Speaker 8: Anyway, so we're into the weekend. Rap, what did you
Speaker 8: get up? I was part of a.
Speaker 9: Big poker game on five stakes, fairly high.
Speaker 8: Do you wear a suit? We like Cuban cigars? No,
Speaker 8: it was nothing like that.
Speaker 9: It was it was well, it was fair house cape
Speaker 9: and of course, remember when it does not approve of gambling,
Speaker 9: you understand that, so you know, gambling or drinking or anything.
Speaker 8: Anything like that.
Speaker 9: Any funny stuff either, No, none of that muck. But
Speaker 9: I lost forty six dollars at the end of the night.
Speaker 8: We'll see. That's a night's entertaining. I looked at it
Speaker 8: that way.
Speaker 9: I thought, you know, if I went out for a
Speaker 9: dinner and a show, well do a lot more than
Speaker 9: forty six bucks.
Speaker 8: Did you eat food whilst you were there?
Speaker 9: Two party piles?
Speaker 8: Oh well, okay, yeah, that's not much. I was thinking like,
Speaker 8: if you had a steak and salad or something whilst
Speaker 8: you were there. And that's a bit fancy for a
Speaker 8: poker game. What have we had a bottle of veno?
Speaker 9: Or did you? Or I love playing I love playing cards.
Speaker 9: I'm giving away a secret here with guys who drink
Speaker 9: as they become stupid at the table and they make mistakes.
Speaker 8: They get to be braved.
Speaker 9: Oh yes, and they become very careless with their money
Speaker 9: play playing against drunks or semi drugs is a delight,
Speaker 9: but you rarely find it okay.
Speaker 8: So your friends drunk, so you were accused? No, because
Speaker 8: you lost so clearly they were sober as you are.
Speaker 8: They were What a boring party? What did you do
Speaker 8: during the week? I went to the films, I went
Speaker 8: to the movies theater. I went out to Baronia because
Speaker 8: I love the Baronia Cinema because it's an independently owned
Speaker 8: one and the guy who runs at Tom and his daughter.
Speaker 8: It's a family affair. They just run this private little
Speaker 8: cinema and it's really cheap, like it's thirteen bucks for
Speaker 8: an adult to go and see a movie that's good.
Speaker 8: It's very good. Yeah, So even though it's a half
Speaker 8: hour drive to get there. That's where I go when
Speaker 8: I want to see.
Speaker 9: A movie, saving the money by drawing the car.
Speaker 8: Up the highway. It's more about supporting them than it
Speaker 8: is about saving money, because yeah, if I didn't drive
Speaker 8: all that distance and paid for a more expense cinema
Speaker 8: closer to home, i'd save time. But it's been roughly
Speaker 8: the same. But I like to support Baronia Cinema there.
Speaker 8: And what did you see? I took my son and
Speaker 8: one of my daughters to see the new Lelo and
Speaker 8: Stitch movie, which is so There was a Disney animated
Speaker 8: movie twenty years ago, probably Lelo and Stitch, lovely cartoon
Speaker 8: about a little alien who comes down and reeks havoc
Speaker 8: on Earth and ends up he becomes a pet to
Speaker 8: a young girl from a broken home, and it's a
Speaker 8: lovely little cartoon.
Speaker 9: This is the.
Speaker 8: The human acting one with special effects for the alien.
Speaker 8: So it's a reboot of it, but done with real actors,
Speaker 8: and it's not as good. I'm sorry to say. Ah, yeah,
Speaker 8: I thought you were about to say.
Speaker 9: Your face looked all hopeful and happy there.
Speaker 8: Look it was nice. If I hadn't seen the original cartoon,
Speaker 8: I would have said this was a great movie, but
Speaker 8: they've changed one or two things in it that just
Speaker 8: didn't work, not to be politically correct. I hope, well, yeah,
Speaker 8: one of the mos. Yeah, I won't. I won't talk
Speaker 8: about it because it's the way the movie ends. But yeah,
Speaker 8: the fact that they change the end to be more
Speaker 8: politically correct actually infuriated me. Yeah, because you're not going
Speaker 8: to win people over by playing all those cards. People
Speaker 8: are sick of that.
Speaker 9: Oh you're looking at one right here. We've got happier
Speaker 9: things ahead, haven't. We had a very interesting late sort
Speaker 9: of addition to remember when the Sunday Night, and that
Speaker 9: is from the cinema and historical c cinemas. You've got
Speaker 9: the actual name of the company of the body. You
Speaker 9: talk about what we're doing after eleven?
Speaker 8: Yes, So after eleven Simon Smith from the National Film
Speaker 8: and Sound Archive is going to join us because they've
Speaker 8: uncovered some new footage that will be of interest to people.
Speaker 8: So who's going to have a chat to us and
Speaker 8: tell us about that?
Speaker 9: Yes, been hidden? I think of someone's garage sort of
Speaker 9: thing for sixty.
Speaker 8: Years, which is where all the best finds come from.
Speaker 8: I can imagine wonderful stuff. So that's after eleven, Kevin
Speaker 8: Trask of that's what he're taking his way back to
Speaker 8: the seventies tonight, isn't it? Yes?
Speaker 9: And also in a marment or two, speaking of things
Speaker 9: past and all that, we're going to be roaming around
Speaker 9: the old drive ins, aren't we.
Speaker 8: We are with a man who knows all about that
Speaker 8: sort of stuff because he ran and owned a drive
Speaker 8: in cinema. Wow, So we'll chat to him after this.
Speaker 8: Located directly opposite the main gates of Forkner Cemetery are
Speaker 8: our friends at Cameo Memorials Andrew. They're always there and
Speaker 8: they always care.
Speaker 9: They've been caring for a long time, setting memories in
Speaker 9: stone for entire generations of Melbourne families. It's way back
Speaker 9: back in the eighteen seventies, that's right.
Speaker 8: They build monuments to individual needs and they respect your
Speaker 8: wishes because they know, like they just know what's good services.
Speaker 9: So sure and how important all this too, especially the
Speaker 9: very sensitive time, vulnerable time in your life. Yes, they
Speaker 9: offer memorials, pluques, fountains, mantlepieces, they've got all sorts of styles.
Speaker 9: We go through this every week, but we should because
Speaker 9: they've got just about everything for anybody, just in case.
Speaker 8: You haven't been listening for the last five years.
Speaker 9: Asian, Jewish, Islamic Orthodox, they've even got for we Scots
Speaker 9: have even got a little kilts statues he little kilts
Speaker 9: they've got with two little legs coming down.
Speaker 8: I was worried what you were we gonna say, no, no, no,
Speaker 8: the old what's worn under the kilt?
Speaker 9: A large lesson of carve statues at all sizes are
Speaker 9: available too.
Speaker 8: And if your monument and legs are looking a little
Speaker 8: on the run down side, Cameo Memorials can fix it.
Speaker 8: They restore and maintain memorials as well.
Speaker 9: Yes, it's going to be tricky when Cameo do a
Speaker 9: statue of my in me and Mkilton the legs coming
Speaker 9: How will I get the blue veins in my legs?
Speaker 8: Yes? Yes, but I think if anyone could you know
Speaker 8: what they'll do the experts at this they'll just rip
Speaker 8: a page out of a melway and wrap that around
Speaker 8: your leg because the streets look just very similar to
Speaker 8: your varica's veins.
Speaker 9: Very creative and I love you for it. Simon.
Speaker 8: Affordable prices.
Speaker 9: See this can't discounts caring guidance. It's Cameo Memorials.
Speaker 8: Check out the website Cameo Memorials dot com dot au. Andrew,
Speaker 8: when was the last time you went to a drive
Speaker 8: in cinema?
Speaker 9: Sadly too long ago. I'm going to say fifteen years
Speaker 9: or so ago, Dramala.
Speaker 8: We'll see. That's why they all closed down from your
Speaker 8: lack of support.
Speaker 9: And a lot of others said it was the video
Speaker 9: shop that sort of did them in. Wasn't it more
Speaker 9: than else? I was old.
Speaker 8: I think it was your lack of support. A man
Speaker 8: who's very angry with you joins us now David Kilderry,
Speaker 8: who ran the Lunar drive in for years and years
Speaker 8: and years.
Speaker 10: Hello David god Simon good Andrew.
Speaker 8: Now David, so tell us movies, drive ins and stuff?
Speaker 8: Where did that get first enter your life? Where did
Speaker 8: the love of it come from?
Speaker 11: Well?
Speaker 10: I remember going to the drive in as a little kid,
Speaker 10: being flopped in the backseat of the family Volkswagen and
Speaker 10: fighting for viewing space with my brothers and sisters. But
Speaker 10: the story I like to tell is that in nineteen
Speaker 10: seventy four, my parents built a second story extension on
Speaker 10: the family home in Reservoir. My sister chose the bedroom
Speaker 10: with the view of the backyard and I got the
Speaker 10: one that looked out to a drive in screen. So
Speaker 10: from that point on I was hooked.
Speaker 9: See how about that got no sound but you got
Speaker 9: to see the action.
Speaker 10: Well, with the type of movies they were running in
Speaker 10: the mid seventies andrew that, you didn't really need sound.
Speaker 9: And it was going fairly predictable plots. Yeah, that's intriguing,
Speaker 9: and you ended up with the controlling the lunar. How
Speaker 9: many drive ins do you know are still operating around
Speaker 9: Melbourne or in the greater Melbourne area?
Speaker 12: Well, but this.
Speaker 10: Two in Melbourne. There's Village Coburg and down at Dremana
Speaker 10: as well, but there's only twelve left in Australia. And
Speaker 10: if we were talking just a few months ago, I
Speaker 10: would have said ten because two of them, one in
Speaker 10: Queensland and one in South Australia, had their screens blown
Speaker 10: down and that's a problem. Once they get to fit
Speaker 10: sixty years old, the rust and rot starts to take
Speaker 10: effect and storms took them both out. But I'm pleased
Speaker 10: to save both of those drivings, one in Cooper Pedy
Speaker 10: and one in air back open again and screening now.
Speaker 9: So well, the Cooper PD drive in. There's a thought. Hell,
Speaker 9: I just can't imagine, but of course there is obviously one.
Speaker 9: What would a screen cost a replace?
Speaker 10: Oh well, look, they're upwards of three to four hundred
Speaker 10: thousand dollars now because they're massive. They're as large as
Speaker 10: a suburban house block when if you lay the thing
Speaker 10: on the ground. But of course you need about twenty
Speaker 10: concrete mixers worth of concrete just to secure the foundations
Speaker 10: before you start with all the steel work coming up
Speaker 10: out of the ground.
Speaker 8: Well, now that that answers David a question that I
Speaker 8: had for you, because I occasionally go out to the
Speaker 8: one Turner trash and treasure place out there, which is
Speaker 8: on the old one turn A drive in cinema spot,
Speaker 8: and the concrete base, the big concrete blocks that were
Speaker 8: at the bottom of the screen are still there. And
Speaker 8: I look at it when I go there, and I go,
Speaker 8: I wonder why they never got rid of those blocks.
Speaker 10: Yeah, well, it's like an iceberg. Most of it's below
Speaker 10: the surface. But you're right. The tragic story with the
Speaker 10: old hoytz Wan Turner drive in was is that in
Speaker 10: nineteen eighty two Heints made the decision to add a
Speaker 10: second screen there and it cost them about a million
Speaker 10: dollars with all the ash fels and new projection building.
Speaker 10: So it was a twin screen, but for just one year.
Speaker 10: So you mentioned earlier the videos. They had a devastating
Speaker 10: effect and that driving closed as a twin drive in
Speaker 10: only after one year of operation with the two screens.
Speaker 9: See the heuts took a bath there, didn't they financially?
Speaker 10: Absolutely? The business changed really fast. Andrew, I was working
Speaker 10: in drivings in those days and while they were closing
Speaker 10: faster than we could eat a steak sandwich from the
Speaker 10: snack bar.
Speaker 8: Did you ever try some drivings?
Speaker 9: I know did I never actually went to one of them,
Speaker 9: but that had this But there were rock bands sometimes
Speaker 9: playing before the movie at some drive ins.
Speaker 10: Oh look, it was huge our driving at Danning on
Speaker 10: the Luna when it was village in the seventies. They
Speaker 10: had Billy Thorpe and the Aztecs play there one afternoon
Speaker 10: and the sound was so loud they got complaints from
Speaker 10: two suburbs away. So of course your good friend Pete
Speaker 10: Smith used to compare battle of the bands at the
Speaker 10: north Land Twin Driving and Denise Dreisdale was one of
Speaker 10: the go go dances there, so there's been lots of
Speaker 10: live music at drivings over the years.
Speaker 8: We've just had a text coming through. My last trip
Speaker 8: to the Lunar driving that I went to was to
Speaker 8: see one of the worst films I ever paid to see,
Speaker 8: The Flash in twenty twenty two. It's not your fault
Speaker 8: if the product's not.
Speaker 10: Good, though, No, that's right. I'd take a fence if
Speaker 10: it was the hamburgers or the donuts. But giving it
Speaker 10: to the movie, we just show them, we don't make them.
Speaker 8: Like the hard top.
Speaker 9: There is a lot of money, a lot of profit
Speaker 9: comes from, of course, the concessions, doesn't it from the
Speaker 9: hamburgers and the lollies?
Speaker 10: Absolutely, Andrew look the concessions as we call them in
Speaker 10: the industry, whether it be hot food or just the
Speaker 10: popcorn and the drinks.
Speaker 12: It's important.
Speaker 10: But I should point out that there are cinemas where
Speaker 10: snacks are still reasonably affordable. You can make good profit
Speaker 10: without charging extortion at prices. And when I go, and
Speaker 10: I still go to the cinema and drive in quite frequently,
