If you manage a decades-long career on television without ever showing your face, there’s probably a very good reason for it.
Hey Hey It’s Saturday’s favourite disembodied head and live-in heckler Dickie Knee now serves as definitive proof of that credo, thanks to ol’ mate / voice artist John Blackman.

After delivering a few factoids about Daryl Somers’ long-time frenemy – like the fact Dickie lives in the boot of his car – Blackman did the unthinkable.
He ignored the horror of the show’s panellists, and flashed Dickie’s true face to the innocent audience. Skip to 2:30, friends:

“If you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you.”
