Classic hangover programming, Video Hits, has been cancelled by Channel Ten after 25 years on the air.
Ten has chosen to ‘bone’ the show because of major restructuring within the network, leaving co-hosts Faustina ‘Fuzzy’ Agolley and Dylan Lewis out of a job.

Dylan Lewis started his tv career on ABC’s super-alt Sunday morning music/other show Recovery in the Nineties. Then he was on Video Hits 10 years later having barely aged. Weird.
RIP Video Hits.