Speaker 10: when I see prices that I think are over the top,
Speaker 10: I think that's just pushing a little bit too far.
Speaker 10: There's still good money in it without being ridiculous.
Speaker 8: Now, So how did you come to run? So you
Speaker 8: ended up owning the Lunar Driving, didn't you?
Speaker 12: We did?
Speaker 10: Yeah, Look, I'd spent my career working. I started at
Speaker 10: Greater Union Cinemas, working at the Forum, which many of
Speaker 10: your listeners would remember, perhaps even as the State. So
Speaker 10: I started there about forty four years ago as an
Speaker 10: assistant projectionist, then rose through the projectionist, worked at Hoyts,
Speaker 10: worked in their cinemas and drivings, then went to Village
Speaker 10: and I got to supervise both drivings and cinemas there.
Speaker 10: So the natural progression and what I always wanted to
Speaker 10: do was to run my own theater. So with a
Speaker 10: partner and my brother, we reopened the former closed Village
Speaker 10: Danino Driving as it was over twenty years ago and
Speaker 10: ran it for over twenty years.
Speaker 8: Was it a Was it a good community in that
Speaker 8: if you're up against Heyts and Village, who were, of
Speaker 8: course sort of the two big ones and you're operating
Speaker 8: as an independent did they you know they sort of
Speaker 8: a bit not happy with you? Or was it all
Speaker 8: a big friendly community?
Speaker 11: Well?
Speaker 10: I wouldn't say it was absolutely friendly. But look, given
Speaker 10: I knew very senior people at both companies, I remember
Speaker 10: that one company in particular said to me they were
Speaker 10: very supportive of having strong independent cinemas out there, and
Speaker 10: plus we were going to hire a lot of films
Speaker 10: from their distribution arm and that we did. Look, luckily,
Speaker 10: we weren't competing with the drive in against one of theirs.
Speaker 10: At the time. Both Dromana and Coburg were equi distant
Speaker 10: from us at Luna Daninong, so as long as there
Speaker 10: was a forty five minute drive, we weren't really standing
Speaker 10: on their toes. And look, some people just prefer the
Speaker 10: drive into an indoor cinema, and we drew from a
Speaker 10: large area. And in fact, we said almost every one
Speaker 10: of our customers had to drive past the cinema to
Speaker 10: get to us. So they're making a drive in choice
Speaker 10: rather than a choice on a particular movie or not.
Speaker 8: So.
Speaker 9: Talking with David Kilderry about drive in movies, and there
Speaker 9: was a big problem with musicals, view that the drive
Speaker 9: in for years and years has been it's been fixed now.
Speaker 9: Of course, you can you tune into your car radio,
Speaker 9: your car sound system too. Here here the movie soundtrack.
Speaker 9: But I remember going to see Paint your Wagon at
Speaker 9: the and then you've got this little tiny speaker hooks
Speaker 9: on your window, and all that eight track sound or
Speaker 9: whatever sixteen track sound that Holly would have gone to
Speaker 9: the bottle of creating for the movie was just reduced
Speaker 9: to this little timid it was.
Speaker 8: That was a bit problem Muslim, all of.
Speaker 10: That beautiful seventy millimeter six track stereo sound folded down
Speaker 10: into one little insect eaton speaker hang its right window. Yeah, look,
Speaker 10: thankfully sound improved. Andrew. You know, all are driving since
Speaker 10: the nineties have used FM stereo sound. So we used
Speaker 10: to say that the better your car sound system is,
Speaker 10: the better our movie is going to sound. So that
Speaker 10: was a big improvement. Yet people loved the nostalgia of
Speaker 10: the speakers. They didn't want us to take the speakers away.
Speaker 10: They wanted them there. They wanted to look at them.
Speaker 11: They want to use.
Speaker 10: Them, absolutely, it's synonymous with the driving, but they didn't
Speaker 10: want to listen to them. They wanted the better quality sounds.
Speaker 8: But then that drive off with it still attached to
Speaker 8: the window.
Speaker 11: Ah.
Speaker 10: Luckily only very few people did that because it did
Speaker 10: cause problems for us.
Speaker 12: And for then.
Speaker 9: I remember there was a Sandringham drive and I went
Speaker 9: to it a long time ago and there was a
Speaker 9: little section where you could just sit and these were
Speaker 9: people who I remember I spoke to them at interval
Speaker 9: and they just came to the drive in to watch
Speaker 9: the movie. There was a speaker there and they actually
Speaker 9: lived only a street away and they just walked up.
Speaker 9: And did you provide seats out in actual seats for
Speaker 9: non vehicle people?
Speaker 10: We did, and the indoor sections that they had for
Speaker 10: those people at some of the drivings. Burwood had one
Speaker 10: as well, and there was one at our driving. They
Speaker 10: were called walking so they were in cinema seats with
Speaker 10: a big glass wall and a speaker. And that's for
Speaker 10: people that wanted to arrive on a bike or walk.
Speaker 10: In fact, I heard even some people arrived on horses
Speaker 10: to view movies in the early days.
Speaker 8: That way it driving wonderful. I didn't realize what a great.
Speaker 11: Idea it was a good idea. Yeah, now you.
Speaker 8: Do presentations and public speaking and stuff, don't you on this?
Speaker 8: Is it just on drivings that you do it?
Speaker 10: Or no? I do it? On a few topics mostly
Speaker 10: related to cinemas, but also do some to do with
Speaker 10: cars as well. But the most popular public talk I
Speaker 10: do was on the history of drivings, and I do
Speaker 10: that quite often, and I also do quite a few
Speaker 10: on cinemas as well. And I've got one coming up
Speaker 10: at the paran Mechanics Institute on August the twelfth, and
Speaker 10: that's called the Loss Suburban Cinemas of Melbourne. And that's
Speaker 10: a free talk that's happening there, so you can book
Speaker 10: online if there's still some seats available, and you'll hear
Speaker 10: all about Melbourne's loss suburban cinemas.
Speaker 9: I've got another thing that really well did the cinema,
Speaker 9: the drive in cinemas in David was the fact that
Speaker 9: so much of their land became just extremely valuable. The
Speaker 9: Clinton Drive, it was, well, how many acres was the
Speaker 9: luna to give me some.
Speaker 10: Luna was fifteen But Clayton that you mentioned Metro and
Speaker 10: a village Clayton across the road from the university there
Speaker 10: it was on twenty five acres of some of the
Speaker 10: most prime land. And when you think of Tuak driving
Speaker 10: up on the hill there on Turrak Road and Standringham,
Speaker 10: as we mentioned, the moment these places started to have
Speaker 10: marginal operating figures. That was a very easy decision to
Speaker 10: sell them and get the profits. And that's the problem
Speaker 10: with drivings today. They're christ out of the populated areas.
Speaker 9: It's unbelievable now people there was a driving in track
Speaker 9: and that you know, what was it two or three
Speaker 9: thousand dollars per square footed land or something like that
Speaker 9: into ITCT and there used to be driving there. Yeah,
Speaker 9: very hard to justify running it as a.
Speaker 10: Theater, that's right, Yeah, it really People ask me often,
Speaker 10: you know, will drive ins open again? Will anyone build one? Well?
Speaker 10: They might, but you have to find an area that's
Speaker 10: close enough to a population on a piece of land
Speaker 10: that is going to have land tacks rates that are
Speaker 10: going to be affordable. And that's one of the reasons
Speaker 10: we closed it, Danny Kong is the lane tax and
Speaker 10: all the operating costs just just became too high for
Speaker 10: us to maintain the driving there now.
Speaker 8: David Kilderry, Captain Elfie has called in an occasional caller
Speaker 8: to the programs I believe with the question for you
Speaker 8: get a Captain Elfie.
Speaker 12: And the greeting sir, and how do you do David?
Speaker 12: It's fantastic what you're doing.
Speaker 10: But what I used to do, But thank you very much.
Speaker 12: Yes, okay, if you can just put your mind down
Speaker 12: to Lawn, back where I used to live and did
Speaker 12: all my holidays down there at my grandmother's place around
Speaker 12: the corner from the Lawn Hotel. Well, we had a
Speaker 12: cinema there since I'm saying from the sixties onwards, and
Speaker 12: it's I want to they're having a few concerts there
Speaker 12: and stuff, but it's not the old cinema with those
Speaker 12: beautiful seats, and the chap is down you know, and
Speaker 12: the chap who did it, who ran it, his nickname
Speaker 12: was Mooney. Don't ask me what his real name was,
Speaker 12: but we always knew him as Mooney. And fortunately I've
Speaker 12: heard from some of the boys down at Lawn that
Speaker 12: he did pass away. But it was a classic. And
Speaker 12: then people want to change it to I don't know,
Speaker 12: some venue even units. I mean, my god, it's.
Speaker 10: A beautiful theater down at Lawn. I know it very well.
Speaker 10: And unfortunately it changed hands about two years ago, and
Speaker 10: they had plans to run movies not just at holidays
Speaker 10: there but all year round, and unfortunately there wasn't enough
Speaker 10: numbers to support it. And now I, like you said,
Speaker 10: I heard that it's now doing live performances and various
Speaker 10: other things. I just hope that they're able to at
Speaker 10: least reopen it for the summer holidays again, because there's
Speaker 10: traditions of generations of people going down to lawn and
Speaker 10: enjoying that cinema, particularly on a rainy tay in the
Speaker 10: middle of January.
Speaker 8: It's one of those things, is that, Thank you, Captain Alphie.
Speaker 8: It's one of those things, isn't it, David, And I've
Speaker 8: always said this. We lament the closing of the local
Speaker 8: family owned hardware store, yet we all shop at Bunnings.
Speaker 8: We lament the closing of our the local butcher shop
Speaker 8: and the local greengrocer, yet we all go to coals
Speaker 8: and Woolli's the only people to blame for the lack
Speaker 8: of you for changes in these sorts of things. If
Speaker 8: a cinema closes down due to low patronage, it's the
Speaker 8: patrons who are to blame.
Speaker 10: Yeah, that's right, it's all part of it. And the
Speaker 10: old song you don't know what you've got until it's gone.
Speaker 10: Say when it's gone, I wish it was back. But
Speaker 10: you need to support them while they're there. And you know,
Speaker 10: often you see whenever you see something mentioned about driving
Speaker 10: theaters online, often the first or second comment is, oh,
Speaker 10: I used to be snuck in in the boots. Well,
Speaker 10: that certainly didn't help things on the finance either.
Speaker 8: But it was a right of passage, wasn't it.
Speaker 9: It seemed to me did you actually find that happened
Speaker 9: a lot, that people were snuck it in boots?
Speaker 10: It didn't happen a lot, but did happen. And we
Speaker 10: had a rule, my brother and I, if we caught
Speaker 10: them before the ticket box, if for another customer said hey,
Speaker 10: there's two people in the boot in the car behind us,
Speaker 10: if we caught them there, we got them out to
Speaker 10: embarrass them and let them still pay to come in.
Speaker 10: But if we caught them inside the theater, once they'd
Speaker 10: done the deception or theft is the police class it has,
Speaker 10: they'd be booted out without refund. So you walk a
Speaker 10: fine line for the people that tried to put that
Speaker 10: over on us.
Speaker 8: Wonderful And now the only bit of cinematic sort of
Speaker 8: knowledge that I've got when and I think I bring
Speaker 8: it up every time we ever speak to you, David,
Speaker 8: I was told once where Village Cinemas got its name from.
Speaker 8: And if I'm right in remembering this correctly, it was
Speaker 8: named after the twin driving at Croydon, was it.
Speaker 10: Not, Yeah, you're right. That was the Rock Kirby who
Speaker 10: was the founder along with his partners Spencer and Allix,
Speaker 10: and they built that drive in as their first one
Speaker 10: in late nineteen fifty four. And Rock told me he
Speaker 10: was looking for a name and he couldn't think of
Speaker 10: a name. And just alongside near the entrances it's where
Speaker 10: McDonald's is in Croydon now on Runda Highway. But there
Speaker 10: was an old group of shops that have now gone
Speaker 10: and they were called the Village Baker, the Village Grosser,
Speaker 10: the Village milk Bar, and he thought, why not the
Speaker 10: Village Driving. So that simple name he just took from
Speaker 10: the shops next to it, and that's the name we
Speaker 10: know well. It was in twenty countries around the world
Speaker 10: at the peak, as Village Cinemas today.
Speaker 9: Make movies and all that. Yes, a big distribution company too.
Speaker 9: David Gilderry, what an absolute pleasure to talk to you,
Speaker 9: and I hope we speak again sometime.
Speaker 10: It's always great fun. Andrew and Simon, thanks a lot.
Speaker 8: And if people do want to see talks, presentations or
Speaker 8: book you or anything, is there a website or anything
Speaker 8: they can go to.
Speaker 10: Well, for the one I've got coming up, they can
Speaker 10: just go to the paran Mechanics Institute PMI just search
Speaker 10: it online. It's the Victorian Local History Line. The Cinema
Speaker 10: and Theater Historical Society are also big supporters of my
Speaker 10: presentations and you can search for them online as well.
Speaker 8: Fabulous, good on you, David. David Kilderry from the Lunar
Speaker 8: Driving Rick Milne up after the break, tell.
Speaker 13: Me why I need another bed, Tell me why I
Speaker 13: got that album long, tell me why hy bed on Dantner's.

