And that's why she was here 0:03:47.920 --> 0:03:49.960 with Frank. And that the only reason why she came 0:03:50.000 --> 0:03:50.560 out with Frank. 0:03:50.680 --> 0:03:51.000 I don't know. 0:03:51.040 --> 0:03:52.840 They might have been out here to practice the limbo. 0:03:52.960 --> 0:03:54.080 I wasn't exactly sure. 0:03:55.160 --> 0:03:57.360 Judges guests, celebrity judges. 0:03:57.880 --> 0:04:00.440 Yeah, so you could have should have kept that rear up. 0:04:00.480 --> 0:04:02.280 He would much better than teaching. 0:04:02.560 --> 0:04:05.320 Just stop talking about it.

You played opposite Milton Burle and 0:04:39.120 --> 0:04:44.640 ethel Merman. Ethel Merman played the mother from Hell, one 0:04:44.680 --> 0:04:48.960 of my favorite classic films. It's a Mad, Mad, Mad 0:04:49.080 --> 0:04:52.080 Mad world You played the daughter, and I think Dick 0:04:52.160 --> 0:04:53.200 Sewan played your brother. 0:04:53.760 --> 0:04:54.479 What's your daughter? 0:04:55.120 --> 0:04:55.520 What was it? 0:04:55.600 --> 0:04:57.000 What were your memories of that one. 0:04:58.360 --> 0:04:58.560 Chair? 0:04:58.839 --> 0:05:04.320 That's the chair? Well, first of always wear desert and 0:05:04.800 --> 0:05:07.880 uh for I didn't, I don't even remember how long. 0:05:09.000 --> 0:05:12.360 And it was very hot and I'm not supposed to 0:05:12.360 --> 0:05:13.839 go out in the sun. I got such a pale 0:05:13.880 --> 0:05:16.359 skin and everything that that was a problem. 0:05:17.240 --> 0:05:17.400 Uh. 0:05:19.839 --> 0:05:25.080 A bunch of mad people, really, I liked. I liked everyone. 0:05:25.640 --> 0:05:30.400 They were all funny, but they all would come to 0:05:30.480 --> 0:05:33.239 me and tell me how everybody else was doing something wrong, 0:05:33.320 --> 0:05:36.360 but they were they had it right. And I don't 0:05:36.400 --> 0:05:39.640 know why they came to me, But Milton would come 0:05:39.839 --> 0:05:46.080 and you know, different ways. It was very strange. They 0:05:46.160 --> 0:05:48.960 were competitive, but then I must say a nice way. 0:05:49.080 --> 0:05:51.080 No one really got mad or angry or anything. 0:06:00.560 --> 0:06:03.040 But she was terrific, wasn't she very pretty girl? Yes? 0:06:03.160 --> 0:06:06.120 And I remember it quite fondly. Not that she was 0:06:06.160 --> 0:06:08.919 a huge star, but she did make any imistration. 0:06:09.120 --> 0:06:11.440 Yes, And I reckon Ethel Murman would have stirred up 0:06:11.480 --> 0:06:13.560 that cast because she was pretty tough, the old Ethel. 0:06:14.040 --> 0:06:19.480 Yes, she was tough. Yes, absolutely quick Quiz time, Kevin Quick, 0:06:19.560 --> 0:06:21.719 Quiz boys, Okay, are you ready? Yes. 0:06:22.400 --> 0:06:26.080 Gun Smoke was a popular television series or western in 0:06:26.200 --> 0:06:30.640 nineteen sixty three. It starred James RNs as Marshall Matt Dillon. 0:06:31.720 --> 0:06:34.320 What was the name of the town where the series 0:06:34.440 --> 0:06:41.520 was set. Was it A Dodge City, B, Tombstone, C, 0:06:42.440 --> 0:06:49.040 Virginia City or D Santa Fe? Where was the series 0:06:49.160 --> 0:06:51.720 Gun Smoke sets in that town that they were in 0:06:52.000 --> 0:06:54.680 throughout the whole series for about ten seasons or something. 0:06:56.040 --> 0:06:58.320 Well, I have no idea because I am too young 0:06:58.440 --> 0:06:58.960 to remember. 