Happy fiftieth anniversary to the pioneering kids TV show Hey Hey It’s Saturday. In 1970’s staid, backwards, bogan, conservative Australia, this was just the show the kids of Australia needed to wake them up to thinking outside the square. In … Continue reading →

A movie review. Tuesday 21st of November 1995. I was busy at work that day, but my focus was on only one thing – watching Diana’s interview which was going to be broadcast live in Australia at the same time … Continue reading →