Speaker 9: and means Rick mill good evening, Ricky, Yes.
Speaker 11: Hello, Andy, Pandy and Simon.

Speaker 8: give us a call. Rick will be able to give
Speaker 8: you a rough estimation on what it might be worth.
Speaker 8: And if Rick doesn't know, he knows people who do know.
Speaker 8: So one double three six nine three. Share your story
Speaker 8: with us. Now, Rick, you've got you've got an event
Speaker 8: coming up or something, Yes, we.

Speaker 11: is the Schult to stay with the ear By the Way,
Speaker 11: that's what they call with the Solstice and the Brotherhood
Speaker 11: Saint Lawrence, Dan and Bentley, which is five eighteen center
Speaker 11: Destiny of Woolworth's doing a big day, having a day
Speaker 11: of from Tendal four of music and live music and

Speaker 11: So if anybody would like to come along and get
Speaker 11: things valued in the flesh, I'll be there. So that's
Speaker 11: Twotal four for me. But the whole day run from
Speaker 11: ten to four and that five eighteen center Old Bentley
Speaker 11: and it's for the Brotherhood of Saint Lawrence.
Speaker 9: All for a good cause. Ricky, You've got a wonderful
Speaker 9: memorability of sent us to tonight.
Speaker 11: Yeah, a few little spectacular items, i'd say, including knitting
Speaker 11: for soldiers.
Speaker 9: Yes, yes, Second World War.
Speaker 11: I would think Second World War. And the idea was
Speaker 11: you'd knit various things for your soldier boy and sent
Speaker 11: them over to the front.
Speaker 8: So what exactly is it that we can see the
Speaker 8: picture here and the picture is up for people who
Speaker 8: want to have a look on our Facebook page. Three
Speaker 8: aw remember when? But what is it exactly?
Speaker 11: Was it kind of a little It was a pattern
Speaker 11: book for soldiers, for shirts and so forth that the
Speaker 11: soldiers would have worn on the Second World War. And
Speaker 11: the idea was to knit these items for the soldiers.
Speaker 11: Lovely about that, isn't that something? And then the next
Speaker 11: one is my all time favorite. I like the old
Speaker 11: film Noirs and this is my favorite. It's not a
Speaker 11: very good poster as a matter of fact, considering how
Speaker 11: dark the film was. Touch of Evil and it featured
Speaker 11: the incommarable incomparable the Aweson Wells, and that to me,
Speaker 11: is one of one of the great, one of the
Speaker 11: great cinema classics.
Speaker 9: Yes, I've never seen the movie Rick. It was all
Speaker 9: said in a rather seedy border town down near Mexico,
Speaker 9: wasn't it it was.
Speaker 11: That's exactly right. It's an amazing tracking site at the
Speaker 11: Star at the Start, which runs for about five minutes,
Speaker 11: and you see it from above, and this car just
Speaker 11: explodes with the with the people in the car. Amazing.
Speaker 11: There was there was something and then a couple of
Speaker 11: other things there which we can talk about. Actually, my
Speaker 11: favorite one is the very last one. For some reason, corningwear,
Speaker 11: which is actually very very popular and out there in
Speaker 11: large numbers. Some one person is advertising corningwear for twenty
Speaker 11: four thousand dollars. And the funny part is that person
Speaker 11: who does it from various spots around the country. I
Speaker 11: don't know how they do it, but they have never
Speaker 11: ever sold another item. So naturally he contacted me. She said,
Speaker 11: I'm amazed, She said, I've got two of those. Are
Speaker 11: they truly worth twenty four thousand each? I said, with
Speaker 11: about maybe fifty to eighty, perhaps maybe one hundred at
Speaker 11: an out at the outside. But it's just one of
Speaker 11: those how would you put it? It was kind of
Speaker 11: a folk story and people suddenly believed that all a
Speaker 11: cornering where was worth an absolute fortune?
Speaker 8: Would it be a thing? Rick?
Speaker 9: Though?
Speaker 8: Like, I look at that picture and my mum had
Speaker 8: the exact same It's a casserole. It's white with her
Speaker 8: floral design on the side, with a clear glass lid,
Speaker 8: and my mum had that exact same one. And that
Speaker 8: makes me think that the person who's put that up
Speaker 8: obviously knows they're not going to sell it for that much.
Speaker 8: But that would make me go, oh, wouldn't it be
Speaker 8: cool to own one of those? And then I'd look
Speaker 8: for it elsewhere and go, oh one hundred bucks, oh
Speaker 8: buy that same time.
Speaker 11: Well, the thing is a woman did contact me to
Speaker 11: say that she had two of them.
Speaker 12: Yeah, she thought she.
Speaker 11: Was having a heart attack, she thought she's who were
Speaker 11: forty eight thousand dollars. It was a bit sad to
Speaker 11: have to otherwise it wasn't quite the same. But you
Speaker 11: will notice, of course that the one previous to that,
Speaker 11: which is for a shell sign w did sell, and
Speaker 11: you'll see the price that sold for it sold here
Speaker 11: in Australia, I.
Speaker 8: Can't see anything sold for an eye watering one hundred
Speaker 8: thirty three thousand, nine hundred and seventy five dollars.
Speaker 11: It did.
Speaker 8: Wow, an old sign. It's a beautiful sign, and it
Speaker 8: looks as though it's damaged. Is it damaged?
Speaker 15: No?
Speaker 11: I should sincerely hope not. That's sort of a price,
Speaker 11: but that's what it did sell for. I mean, it's
Speaker 11: it's that's not a made up thing. The other one
Speaker 11: is obviously that's just a big joke, but this one
Speaker 11: actually did sell for one hundred and thirty three thousand plus.
Speaker 8: How big is it?
Speaker 11: Not huge at all? It would be about forty five
Speaker 11: centimeters wide and about twelve or fifteen centimeters deep. Maybe
Speaker 11: a bit more, maybe up to sixty centimeters wide, but
Speaker 11: it's not massive, not a huge sign at all, and
Speaker 11: early one, but it's just astounding to me that had
Speaker 11: brought that proceid it did.
Speaker 8: Yeah, now, well it's beautiful colors, it looks really good.
Speaker 11: So it is, and it's a very early sign. They
Speaker 11: used that little character, that strange little character in a
Speaker 11: lot of their very very earliest advertising, so I think
Speaker 11: it's from way way back. But nonetheless, isn't that understounding
Speaker 11: for one hundred and thirty three.
Speaker 8: Thousand, that is fabulous and the last one you've got
Speaker 8: there for us Rick and again they're all available on
Speaker 8: our Facebook page. Remember when the.
Speaker 11: Red robot with sparklers and this is a little advertising
Speaker 11: signed for it. It's great And of course robots generally
Speaker 11: speaking sell really well, especially the early Japanese made. They
Speaker 11: made some amazing ones. And in fact a woman contacted
Speaker 11: me she found on the hard rubbish at a place
Speaker 11: good Armadale, not the one in Victoria, but that went
Speaker 11: up in New South Wales. She found one in the
Speaker 11: hard rubbish and it was a drumming robot and I
Speaker 11: remember we put it through one of our options and
Speaker 11: we got thousands for it and she was just a
Speaker 11: flabbergast but she found it, would you believe, just tossed
Speaker 11: out in the hard rubbish.
Speaker 8: Yeah, people just don't know what. It's always worth slowing down,
Speaker 8: and when someone's got a hard rubbish collection, it's worth
Speaker 8: slowing down. Of course, it's illegal to take it. We
Speaker 8: strongly advise that you don't, but if you happen to
Speaker 8: have a look and find something interesting, isn't that nice
Speaker 8: to be interested? It's so true.
Speaker 11: After the sun's gone down exactly a.
Speaker 9: Night becaus it never hurts, does it well? One double
Speaker 9: three six nine three. If you have something you wish
Speaker 9: to have valued by Riccardo, he would love to do it.
Speaker 9: One double three six nine three. But according to ten,
Speaker 9: we're going to take a little breaking poo and.
Speaker 8: Peter and Adel two will be first up after the break,
Speaker 8: but other calls are welcome. One double three six nine three.
Speaker 8: As Andrews said, Rick Milne is here ready to take
Speaker 8: your calls, and Peter is first off from Bergen.
Speaker 16: Get I, Peter good, any gentlemen, Rick, I have my
Speaker 16: neighbors a who's having a coin out and he found
Speaker 16: a big plastic bag of old matches, ones that you
Speaker 16: slip over and their little things match things and then
Speaker 16: you strike the bottom of the card the match.
Speaker 11: Yeah, it is a little there's like little.
Speaker 17: Book matches, you might say, yes, yes, some of from England,
Speaker 17: New York, Las Vegas nineteen sixties, the Monte.
Speaker 16: Carlo Casino, West Point Casino, Bacco Parlo Hotel. Just watter
Speaker 16: whether they're worth anything at all?
Speaker 11: Not much, not much and they're a bit of a
Speaker 11: hart fire has that I have to tell Peter. The
Speaker 11: only ones that have much value on those. They did
Speaker 11: some with sporting sporting figures on them, and those sell
Speaker 11: very well from restaurants and from places all around the world.
Speaker 11: Not much. They were given used to be given away
Speaker 11: when many more people smoked than do now, so they
Speaker 11: used to give them out. They were all previews, of course.
Speaker 11: But if you've got to need the good sporting, go
Speaker 11: through them all fine. And if you I'll give out
Speaker 11: a number in a wie and you could always give
Speaker 11: this a ring and I'll be able to see you
Speaker 11: what they're worth at least.
Speaker 8: Okay, But I would also add there, Peter, that if
Speaker 8: you put them up as a bolk lot on somewhere
Speaker 8: like eBay, there will be people like me. I've always
Speaker 8: wanted to have a big glass ball on a coffee
Speaker 8: table full of matchbooks because I just beautiful.
Speaker 11: Center through the mail. That's one of the problems with them,
Speaker 11: of course, a drug. Well, you can't matches through the mail,
Speaker 11: can't you know? You're not to unless somebody comes down
Speaker 11: with them. That'd be a different story. And yes, you're
Speaker 11: right the fishbowl full of them, but a bit of
Speaker 11: a fire hazard, I have to.
Speaker 9: Say, yes, retro, aren't you I am a bit.
Speaker 8: You're a coffee table with display teak legs. Don't all
Speaker 8: that stuff next to a pinball machine and.
Speaker 11: Next to the next to the those lights that have
Speaker 11: got those from things on them, you know, the lighter.
Speaker 8: And the lava lamp in the corner.
Speaker 11: That's what I mean, the lava lamp to that's that's
Speaker 11: even worse like bubbling oil.
Speaker 8: Yeah, just waiting to explode. Adele is in Melton High, Adele, Hello,
Speaker 8: I was just wondering.
Speaker 18: I've got a Bangjo Mandolin. Yeah, it's still insane signed
Speaker 18: and it's got bar Donal's Jacky Lee Toady, Barbla Moore,
Speaker 18: John Joseph Navis and lots of other signatures on it.
Speaker 18: And I just wondered if it was worth anything.
Speaker 11: It will be. They are, they are reasonably syllable, and
Speaker 11: there are people who are pretty adept to playing them
Speaker 11: as a matter of interest, so that that's pretty good.
Speaker 11: I would think these days probably a hundred to one
Speaker 11: fifty a del somewhere around about, and there are potential buyers.
Speaker 18: There's signatures on it. You know, it might be work.
Speaker 11: I understand, I understand it's it's it's probably worth more
Speaker 11: for you from that point of view, But for anybody
Speaker 11: else who's going to buy it, they're going to want
Speaker 11: to play it, so that's the difference. And if you
Speaker 11: if you, if you're selling it just as something with
Speaker 11: autographs on it, you might sort of get a similar price,
Speaker 11: but it would be it would sell to somebody who's
Speaker 11: looking to buy Anti Manlin and play it, So it
Speaker 11: kind of works both ways.
Speaker 8: Thanks Adele. This is Marion from Cranbourne.
Speaker 19: Rick.
Speaker 20: Rick.
Speaker 21: I have a couple of things. My mum worked for
Speaker 21: Sans and McDougall's in Melbourne, Yes, and I've got an
Speaker 21: invitation there. It says mister K. D. MacDougall requests the
Speaker 21: pleasure of your company at a victory dinner to be
Speaker 21: given by the company in the factory dining rooms on
Speaker 21: Thursday the thirteenth of September nineteen forty five.
Speaker 11: And that's great, very dreads. That would be somewhere these days.
Speaker 11: They'll be Santa MacDougall. They were up the top end
Speaker 11: of Swanson Street, as I recall, I've got that right,
Speaker 11: maybe I haven't anyway, Yes, the answer the question is
Speaker 11: they that would have a value and somewhere about fifty
Speaker 11: i'd reckon for a little invitation and what's the other item.
Speaker 21: In a program for that with the mean new.
Speaker 11: Oh the program and all as well. Oh okay, well
Speaker 11: if that's the case, maybe one hundred and fifty because
Speaker 11: it's a very venerable company. Of course, Santa Mac they
Speaker 11: did those wonderful wonderful.
Speaker 8: Well lady the street during business.
Speaker 11: And every every place in Melbourne who lived.
Speaker 9: There, but not only that wreck They actually it would
Speaker 9: be impossible to do now because I've got a couple
Speaker 9: of them.
Speaker 8: They list everyone's address.
Speaker 19: They do no privacy at all.
Speaker 11: Yeah, say you've got you live in Hannover Street. As
Speaker 11: an example, they give number three is George Flanders, numbers
Speaker 11: five is Talie Brown, number seven exactly everybody's everybody's names
Speaker 11: in there. Although I did notice in one of the
Speaker 11: ones that I saw, and I think it was in Fitzroy,
Speaker 11: it said number five Chinese. That's all it said Chinese,
Speaker 11: different times.
Speaker 8: Thank you, thank you, Marion. This is Nicoles. Who's who's

Speaker 8: I'm not sure. I'm not sure if it's actually a
Speaker 8: functioning restaurant that you can just go in and book.

Speaker 25: not sure on that point.
Speaker 8: But yeah, the company was love I won't name everyone
Speaker 8: who was there because for the life of me, I'll
Speaker 8: forget someone and I'll upset someone.

Speaker 25: I believe.
Speaker 8: Yeah, well it was. It was lovely, lovely, little chats
Speaker 8: about phil and memories of him. I told the story

Speaker 8: It's a delicate subject.
Speaker 9: I know now that you're in your sixties.
Speaker 16: Ah.
Speaker 8: Yes, you have to.
Speaker 9: Think about what comes after, It's true. And so you

