The sixteenth of August nineteen seventy seven. 0:02:01.920 --> 0:02:05.360 And I guess we all remember where we were when 0:02:05.360 --> 0:02:07.400 we got the news that Elvis had died. 0:02:10.280 --> 0:02:13.360 Because I was six and I didn't do I didn't 0:02:13.400 --> 0:02:14.000 know Elvis. 0:02:14.680 --> 0:02:17.240 But remember where where are you? Kevin? 0:02:17.320 --> 0:02:19.360 I was at work. I was working in Telstra or 0:02:19.480 --> 0:02:22.120 Telecom in those days, and I got a phone call 0:02:22.160 --> 0:02:23.840 and I was sitting at my desk and I'm still 0:02:23.840 --> 0:02:26.040 with you know, just sitting at my desk, and I 0:02:26.080 --> 0:02:29.400 couldn't believe it. I could. I couldn't believe Are you sure? 0:02:29.600 --> 0:02:30.360 Are you sure? 0:02:30.600 --> 0:02:32.440 I got a telegram from Jillian Patterson? 0:02:32.760 --> 0:02:33.079 Did you? 0:02:33.240 --> 0:02:34.080 I just couldn't believe what. 0:02:34.120 --> 0:02:36.919 I opened that envelope at the front door. 0:02:37.680 --> 0:02:38.760 I just ab broke down. 0:02:40.320 --> 0:02:42.280 I will look at that's just the way is thist it? 0:02:42.440 --> 0:02:44.799 You know, you're you don't seem to remove by the 0:02:45.000 --> 0:02:47.959 it was a very soft hearted. I get too caught 0:02:48.040 --> 0:02:49.320 up with people emotional. 0:02:49.840 --> 0:02:52.360 Anyway, Elvis died, which was very sad and a bit 0:02:52.400 --> 0:02:54.359 of a shock because I don't think very few all 0:02:54.400 --> 0:02:57.320 in Australia, very few people knew that he was ailing. 0:02:57.680 --> 0:02:58.799 Really he was well. 0:02:58.800 --> 0:03:02.919 He was very sick, wasn't it. He's been on all 0:03:02.960 --> 0:03:08.000 sorts of medications. He lost the interest in recording around 0:03:08.080 --> 0:03:11.760 about nineteen seventy six. RCA used to drive a truck 0:03:11.760 --> 0:03:14.359 out to to Gracelands and set it all the recording 0:03:14.360 --> 0:03:16.720 studio up so he didn't have to go anywhere, just 0:03:16.760 --> 0:03:20.400 do the songs. But he sort of no, no, no, 0:03:21.200 --> 0:03:24.440 things had gone bad with Priscilla and his daughter and 0:03:24.480 --> 0:03:25.040 things like that. 0:03:25.280 --> 0:03:26.160 He lost his mojo. 0:03:26.520 --> 0:03:31.760 He lost his mojo and unfortunately he passed away. And 0:03:31.760 --> 0:03:33.680 we're going to listen to the news report in just 0:03:33.680 --> 0:03:37.120 a second.

Yeah, so Elvis himself. I loved Elvis. I still 0:03:50.520 --> 0:03:54.280 even though the movies are really bad. I like to 0:03:54.280 --> 0:03:57.480 see the songs, and couple of the movies are good. 0:03:57.920 --> 0:03:59.880 There's a couple of Elvis Presley memories that are good. 0:04:00.400 --> 0:04:03.280 But he'll be around for a long long time and 0:04:03.600 --> 0:04:05.440 very I'd love to go to Graceland. Have either of 0:04:05.480 --> 0:04:07.280 you been to Graceland? No, I haven't known. 0:04:07.520 --> 0:04:09.720 Well, I've been there, but he was still alive.

