The Gus Honeybun Appreciation page
On now-defunct Television South West (TSW), Gus Honeybun (also formally known as Augustus J. Honeybun) the rabbit used to assist the afternoon continuity announcer and also present kids' birthday requests at around 5pm each day. He was something of a student cult-favourite - maybe because of various drug references such as the "Magic Bunny Hops" where he bounced up and down on a mushroom to a background of LSD-type effects. Gus visited the Student's Union a number of times, and appeared in Rag days.
More information can be found on the official TSW site.
