Deadly Earnest
Deadly Earnest was a late-night horror host active on Australian television between 1961–78. Originated as a live (pre-video machine) host of a horror film package for Perth's TVW-7 by 1961, the character was most active between 1966 and 1972 when adopted by the 0-10 Network. Broadcast weekly, ''Deadly Earnest's Aweful Movies''〔Aka ''Aweful Movies with Deadly Earnest.'' Spelling and title fluctuated from state to state.〕 featured mainly b-grade horror movies introduced by local actors with a tongue-in-cheek characterization. The program was notorious for showing the absolute ''dross'' of supernaturally themed cinema, even going so far as to present the Worst Movie of the Year on at least one occasion.〔Born in Coventry, England, Ian Bannerman was the first actor to adopt the Deadly Earnest persona and probably the first late-night horror host to appear on commercial Australian TV.

==History==
While the character was originated by TVW-7 musical director Max Bostock, it is not known how long this version continued. Revived in Sydney by Ian Bannerman in 1966, the idea was evidently so successful that local variants soon turned up in Melbourne, Brisbane and Adelaide.〔Deadly Earnest was simultaneously portrayed by Ralph Baker in Victoria, Shane Porteous in Queensland, and Hedley Cullen in South Australia. Each differed widely from Bostock's original character, leading to some confusion amongst fans as to who was the 'real' Earnest in later years. See ('Deadly Earnest/Aweful Movies' 13 November 2007 )〕 Varying widely in appearance and personality, each version took a vaguely sardonic approach to the subject matter, frequently ridiculing whatever film he happened to be hosting. The show was popular with student audiences, who apparently tuned in more for the commentaries than for the actual movies (which according to at least one observer were little short of atrocious).〔''"Way, way, back in the 1960s, way before Elvira, a favourite amongst Australian students was Deadly Earnest, the TV schlock horror host. Late on Friday nights, the atrocious old sci-fi and horror films became compulsory viewing, solely because of the gothic master of ceremonies."'' ( Deadly Earnest Index ).〕
