In Melbourne Tonight with Graham Kennedy 29/12/1961

I am currently reading the biography on Bert Newton that mention in depth In Melbourne Tonight and what went on behind the scenes. A great read for anyone who loved both Graham Kennedy and Bert Newton and remembers the show and the old days of tv. I was not born during the early days of tv but it is a fascinating read

1:16
Clapper board for the start of the video tape and he said the IMC for Friday so

1:35
already know everybody’s going to do something different I’m going to try and be good
1:43
huh and um in fact I don’t know what I’m going if anything I just think I might stay in the background and compare all
1:49
this because I know it’s going to be funny it must be funny if the singers are going to dance and the dancers are
1:55
going to sing it must be funny if Tony Lemon plays a musical instrument instead of singing and it must be terribly funny
2:02
if Eric Pierce does something else but read the news and that’s what he’s going to do so U I think this will be a fun
2:11
hour if it if it isn’t funny well then it’s just going to be chaotic but let’s start um the ballet our first on not to
2:19

35:17
might have a whole lot more viewers because pity was such a great film up against us tonight someone might have missed the early part of the fun we’ve
35:24
been having tonight I think it’s been one of the funniest shows I’ve ever been in really because it’s uh it’s so mad
35:30
everybody’s doing something that they don’t normally do and it’s it’s fun as least it’s fun in here I hope it’s coming out that way at home I’ve got a
35:36
dish of ice cream and I can see it’s I can see it’s a certain brand of ice cream and the big question is who put
35:43
the cream in ice cream who puts the cream in ice cream it
35:48
it who puts the cream in ice cream a jug of cream in every pack so
35:55
good for youer a real meal of creamy goodness bring home a Topper family pack tomorrow toer really put the cream in
36:04
[Music] ice I really eat this I love it topper
36:09
ice cream buy the big four Shilling um family pack of topper ice cream at your
36:15
favorite confectioners Milk Bar and remember topper really puts the cream in
36:21
ice cream now we have the you’ve already seen the channel 9 dancers who sang for
36:27
you well now here are the channel 9 singers you saw the channel 9 dancers
36:32
who sang for you now you’re going to see the channel N9 singers who are going to dance now this should be real strange so
36:39
let’s have a look here are the channel 9
36:56
singers oh all right well that must have to go down as
37:02
the Highlight so far you were watching gladus Rainer was it who did the choreography for them and
37:10
they were the channel 9 singers would I just had this horrible thought wouldn’t it be shocking if someone came home from a party somewhere and thought we might
37:16
watch a bit of IMT for participating in Tommy’s bit uh
37:23
once again I repeat in case you’ve just tuned in I think this is the most entertaining or has been the most
37:29
entertaining half hour so far 3/4 of an hour that we’ve ever had and it’s by nowhere means finished yet we’ve got a
37:36
lot more to do of course DARS is coming up too meanwhile back at the Grand Piano
37:41
