Speaker 2: flying head butt. Two for one, Jack who came to

24
00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:07,920
Speaker 2: talk at your school because it was a big deal

25
00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:11,240
Speaker 2: when anyone from the world of entertainment or sport or

26
00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:13,840
Speaker 2: whatever it was came to do a special kind of

27
00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:15,120
Speaker 2: motivational pump.

28
00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:18,319
Speaker 4: Up spec when celebrity descends on a normal public caschool.

29
00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:22,280

30
00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:25,720
Speaker 2: Take everyone back to Murdon and Big Brother.

31
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:29,520
Speaker 4: He created such a live TV moment in Australian history.

32
00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:31,880
Speaker 4: He came out of the Big Brother House, which was

33
00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:35,400
Speaker 4: always live. Gretel Colleen, hosting the show, would talk to

34
00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:36,640
Speaker 4: the Big Brother contestant about it.

35
00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:39,000
Speaker 2: This is where that show used to be huge all

36
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:42,240
Speaker 2: over the world. Right that live eviction night. Everyone in

37
00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:44,440
Speaker 2: the UK would watch it and imagine the same here.

38
00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:45,720
Speaker 2: Because you didn't sing TV like.

39
00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:50,800
Speaker 4: That was unmissible viewing. And during live TV Merlin ripped

40
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:52,520
Speaker 4: out a piece of his T shirt and he had

41
00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:54,800
Speaker 4: a sign hidden in there that said free the Refugees.

42
00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:57,720
Speaker 4: He put tape over his mouth and didn't speak for

43
00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:02,320
Speaker 4: the entirety of the show, and Clean sat there trying

44
00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:03,840
Speaker 4: to coax him to talk.

45
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:15,720
Speaker 1: Have a listen to this, Merlin, Merlin, everybody sit down

46
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:18,520
Speaker 1: and be quiet.

47
00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:19,480
Speaker 4: Merlin.

48
00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:24,000
Speaker 1: Can I ask you a simple mathematical question. This segment

49
00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:27,200
Speaker 1: is five minutes. Are you going to speak at all?

50
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:29,679
Speaker 2: Now? I do educate me.

51
00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:31,280
Speaker 4: I don't think did she swear?

52
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:35,200
Speaker 2: And that mathematical equation why she dropped like an F

53
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:38,000
Speaker 2: for more. Don't work out what she said though. I mean,

54
00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:40,600
Speaker 2: obviously she's going to be getting really irritated. The producers

55
00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:43,200
Speaker 2: are going he has to talk this.

56
00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:43,560
Speaker 6: No.

57
00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:45,560
Speaker 4: I think the sense of must have come from.

58
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:48,880
Speaker 2: An audience, right, Okay, So Morning came to your school.

00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:30,560
Speaker 2: And it wasn't like doing other stations, it was just ours.

93
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:33,320
Speaker 2: I couln't believe that, you know, you would never have that. Now,

Speaker 7: This was nineteen eighty five. I was in year right.

105
00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:59,000
Speaker 7: But the best part was there was a swarm of

106
00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:03,400
Speaker 7: efforts behind him, and I took the opportunity. I managed

107
00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:06,839
Speaker 7: not to hell of his head and he turned around

108
00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:09,839
Speaker 7: to yell at whoever did it, and they say his

109
00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:12,240
Speaker 7: face is laughing at him, and he didn't know who

110
00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:13,680
Speaker 7: it was, so I got away with it.

111
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:19,279

00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:37,240
Speaker 4: at that time.

121
00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:39,479
Speaker 2: You reckon. They couldn't afford to get Molly talking. So

138
00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:31,919
Speaker 2: the hem's worth of singing. They should have. There are

139
00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:34,600
Speaker 2: multiverse that. I didn't know what was he good? Did

140
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:36,520
Speaker 2: he sing? Ah?

141
00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:40,320
Speaker 6: Yes? So he was going to sing for us a

142
00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:42,919
Speaker 6: song by Ed Sheerance, but I'm not quite sure what

143
00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:51,600
Speaker 6: happened because he ended up singing raw by Katy Perrye.

144
00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:56,000
Speaker 2: This is not one of his own songs, though.

145
00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:02,400
Speaker 6: I don't think he had any of his own songs.

146
00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:04,040
Speaker 6: It was mostly just like other people's.

147
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:06,800
Speaker 2: Was asking the kids any chance you could write me?

148
