And this is Andrew MacLaren and have good to see you, Simon as always.

Yes, good to see you. How's your week been? And it's been good.

I'm gonna well, we've got a little theme sponsored theme coming up in a moment about what we've done of recent times.

Okay, yes, so should we get straight into that? Well, I think we should all right. Weekend Wrap years.

Three a w traffic thanks to tribute Females, compassionate crafted.

I meant to tell you guys here last week the credit was wrong. We should probably report that. That's supposed to say Weekend Wrap for whoever. But it's a traffic report credit that's been mislogged. The blind Factory, the blind Factory, Yes, thank you.

Thank you. That does remember when CHOI thank you so much. Good evening to you, Ben, Yes, she were off to a flying start here.

I'm still on overnight time with Patta.

I still think it's morning.

So the only ONOD who really hasn't missed up is Greg and he's the new guy. It's good.

But Ben gives so much to the station, doesn't he? I have his appreciated gives and gives and give.

He gives and gives for two whole days a week and then takes a five day weekend A.

Half days A good one. You're Ben, Good to see you and Greg too.

Anyway, so we're into the weekend. Rap, what did you get up? I was part of a.

Big poker game on five stakes, fairly high.

Do you wear a suit? We like Cuban cigars? No, it was nothing like that.

It was it was well, it was fair house cape and of course, remember when it does not approve of gambling, you understand that, so you know, gambling or drinking or anything.

Anything like that.

Any funny stuff either, No, none of that muck. But I lost forty six dollars at the end of the night.

We'll see. That's a night's entertaining. I looked at it that way.

I thought, you know, if I went out for a dinner and a show, well do a lot more than forty six bucks.

Did you eat food whilst you were there?

Two party piles?

Oh well, okay, yeah, that's not much. I was thinking like, if you had a steak and salad or something whilst you were there. And that's a bit fancy for a poker game. What have we had a bottle of veno?

Or did you? Or I love playing I love playing cards. I'm giving away a secret here with guys who drink as they become stupid at the table and they make mistakes.

They get to be braved.

Oh yes, and they become very careless with their money play playing against drunks or semi drugs is a delight, but you rarely find it okay.

So your friends drunk, so you were accused? No, because you lost so clearly they were sober as you are. They were What a boring party? What did you do during the week? I went to the films, I went to the movies theater. I went out to Baronia because I love the Baronia Cinema because it's an independently owned one and the guy who runs at Tom and his daughter.

A movie, saving the money by drawing the car.

Up the highway. It's more about supporting them than it is about saving money, because yeah, if I didn't drive all that distance and paid for a more expense cinema closer to home, i'd save time. But it's been roughly the same. But I like to support Baronia Cinema there.

This is the.

The human acting one with special effects for the alien. So it's a reboot of it, but done with real actors, and it's not as good. I'm sorry to say. Ah, yeah, I thought you were about to say.

Your face looked all hopeful and happy there.

Look it was nice. If I hadn't seen the original cartoon, I would have said this was a great movie, but they've changed one or two things in it that just didn't work, not to be politically correct. I hope, well, yeah, one of the mos. Yeah, I won't. I won't talk about it because it's the way the movie ends. But yeah, the fact that they change the end to be more politically correct actually infuriated me. Yeah, because you're not going

Oh you're looking at one right here. We've got happier things ahead, haven't. We had a very interesting late sort of addition to remember when the Sunday Night, and that is from the cinema and historical c cinemas. You've got the actual name of the company of the body. You talk about what we're doing after eleven?

Yes, So after eleven Simon Smith from the National Film and Sound Archive is going to join us because they've uncovered some new footage that will be of interest to people. So who's going to have a chat to us and tell us about that?

Yes, been hidden? I think of someone's garage sort of thing for sixty.

Years, which is where all the best finds come from. I can imagine wonderful stuff. So that's after eleven, Kevin Trask of that's what he're taking his way back to the seventies tonight, isn't it? Yes?