0:06:59.279 --> 0:07:03.440 I'm going to say my guess, Santa Fe. I think 0:07:03.480 --> 0:07:05.960 it's the Western Fielder, Like, I don't really know the 0:07:06.000 --> 0:07:08.400 answer at all. I saw the show a couple of 0:07:08.440 --> 0:07:09.240 times there was Ben it. 0:07:10.000 --> 0:07:10.560 I watched it all. 0:07:11.280 --> 0:07:11.440 I know. 0:07:11.440 --> 0:07:15.440 It was a hugely popular show. Remember, and mister Dylon, 0:07:15.520 --> 0:07:21.960 let's go to I'm leaning toward Tombstone. Sound sort of cartoony, 0:07:22.040 --> 0:07:26.240 and I just I'm going to agree with Simon on 0:07:26.320 --> 0:07:29.400 Tombstone because I just think it's a great name in town, 0:07:29.600 --> 0:07:32.520 and especially for a series like there was another TV 0:07:32.640 --> 0:07:35.200 series called Tombstone Territory. 0:07:37.600 --> 0:07:40.240 Of Moonstone Territory. 0:07:41.040 --> 0:07:45.240 Up back where I want to be. 0:07:47.120 --> 0:07:47.440 That was it. 0:07:47.640 --> 0:07:49.240 So I don't think you're going to be right, because 0:07:49.240 --> 0:07:49.800 they wouldn't have to. 0:07:54.440 --> 0:07:55.880 Anything is possible in Hollywood. 0:07:56.280 --> 0:07:58.240 Well, I'm going to leave it locked. 0:08:00.680 --> 0:08:01.920 I've been overruled. 0:08:02.200 --> 0:08:03.200 All right, we're ready. 0:08:03.440 --> 0:08:06.120 So Ben and I are both going Tombstone. Andrew's going 0:08:06.200 --> 0:08:06.680 Santa Fe. 0:08:07.000 --> 0:08:13.760 Okay, Well it wasn't Virginia City, so that one was wrong. Sadly, Andrew, 0:08:13.800 --> 0:08:18.200 it wasn't Santa Fe and Simon and Ben, I had 0:08:18.240 --> 0:08:21.200 to break this news to you. But it wasn't Too Stone, 0:08:21.680 --> 0:08:22.800 so no one got it. 0:08:23.120 --> 0:08:25.320 It was Dodge City. Dodge City. 0:08:26.520 --> 0:08:28.640 A lot of things happened in Dodge see that's right. 0:08:29.600 --> 0:08:32.720 And later on, of course, it became famous for making cars. 0:08:33.000 --> 0:08:35.199 Yes, of course, as you do. 0:08:36.120 --> 0:08:39.480 Wonderful Now television should we get into television? 0:08:39.520 --> 0:08:43.199 In nineteen sixty three on TV in nineteen sixty three, 0:08:43.280 --> 0:08:46.120 we were watching the Danny Thomas Show, which was originally 0:08:46.240 --> 0:08:48.400 Make Room for Daddy, and then they changed the title 0:08:48.640 --> 0:08:50.760 and then they changed the cast and it was on 0:08:50.960 --> 0:08:54.160 ABC Television and it starred Danny Thomas, so they called 0:08:54.200 --> 0:08:57.120 it the Danny Thomas Show, the new series smart Move. 0:08:57.320 --> 0:08:59.560 It was it's hard to write out the lead actor. 0:08:59.640 --> 0:09:02.559 Then, Yeah, I was all filmed in black and white, 0:09:03.040 --> 0:09:06.920 and he made a deal with Desilu's Studios to film 0:09:06.960 --> 0:09:09.440 it there, which was the same studio as they used 0:09:09.559 --> 0:09:12.160 for I Love Lucy with the three cameras and the 0:09:12.480 --> 0:09:21.040 terrific filming. Marjorie Lawrence was Marjorie Lawrence. Marjorie Lord Lord. Yeah, 0:09:21.080 --> 0:09:23.400 Marjorie Lord was the one who played the wife in 0:09:23.520 --> 0:09:29.200 the show, Danny's wife. Yes, and Marjorie Lord died around 0:09:29.240 --> 0:09:31.920 about twenty fifteen at the age of ninety seven, but 0:09:32.240 --> 0:09:36.560 prior to that I spoke to her a little difficult Thomas. 0:09:37.360 --> 0:09:42.640 It is starring Danny Thomas, also starring Marjorie or And 0:09:42.720 --> 0:09:48.560 as his wife, Rusty Hammer and their son and John Cartwright. 0:09:48.120 --> 0:09:48.800 As their daughter. 