Mike,

What's the link to that Tom Rivers thing?

I would love to send it to my teacher.

Pete

Well, if you don't want to send your teach this link, you can send him/her http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-3089137416163061650.

hey man.
thanks for the
nod. i knew someone
would enjoy the clip.
i've updated it
since with clips
from mike cooper
and steve gregory.
i got it from the
yellow board. ;)
rocknroll.
shaner.

Ah that brought back some memories. I was a CFTR faithful listener through the Tom Rivers and Jessie and Gene eras right up to when they went all-news, then I switched exclusively to the Fan590. I remember the RAF well and yes, the unfriendly giant too.

Here's an interesting fact that you may or may not know. The guy in that clip doing most of the voices for Tom Rivers is Erik Tomas, the host of Raceline Radio on the Fan590, he also did Leaf games on CH and Global in the 80's. A few months back he was chatting with one of the other fan personailities about his days with Tom. They even played clips from the unfriendly giant show.

does anyone know where to get copies of "The Unfriendly Giant" episodes?

I don't know, but I know Shane Alexander above worked with Tom Rivers. Shane, any idea?

phil,
i'm not sure if the show is up for grabs, but i do know erik thomas (info@raceline.ca) has a bunch of copies.

you might also want to ask this guy - http://www.shroomazoom.com/ufg/

hope you can find a couple.
they were all classics.
:)

Mike,

Tom Rivers was best. I remember listening to his shows on CHUM and CFTR.

Hi guys!

I was fortunate enough to obtain 3 of The Unfriendly Giant episodes from another source. If you'd like a copy, please email me.

Cheers!

Hey all, just wanted to say how nice it was to see us all doing the unfriendly giant again, man did that bring back some memories. Eric truely is an amazing talent , he did a ton of voices for us on the show ...like the Queen, Danny Gallivan and any other accent you could think of just to point out a few.
Take care all
Doug

Wow. Absolutely incredible. You just don't hear radio like that anymore. I've always heard about the "Unfriendly Giant" but never heard a show until now. What a hoot!

Those are some great videos. I was a huge fan of Cftr.I remember the unfriendly giant,Mike Cooper's stupid joke of the day,and I remember listening to Steve Gregory.I really miss those days of radio.There's no character anymore...or very little of it.

I remember taping some episodes of 'Unfriendly Giant' on my family's dual cassette recorder (man, those were huge)- but they got lost when I moved out...
(sound of window smashing and giraffe's fading screams)
Rusty: What's Jerom doin?
Unfriendly: About 65 last time I checked.
Tom helped my wit to no end.

Hi Guys,
Great to see Tom and Erik doing their thing on video. This is the first time I've seen them "live." Thanks for digging this up!

I've still got my Unfriendly Giant webpage up at my website and I've got links to my two Unfriendly Giant cartoons.
