    Hokes Bluff

    Clocked in a bit early for the ABC news tonight.
    Came up with this show.
    Is it fair dinkum or another ABC spoof.
    Googled Hokes Bluff and the only hit was Alabama US of A.
    Sucked me in a bit but all the interviews were with former residents.
    Seems sus.
    Any South Australians able to confirm this?

    It's fiction, but it's a bit of fun.

    There is an image of a micrometer calibrated in units of 'Bees Dicks' in the introduction. Might give you clue as to its level of seriousness

    Delete "Hokes". Insert "Hoax"
    Quite a clever show and worth the watch. More interesting than the news I reckon.

    I only caught the last few minutes before the news but it got me in.
    Yes I will tune in earlier next time

    Just thought it may have been based on fact.
