53
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:12,800

57
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:29,840
Speaker 4: ninety two, Kerry Packer famously called his own station and

58
00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:33,840
Speaker 4: demanded in a few choice words, the show be taken

59
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:37,480
Speaker 4: off the air immediately, which it was never to be

60
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:40,840
