The Hello Girls (1996–1998)
Oh! for the automatic telephone exchange
5 August 1999
We older persons who yearn for the good old days of the manual telephone exchange, when you turned a handle and a human person said "number please - I am sorry Misses Jones is visiting her sister this afternoon I will connect you there instead" will be rushing to embrace the computerised telephone exchange after one visit to the Hello Girls (ABC TV Mon. to Thur, 6.30 PM). It is full of Chrissy Cross( a Bra. and Corset manufacturers dream) plus a weird collection of female telephonists who look like Ally McBeal on a bad hair day.. They never appear to answer a single call but spend their switchboard shifts discussing male technicians and boy friends too dumb for the Seven & Nine's Super Quizzes

The program has no laugh track and if recorded before a live? studio audience, they are sitting there like stunned mullets too shell shocked to even giggle let alone laugh out loud. Oh Hugh ( ABC programmer) please find some David Croft productions old or new for this time slot.