Speaker 9: No, no, no, but still got a lot of hope
Speaker 9: and life in you.
Speaker 8: Hope is the big boy. The Bing Crosby Appreciation Society,
Speaker 8: the Frank Sinatra Appreciation Society, and now the Philip Brady
Speaker 8: Appreciation Society.
Speaker 25: Yes, of course, three good clubs that you remember of, Yes, yes,
Speaker 25: or shall we move on to Is there anything else
Speaker 25: you've done? I just liked to mention that the Crosby
Speaker 25: Society meeting on Tuesday night at the Collingwood Library, which
Speaker 25: is next to the Collingwood Town Hall, and they're running
Speaker 25: the Road to Rio with Bing Crosby and Bob Hope.
Speaker 25: And that starts at seven point thirty at the at
Speaker 25: the library. And I'm not sure if I'll be there yet,
Speaker 25: but yeh we'll see here we.
Speaker 8: Go, alrighty, So now it's time to move on too.
Speaker 17: Yes, now, I remember when it's time for who died?
Speaker 25: Kevin Well with the greatest respect Brian Wilson, but every
Speaker 25: radio presenter in Australia has talked about Brian Wilson this
Speaker 25: week and played their favorite song. Yes, but he was
Speaker 25: eighty two. Now, Phil met him, didn't he.
Speaker 8: He did paid good money to meet him, for one
Speaker 8: hundred bucks, four hundred bucks to shake his head lead
Speaker 8: a spaced out old man and as he was well.
Speaker 8: I did see the Beach Boys at the palais.
Speaker 25: I saw Mike Love and there was a couple of
Speaker 25: his cousins there as well, so they sort of made
Speaker 25: up the Beach Boys show and that was good. But
Speaker 25: he was marvelous. Brian Wilson, a composer, a singer, a
Speaker 25: musician himself with all those great little rifts and things
Speaker 25: he put into the songs.
Speaker 9: Had a terrible home life, Yes, he did. All all
Speaker 9: the boys, the Wilson Boys. That's father was a bit
Speaker 9: of a case, wasn't he.
Speaker 25: Yes, Yes, they did have a bad childhood. The peak
Speaker 25: years were sixty two to sixty six.
Speaker 8: And his brother.
Speaker 25: When his brother Karl died, I think that might have
Speaker 25: had an effect on him, and he'd been sick for
Speaker 25: a while before he passed away.
Speaker 9: Are you right this?
Speaker 8: Yes, Sorry, it's just something Andrews said that gave me
Speaker 8: a bit of a fright, that's okay. Yes, when he
Speaker 8: referred to the father of the Wilson's is a bit
Speaker 8: of a case. I thought he was on.
Speaker 9: No, yeah, someone remember when no, no, a little fright.
Speaker 8: That's also just giggling quietly to myself.
Speaker 25: So the sand passing in Brian Wilson, and they certainly
Speaker 25: made their mark, didn't they. I used to want the bandstand,
Speaker 25: they said, said the American.
Speaker 8: Clips on bands, didn't they?
Speaker 25: Yes, they'd have those striped shirts on and the surfboards out.
Speaker 25: But I don't think any of them ever went near
Speaker 25: the water.
Speaker 8: Now there was one who did surf, according to who
Speaker 8: was I talking to? Someone I was talking to he
Speaker 8: said that one of them did serve. Actually, one one
Speaker 8: could is.
Speaker 9: To bust my moves on the dance floor, to do
Speaker 9: it again by the beach boys.
Speaker 8: Have you got that there?
Speaker 9: Then? Have you got to do it again there by
Speaker 9: the beach boys, because I could bust my moves all
Speaker 9: over again hearing it.
Speaker 25: You know, cameras are on high administration.
Speaker 9: Everybody who has that facility, get to your station and
Speaker 9: get to.
Speaker 8: You Andrew only to do it again. Though I don't
Speaker 8: want me to help you of the year. I'm not
Speaker 8: that bad.

Speaker 25: Presley passed away in nineteen seventy seven, and I guess
Speaker 25: what was it? The sixteenth of August nineteen seventy seven.
Speaker 25: And I guess we all remember where we were when
Speaker 25: we got the news that Elvis had died.
Speaker 8: Because I was six and I didn't do I didn't
Speaker 8: know Elvis. But remember where where are you?
Speaker 9: Kevin?
Speaker 8: I was at work.
Speaker 25: I was working in Telstra or Telecom in those days,
Speaker 25: and I got a phone call and I was sitting
Speaker 25: at my desk and I'm still with you know, just

Speaker 25: You know, you're you don't seem to remove by the
Speaker 25: it's very soft hearted. I get too caught up emotional.
Speaker 9: Anyway, Elvis died, which was very sad and a bit
Speaker 9: of a shock because I don't think very few all
Speaker 9: in Australia, very few people knew that he was ailing.
Speaker 9: Really he was well.
Speaker 25: He was very sick, wasn't he on all sorts of medications.
Speaker 25: He lost the interest in recording around about nineteen seventy six.
Speaker 25: RCA used to drive a truck out to the Gracelands
Speaker 25: and set it all the recording studio up so he
Speaker 25: didn't have to go anywhere.
Speaker 8: Just do the songs.
Speaker 25: But he sort of, I don't know, things had gone
Speaker 25: bad with Priscilla and his daughter.
Speaker 8: And things like that. He lost his mojo.
Speaker 25: He lost his mojo and unfortunately he passed away. And
Speaker 25: we're going to listen to the news report in just
Speaker 25: a second. But you know, he lived at Graceland and
Speaker 25: was found at Graceland by Joe Espsido. What is it
Speaker 25: I think found him in the bathroom.
Speaker 8: Yeah, he was want to be Yeah the Memphis Maffi,
Speaker 8: wasn't it.
Speaker 14: Yeah?
Speaker 25: Yeah, so Elvis himself. I loved Elvis. I still, even
Speaker 25: though the movies are really bad. I like to see
Speaker 25: the songs, and it's couple.
Speaker 8: Of the movies are good.
Speaker 25: There's a couple of Elvis Presley memories that are good.
Speaker 25: But he'll be around for a long long time. And
Speaker 25: I'd love to go to Graceland. Either of you been
Speaker 25: to Graceland.
Speaker 8: No, I haven't known.
Speaker 9: Well, I've been there, but he was still alive. So
Speaker 9: I just I just stood outside south of gates. Did
Speaker 9: you see him?
Speaker 8: No, people were waiting around.
Speaker 9: Apparently he had been out earlier in the morning, if
Speaker 9: the car had come out, and a few of the people.
Speaker 8: They just people were just standing.
Speaker 9: Here for an hour after hour waiting to see over.
Speaker 8: Yeah. Yes, there are always people at the front apparently always.
Speaker 8: Oh what a life. Yes, yeah, Oh, well that's great.
Speaker 25: So let's go to the news report in nineteen seventy
Speaker 25: seven on the passing of Elvis Presley.
Speaker 28: Well, everything has happened to me so fast in the last.
Speaker 29: Year and a half till I'm.
Speaker 22: All mixed up, you know, I mean, I can't keep believe.
Speaker 8: Everything is happening.
Speaker 7: Any news.
Speaker 28: Elvis Presley suddenly dies in Memphis. I'm Anne, Marie Dear.
Speaker 28: The King of rock and roll. Forty two year old
Speaker 28: Elvis Presley suddenly died of what doctors believe was respiratory
Speaker 28: failure this afternoon. Anita Help has a complete report from
Speaker 28: the Baptist Hospital in Memphis.
Speaker 30: Probably several hundred people in front of Baptist's Hospital. They
Speaker 30: all can't believe that Elvis Presley, the King of rock
Speaker 30: and roll, is dead, has reported from Maurice Elliott's vice
Speaker 30: president of administration for Baptist Hospitals, and Elvis's road manager.
Speaker 30: Joe Spizito, found Elvis in his bedrooms at two thirty
Speaker 30: this afternoon, unconscious. Midreds Posito reported that he's found no
Speaker 30: vital times at the time, but he immediately began resuscitation
Speaker 30: efforts and the Memphis Fire Department ambulance was called. Resuppitation
Speaker 30: empts were continued. He arrived at the hospital about three
Speaker 30: o'clock this afternoon, and Baptist's Hospital's Special Harvey Team, a
Speaker 30: special team of emergency resuscitation experts, began work on Elvis's body.
Speaker 14: Their efforts were futile.
Speaker 30: After about thirty minutes. Doctor George Mecompolis, Elvis's personal position
Speaker 30: for many years, pronounced Elvis Presley dead.
Speaker 8: Wow. I've never heard the full report like that before.
Speaker 8: You haven't nice?
Speaker 25: This is you imagine the shock throughout the world. Yeah,
Speaker 25: I say, you'd say, yeah, sure?
Speaker 8: Are you sure? My next my next door neighbors were
Speaker 8: very big Golfer's Presley fans. They used to play a
Speaker 8: lot of his music, so they would have been very upset.
Speaker 8: I'm just I'm a bit too young to really remember it.
Speaker 9: I'm saying I know someone who you know him to.
Speaker 9: His first name is Don, who has all the Elvis
Speaker 9: Son original forty fives. He recorded five records for Son
Speaker 9: and Don has the five, which would be worth a
Speaker 9: fair old bit, wouldn't they He has to be worth.
Speaker 8: Should tell Rick Milan about that?
Speaker 14: Yeah?
Speaker 9: Yeah, I think Rick was in his day when he
Speaker 9: did collect records. I think he had the five too,
Speaker 9: but he sold them since then.
Speaker 8: Okay maybe so yeah. Quick quiz time, Kevin, Here we go.
Speaker 19: Boys.
Speaker 25: Who played the role of Carla, the Little Dutch girl
Speaker 25: in the TV series The Sullivans. Was it a Danny Minogue,
