Hedley’s last stand
Wednesday 18th November 2009, 2:58PM GMT.
Alone in a foreign land ... the adventures of Hedley – also known as Clive Pearce – involve a shipwreck in Herm and an escape from Guernsey
THE date of the première of the long-awaited new video from Jersey’s favourite farmer, Hedley Le Maistre, has finally been announced.
In the latest instalment of the tractor-driving Youtube star’s madcap antics, entitled Robinson Crapaud, he indulges in a Jerseyman’s favourite pastime – taking the mickey out of Guernsey.
Speaking from his secret hideaway in deepest St Ouen, Hedley revealed that this is his last video. The film follows the success of Take That Grouville! and Broad Bean Down, which had more than 100,000 hits on YouTube.
Robinson Crapaud is due to hit the internet with its première at Cineworld on 5 December. Money raised at the première will go to the Channel Islands Air Search.

In view of the prosecution of a local tattoo artist for ‘inciting racial hatred’ (still don’t get that one….. they’ve said he only had a box of CDs, had no plans to play the material in public, and there’s no mention of the band’s being followed up with – surely, if anyone was inciting hatred, it would be them??)
Sorry, I digress, I was saying, if Hedley’s outwardly speaking AGAINST the Guernsarians, surely that too is inciting racial hatred??
Let’s see a little balance people…

I bet that Hedley’s site gets far more hits than Senator Syvret’s.

Tess, you clearly have no understanding of humour, like the revered Senator who is beyond a joke. May he continue to enjoy his sojourn in England.

Colin Machon, I think you are trying to wind Hedley up suggesting a haircut from a Donkey named salon. (the very place where I first wondered what you could write with a Stypic Pencil (I was much too innocent to thik it might have been something for the weekend).
What’s wrong with a trip to Julien’s at Snow Hill?
My parents nearly disowned me when I came home from M. Vadelorge with a Semi-crew, Joe Brown style.

I don’t know – you local yokels and your interesting sense of humour – really crack me up.
Do us all a favour and spare us the wit of a bunch of aeroplane pointing halfwits.

How come this was filmed in Guernsey ?
Trying to save some money in expenses with no GST I guess Hedley, my bearded friend ?
Don’t take the Michael too much – you will all want to move over here when GST goes up to 10%.
Then we can call you Cronkies – a cross beteeen a Crapaud and a Donkey.
Don’t forget to blow out the candles when you leave.

What about a sequel to Take That Grouville called Escape From Grouville to the music from the film The Great Escape?

Adrian 13… I can see it now ..The Scene.. Pontac Station.. The ticket collector allows the two men to pass and then says..’ Nice weather for November isn’t it Herr Syvret..’

Having seen the film I’d say this is more of a piss take of Jersey than anything else…the bit when he thinks he’s arrived in Jersey and thinks they’ve finally sorted the Waterfront and it looks so much nicer only to find he’s actually in Guernsey…LMAO
