Back of the Y Masterpiece Television (2001)
Madness
Back of the Y is perhaps New Zealand's least understood TV Show. It lasted just seven episodes, and was loved by a small number of loyal watchers ( I was one) and hated by most of the population who didn't understand it. It was hosted by Danny Parker, who regually beat up his guests, and featured New Zealand's greatest Daredevil stuntman Randy Cambell. Although the show was rude and crude it was a funny parody of mainstream television and made no bones about its stupidity and poor production values. A good example of the parody within the show was 'Danny dares you', where Danny Parker got a poor student to eat his faeces and drink his urine, taking off Australian show 'Who dares wins'.Regular referance to masterbation and drug use ensured the show did not last long on national television but it will be long remebered by those who saw it.
