waitingmanRelated to my last post, here's how I remember colour TV coming to Australia...
The Aunty Jack Show was a kind of Australian hybrid of Monty Python, The Goodies & All In The Family, only with more shameless parochial references & without anything like the budget of any of those influences. The effect of Aunty trying to hold down the rising colour & managing to remain B&W while the other cast members went colour, probably blew the meagre budget for that week... but it's my enduring memory of the time - priceless
