Myles Barlow: “Killing Kyle Sandilands”
"It's a notion that's entered all of our minds at one point," says critic 'Myles Barlow' in this week's ABC2 satire.

“It’s a notion that’s entered all of our minds at one point,” says critic Myles Barlow -killing Kyle Sandilands.
And the concept comprises one of the three segments in tomorrow night’s episode of the ABC2 satire, Review with Myles Barlow.
Barlow (played by writer / performer Phil Lloyd) sets about practising ways to “kill” the outspoken TV and radio personality, making use of a knife, fire and even a gun. He commandeers ‘lookalike’ friend, actor Anthony Hayes (pictured, right) to help him rehearse the deed before eventually approaching Sandiland’s Austereo radio station.
Sandilands is glimpsed briefly… did he agree to it? Who knows. That’s the style of the show.
Barlow also critiques “Fear” and “Racism,” including a scene that looks to be straight out of the Cronulla riots.
It airs at 9:45pm Thursday on ABC2.
NB: Do not attempt this at home…

@ Stan
Thanks for the heads up. I’m off to buy the 1st series tomorrow.
This show is funny as f***.
Outrageous value you mean!
Funny funny show.
This is such a great show! More people should be watching it! The fact that season one DVDs are only $5.95 in all ABC Shops is outrageous.
The first episode back wasn’t great, but last week’s was very entertaining – I’m hoping that tomorrow’s Sandilandicide continues that fine form. Review is hands down the best comedy that Australia is producing at the moment.
And airing just after Anthony Hayes played a Kyle-clone shock jock on Rescue Ops!
Hello? Myles Barlow *is* bad taste satire.
Can’t wait for this episode. I’m actually surprised that they were allowed to get away with pulling off something like this. =O
Brilliant! This is the episode I’ve been waiting for! 😀
@Nathan: I assume that when you say that you have never heard anything so stupid in your life, that you are referring to Mr Sandilands during one of his many gaffes.
Poor taste maybe, but Sandilands is merely having some of what he dishes out returned to him. If you have seen the show (Review) you’d understand from it’s tone that this is completely non-threatening and really a non-issue.
Triple j interview on same day first Myles barlow series 2 episode aired stated “sandilands was approached and Lloyd was dissapointed he was not interested.
Sounds hilarious – will put this on to tape!
This is very poor taste… Never heard of anything so stupid in my life
