Doug Anthony Allstars to return to ABC for documentary series
The ABC is set to air a two-part factual series on The Doug Anthony Allstars, a comedy music trio comprised of Paul McDermott, Richard Fidler and Tim Ferguson.
Tick F***ing Tock will reveal the story of the three original comedians, why they broke up and dealing with Ferguson’s illness, multiple sclerosis. It also features Paul Livingston, who in 2014 replaced Fidler on guitar.
I loved this 2 part documentary about The DAAS. Please don’t stop there. Continue their story, as it seems a real pity that they WASTED 12 long years before knowing that Tim had MS. They mustn’t have kept in contact with one another due to foolish egos perhaps? (that only the young seem to know so well). Getting old is a blessing, as one becomes more mellow – but horrible because one is then too old.
I am now almost 80 years old and just loved them on The Big Gig. I didn’t know about their great success overseas. Wonderful voices and harmony. The comedy may have been a bit over the top for me – but laughed just the same. Loved them and I send them all my love and best wishes. I do want to see them again on TV. Can’t go to any of their shows as I am too old to travel. More on ABC please.