0:09:49.559 --> 0:09:51.400 Well, you mentioned some of the guests you had on 0:09:51.559 --> 0:09:54.199 that program, Marjorie, and I'd just like to touch on 0:09:54.280 --> 0:09:56.599 a couple like Lucy or Ball and Desi Arnaires. You 0:09:56.679 --> 0:09:58.640 had a lot, well, you appeared on their show and 0:09:58.920 --> 0:10:01.120 there was quite a bit of direction with those too. 0:10:01.200 --> 0:10:03.440 And one of your memories of Lucy o'bull and Dizzy on. 0:10:03.640 --> 0:10:06.839 Is well I wrote about that a little bit in 0:10:06.920 --> 0:10:12.640 my book. And Desi was quite brilliant that people didn't 0:10:12.679 --> 0:10:17.199 realize that he really ran that Desilu studio. And I 0:10:17.440 --> 0:10:19.599 was impressed that when he would rehearse the scene the 0:10:19.640 --> 0:10:22.640 first time, you know, he had quite an accent, but 0:10:23.040 --> 0:10:25.360 he never had to repeat it, and he'd come back 0:10:26.200 --> 0:10:28.600 to do a second rehearsal, he'd know all the lines. 0:10:28.640 --> 0:10:32.319 He never looked at the script. Lucy was the opposite. 0:10:32.440 --> 0:10:36.240 She wanted to rehearse and rehearse and rehearse, and we did. 0:10:37.320 --> 0:10:40.040 She liked to go over things, but she was brilliant. 0:10:40.120 --> 0:10:43.880 She knew where every camera and where the house would 0:10:43.880 --> 0:10:46.959 be lit, and how to move and when she was 0:10:47.040 --> 0:10:49.240 with it, Daddy, you know, kind of let her make 0:10:49.280 --> 0:10:54.720 all the decisions. She wanted to make Lucy was quite 0:10:54.800 --> 0:10:58.520 serious in her personal life. She could be so funny, 0:10:59.200 --> 0:11:01.959 but sometimes she'd be very open and friendly, and other 0:11:02.040 --> 0:11:04.520 times she seemed to be preoccupied. 0:11:05.360 --> 0:11:08.840 But she was a great artist, wonderful. 0:11:09.040 --> 0:11:12.440 I loved Lucille Ball.

Everything. 0:14:51.400 --> 0:14:53.480 I watched the Test bat and I never missed anything. 0:14:53.560 --> 0:14:55.920 A five year old Andrew would have been watching four 0:14:56.000 --> 0:14:58.800 Corners on the ABC or something like that, sitting back 0:14:58.840 --> 0:15:03.320 a smoking jackets, you know, with the watching Noel Coward plays, 0:15:03.480 --> 0:15:05.120 reading the Financial Review. 0:15:04.960 --> 0:15:08.280 That's all right, yeah, and discussing the equities of the world. 0:15:09.520 --> 0:15:15.200 Okay, checking out his share portfolio, right, that's but it 0:15:15.320 --> 0:15:15.520 was good. 0:15:15.560 --> 0:15:15.880 I love that. 0:15:15.920 --> 0:15:17.280 I thought that was really good. Good. 0:15:17.400 --> 0:15:18.200 Yeah. Should we take a. 0:15:18.200 --> 0:15:23.120 Break, I think so. We're in Trask's time tunnel and 0:15:23.200 --> 0:15:25.800 we're about to look at the shows of nineteen sixty three. 0:15:26.320 --> 0:15:28.680 Well, there's a new book out on Lee Gordon, who 0:15:28.800 --> 0:15:32.000 was the American producer who bought the Big Stars to Australia, 0:15:32.000 --> 0:15:35.680 and it's called Lee Gordon Presents by Jeff Apter and 0:15:35.760 --> 0:15:37.560 it's available in all Good books shops. 0:15:37.880 --> 0:15:39.400 Pete Smith told me about this book, and. 0:15:39.400 --> 0:15:40.560 I'm going to have to get a copy of it 0:15:40.640 --> 0:15:42.880 because I'm fascinated with all that because I was at 0:15:42.960 --> 0:15:45.880 all those shows. Yes, straight after the Tarrek show. I'd 0:15:45.920 --> 0:15:47.560 go straight down the Festival. 0:15:47.240 --> 0:15:49.520 Hall get your tickets. 0:15:50.120 --> 0:15:52.160 Tickets, he's going to be our guest on Sunday, the 0:15:52.280 --> 0:15:57.000 sixth of July. Remembering to talk about the book, Oh marvelous. 0:15:57.080 --> 0:15:59.120 Yeah, Oh that's true. I'm thrilled to bits to hear that. 0:16:00.040 --> 0:16:02.560 Of course, the Lee Gordon Big Shows was where Johnny 0:16:02.600 --> 0:16:06.000 O'Keeffe got his break and became famous. And I spoke 0:16:06.040 --> 0:16:10.040 to pee Weee Wilson from the Daltons about Johnny O'Keeffe. 