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…

Video Review aired on Ten at midnight for a whole two minutes… followed by the NBL at 12.02am. What is Video Review?

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.

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?