And also in a marment or two, speaking of things past and all that, we're going to be roaming around the old drive ins, aren't we.

We are with a man who knows all about that sort of stuff because he ran and owned a drive in cinema. Wow, So we'll chat to him after this. Located directly opposite the main gates of Forkner Cemetery are our friends at Cameo Memorials Andrew. They're always there and they always care.

They've been caring for a long time, setting memories in stone for entire generations of Melbourne families. It's way back back in the eighteen seventies, that's right.

They build monuments to individual needs and they respect your wishes because they know, like they just know what's good services.

So sure and how important all this too, especially the very sensitive time, vulnerable time in your life. Yes, they offer memorials, pluques, fountains, mantlepieces, they've got all sorts of styles. We go through this every week, but we should because they've got just about everything for anybody, just in case.

You haven't been listening for the last five years.

Asian, Jewish, Islamic Orthodox, they've even got for we Scots have even got a little kilts statues he little kilts they've got with two little legs coming down.

I was worried what you were we gonna say, no, no, no, the old what's worn under the kilt?

A large lesson of carve statues at all sizes are available too.

And if your monument and legs are looking a little on the run down side, Cameo Memorials can fix it. They restore and maintain memorials as well.

Yes, it's going to be tricky when Cameo do a statue of my in me and Mkilton the legs coming How will I get the blue veins in my legs?

Yes? Yes, but I think if anyone could you know what they'll do the experts at this they'll just rip a page out of a melway and wrap that around your leg because the streets look just very similar to your varica's veins.

Very creative and I love you for it. Simon.

Affordable prices.

See this can't discounts caring guidance. It's Cameo Memorials.

Check out the website Cameo Memorials dot com dot au. Andrew, when was the last time you went to a drive in cinema?

Sadly too long ago. I'm going to say fifteen years or so ago, Dramala.

We'll see. That's why they all closed down from your lack of support.

And a lot of others said it was the video shop that sort of did them in. Wasn't it more than else? I was old.

I think it was your lack of support. A man who's very angry with you joins us now David Kilderry, who ran the Lunar drive in for years and years and years.

Hello David god Simon good Andrew.

Now David, so tell us movies, drive ins and stuff? Where did that get first enter your life? Where did the love of it come from?

Well?

I remember going to the drive in as a little kid, being flopped in the backseat of the family Volkswagen and fighting for viewing space with my brothers and sisters. But the story I like to tell is that in nineteen seventy four, my parents built a second story extension on the family home in Reservoir. My sister chose the bedroom with the view of the backyard and I got the one that looked out to a drive in screen. So from that point on I was hooked.

See how about that got no sound but you got to see the action.

Well, with the type of movies they were running in the mid seventies andrew that, you didn't really need sound.

And it was going fairly predictable plots. Yeah, that's intriguing, and you ended up with the controlling the lunar. How many drive ins do you know are still operating around Melbourne or in the greater Melbourne area?

Well, but this.

Two in Melbourne. There's Village Coburg and down at Dremana as well, but there's only twelve left in Australia. And if we were talking just a few months ago, I would have said ten because two of them, one in Queensland and one in South Australia, had their screens blown down and that's a problem. Once they get to fit sixty years old, the rust and rot starts to take

So well, the Cooper PD drive in. There's a thought. Hell, I just can't imagine, but of course there is obviously one. What would a screen cost a replace?

Oh well, look, they're upwards of three to four hundred thousand dollars now because they're massive. They're as large as a suburban house block when if you lay the thing on the ground. But of course you need about twenty concrete mixers worth of concrete just to secure the foundations before you start with all the steel work coming up out of the ground.

Well, now that that answers David a question that I had for you, because I occasionally go out to the one Turner trash and treasure place out there, which is on the old one turn A drive in cinema spot, and the concrete base, the big concrete blocks that were at the bottom of the screen are still there. And I look at it when I go there, and I go, I wonder why they never got rid of those blocks.

