Today’s TV: 5.2.1981, Melbourne

includes the debut of Daily At Dawn, which I wrote this startling recollection last year. Literally the only line I remember from the show.

I seem to recall it was very short-lived. Though I remember one gag. There was a news story about a streaker at some sporting event. The instruction was to put the picture of the streaker on the front page but censor it. They ended up running the pic on the front page, with a black bar covering the streaker’s eyes. Cast all look in shock as they see the front page.

“Oh, no this is a disaster!”, one says.

Noeline snaps back, grinning, “No, we’ll sell a million!”

I obviously found it very amusing at the age of 9 that it’s the only line from the show that I remember!
