EXCLUSIVE: Filming of Hey Hey We’re 50! took place on Wednesday night at NEP Studios in South Melbourne.
The nostalgic special looking back on Hey Hey it’s Saturday‘s three decades of Live television mayhem was filmed at the former Seven studios which were once home to Dancing with the Stars, The Chase, and even Man O Man. The building exterior is currently seen in ABC’s The Newsreader.
Sources hint host Daryl Somers was linking between classic clips, live crosses to several former cast and joined by others Live in the studio.
Not all the cast are understood to have reunited (Livinia Nixon, for instance, is contracted to Nine), but one big name Australian star sent a video message congratulating the show on its 50th anniversary.
Seven Network Director of Programming, Angus Ross, said: “For three decades, Hey Hey was one of the funniest, most entertaining and most unpredictable shows on TV. We’re honoured to be part of what promises to be a wonderful celebration.”
Seven is yet to confirm a broadcast date but Saturday October 9 is the show’s official 50th.

He doesn’t have to run around the studio. Or get a voice actor to do it. I wonder what 92 is in ostrich years?
Love this show it can make me laugh even when I’m really depressed I just hope it comes with subtitles so I can watch it
I thought you already said Nine have had confirmed the show is going to be on the 9th of October.
It’s Seven, and no I only ever said that was that date of the anniversary.
Ok well, I hope it isn’t on Saturday then

Please make a virtual appearance……….Jackie MacDonald.
I’m predicting the “big name Australian star” is Eric Bana.
It seems wrong not being on ch 9
I agree
What difference does it make what channel has it on.
It seems wrong being on.
Disagree. TV history is important, it entertained generations. Nobody is forced to watch it.
Absolutely and there’s hardly a Saturday goes by that I still don’t miss it. It was something you relied on every week I never thought it would end.
Bring back the Man O Man pool
It will be disappointing if Ozzie isn’t with Daryl presenting the clips.
I really hope this rates well and can be revived. Variety television needs a place on Aussie screens. And god knows Saturday night could do with some original programming.
Ozzie is 92 😁