Yeah, well, it's like an iceberg. Most of it's below the surface. But you're right. The tragic story with the old hoytz Wan Turner drive in was is that in nineteen eighty two Heints made the decision to add a second screen there and it cost them about a million dollars with all the ash fels and new projection building. So it was a twin screen, but for just one year.

See the heuts took a bath there, didn't they financially?

Absolutely? The business changed really fast. Andrew, I was working in drivings in those days and while they were closing faster than we could eat a steak sandwich from the snack bar.

Did you ever try some drivings?

I know did I never actually went to one of them, but that had this But there were rock bands sometimes playing before the movie at some drive ins.

Oh look, it was huge our driving at Danning on the Luna when it was village in the seventies. They had Billy Thorpe and the Aztecs play there one afternoon and the sound was so loud they got complaints from two suburbs away. So of course your good friend Pete Smith used to compare battle of the bands at the north Land Twin Driving and Denise Dreisdale was one of the go go dances there, so there's been lots of live music at drivings over the years.

We've just had a text coming through. My last trip to the Lunar driving that I went to was to see one of the worst films I ever paid to see, The Flash in twenty twenty two. It's not your fault if the product's not.

Good, though, No, that's right. I'd take a fence if it was the hamburgers or the donuts. But giving it to the movie, we just show them, we don't make them.

Like the hard top.

There is a lot of money, a lot of profit comes from, of course, the concessions, doesn't it from the hamburgers and the lollies?

Absolutely, Andrew look the concessions as we call them in the industry, whether it be hot food or just the popcorn and the drinks.

It's important.

But I should point out that there are cinemas where snacks are still reasonably affordable. You can make good profit without charging extortion at prices. And when I go, and I still go to the cinema and drive in quite frequently, when I see prices that I think are over the top, I think that's just pushing a little bit too far. There's still good money in it without being ridiculous.

Now, So how did you come to run? So you ended up owning the Lunar Driving, didn't you?

We did?

Yeah, Look, I'd spent my career working. I started at Greater Union Cinemas, working at the Forum, which many of your listeners would remember, perhaps even as the State. So I started there about forty four years ago as an assistant projectionist, then rose through the projectionist, worked at Hoyts, worked in their cinemas and drivings, then went to Village and I got to supervise both drivings and cinemas there. So the natural progression and what I always wanted to

Was it a Was it a good community in that if you're up against Heyts and Village, who were, of course sort of the two big ones and you're operating as an independent did they you know they sort of a bit not happy with you? Or was it all a big friendly community?

Well?

I wouldn't say it was absolutely friendly. But look, given I knew very senior people at both companies, I remember that one company in particular said to me they were very supportive of having strong independent cinemas out there, and plus we were going to hire a lot of films from their distribution arm and that we did. Look, luckily, we weren't competing with the drive in against one of theirs.

So.

Talking with David Kilderry about drive in movies, and there was a big problem with musicals, view that the drive in for years and years has been it's been fixed now. Of course, you can you tune into your car radio, your car sound system too. Here here the movie soundtrack.

That was a bit problem Muslim, all of.

That beautiful seventy millimeter six track stereo sound folded down into one little insect eaton speaker hang its right window. Yeah, look, thankfully sound improved. Andrew. You know, all are driving since the nineties have used FM stereo sound. So we used to say that the better your car sound system is, the better our movie is going to sound. So that was a big improvement. Yet people loved the nostalgia of the speakers. They didn't want us to take the speakers away.

They want to use.

Them, absolutely, it's synonymous with the driving, but they didn't want to listen to them. They wanted the better quality sounds.

But then that drive off with it still attached to the window.

Ah.

Luckily only very few people did that because it did cause problems for us.

And for then.

I remember there was a Sandringham drive and I went to it a long time ago and there was a little section where you could just sit and these were people who I remember I spoke to them at interval and they just came to the drive in to watch the movie. There was a speaker there and they actually lived only a street away and they just walked up. And did you provide seats out in actual seats for non vehicle people?