0:16:11.520 --> 0:16:21.560 Ah, I'm counting. 0:16:28.240 --> 0:16:34.360 Ever since we met, Darling, I've been keeping school. 0:16:36.760 --> 0:16:38.960 It was a fabulous hero when you when you did 0:16:39.040 --> 0:16:42.720 those Lee Gordon shows. I can still see the Dltons 0:16:42.720 --> 0:16:45.040 and Johnny O'Keeffe on stage in my memory. But what 0:16:45.120 --> 0:16:46.840 are your memories of working with Johnny o'keef. 0:16:47.440 --> 0:16:51.280 Well, he was a most interesting character. Of course, as 0:16:51.360 --> 0:16:54.040 we're in hindsight we look back on his on his 0:16:54.680 --> 0:16:57.880 relatively short career, in the sense that he really was 0:16:57.960 --> 0:17:00.360 a dynamic performer. There was something that all of us 0:17:00.440 --> 0:17:03.280 in the in the up and coming artists in that 0:17:03.360 --> 0:17:06.480 early period, we're looking towards Johnny Keith as a mentor, 0:17:06.560 --> 0:17:10.040 and certainly he had a natural stagecraft. We never ever 0:17:10.160 --> 0:17:12.399 viewed him. Has been one of the great singers of 0:17:12.680 --> 0:17:15.479 of of the business, but certainly had all other those 0:17:15.480 --> 0:17:17.600 spects going in. The one thing that we all admired 0:17:17.600 --> 0:17:20.399 aboutbout him much was was his commitment to the business. 0:17:20.560 --> 0:17:56.280 Just today, work, just just I love pee Weee Wilson 0:17:56.800 --> 0:17:59.600 just adore me too. Yeah, I think it's again. 0:18:00.040 --> 0:18:01.639 That was a great interview you did with him a 0:18:01.680 --> 0:18:03.600 couple of months ago. Maybe it was last year. 0:18:03.760 --> 0:18:04.960 I think it was late last year. 0:18:05.440 --> 0:18:07.240 We'll have to get him on again here you will, 0:18:07.320 --> 0:18:09.159 because he's full of stories and he's terrific. 0:18:09.640 --> 0:18:12.280 Who tired in nineteen sixty three, KIV quite a few. 0:18:13.040 --> 0:18:21.560 Sabo sat on top of the Elephants. Oh yes, Zazu, Pits, 0:18:21.720 --> 0:18:25.840 Dick Powell, and Patsy Klein. Patsy Cline was killed in 0:18:26.040 --> 0:18:28.680 a plane crash in nineteen sixty three. 0:18:29.160 --> 0:18:30.679 She was at the peak of her career. 0:18:31.119 --> 0:18:33.760 She was a country singer. She had a lot of hits. 0:18:34.240 --> 0:18:39.840 She had a twang and her voice and a sober voice. Yeah, 0:18:40.400 --> 0:18:42.760 and I thought she was terrific. And I love this 0:18:42.960 --> 0:18:46.000 song by Patsy Cline, Crazy. 0:18:46.680 --> 0:19:05.920 Crazy, I am crazy for villain. Slowly crazy, crazy for feeling. 0:19:06.880 --> 0:19:14.640 So I love. 0:19:16.280 --> 0:19:25.880 You, love me as love as as you wanted.

Sorry, Andrew saying no, no, just. 0:20:11.240 --> 0:20:14.360 What I just should mention too in passing that when 0:20:14.400 --> 0:20:16.879 that plan crashed into the mountain, two other great country 0:20:16.920 --> 0:20:19.480 stars died in the plane with the hawkshaw Hawkins and 0:20:19.520 --> 0:20:20.400 Cowboy Cops. 0:20:21.119 --> 0:20:22.040 I didn't know that. 0:20:22.200 --> 0:20:24.639 Oh yeah, there were three of them lost to us 0:20:24.680 --> 0:20:28.040 that day. All right, mystery voice, this is the most 0:20:28.160 --> 0:20:29.480 challenging part for you. 0:20:30.440 --> 0:20:30.600 Really. 0:20:30.760 --> 0:20:32.200 I know you're worry about this from. 0:20:34.640 --> 0:20:37.119 You know it starts on a Sunday morning.

Well, we take a break before 0:20:47.160 --> 0:20:51.000 we get to it. It's mystery voice time. As Andrew 0:20:51.240 --> 0:20:54.200 was discussing just prior to the break, Kevin Trask is 0:20:54.280 --> 0:20:56.000 going to play us a mystery voice.