Speaker 25: B Tina Arena, C Kylie Minogue or d Sigrid Thornton.
Speaker 8: Little Carla? Okay, I'm gonna go just like go first, certainly,
Speaker 8: I'm thinking I don't recall Danny and Tina ever doing
Speaker 8: any acting, just myself, so that narrows it down to
Speaker 8: me to Kylie and Sigrid. But I'm sure Kylie's first
Speaker 8: role was in The Henderson Kids or something. So I'm
Speaker 8: going to go Sigared, I'm going to go d Sigrid Ben,
Speaker 8: I'm going to I disagree with Simon.
Speaker 18: I wonder if Tina Arenas actually done some acting, so
Speaker 18: I'm probably going to go Tina Arena.
Speaker 8: I'm going to go Tina too, Tina too, Tina too?
Speaker 8: What about Greg? Who's with us tonight? Greg?
Speaker 27: Any thoughts, I'm going to go Danny Minogue, even though
Speaker 27: you know that you don't think she acted.
Speaker 8: All right, So we've got Danny, Tina, and Cigarette and
Speaker 8: no one's gone Kylie. Yeah, all right, the answers, please, Kevin.
Speaker 25: The answers are locked in by our judges. There's no
Speaker 25: changing things now. No correspondence will be entered into. Of course,
Speaker 25: the it wasn't Danny Minogue. Greg, I'm terribly sorry. Not
Speaker 25: Danny Minogue. Was She's out. It wasn't Kylie, it wasn't
Speaker 25: it wasn't Tina Arena. It wasn't Tina. Okay, So there's
Speaker 25: been and Andrew just bite the dust and it wasn't
Speaker 25: Sigared Thornt.
Speaker 19: No, I.
Speaker 25: Can't believe this. Not one person has gone for Kylie Minou.
Speaker 25: She did might have started out the head of some kids,
Speaker 25: but in the Sullivan she had this role which ran
Speaker 25: for a couple of weeks. Okay, I never knew Carla
Speaker 25: the little Dutch girl.
Speaker 8: Yeah, because I only think of Kylie's Neighbors. Yeah, she
Speaker 8: was in what was that on sky Ways?
Speaker 25: She had at roll in that too, Yes, yes she had.
Speaker 8: She did all the little bits, little bits and pieces.
Speaker 8: Neighbors was the big one. But yeah, yeah, lots of
Speaker 8: little acting roles before. She still acts every so often
Speaker 8: because she did like a Doctor Who episode about fifteen
Speaker 8: years ago. I think, yes, every so often. Yeah.
Speaker 25: She made a number of films.
Speaker 8: And did a film with Dwayne the Rock Johnson. I'm
Speaker 8: pretty sure as well.
Speaker 25: She did yeah in Queensland. Yes, so there. All right,
Speaker 25: So I don't go and congratulate anybody, because nobody.
Speaker 9: Got it right.
Speaker 8: There is no single brain cell among any of us.
Speaker 8: We all missed that one. All right, Let's let's do
Speaker 8: television in nineteen seventy seven, before the break, Kevin.
Speaker 25: We were watching things like cup Shop, The Sweeney, the
Speaker 25: dick Emery Show, a Little House on the Schmaltz which
Speaker 25: was very popular, George and Mill, Hildred Bell Bird, and
Speaker 25: of course the Don Lane Show. And I thought the
Speaker 25: Don Lane Show was just fantastic. I thought Don was
Speaker 25: great and we're very lucky to have him as a
Speaker 25: copy of that show.
Speaker 8: And they got big names on that show.
Speaker 25: Dean Martin was on one night on a link on
Speaker 25: a TV link.
Speaker 9: Yeah, Charlton Heston, Bob Hope and yeah, big big overseas names.
Speaker 8: There is a guy who's putting up episodes of the
Speaker 8: Don Lane Show on YouTube. I don't know where he's
Speaker 8: getting them from, but they're going up there. So get
Speaker 8: onto YouTube. You can see full Don Lane Show episodes
Speaker 8: now wonderful.
Speaker 25: Well, of course, at this time, Burt and Patty Newton
Speaker 25: were doing the album The Famous Album, which is a
Speaker 25: record I've got one at home, yeah where thousands of
Speaker 25: Now I would imagine.
Speaker 8: I've got one as well. So we're both rich, we're
Speaker 8: both yes, Andrew common as buck.
Speaker 25: But from the this the album, they did this song
Speaker 25: on The Don Lane Show and I think it's it's
Speaker 25: Love and Marriage by Bert Newton and Patty Newton.
Speaker 8: Do you remember the night we decided to get married?
Speaker 31: Oh?
Speaker 7: Yes, We're on b deck, sailing.
Speaker 8: Into the night, two US class tickets on the Manly Very.
Speaker 14: The moon was high.
Speaker 32: What a proposal, pat Black, I have enough courage to
Speaker 32: ask me.
Speaker 14: I don't burst.
Speaker 32: Try try, try to separate lens. It's an illusion.
Speaker 26: Try charge, try, and he will.
Speaker 19: Only come.
Speaker 14: To this conclusion.
Speaker 33: Love and reach, Love and reach goats again, like the
Speaker 33: horse and carriage that was told by bye, you can't
Speaker 33: have one, you can't have none.
Speaker 7: You can't have one without me.
Speaker 8: That is good to hear their voice, isn't it isn't wonderful.
Speaker 25: I don't think they're both good singers.
Speaker 9: Yeah, in Burt in his own way, very theatrical, but
Speaker 9: it was good. I like you.
Speaker 8: I like him who died in nine in semblyn.
Speaker 25: Who seventy seven.
Speaker 8: That's that's the question we will be answering. Yeah exactly, Kevin, Yeah,
Speaker 8: you've made a mistake. According to Grant Brown, what did
Speaker 8: I say? This is how closely people pay attention?
Speaker 25: Is it the vice president Grant Brown, the vice president.
Speaker 8: Of the Coffee Club. It is, Oh, this will be important,
Speaker 8: and he has let us know. If we went back
Speaker 8: to the end of last week's episode when Kevin talks
Speaker 8: about what year are we doing next? Yes, I know
Speaker 8: what he's going to say. Kevin said he was going
Speaker 8: to be doing nineteen seventy, so now it's under pressure,
Speaker 8: and yet here we are doing seventy seven.
Speaker 25: Yes, he's quite right because he never misses what we're
Speaker 25: going to do. Wow, order to happen, Kevin, you don't
Speaker 25: get to be vice president of the Philip Brady Coffee Club.
Speaker 25: You're going to be pretty smart.
Speaker 9: So what where was the gum up in the works?
Speaker 8: Why explain why?
Speaker 25: I think I just might have a little bit of
Speaker 25: a fog came across the brain. I had seconds to
Speaker 25: say it, and no one asked me what we're doing
Speaker 25: next week? And I just threw in a year that
Speaker 25: was all the us.
Speaker 8: Well with Grant there clearly has a very good memory
Speaker 8: and a very good numbers man and all of the
Speaker 8: good man man. When you when you upset the president
Speaker 8: and you're the vice president, I think I'm the president
Speaker 8: of the president. That's what I'm saying. You're the president
Speaker 8: and the vice president's having a crack at you. I
Speaker 8: think his vice presidency might be short lived. I'm going
Speaker 8: to try and sort of come turbulent waters here. Let's
Speaker 8: just move on, will we come on?
Speaker 9: Set settle both of these.
Speaker 8: Okay, this is the teacher.
Speaker 9: Simon that temper. Don't let it go, mate, Fine who
Speaker 9: died in seventy seven.
Speaker 25: Well, quite a few, Charlie Chaplin, Gammo Marx passed away.
Speaker 25: Oh yes, Joan Crawford, Richard Carlson, who was in it,
Speaker 25: came from out of space. We took and met him
Speaker 25: a few weeks ago. Bing Crosby passed away. And Groucho
Speaker 25: Marx he was eighty six when he died in nineteen
Speaker 25: seventy seven.
Speaker 8: So Gummo and Groucher both eys in the same year.
Speaker 14: Yeah.
Speaker 25: It's strange, isn't it? But anyhow, I love Groucher. There's
Speaker 25: a lot of things he said that you could never
Speaker 25: say on radio. But he was a funny man. And
Speaker 25: one of the things he did say is anyone can
Speaker 25: get old. All you have to do is live long enough.
Speaker 25: But he was in thirteen feature films, and he created
Speaker 25: that character with the painted on mustache and the cigar
Speaker 25: and the breast coat and all the things that he
Speaker 25: did to make that character work.
Speaker 8: You know how the painted on mustache happened? No, when
Speaker 8: originally he used to put on he used to glue
Speaker 8: on a fake mustache when he was doing the show,
Speaker 8: the stage shows this was, and one day he was
Speaker 8: just running so late. He arrived as the curtain was
Speaker 8: going up. So he's just got some grease paint and
Speaker 8: just smeared it across his lip to put on a
Speaker 8: false mustache. And he thought, oh, that's actually easier, So
Speaker 8: that's what he did from that point on. Fun works. Well, yeah,
Speaker 8: funny man, it was all cause because he was late.
Speaker 25: They made thirteen feature films, those brothers, the Marx Brothers,
Speaker 25: and he had a TV show called You Bet Your Life.
Speaker 25: We're gonna have a little bit of that now, and
Speaker 25: he's got as on the contestants, two young Australians who'd
Speaker 25: left Sydney to break into show business in America, and
Speaker 25: they got the big, big break by being on the show.
Speaker 25: And they finished up in an episode of Star Trek.
Speaker 25: And I'm talking about the Guard Twins. And they were
Speaker 25: country and western country and western singers and they're both
Speaker 25: gone to God now, but they were terrific I did
Speaker 25: an interview with him and it was terrific to talk

