The Money or the Gun

The Money or the Gun was an Australian comedy / talk-show on the ABC network in 1989-1990, with occasional specials until 1994. Written by Andrew Denton and produced by Mark Fitzgerald, the most notable facet of this satirical comedy was that each week a guest would perform their own version of Led Zeppelin's "Stairway to Heaven".
Each episode was based on a significant theme, and in 1993 one was called "Topic of Cancer", which talked to teenagers with cancer (while at a CanTeen weekend). In 2003 Denton held a 10-year reunion for the people on the 1993 show, as part of his acclaimed ABC interview programme Enough Rope.
