Gutted that I wasn't born until a year later this happened, but have seen the clip lots and it never fails to make me laugh, and Rod Hull was allegedly a lovely man off screen, he was taken from us way too soon, God Bless you Rod
Parkinson hated this but it made his reputation. Rod did the same thing with Johnny Carson and Richard Prior on the Tonight Show and they loved it apparently.
Myself and my brother got an EMU each for chistmas morning, after reenacting this scene on various family members relentlessy for the rest of the day, they were confiscated by lunch time and never seen again.
Can remember Billy Connolly on Parkinson and Rod Hull and Emu was on it too. Connolly's first words were something like - If that thing comes near me I'll destroy it and break your hand. Needless to say it didn't go near him all night.
I have an Emu puppet at home. When I put this on he stabbed his beak at Parkinson, then turned to me and did his angry face. Still has a grudge then...
wtf?

I think Billy Connolly said "If that thing comes near me I'll break its neck and your bloody arm"