We did, and the indoor sections that they had for those people at some of the drivings. Burwood had one as well, and there was one at our driving. They were called walking so they were in cinema seats with a big glass wall and a speaker. And that's for people that wanted to arrive on a bike or walk. In fact, I heard even some people arrived on horses to view movies in the early days.

That way it driving wonderful. I didn't realize what a great.

Idea it was a good idea. Yeah, now you.

Do presentations and public speaking and stuff, don't you on this? Is it just on drivings that you do it?

Or no? I do it? On a few topics mostly related to cinemas, but also do some to do with cars as well. But the most popular public talk I do was on the history of drivings, and I do that quite often, and I also do quite a few on cinemas as well. And I've got one coming up at the paran Mechanics Institute on August the twelfth, and

I've got another thing that really well did the cinema, the drive in cinemas in David was the fact that so much of their land became just extremely valuable. The Clinton Drive, it was, well, how many acres was the luna to give me some.

Luna was fifteen But Clayton that you mentioned Metro and a village Clayton across the road from the university there it was on twenty five acres of some of the most prime land. And when you think of Tuak driving up on the hill there on Turrak Road and Standringham, as we mentioned, the moment these places started to have marginal operating figures. That was a very easy decision to sell them and get the profits. And that's the problem

It's unbelievable now people there was a driving in track and that you know, what was it two or three thousand dollars per square footed land or something like that into ITCT and there used to be driving there. Yeah, very hard to justify running it as a.

Theater, that's right, Yeah, it really People ask me often, you know, will drive ins open again? Will anyone build one? Well? They might, but you have to find an area that's close enough to a population on a piece of land that is going to have land tacks rates that are going to be affordable. And that's one of the reasons we closed it, Danny Kong is the lane tax and all the operating costs just just became too high for us to maintain the driving there now.

David Kilderry, Captain Elfie has called in an occasional caller to the programs I believe with the question for you get a Captain Elfie.

And the greeting sir, and how do you do David? It's fantastic what you're doing.

But what I used to do, But thank you very much.

Yes, okay, if you can just put your mind down to Lawn, back where I used to live and did all my holidays down there at my grandmother's place around the corner from the Lawn Hotel. Well, we had a cinema there since I'm saying from the sixties onwards, and it's I want to they're having a few concerts there and stuff, but it's not the old cinema with those beautiful seats, and the chap is down you know, and the chap who did it, who ran it, his nickname

A beautiful theater down at Lawn. I know it very well. And unfortunately it changed hands about two years ago, and they had plans to run movies not just at holidays there but all year round, and unfortunately there wasn't enough numbers to support it. And now I, like you said, I heard that it's now doing live performances and various

It's one of those things, is that, Thank you, Captain Alphie. It's one of those things, isn't it, David, And I've always said this. We lament the closing of the local family owned hardware store, yet we all shop at Bunnings. We lament the closing of our the local butcher shop and the local greengrocer, yet we all go to coals and Woolli's the only people to blame for the lack

Yeah, that's right, it's all part of it. And the old song you don't know what you've got until it's gone. Say when it's gone, I wish it was back. But you need to support them while they're there. And you know, often you see whenever you see something mentioned about driving theaters online, often the first or second comment is, oh, I used to be snuck in in the boots. Well, that certainly didn't help things on the finance either.

But it was a right of passage, wasn't it.

It seemed to me did you actually find that happened a lot, that people were snuck it in boots?

It didn't happen a lot, but did happen. And we had a rule, my brother and I, if we caught them before the ticket box, if for another customer said hey, there's two people in the boot in the car behind us, if we caught them there, we got them out to embarrass them and let them still pay to come in. But if we caught them inside the theater, once they'd done the deception or theft is the police class it has,

Wonderful And now the only bit of cinematic sort of knowledge that I've got when and I think I bring it up every time we ever speak to you, David, I was told once where Village Cinemas got its name from. And if I'm right in remembering this correctly, it was named after the twin driving at Croydon, was it.