Anita Help has a complete 0:05:02.720 --> 0:05:04.680 report in the Baptist's Hospital in Memphis. 0:05:04.720 --> 0:05:07.560 There probably several hundred people in front of Baptist's Hospital. 0:05:08.400 --> 0:05:11.279 They all can't believe that Elvis Presley, the King of 0:05:11.320 --> 0:05:15.640 rock and roll, is dead, has reported from Maurice Elliott's 0:05:15.920 --> 0:05:19.640 vice president of administration for Baptist Hospitals, and Elvisi's road manager. 0:05:19.720 --> 0:05:23.839 Joe Spizito, found Elvis in his bedroom at two thirty 0:05:24.080 --> 0:05:28.159 this afternoon, unconscious midreds the Zito reported that he's found 0:05:28.160 --> 0:05:30.359 no vital signs at the time, but he immediately began 0:05:30.640 --> 0:05:34.920 resuscitation efforts and the Memphis Fire Department ambulance was called. 0:05:35.720 --> 0:05:39.279 Resubpitation in fort Worth continued. He arrived at the hospital 0:05:39.360 --> 0:05:43.800 about three o'clock this afternoon, and Baptist's Hospital's Special Harvey Team, 0:05:43.880 --> 0:05:47.159 a special team of emergency resuscitation experts, began work on 0:05:47.200 --> 0:05:51.680 Elvis's body. Their efforts were futile after about thirty minutes. 0:05:52.080 --> 0:05:57.120 Doctor George Mecopolis, Elvis's personal physition for many years, pronounced 0:05:57.480 --> 0:05:59.000 Elvis Presley was dead. 0:06:00.440 --> 0:06:04.920 I've never heard the full report like that before. You haven't, No, yes, yes, 0:06:05.200 --> 0:06:08.080 you imagine the shock throughout the world. Yeah, I say, 0:06:08.160 --> 0:06:10.039 you'd say, yeah, sure? Are you sure? 0:06:11.279 --> 0:06:13.880 My next my next door neighbors were very big Golf's 0:06:13.920 --> 0:06:16.400 Presley fans. They used to play a lot of his music, 0:06:16.920 --> 0:06:19.200 so they would have been very upset. I'm just I'm 0:06:19.320 --> 0:06:20.760 a bit too young to really remember it. 0:06:20.800 --> 0:06:23.279 I'm sad. I know someone who you know him to. 0:06:23.400 --> 0:06:27.280 His first name is Don, who has all the Elvis 0:06:27.560 --> 0:06:32.560 Son original forty fives. He recorded five records for Son 0:06:33.440 --> 0:06:36.960 and Don has the five, which would be worth a 0:06:37.000 --> 0:06:38.400 fair old bit, wouldn't they. 0:06:39.360 --> 0:06:42.560 Ye has to be worth should tell Rick Milnan about that? 0:06:43.040 --> 0:06:43.200 Yeah? 0:06:43.279 --> 0:06:46.240 Yeah, I think Rick was in his day when he 0:06:46.240 --> 0:06:48.920 did collect records. I think he had the five too, 0:06:49.279 --> 0:06:50.600 but he sold them since then. 0:06:50.720 --> 0:06:55.400 Okay maybe so yeah. 0:06:55.480 --> 0:06:57.960 Quick quiz time, Kevin, Here we go boys. 0:06:58.279 --> 0:07:01.839 Who played the role of car the little Dutch girl 0:07:02.240 --> 0:07:06.680 in the TV series The Sullivans. Was it a Danny Minogue, 0:07:07.279 --> 0:07:13.360 B Tina Arena, C Kylie Minogue or d Sigrid Thornton 0:07:16.840 --> 0:07:18.080 Little Carla? 0:07:18.960 --> 0:07:24.600 Okay, I'm gonna go just like go first, certainly, I'm 0:07:24.760 --> 0:07:28.320 thinking I don't recall Danny and Tina ever doing any acting, 0:07:29.240 --> 0:07:32.600 just myself, so that narrows it down to me to 0:07:32.720 --> 0:07:38.200 Kylie and Sigrid. But I'm sure Kylie's first role was 0:07:38.240 --> 0:07:40.400 in The Henderson Kids or something. So I'm going to 0:07:40.480 --> 0:07:43.000 go SIGRed, I'm going to go d Sigrid. 0:07:42.760 --> 0:07:47.679 Ben, I'm going to I disagree with Simon. I wonder 0:07:47.680 --> 0:07:50.480 if Tina Arenas actually done some acting, so I'm probably 0:07:50.480 --> 0:07:51.440 going to go Tina Arena. 0:07:51.440 --> 0:07:54.640 I'm going to go Tina too, Tina too, Tina too? 0:07:54.760 --> 0:07:57.960 What about Greg?

Yeah, all right, the answers, please, Kevin. 0:08:12.680 --> 0:08:15.400 The answers are locked in by our judges. There's no 0:08:15.520 --> 0:08:19.720 changing things now. No correspondence will be entered into. Of course, 0:08:20.120 --> 0:08:25.040 the it wasn't Danny Minogue. Greg, I'm terribly sorry. Not 0:08:25.160 --> 0:08:28.840 Danny Minogue.

She did 0:08:45.760 --> 0:08:47.240 might have started out the head of some kids, but 0:08:47.280 --> 0:08:49.400 in the Subtlemon she had this role which ran for 0:08:49.400 --> 0:08:50.120 a couple of weeks. 0:08:50.360 --> 0:08:53.880 Okay, I never knew Carla the little Dutch girl. 0:08:54.120 --> 0:08:59.400 Yeah, because I only think of Kylie's neighbors early. 0:09:00.040 --> 0:09:02.280 She was in what was that one?

