Wot Cheezes Me Orf, Media Watch Press and Phunny Fotos. Each special will be live and run for two hours.

"No one is a definite 'no' at this stage," a Nine spokesman said.

Less than 400 tickets will be available for the two specials.

Somers has decided to bypass normal ticket agencies and the internet to determine who gets the coveted seats.

Instead, fans will have to try their luck by sending a letter to Channel 9.

"Daryl is really keen that the people in the audience are die-hard fans," the Nine spokesman said. "It's first in, best dressed, so if you're a die-hard fan you'll be writing in straight away."

One person who will definitely be in the audience is 23-year-old Corrine Lawrence who started the Bring Back Hey Hey Facebook fansite which has about 200,000 fans.

Somers contacted Lawrence to invite her.

Nine has launched an official Hey Hey website which contains ticket details and asks fans for entries for the Wot Cheezes Me Orf, Media Watch Press and Phunny Fotos segments.
