REVIEW: The
Chaser April 15, 2004
Let's face it, we all want to see infomercials get a good pasting.
We'd tolerate pretty much any quality of show as long as it sunk the
boot Directly up Danoz. Enter Gavin Baskerville -coincidentally at
11.00pm, a time that means infomercials are competing with him for
audience members.
As it turns out, the quality of this show is pretty reasonable. Not
that many people would know, as the good Melbourne folk seem to turn
into pumpkins somewhere between Dan Kitson's 9:45 show and the 11:00
slot.
BUT WAIT, there's more! That's right. Not only does Baskerville hoe
into infomercials but he leaves some bile for banks, casinos and
real estate agents as well, all in the characteristic laconic and
likeable Baskerville manner. So how much would you expect to pay for
this show? $300? $200? $50? I have no idea - we get comps. But
whatever it is, it's worth it. Chas Licciardello |
