Yes, we kept a goof reel:
Ash Long: Physical Comedy (970319)
Ash Long's first and final day as a TV newsreader
VIDEO
PARODY. Every Friday on the Mansfield's Melbourne TV program, Ash Long and Bruce Mansfield would perform a TV parody. This one took a shot at the 'happy talk' newsreader format (made funnier because Bruce had been Channel 0-10's anchor for Eyewitness News). The faux voice was a deliberate gag.
This was broadcast on Optus Local Vision Channel 50 on Friday, September 9, 1997.
Ash Long's first and final day as a TV Floor Manager
VIDEO
PARODY. Ash Long appears as the obnoxious 'Bruce Daniher', the over-refreshed Floor Manager, on Mansfield's Melbourne TV program. We wanted to add a bit of colour to the footy tips segment with 12-year-old expert David Raineri, which we thought had gone a little flat. I think we achieved it.
Mansfield's Star Exercise Bike parody
VIDEO PARODY. Yes, we know it's crass and juvenile. Ugly and vulgar
too. In 1998, there were TV infomercials galore about exercise bikes, featuring US astronauts. On the nightly
Mansfield's Melbourne TV program, we decided to promote our own 'Mansfield's Star' exercise bicycle. (02:56)
Bruce Mansfield and Ash Long ad lib their way through 3 minutes of 'filler' on Channel 31 Melbourne.
Click here to view. Mansfield's Memories was a series of 13 x 30-minute programs aired on Optus LocalVision (Channel 50). Hosted by Bruce Mansfield. Created by Ash Long Media. Sponsored by Collectormania newspaper. 1997: Wednesday, July 28, 1997. Ep. 11. Visit to the Collingwood Toy Museum run by Jean Jacques Mansfield's Memories TV Program was recorded at Optus LocalVision studios, Buckhurst St, South Melbourne. Editing also took place at Optus.
