Now, Daryl and the gang of Hey Hey favourites are back together for the first time in years in one big television event packed with superstar guests and surprise star reveals.
Hey Hey It’s 50 Years showcases the best of the madness and mayhem that became essential family viewing across an incredible 30 years.
