CareerCarroll first appeared on Geelong radio station 3GL in the 1950s, and joined Melbourne television station GTV-9 in its first active year, 1956, as producer for children's television. He worked on shows such as The Tarax Show both on screen and as a producer, and later wrote for Graham Kennedy. He created the character "Professor Ratbaggy", which owed its origins to Denzil Howson's "Professor Nitwitty" from the late 1950s, and he appeared as "Uncle" Ernie.[1] He also penned the comic strip versions of Gerry Gee,[2] Joy-Belle and Ossie Ostrich. His greatest fame was as the puppeteer and voice of "Ossie Ostrich", initially on The Tarax Show then on the long-running and successful variety show, Hey Hey It's Saturday with Daryl Somers. Carroll hired Somers to work on Cartoon Corner, and played the role of Ossie when Somers' co-host, the footballer Peter McKenna, was forced to withdraw: Carroll 'decided to replace McKenna with... one of his old puppet characters he had stashed in a suitcase'[3]. Cartoon Corner, with Somers and Carroll as hosts, ran between 1971 and 1977, when both men left the Nine Network for the 0-10 network and The Daryl and Ossie Show, an arrangement that would only last a year and which saw them return to 9 in 1979. Ossie, played by Carroll, was also Somers' sidekick on Hey Hey It's Saturday from 1971 until December 1994, when Carroll retired.{{citation needed|date=March 2016}} He reprised his role as Ossie in 2009 with the second Hey Hey It's Saturday reunion special and later returned to the show's re-instatement in 2010. Carroll and Somers created the television production company, Somers Carroll Productions.[4] Carroll was notoriously eager to keep the illusion of Ossie separate from his role as puppeteer: he would, for instance, refuse to have his picture taken with the puppet. An article about Carroll in the Melbourne Age in 1993 described one episode of Hey Hey It's Saturday in which Nigel Kennedy told viewers 'Something like, "Hey look, there's a bloke over there with his arm up the bird"' to which Carroll responded with 'a rare on-air putdown... "Some people have no sense of fantasy!"'[5] References1. ^TV Week 26 June 1958, pg. 2 Vic Edition 2. ^TV Week 26 June 1958, pg.2 Vic Edition 3. ^Ross Warneke 'Hey Hey, I'm Outta Here' Age Green Guide supplement, 4 April 1995, p. 10 4. ^{{cite web|url=https://books.google.com.au/books?id=OYRPAH2FrfcC&lpg=PA346&ots=-E0ifHYKOa&pg=PA346#v=onepage&q&f=false|title=The A to Z of Australian Radio and Television|page=346|access-date=January 4, 2018|first1=Albert|last1=Moran|first2=Chris|last2=Keating}} 5. ^Wendy Tuohy 'Carroll stays behind Ossie - for the kids' The Age 5 August 1993, p. 37 External links