Yeah, exactly, Kevin, Yeah, 0:12:16.320 --> 0:12:21.360 you've made a mistake. According to Grant Brown, what did 0:12:21.400 --> 0:12:24.160 I say? This is how closely people pay attention. 0:12:24.440 --> 0:12:27.080 Is it the vice president Grand Brown, the vice president 0:12:27.120 --> 0:12:29.560 of the coffee club? It is? This would be important 0:12:29.600 --> 0:12:30.679 and he has let us know. 0:12:31.240 --> 0:12:33.480 If we went back to the end of last week's 0:12:33.520 --> 0:12:36.320 episode when Kevin talks about what. 0:12:36.280 --> 0:12:38.240 Year are we doing next? Yes, I know what he's 0:12:38.280 --> 0:12:39.920 going to say. Kevin said he was going to be 0:12:39.960 --> 0:12:41.120 doing nineteen seventy, So. 0:12:41.240 --> 0:12:43.960 Now it's under pressure, and yet here we are doing 0:12:44.040 --> 0:12:44.800 seventy seven. 0:12:45.000 --> 0:12:47.560 Yes, he's quite right because he never misses what we're 0:12:47.600 --> 0:12:52.360 going to do. Wow. Order to happen, Kevin, you don't 0:12:52.400 --> 0:12:55.240 get to be vice president of the Philip Brady Coffee Club. 0:12:55.360 --> 0:12:56.559 You've got to be pretty smart. 0:12:57.160 --> 0:12:59.240 So what where was the gum up in the works? 0:12:59.640 --> 0:13:01.800 Why explain why? 0:13:02.120 --> 0:13:03.640 I think I just might have a little bit of 0:13:03.640 --> 0:13:07.840 a folk came across the brain. I had seconds to 0:13:07.880 --> 0:13:09.960 say it, and no one asked me what we're doing 0:13:10.000 --> 0:13:11.600 next week? And I just threw in a year. 0:13:11.679 --> 0:13:16.200 That was all the well with Grant there clearly has 0:13:16.240 --> 0:13:19.480 a very good memory and a very good numbers man 0:13:19.520 --> 0:13:22.400 and all of those. Good man, when you when you 0:13:22.520 --> 0:13:25.160 upset the president and you're the vice president. 0:13:25.760 --> 0:13:27.640 I think I'm the president of the president. 0:13:27.880 --> 0:13:29.800 That's what I'm saying, you're the president and the vice 0:13:29.840 --> 0:13:32.680 president's having a crack at you. I think his vice 0:13:32.720 --> 0:13:34.960 presidency might be short lived. I'm going to try and 0:13:35.040 --> 0:13:38.160 sort of become turbulent waters here. Let's just move on, 0:13:38.200 --> 0:13:44.720 will we come? Ontett, both of these teacher simon that temper. 0:13:45.000 --> 0:13:49.400 Don't let it go, mate, Fine who died in seventy seven. 0:13:49.559 --> 0:13:55.280 Well, quite a few, Charlie Chaplin, Gamo Marx passed away. 0:13:55.440 --> 0:14:00.520 Oh yes, Joan Crawford, Richard Carlson, who was in it 0:14:00.600 --> 0:14:02.320 came from out of space. We took and met him 0:14:02.320 --> 0:14:06.320 a few weeks ago. Bing Crosby passed away. And Groucho 0:14:06.480 --> 0:14:09.840 Marx he was eighty six when he died in nineteen 0:14:09.880 --> 0:14:10.839 seventy seven. 0:14:10.679 --> 0:14:12.760 So Gummo and Groucher both eys in. 0:14:12.760 --> 0:14:13.360 The same year. 0:14:13.480 --> 0:14:13.720 Yeah. 0:14:13.760 --> 0:14:18.320 It's strange, isn't it? But anyhow, I love Groucho. There's 0:14:18.360 --> 0:14:19.840 a lot of things he said that you could never 0:14:19.880 --> 0:14:22.480 say on radio. But he was a funny man. And 0:14:22.880 --> 0:14:24.640 one of the things he did say is anyone can 0:14:24.680 --> 0:14:27.280 get old. All you have to do is live long enough. 0:14:28.200 --> 0:14:31.920 But he was in thirteen feature films, and he created 0:14:31.960 --> 0:14:35.200 that character with the painted on mustache and the cigar 0:14:35.760 --> 0:14:38.880 and the dress coat and all the things that he 0:14:38.920 --> 0:14:40.920 did to make that character work. 0:14:40.960 --> 0:14:44.160 You know how the painted on mustache happened? No, when 0:14:44.800 --> 0:14:46.600 originally he used to put on he used to glue 0:14:46.600 --> 0:14:50.080 on a fake mustache when he was doing the show, 0:14:51.240 --> 0:14:53.640 the stage shows this was. And one day he was 0:14:53.680 --> 0:14:56.920 just running so late. He arrived as the curtain was 0:14:56.960 --> 0:14:59.440 going up. So he's just got some grease painting just 0:14:59.560 --> 0:15:04.560 smeared across his lip to put on a false mustache, 0:15:05.080 --> 0:15:07.760 and he thought, oh, that's actually easier, So that's what 0:15:07.800 --> 0:15:08.800 he did. From that point on. 0:15:09.040 --> 0:15:11.920 Fun works. Well, yeah, funny man, it was all cause 0:15:11.960 --> 0:15:15.800 because he was late. They made thirteen feature films, those brothers, 0:15:15.840 --> 0:15:18.600 the Marx Brothers, and he had a TV show called 0:15:18.600 --> 0:15:20.800 You Bet Your Life. We're gonna have a little bit 0:15:20.800 --> 0:15:23.600 of that now. And he's got as on the contestants, 0:15:23.960 --> 0:15:27.280 two young Australians who'd left Sydney to break into show 0:15:27.320 --> 0:15:29.760 business in America, and they got the big, big break 0:15:29.800 --> 0:15:32.240 by being on the show. And they finished up in 0:15:32.280 --> 0:15:35.040 an episode of Star Trek. And I'm talking about the 0:15:35.520 --> 0:15:38.600 guard Twins. And they were country and western country and 0:15:38.640 --> 0:15:42.640 western singers and they're both gone to God now, but 0:15:42.640 --> 0:15:44.880 they were terrific. I did an interview with him and 0:15:44.880 --> 0:15:47.960 it was terrific to talk to the Guard brothers as 0:15:47.960 --> 0:15:49.840 they spoke to Groucho Marx. 0:15:50.040 --> 0:15:52.080 We have a couple of brothers on deck now. They're 0:15:52.120 --> 0:15:54.800 Ted and Tom Laguard.