Speaker 15: It's a common way. It's something you see every day.
Speaker 15: Ted and Tom la Guard the quadruplets.
Speaker 22: Twins.
Speaker 15: I thought so because you're both wearing the same kind
Speaker 15: of neckties where your boys firm. Well, I went from
Speaker 15: Mackay and North Queensland, Australia.
Speaker 12: Is that the real McCoy?
Speaker 15: A lot of people call it and a lot of
Speaker 15: people call it mafie. If the scunner, why you said

Speaker 15: were kissing your wife or squeezing your sister in law.
Speaker 8: Good old Groucho is only good.
Speaker 9: Yeah.
Speaker 8: He was very quick witted, yes, which suited that format,
Speaker 8: which was why he was offered that show because Groucho
Speaker 8: had done other stuff before. But the producer who wanted
Speaker 8: him to do that show, Graucho said no, I'm not
Speaker 8: interested at all, And he said, but that's where you
Speaker 8: can add lib and it will really work for you.
Speaker 8: So he was sort of reluctantly did it and ended
Speaker 8: up loving doing it.
Speaker 9: Yeah, for years two At America. Peter Finch started in
Speaker 9: seventy seven.
Speaker 25: Sixty only sixty. I know Heed he like a drop
Speaker 25: of the turps and he was. Yeah, he had a
Speaker 25: pretty heavy life and he actually fought in the Second
Speaker 25: World War. He was a good all around. A film
Speaker 25: met him and had a photo taken with him, and
Speaker 25: he worked with Dian Cilento, the wife of Sean Connery,
Speaker 25: in a film. And I spoke to Diane Silento about
Speaker 25: her memories of Peter Finch. In nineteen fifty five you
Speaker 25: did Passage Home with Peter Finch, I think the first
Speaker 25: film you did with Peter Finch, and of course Peter
Speaker 25: Finch being in Australian and working in radio and then
Speaker 25: making them move and there's a great photo of you
Speaker 25: and Peter Finch together. I noticed in the book the
Speaker 25: other day, and what was Peter Finch? What do your
Speaker 25: memories of Peter Finch?
Speaker 20: I adored Peter, who was actually at that time heavily
Speaker 20: involved in having an affair with Vivian Lee, so he
Speaker 20: was sort of brother occupied in the evenings. He used
Speaker 20: to come back completely tired from being up in Stratford
Speaker 20: and sort of well, I don't know quite conducting this
Speaker 20: extraordinary affair that he had. But he was incredibly protective
Speaker 20: of me, and because I was just starting and he
Speaker 20: was really I just loved him. He was just so nice.
Speaker 20: I mean, he taught me all sorts of interesting mad things, right.
Speaker 20: He taught me to sand fly dance with aborigin you do.
Speaker 20: We used to do that in the bar at the
Speaker 20: Pinewood Studios. On the mind boggles, all sorts of mad
Speaker 20: things like that.
Speaker 9: Wonderful, wonderful, They are toying Peter Finch. And but that
Speaker 9: did a lot of bed hopping, didn't they? In Hollywood
Speaker 9: and in the film industry, they're hearing who he was
Speaker 9: engaged with, shall we say, Kevin, Yes, it's a world
Speaker 9: I didn't quite experience into radio. Then it became endemic, Yeah,
Speaker 9: of course, yes, it became out of control. Actually, at
Speaker 9: one point we all were just so many beds, so
Speaker 9: much hopping, it was ridiculous.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 9: And I know you were involved in some of some
Speaker 9: of the heaviest bed hopping I've ever seen.
Speaker 8: Well, I don't like to talk about it or brag.
Speaker 8: They called you the mattress. Yeah. Anyway, moving on, Kevin.

