Ten launches two daytime game shows. $100,000 Moneymakers hosted by Jimmy Hannan, and It Could Be You hosted by Barry Crocker (and featuring Hannan’s daughter Melissa). Both are remakes of former game shows.
Today’s TV: 15.2.1982, Adelaide + regionals RTS5A and GTS/BKN
EDIT: I removed my reference to Olivia Newton-John special airing on the night in Melbourne being same as the one that aired in Sydney on 14 February, but this was a different program to the one mentioned by @Newsweary which was from 1983. I read the year wrong
I’ve discovered that 1982 one hour special was produced by Capitol Records to promote the “Physical” album. It screened in Sydney the same day. It featured new film clips, interviews and a segment featuring new boyfriend Matt Lattanzi. Parts of that special were considered too raunchy for the American audience and had to be re-shot or censored. Apparently the Australian audience got to see the uncut version.
The 1983 special mentioned yesterday was Olivia singing her hits at a concert venue in the US.
We had Olivia Newton-John’s Greatest Hits albums in the house as a child and I vaguely remember watching both of these specials.
Yes, all 4 members of the network had different logos. It wasn’t until 1985 that the 3 Ten’s shared the same logo. Brisbane was still 0 until 1988 and Perth started in 1988 also.
Schools in Victoria then usually went back in the first week of Feb so I’m not sure why there is no schools programming on this day. When I check for the previous week and remainder of this particular week there are school programs. ABN2 Sydney also did not have any schools programs on 15 February but did for the rest of the week.
I can’t think of any public holiday being in February in those days, so I can’t explain why there are no schools programs on this particular day.
You know, that synopsis probably wouldn’t have looked entirely out of place in a Sydney or Brisbane TV guide (Replace “4” with “7” if ATN & BTQ had the rights to what was then VFL?) during the era before both cities received local teams!