Yeah. 0:17:07.600 --> 0:17:11.600 He was very quick witted, yes, which suited that format, 0:17:11.600 --> 0:17:15.040 which was why he was offered that show because Groucho 0:17:15.119 --> 0:17:19.560 had done other stuff before. But the producer who wanted 0:17:19.600 --> 0:17:21.800 him to do that show, Graucho said no, I'm not 0:17:21.840 --> 0:17:23.879 interested at all, And he said, but that's where you 0:17:23.920 --> 0:17:26.679 can add lib and it will really work for you. 0:17:26.720 --> 0:17:29.000 So he was sort of reluctantly did it and ended 0:17:29.080 --> 0:17:29.760 up loving doing it. 0:17:29.840 --> 0:17:33.200 Yeah, than for years two at America.

A film 0:17:52.040 --> 0:17:54.720 met him and had a photo taken with him, and 0:17:55.280 --> 0:18:00.119 he worked with Diancelento, the wife of Sean Connery in 0:18:00.119 --> 0:18:05.720 a film and I spoke to Diane Salento about her 0:18:05.760 --> 0:18:09.680 memories of Peter Finch.

What do your memories of 0:18:25.280 --> 0:18:25.879 Peter Finch. 0:18:26.480 --> 0:18:31.760 I adored Peter, who was actually at that time heavily 0:18:31.880 --> 0:18:36.400 involved in having an affair with Vivian Lee, so he 0:18:36.480 --> 0:18:41.160 was sort of brother occupied in the evenings. He used 0:18:41.160 --> 0:18:45.040 to come back completely tired from being up in Stratford 0:18:45.800 --> 0:18:50.040 and sort of well, I don't know quite conducting this 0:18:51.080 --> 0:18:55.760 extraordinary affair that he had. But he was incredibly protective 0:18:55.800 --> 0:18:59.240 of me, and because I was just starting and he 0:18:59.400 --> 0:19:03.800 was real, I just loved him. He was just so nice. 0:19:04.240 --> 0:19:09.040 I mean, he taught me all sorts of interesting mad things, right. 0:19:09.440 --> 0:19:12.280 He taught me to sand fly dance as aborigin you do. 0:19:13.080 --> 0:19:15.240 We used to do that in the bar at the 0:19:15.400 --> 0:19:20.439 Pinewood Studios. On the mind boggles double, all sorts of 0:19:20.480 --> 0:19:21.400 mad things. 0:19:21.160 --> 0:19:25.280 Like that wonderful, wonderful they are Tooyan Peter Finch.

They're hearing who 0:19:32.320 --> 0:19:36.399 he was engaged with, shall we say, Kevin, It's a 0:19:36.440 --> 0:19:39.760 world I didn't quite experience and got into radio. 0:19:40.480 --> 0:19:45.040 Then it became endemic. Yeah, of course, it became well 0:19:45.119 --> 0:19:45.800 out of control. 0:19:46.160 --> 0:19:49.800 Actually, at one point we all were just so many beds, 0:19:49.880 --> 0:19:53.239 so much hopping, it was ridiculous.