Speaker 9: I remember it well. It was the first of the
Speaker 9: year I had my first pepper steak.
Speaker 8: Oh is that right? Yes, I remember well, I was
Speaker 8: being born. Well, actually I don't remember that bit well,
Speaker 8: but probably a good thing exactly.
Speaker 9: But for those who remember, the pepper steak was a
Speaker 9: very big item on seventies menus.
Speaker 8: Okay, nice, all right, you've run out of stuff to say.
Speaker 8: I'm I'm just conscious of the fact that we've got
Speaker 8: a guest waiting, so he should get to a break
Speaker 8: and get to him. Yes, good idea. Hey, this is
Speaker 8: kind of important.
Speaker 9: I like this. Someone contacted you a couple of days ago,
Speaker 9: didn't they. They did about something that's been found and
Speaker 9: handed into the National Film and Sound Archives.
Speaker 8: Yes, now, Simon Smith joins us. He is an occasional
Speaker 8: contributor to the program through his work at the National
Speaker 8: Film and Sound Archive. When he uncovers stuff that he
Speaker 8: thinks is possibly of interest to our audience, he always
Speaker 8: reaches out and we say, yes, let's have a chat
Speaker 8: about it. So welcome to you. Simon Smith from the
Speaker 8: National Film and Sound Archive.
Speaker 24: Good evening, Simon, and good evening, Andrew, and thanks having
Speaker 24: me on.
Speaker 8: Fantastic it's a pleasure. As Bruce used to say, Now,
Speaker 8: what exactly is your title before we get into this, Simon,
Speaker 8: what's your title at the National Film and Sound Archive?
Speaker 24: Jee, Well, look, it's curated, but I probably preck the
Speaker 24: arkivast to be honest. Yeah, just because you know, one
Speaker 24: of my main roles is working in our collections area,
Speaker 24: which means ensuring that you know, we keep building the
Speaker 24: collection and acquiring more and more things for the NFSA's collection.
Speaker 24: And that can be film or television, that can be radio,
Speaker 24: it can be music. Sometimes it's even games and all
Speaker 24: sorts of digital objects. So yeah, it's quite as an
Speaker 24: enormous collection as you know, Simon, and Andrew and I
Speaker 24: think it's four million items in counting, and it's a
Speaker 24: very dynamic collection of things old and you are coming
Speaker 24: in all the time.
Speaker 9: Well added to it of just recent times.
Speaker 8: Is this night's show?
Speaker 9: No, is this marvelous bit of footage of Melbourne sporting history.
Speaker 24: Tell us about it, Simon, Yes, Andrew, Look, it's really
Speaker 24: exciting for us because you know, there are so many
Speaker 24: people who just love the football and I love a
Speaker 24: football find with the best of them. And what we've
Speaker 24: recently been able to digitize, which was something from our collection,
Speaker 24: is the second half of the nineteen sixty four VFL
Speaker 24: Ground and Final. Now, of course, this is one of
Speaker 24: the most famous Grand Finals of the sixties. It was
Speaker 24: Melbourne versus Collingwood. It was a thriller, the lead changed
Speaker 24: a few times in the last quarter. But all we
Speaker 24: had previously, Chaps, was a nineteen minute newsreel compilation which
Speaker 24: had added a post sync sound, which means that the
Speaker 24: commentary was added afterwards. It's effectively filmed silently, So when
Speaker 24: you watch that footage, which has been around for a
Speaker 24: long time, and I know that it's on YouTube, you
Speaker 24: can fairly widely see it. It doesn't really capture the
Speaker 24: excitement of the game. It's all a bit you know,
Speaker 24: this is what happens, you know, sort of the afterwards
Speaker 24: commentary of it. But when we came across the actual
Speaker 24: television broadcast footage of it was so exciting because of
Speaker 24: course you get to hear Tony Charlston Don Hyde. I
Speaker 24: managed to track down Don Hyde. He's still alive and well,
Speaker 24: if I can say he's ninety four now. He remembered,
Speaker 24: you know, the game, of course, and he was very
Speaker 24: good friends with Tony Charlton, who's been gone for some
Speaker 24: time now. But also commentating on that game was a
Speaker 24: former VFL football as there was Jim Taylor, Jeff Leak
Speaker 24: of course, the gentle giant from Essendon, and the very
Speaker 24: opinionated Ian Cleveland who was a former umpire and was
Speaker 24: never short of an opinion on the game. You can
Speaker 24: hear him commentating as well. So what we have is
Speaker 24: that the last sixty four minutes, the entire second half
Speaker 24: of the sixty four Grand Final that we hadn't seen
Speaker 24: or heard before in this way. And of course, as
Speaker 24: I said, you know, towards the end of the game,
Speaker 24: you've got two of the most famous goals in VFL
Speaker 24: nineteen sixties footy history, of course, and that's the great
Speaker 24: Gabbo's rum and Ray Gablich was the captain of Collingwood
Speaker 24: at the time, and he gets the ball and there's
Speaker 24: no one between him and the goals, with about forty
Speaker 24: to fifty meters in front of him, so of course
Speaker 24: he famously bounces the ball three times. It's very wayward
Speaker 24: goes all over the place. He eventually manages to retrieve
Speaker 24: the ball on the last bounce and kicks it through. Now,
Speaker 24: the guys, you know, I love football history, and when
Speaker 24: I was looking into the research of this game, I
Speaker 24: didn't realize that, you know, Gabo hadn't he kicked two
Speaker 24: goals for the entire season, and both of those goals
Speaker 24: are in the last quarter of the Grand Final, right,
Speaker 24: astonishing captain Collingwood, But he hadn't kicked a goal for
Speaker 24: the whole year, and then he kicked two in five
Speaker 24: minutes in the last quarter, so absolutely, you know, the
Speaker 24: classic definition of the captain's goal. And of course Collingwood
Speaker 24: had been thrashed by the Demons two weeks earlier by
Speaker 24: fifteen goals, so Collingwood was the absolute underdog in the
Speaker 24: sixty four Grand Final. So here it was, we're deep
Speaker 24: into time on and it looks like the Pies might
Speaker 24: actually pinch it. But sure enough, near the hero of
Speaker 24: the game, and the hero of the Demons really the
Speaker 24: nineteen sixties to some degree, was Neil Crompton, and he
Speaker 24: was a back pocket player. Now, like Gabbo, he didn't
Speaker 24: kick a goal for the entire year. He hadn't kicked
Speaker 24: a goal for the previous two years, and he didn't
Speaker 24: kick a goal for the next two years, but he
Speaker 24: managed to be in the forward line of the Demon's
Speaker 24: forward line following his man. The ball just fell to him.
Speaker 24: He snapped it, kicked a goal, it went through and yeah,
Speaker 24: it was a truly a wonder snap. This was the
Speaker 24: only goal he kicked in five years, but it won
Speaker 24: the flag for the Demons. There was no further score,
Speaker 24: or there was a couple more points, but there was
Speaker 24: no further goals for the rest of the game. And
Speaker 24: so this was really the end of an era for
Speaker 24: Melbourne Football club. You know, they dominated the previous previous
Speaker 24: and it turned out to be Ron Brassey's last game
Speaker 24: because of course, in nineteen sixty five he went to Carlton,
Speaker 24: which of course is a massive, massive story for those
Speaker 24: who remember that. I mean, he was the captain of
Speaker 24: Melbourne and captains didn't usually leave, you know, successful teams
Speaker 24: to go to another team. But he went to Carlton
Speaker 24: and Melbourne coach Norm Smith was sacked i think the
Speaker 24: following year, and really Melbourne didn't recover for a huge
Speaker 24: amount of time after that, and of course you know
Speaker 24: that they went through a very long, barren period before
Speaker 24: eventually winning the flag. I think it was twenty twenty
Speaker 24: one against the Bulldogs. That's the pot of history.
Speaker 12: Really.
Speaker 8: Yeah, that's fascinating. And this has turned up.
Speaker 9: This has come from a former Channel line technician. Is
Speaker 9: that right, Simon?
Speaker 24: Yeah, that's right, Andrew it did you know? I can
Speaker 24: say his name was Jeff Kilburn. For those who may
Speaker 24: know Jeff, he worked at Channel nine for a long
Speaker 24: time and he ended up at Channel ken after that.
Speaker 24: And Jeff was at GTV from nineteen fifty eight to
Speaker 24: nineteen seventy four, so at some point he's acquired these films.
Speaker 24: Now he's no longer alive, and I did speak to
Speaker 24: one of his daughters who wasn't sure why or how
Speaker 24: he'd sort of acquired these films. But what's funny, Andrew
Speaker 24: and Simon, is that supposedly Jeff hated the footy, and
Speaker 24: in fact GTV and probably HSV seven as well, they
Speaker 24: were deliberately put on staff to do the football coverage
Speaker 24: who couldn't stand or just didn't like football because they
Speaker 24: found that, you know that the technicians and the staff
Speaker 24: who were really into their footy would get a bit
Speaker 24: caught up in it and maybe forget to do their
Speaker 24: job a bit. Yes, so they ensured that they had
Speaker 24: people who weren't super into football who were the people
Speaker 24: who worked on those broadcasts.
Speaker 9: However, it's quite amazing, isn't it, and Jeff, people wouldn't
Speaker 9: understand these because so much money has paid for the
Speaker 9: rights to forty But all four stations seven, nine and
Speaker 9: two were covering football in nineteen sixty four.
Speaker 24: That's right, Andrew. It was a really unusual situation. You know,
Speaker 24: as many people know, television commencement in Australia in nineteen
Speaker 24: fifty six and by round one nineteen fifty seven VFL
Speaker 24: football was being broadcast and interestingly, guys for the first
Speaker 24: four years of football coverage, so from nineteen fifty seven
Speaker 24: to nineteen sixty the last quarter would be shown live
Speaker 24: of select games on both seven and nine. But what
Speaker 24: they found was that as a television licenses were going
Speaker 24: up as they were being more and more acquired by
Speaker 24: Australians Melburnians, it was actually affecting that the crowd figures
Speaker 24: at the games, and so you know, the clubs were
Speaker 24: watching smaller and smaller crowds going because people could listen
Speaker 24: to the first three quarters of the game and then
Speaker 24: watch the last quarterlive on seven or nine in those
Speaker 24: early days. So it came to a head in nineteen
Speaker 24: sixty one. Sixty one is the really bad year for
Speaker 24: VFL football coverage. That was when the VFL said, forget it,
Speaker 24: We're not doing a live last quarter anymore. And there's
Speaker 24: also no replays, so it was a real nineteen sixty
Speaker 24: one was a really barren year for football lovers on television.
Speaker 24: And then in nineteen sixty two they VFL relented because
Speaker 24: there was obviously quite an outcry that you know, people
Speaker 24: couldn't watch the footy anymore, even on replay, and so
Speaker 24: that restarted in nineteen sixty two, and so we then
Speaker 24: moved forward to nineteen sixty four and the VFL Grand
Speaker 24: Final we're talking about here. By that stage, as you said, Andrew,
Speaker 24: you know, it was a real rarity. You had seventy nine,
Speaker 24: the ABC and Channel O, which of course is now
Speaker 24: known as Channel ten, all covered. They all had cameras
Speaker 24: at the ground in sixty four, but there was no
Speaker 24: footage that survived from any of those from those networks
Speaker 24: of the game until now. And this is the Channel
Speaker 24: nine footage of the second half of the sixty four
Speaker 24: Grand Final.
Speaker 8: It is fantastic, what a great discovery, and what a
Speaker 8: great when I say great, great to have a Grand
Speaker 8: Final and the footage come to light, but great that
Speaker 8: it also contained such amazing features as you've just described
Speaker 8: to us, Simon, where do people go if they want
Speaker 8: to have a look at this and the article the
Speaker 8: great article you've written about it.
Speaker 24: Oh, thanks very much, Yes, Simon, Yes, look if they'd
Speaker 24: like to go to our website, which is NFSA dot
Speaker 24: gov dot au. That's the National Film and Sound Archives website.
Speaker 24: It's on our front page there. As you said, there's
Speaker 24: an article there, and we've put together a highlights package
Speaker 24: of the third quarter and the last quarters. I think
Speaker 24: the third quarter we've got about eight minutes of highlights
Speaker 24: and the last quarter is about eleven minutes. To be honest, guys,
Speaker 24: the second half, I think only six goals are kicked
Speaker 24: in the entire second half. It was a pretty blustery day,
Speaker 24: so conditions weren't great. There's a pretty tough game and
Speaker 24: of course close with some famous goals, so you get
Speaker 24: to see all of those, and yeah, hopefully people will
Speaker 24: go to our site and enjoy what they can see.
Speaker 9: All and glorious black and white. Thank you so much.
Speaker 9: Simon Argivis with the National Film and Sound Archive, do
Speaker 9: appreciate your calling in.

