That TEN Eyewitness News ad… that reminded me… when I was young and naive (or even more naive than I am now!), I used to think TEN Eyewitness News meant that if no one actually SAW it, they couldnt report on it (eg. maybe a murder or a crash).

The Einstein Factor was a great little gem for the ABC on Sundays. Peter Berner was a great host. The Chase’s Matt Parkinson was a regular adjudicator on the show too.
10’s Australia’s Brainiest (Specials) was a good show too. A bit of fun.
Funny seeing the kid’s programs on early Sunday mornings on Seven and Nine. Long gone are those days with the multi-channels…

Of course that was the day in which Tony Lockett kicked his 1,300th goal to become the greatest goal kicker in AFL history. A day AFL fans in Sydney would never forget.

It’s crazy that I can remember watching that entire 10 evening/primetime lineup.

I think it was a glorified ad/Infomercial for a video chain. Literally just a review of a new release IIRC. May have been presented by Brigitte Duclos?
