Speaker 1: color TV in the corner, especially one with a remote. Now, okay,

00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:42,240
Speaker 1: a lot of people would have said.

42
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:46,640
Speaker 3: This the Kings. I just polished the lips.

Speaker 1: of the West to any late news that didn't make

50
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:02,760

Speaker 1: he became the president and a landslide victory over Jimmy Carter.

58
00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:21,040
Speaker 2: Andnny ray Gunns.

59
00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:22,359
Speaker 3: So weird Nancy.

60
00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:26,120
Speaker 1: And despite the widespread widespread ball a boycott at least

61
00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:28,680
Speaker 1: of the Moscow Olympics, a seventeen year old kid from

62
00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:32,480

00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:34,440
Speaker 1: in the four by one hundred meters swim team. Really

64
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:37,359
Speaker 1: just incredible. Yeah, and I think Norman May nearly did

65
00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:38,320
Speaker 1: a hernio that they.

66
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:40,760
Speaker 2: Like the mean Machine or something like that first.

67
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:42,720
Speaker 1: The very first meme machine. Yeah, yeah, and there were

68
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:45,600
Speaker 1: other swimmers who joined the Meme Machine later. Nineteen eighty

69
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:47,840
Speaker 1: our prime Minister was Malcolm Fraser. Sir Charles Court was

70
00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:50,680
Speaker 1: WA premier at the time. His son Richard was thirty

71
00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:53,320
Speaker 1: three and was only thirteen years away from claiming the

72
00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:55,320
Speaker 1: job himself. It's quite so I didn't keep it all

73
00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:58,000
Speaker 1: in the family. Our population in Australia was fourteen point

74
00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:00,440
Speaker 1: seven million in nineteen eighty, yeah, so I will be

75
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:03,400
Speaker 1: around about double that by twenty thirty, doesn't that long.

76
00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:06,400
Speaker 1: A block of land in Kingsley was fourteen thousand dollars.

77
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:09,239
Speaker 1: The same block would be around six hundred k today

78
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:11,079
Speaker 1: if you want to get it, not easy to get.

79
00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:13,720
Speaker 1: Our biggest name in tennis was a super cool Swede

80
00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:18,760
Speaker 1: beyond Borg. With that, Maad band Che lost his call.

81
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:21,800
Speaker 1: The loudest voice in the game was either John McEnroe

82
00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:24,760
Speaker 1: or Jimmy Connors, depending upon which of the American stars

83
00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:27,000
Speaker 1: was having a bad day, a bad set, a bad game,

84
00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:27,640
Speaker 1: or a bad point.

85
00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:28,800
Speaker 2: It cannot be serious.

86
00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:30,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, and Conners was pretty loud too with it. He

87
00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:33,440
Speaker 1: was more importantly, despite a year of illness and injury,

88
00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:36,640
Speaker 1: the incredible Evon Guligon Carley won the Wimbledon title, beating

89
00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:37,680
Speaker 1: Chris Everitt Lloyd.

90
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:38,040
Speaker 3: In straight sets.

91
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:38,840
Speaker 2: That was amazing.

92
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:40,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was the battle of the hyphens.

93
00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:43,920
Speaker 1: At the movies in nineteen eighty six, symbol Bo, Derek

94
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:47,400
Speaker 1: and Dudley Moore scored a hit with ten Yes, the

95
00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:49,400
Speaker 1: Perfect ten. Well, she didn't get the oscar that went

96
00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:51,680
Speaker 1: to Meryl Street for Kramer versus Kramer, but Bo got

97
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:54,200
Speaker 1: plenty of publicity in the movie made him one hundred

98
00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:56,640
Speaker 1: over one hundred million buckst some five or six million

99
00:03:56,680 --> 00:03:58,280
Speaker 1: to make Yes one needable.

100
00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:02,880
Speaker 2: Balinese girls of platidve million plats and was running.

101
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:05,360
Speaker 1: Down the Beach and Dudley Being Silly and for Yeah

102
00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:07,440
Speaker 1: and our feature album This Morning from nineteen eighty is

103
00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:09,560
Speaker 1: En yeatam on Dada, the third album from that trio

104
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:13,200
Speaker 1: Bottle Bonds the Police ripper This on I was written

105
00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:15,920
Speaker 1: during the band's second tour. They had limited time, so

106
00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:18,360
Speaker 1: they recorded in just four weeks, and drummer Stuart Copeland

107
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:20,080
Speaker 1: has since admitted, look, we've bit off more than we

108
00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:23,000
Speaker 1: could chew to be honest. They finished the recording of

109
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:25,279
Speaker 1: the album at four am on the first day of

110
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:28,200
Speaker 1: the next world tour, so no rest of no rest

111
00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:29,520
Speaker 1: for a hot band. You've got to get back on

112
00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:31,760
Speaker 1: the road. And despite the rush, there were some incredible

113
00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:33,880
Speaker 1: songs that hit singles. Don't Stand So Close to Me,

114
00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:36,839
Speaker 1: the Do Do Dooda Da Da was a ripper, the

115
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:40,200
Speaker 1: frenetic when the world is running down, the bouncy Canary

116
00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:40,719
Speaker 1: in a coal.

117
00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:43,520
Speaker 2: Mine, and.

118
00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:48,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, so clear the Canary and it was, and the

00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:59,080
Speaker 1: in the UK reached number five and in the US

123
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:02,800
Speaker 1: it's sold over three million copies. I bought one of

124
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:06,200
Speaker 1: those copies from seventy eight Records Inky Street, after catching
