Peter Luck’s Bicentennial Minutes, that were broadcast through 1988

2 Likes

I only learned a few years ago that the Bicentennial Minutes was, of course, similar to an American series Bicentennial Minute (not plural) that ran in 1976 for that country’s bicentennial. The American version, which aired on CBS, took more the form of an “on this day” format.

A promo for Don Lane Show August 1983.

I haven’t seen any of this episode unfortunately - rumour is that Patti Newton has every episode on tape/film

Did he ever take you to the studios when he was appearing on shows? Would have been very exciting for a kid, or was it just seen as boring dad work and you didn’t want to go? :stuck_out_tongue:

Oh no I went - cause I was always fascinated with the media.
I went to every episode of the reboot of League Teams he co-hosted with Sandy Roberts and Bob Davis.
And I’d turn up to episodes of SportsWorld Footy Panel, and most of the Ch7 and Fox Footy games he called on television.

My head just exploded! Wow.

I think you are doing great work in digitising like Zampakid and several others. I was just thinking the other day the one good thing these days is the access to older content to rewatch on YouTube unlike say 20+ years ago where you didn’t have that unless you recorded it yourself.

Thanks for the kind words. Just trying to make all the stuff that hasn’t been accessible, as accessible as possible
