      That was actually a fairly astute one. That Molly has been out of the limelight since his bad fall ten years ago. I doubt anyone under sixteen knows who he is.

        I was gonna write Molly a letter tomorrow in cursive writing because I know under 16s definitely don’t know how to do that.

        Was going to hit Molly with Ian ‘Turps’ Turpie hosting The Price is Right and dating Olivia Newton-John for 5 years from age 19 before splitting up, and Turps going on to do Club Buggery but I might have to explain Roy and HG, which could take a while.

          I’d just name the daddos. Or explain what the daddos are.

            Reminiscing 80s Australian TV shows is a great choice. Loads of people who were household names 40 years ago but are not really online.

                There are some episodes on YouTube. I do not think you’ll be able to get that one legally.

      That’s a good one. Ask her who Plucka Duck or Jofferboy are. Or the Gobbledock. Or Alf. Or Johnny 5. Ask her about the Goggomobil.

      I thought this character was called Molly for a second but no, it’s Kylie Mole. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Vnuf9-zgdyw

      spoiler

      There was plenty of Molly around at the nightclubs 20 years ago but it didn’t seem appropriate to say that to a 16 year old.

      Mine ultimately ended up being really generic though because I just dashed it off.
