A few birthday wishes from GO!'s second year.
I need help identifying the person in the last one… Probably another Big Bang Theory actor but GO!'s Facebook didn’t mention him…

Thanks. I have updated the title of the video to include his name.
That’ll cost you one man card.
The acceptable answer was L O S T

Interesting response find, seems rare (although i’m not sure if they’re August 5-9 stuff or soft launch-era stuff). Also, wasn’t the guy in the third image the same person at the start of this ident?

Yes, all from Vampire Diaries - it was one of the channel’s feature programs prior to launch.

It’s quite sad to think that Peter Harvey (who filed report #2 that night) passed away around 19 months before South Sydney finally won another premiership. He would’ve loved to file a report on the four decade+ drought being broken in 2014, I think!

He would’ve been looking down from the heavens with so much pride on the evening of October 5, 2014 no doubt.
Also worth noting, Ray Martin (ex-ACA host) is also another mad Souths supporter.

Today is one year since Australian actress Cornelia Frances passed away.
This is how Seven’s Morning News covered the news that she had just died, on May 29 last year.

National Nine News Brisbane from 2002.
You know what intrigues me about this set - not only was it nearly as identical as the Sydney set at the time, but I also wonder what the floor plan was like seeing that there were so many interesting angles.
In Brisbane, Wally Lewis would present the sport behind the background with the NNN screen to his right, while in Sydney Ken Sutcliffe would present the sport behind the background with the NNN screen to his left (think about it as he sitting where Jillian Whiting sits in the Brissy set).
Also watch out for Melissa Downes finishing a report just near the 2 minute mark. She must have been voice-overed that report given it’s unlikely she would’ve been in London at the time.

You are the weakest link. Goodbye. Best game show on TV

I did work experience at QTQ a couple of months before this bulletin (Sep 2002) and the set was pretty much identical to TCN’s I was told. The only difference may have been the desk which lasted through a couple more set updates after this one I believe. I remember thinking at the time the set/studio were a lot smaller than what I had imagined them to be from seeing them on TV.

Did you actually get to see the set for yourself?
Today, 20 years ago, Seven broadcast the last edition of Eleven AM, ending a 24-year run.
And, the same day was the debut of the “7” watermark, I remember the online outrage in the newsgroups at the time. How dare a TV channel burn in their logos on our screens. How innocent we were

Ahhh yes. The good old “The One to Watch” slogan which Seven introduced that year.
And Natalie Barr has hardly aged (the hair style aside)! Still sounds the same these days. For comparison, this is Barr eighteen years on…
I recall Steve Liebmann hosting in the 1970s. I think I had a thing for the theme music they were using at the time (surprise, surprise). I wish I could recall the Clive Robertson and Graham Kennedy eras more clearly because I went on to love the late night news shows they hosted. I do remember thinking it was odd to see Kennedy hosting a serious news show but nothing about what format the show took under his brief tenure.
Online outrage? In 1999, there weren’t many places to be outraged in then!
Ahhhh, yes. How could I forget the Newsgroups! What a mess they could be at times!
