In the comments of my earlier Fielding post, Tobias Ziegler reminded us about the magnificent Uncle Steve’s Home Movies series (just like Uncle Arthur’s from The Comedy Company but crapper) from a couple of years back. There was a doorknocking video, a swimming carnival video, a bottle suit video and a recycling video to name but a few.
So I went looking for these cinematic masterpieces to chuck a couple of links in the comments after Tobias’ reminder, but unfortunately those movies are no longer on Steve’s website. Fortunately, however, a few of them are still on my computer hard drive. So here they are complete with shitty advertising message from the free program I used to download them originally. Think of these as Steve’s audition for the 7.30 Report.
The Dawn Service (plus a picture of Steve interrupting everyone to film his fillum):

Well that is 2 minutes and 52 seconds that I will never get back.

That’s up there with finding the lost print of Metropolis. A chilling vision of the future.

It’s a real shame I don’t have the swimming carnival or some of the others. They were truly cringeworthy. In one Steve was in the back seat of his comcar at night and the driver had stopped on the side of the road due to heavy hail. Steve turned the camera on himself and said something about the dangers of being a politician. WTF?

By the way, are you determined to sledge Steve Fielding on every website you’re involved with?

He is good value in the LOL stakes, shame he has the power to fuckup the country.
He’s right about the recycling thing, shame he ruined his point by dressing up like a 10yr old on Halloween

Ah, good times. Back before Penbo said we’re not allowed to laugh at him because of his (Fielding’s, not Penbo’s) learning disability.
P.S. My invoice for bloging consultancy services is in the mail. And what’s with this “Tobias Ziegler” business – is this sort of up-market blog too good to have people called Tobby? What’s next, a “no pants, no comments” policy?

Poor old Fielding. He did try. He was an accident of history, saw his moment to shine, and fired up all two watts of his globe as hard as he could. But, alas, I think I can only exists in stories. Come the next election he is out of here. As indeed is any other family first unpleasantness.

I enjoyed how in the last video he questions an English gentleman. I’m guessing everyone else he asked knew who he was and declined to be in this video. But how would this gentleman feel to learn Fielding isn’t the political heavyweight he sold himself as?
Curiouser and curiouser.
