The B Team

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The B Team was a half-hour Australian comedy television show, which screened on Wednesday nights on Network Ten.

The show starred comedians Merrick and Rosso and included skits, pranks and some audience participation.

The show's first episode aired on Wednesday the 6th of October 2005, but was soon cancelled due to poor ratings.

This was also the name of a watford-based ska band who existed until 2006, their most memorable song being "Intro"

[edit] Characters

There were many characters that were portrayed in the show. They included:

• Dr Tipple, a plastic surgeon who performs very strange surgery such as implanting lasers into someone's eyes when he asks for laser eye surgery.
• Brett and Craig, two Aussies in short shorts that talk in very strong Australian accents and go out into Los Angeles and make the people on the street uncomfortable by saying things such as "I bet yous wanna get on this [boat] and have sex, don't you?"
• Tonia Beardface, Rosso dresses up as a woman and pretends to be doing a lifestyle show.
• Dimitri: An elctronics store salesman offering poor quality goods, played by Merrick. This part of the show was shot at Precision Installations in Blakehurst, New South Wales.
• DJ Panfa, a DJ who plays old 80s records and shouts profane things to women in the crowd.