Speaker 9: emerged the wind screen, which had obviously come out of
Speaker 9: a window.
Speaker 8: Mountain speaker.
Speaker 9: Oh well, scary you remember those things. I think you
Speaker 9: might have been just a kid too at the time. Yeah, one,
Speaker 9: level three, six nine three, and I was expecting I
Speaker 9: was really expecting drivings to come back. This is from
Speaker 9: Jaden after the COVID pandemic.
Speaker 8: During and after the COVID Oh yeah, social distancing someone
Speaker 8: I never thought of it. Let's go to the movies,
Speaker 8: to go to the driving. It should could have could
Speaker 8: have happened, but didn't, but good thought. Well mate, thank
Speaker 8: you Jaden. Karen's in Altona Meadows.
Speaker 23: Hello Karen, hi Angel silent taking year seventeen. My husband
Speaker 23: and I used to go to the Trec Road when
Speaker 23: I think it was in Treck and we'll do it
Speaker 23: maybe and it was fantastic.
Speaker 21: I mean it's super.
Speaker 23: First one we saw was ey either, which is good.
Speaker 11: And I can't remember that.
Speaker 23: I used to the chicka rolls and I think they
Speaker 23: were hot doughnuts actually, and chips that you used to get.
Speaker 9: Yes, yes, it was always the hot cuisine. Wasn't there
Speaker 9: the drive in?
Speaker 8: Yeah, well I mentioned before Karen. I went to the
Speaker 8: one Turner Trash and Treasure market and they still have
Speaker 8: the projectionists booth there with the canteen is still there.
Speaker 8: And I have to say the food was marvelous. Was
Speaker 8: the hot chips were amazing. They also did hot potato
Speaker 8: sweet potato chips burgers if you want them, and the
Speaker 8: food was really good. My memory, well, no, I did.
Speaker 9: I can't agree, not as what I used to go
Speaker 9: to drivers there seemed to be the worst food and
Speaker 9: it always was in the steel trays which were illuminated
Speaker 9: by the sort of yellowy orange light that it used
Speaker 9: to be over the food, and it gave them sort
Speaker 9: of an almost sort of a nuclear glow to the
Speaker 9: treats that were under the lines. Anyone remember that, but
Speaker 9: that always seemed to be the horrible, well to me,
Speaker 9: a horrible color that the.
Speaker 8: Food was presented to. Yes, thanks Karen Leann's in Minneapello, Leanne.
Speaker 22: Hi, Andrew Simon, Greg and Ben. I remember going to
Speaker 22: matt Preville Driving which is in Sydney, and I was
Speaker 22: about four or five, and Mum used to say, want
Speaker 22: me to go to sleep in the back see because
Speaker 22: they were watching the movie We Had Down, We Head Down.
Speaker 22: But the one thing I remember the most was the
Speaker 22: banana fritters with ice cream. They were phenomenal. And the
Speaker 22: swing set like the one in Greece used to sit
Speaker 22: there at kiddies playground area, wasn't there, Yeah, but the
Speaker 22: banana fred is and ice cream fantastic.
Speaker 8: You've you've just mentioned Leanne that like the playground like
Speaker 8: the one in Greece. Yes. John Travolta sings that song
Speaker 8: Yeah Sandy because she's throwing the ring back at him.
Speaker 8: When he tried to get a bit fresh and yeah,
Speaker 8: and he walks along and sits on the swing. I
Speaker 8: remember that I'd forgotten that scene.
Speaker 11: M hmm.
Speaker 22: Yeah, yeah, that's the good one. That's my memory of Mattreville,
Speaker 22: which is no longer there, of course.
Speaker 8: No, of course, yes, it's a sad pity.
Speaker 9: But as I said before we were talking with David,
Speaker 9: wasn't it, yes, killed that the land that those drivings
Speaker 9: was on has become so expensive.
Speaker 8: Yeah, so the rates would be would be paid. They
Speaker 8: were exactly right, Thank you, Leanne.
Speaker 27: My.
Speaker 8: I've been to the drive in a couple of times,
Speaker 8: but I only remember to movies that I definitely saw
Speaker 8: at the drive in. One was Ghostbusters in the nineteen eighties,
Speaker 8: and that was just sort of a special treat to
Speaker 8: go to a driving because it was it was something
Speaker 8: you don't do anymore, so we'll do it as a
Speaker 8: special treat. But I remember as a kid going with
Speaker 8: my next door neighbors to see Herbie Gohes Bananas. Yes, yes,
Speaker 8: one of those movies about that Volkswagen that develops a personality.
Speaker 9: Yeah, well this is a big Disney movie, wasn't it.
Speaker 8: Yeah, there was a couple of those, Herbie.
Speaker 9: Slightly a few months older than you as I am. Yes,
Speaker 9: the main thing I remember going to the driving and
Speaker 9: seeing was rock and shock shows, where you'd see a
Speaker 9: horror movie with a rock movie. Yeah, so, and be
Speaker 9: on till about two o'clock in the morning, and half
Speaker 9: the time you'd be half asleep watching it.
Speaker 8: Your doze off.
Speaker 9: Eventually, YESLI was, oh, oh, the movie is twenty minutes
Speaker 9: on and you know into the movie that you hadn't realized.
Speaker 8: I just had another thought. No, I remember taking the
Speaker 8: kids as an experience. So we had a Ford Falcon
Speaker 8: station wagon and we had rear facing seats in the
Speaker 8: in the back because we had were a family of
Speaker 8: six and a station wagon only seats five, so we
Speaker 8: got rear mounted seats looking out the back door. And
Speaker 8: I thought, this will be great. We'll go to the
Speaker 8: drive in that will reverse into the spot and the
Speaker 8: kids can sit in the back and we lift the
Speaker 8: boot and they watch the movie. Great idea, What a
Speaker 8: brilliant idea of mine. I'm very proud of that idea.
Speaker 8: Of course, we get there and the seats are back
Speaker 8: a bit in the car and when you pop the
Speaker 8: boot it only goes up to roof level, so it's
Speaker 8: the line of sight is completely and utterly below the screen.
Speaker 8: You could not see a thing. What was the little
Speaker 8: speakers you hooked onto the window.
Speaker 9: That sort of problem with the with case there were
Speaker 9: there were inherent problems in drive in viewing with it.
Speaker 8: Drivings are really only good for two people to go
Speaker 8: to them movies. The other time we went, I took
Speaker 8: the kids to see Madagascar. By then we had a
Speaker 8: little four wheel drive thing that had a sunroof, and
Speaker 8: so we popped the sunroof and the kids stood up
Speaker 8: on the back seat and looked out the sunroof. So
Speaker 8: we sat in the front and watched the movie. They
Speaker 8: stood up and it was great.
Speaker 11: They loved that.
Speaker 8: That was quite unique.
Speaker 9: There we go.
Speaker 8: Now we better get to a break. We've got Mervin
Speaker 8: Purvis coming up very shortly after that. Tony McManus will
Speaker 8: join us to tell us what's coming up on Australia Overnight.

Speaker 38: You're no longer working at a rock and roll radio station,
Speaker 38: Andrew churning out the hits.
Speaker 9: Coke zero old man is out there, isn't it.
Speaker 38: They're not at fourteen twenty two anymore.
Speaker 9: I never was. I never did rock and roll.
Speaker 8: And also Andrew, the man who will often say, just
Speaker 8: before I leave, are you're going to replash the chocolates
Speaker 8: before you go? It doesn't, but just the one and
Speaker 8: can you put them in a bowl? You've just said
Speaker 8: that on paper town. I can't be stuff going down
Speaker 8: to the other kitchen to get a bowl time I
Speaker 8: come into it.
Speaker 38: Still disgrace the culture. There's joints just deteriorating as we speak.
Speaker 8: You're lucky there's paper towel there.
Speaker 38: But they're beautifully presented, you know, little pieces of chocolate
Speaker 38: which we are almost grateful, and.
Speaker 9: Oh, very grateful.
Speaker 8: I've had five tonight.
Speaker 38: Well I heard you mention that, but I think you
Speaker 38: know it's all about you know, when food is presented
Speaker 38: to you at a restaurant, it's the food's got to
Speaker 38: be really good, but it's how it looks on the plate.
Speaker 9: Oh yeah, my wife, it doesn't worry me that much,
Speaker 9: but Joanne becomes obsessed with that presentation.
Speaker 38: Presentation is very very important. It's a bit like grooming yourself.
Speaker 9: To me, it does matter. A roast meal was just
Speaker 9: served like the lamb with the potato on top and
Speaker 9: the beans on top of that.
Speaker 8: That's fine.
Speaker 9: I wouldn't worry about it at all.
Speaker 8: Do you like big plates with little meals?
Speaker 38: I love bleak plates with very very tiny porsche.
Speaker 8: I can't.
Speaker 38: The restaurant they do that very tiny porsche.
Speaker 8: You're going to give me that plate, give me some
Speaker 8: food to put on.
Speaker 38: I think it's about it's about a sense of elegance. Yeah,
Speaker 38: an understatement.
Speaker 8: We're very different people, haven't we. Frankly I am as
Speaker 8: common as I really.