Not, Yeah, you're right. That was the Rock Kirby who was the founder along with his partners Spencer and Allix, and they built that drive in as their first one in late nineteen fifty four. And Rock told me he was looking for a name and he couldn't think of a name. And just alongside near the entrances it's where

Make movies and all that. Yes, a big distribution company too. David Gilderry, what an absolute pleasure to talk to you, and I hope we speak again sometime.

It's always great fun. Andrew and Simon, thanks a lot.

And if people do want to see talks, presentations or book you or anything, is there a website or anything they can go to.

Well, for the one I've got coming up, they can just go to the paran Mechanics Institute PMI just search it online. It's the Victorian Local History Line. The Cinema and Theater Historical Society are also big supporters of my presentations and you can search for them online as well.

Fabulous, good on you, David. David Kilderry from the Lunar Driving Rick Milne up after the break, tell.

Me why I need another bed, Tell me why I got that album long, tell me why hy bed on Dantner's.

All up.

On Sunday night on three at w means remember when and means Rick mill good evening, Ricky, Yes.

Hello, Andy, Pandy and Simon.

Good to chat to you.

Rick. Now, before we get into what you've found and what you're looking for and all those sorts of things, we do ask for calls on one double three six nine three if you want to talk to Rick Milne, ring now, because almost every week without fail, we end up with ringing in at five minutes to the hour

Do, certainly do. So I'm on this coming Saturday, which is the Schult to stay with the ear By the Way, that's what they call with the Solstice and the Brotherhood Saint Lawrence, Dan and Bentley, which is five eighteen center Destiny of Woolworth's doing a big day, having a day of from Tendal four of music and live music and collection of art music CDs and DVDs, et cetera, from Tendaal four and from Tootle four Milne. We'll be doing evaluations. So if anybody would like to come along and get

All for a good cause. Ricky, You've got a wonderful memorability of sent us to tonight.

Yeah, a few little spectacular items, i'd say, including knitting for soldiers.

Yes, yes, Second World War.

I would think Second World War. And the idea was you'd knit various things for your soldier boy and sent them over to the front.

So what exactly is it that we can see the picture here and the picture is up for people who want to have a look on our Facebook page. Three aw remember when? But what is it exactly?

Was it kind of a little It was a pattern book for soldiers, for shirts and so forth that the soldiers would have worn on the Second World War. And the idea was to knit these items for the soldiers. Lovely about that, isn't that something? And then the next one is my all time favorite. I like the old film Noirs and this is my favorite. It's not a very good poster as a matter of fact, considering how

Yes, I've never seen the movie Rick. It was all said in a rather seedy border town down near Mexico, wasn't it it was.

That's exactly right. It's an amazing tracking site at the Star at the Start, which runs for about five minutes, and you see it from above, and this car just explodes with the with the people in the car. Amazing. There was there was something and then a couple of other things there which we can talk about. Actually, my favorite one is the very last one. For some reason, corningwear, which is actually very very popular and out there in

Would it be a thing? Rick?

Though?

Like, I look at that picture and my mum had the exact same It's a casserole. It's white with her floral design on the side, with a clear glass lid, and my mum had that exact same one. And that makes me think that the person who's put that up obviously knows they're not going to sell it for that much. But that would make me go, oh, wouldn't it be cool to own one of those? And then I'd look for it elsewhere and go, oh one hundred bucks, oh buy that same time.

Well, the thing is a woman did contact me to say that she had two of them.

Yeah, she thought she.

Was having a heart attack, she thought she's who were forty eight thousand dollars. It was a bit sad to have to otherwise it wasn't quite the same. But you will notice, of course that the one previous to that, which is for a shell sign w did sell, and you'll see the price that sold for it sold here in Australia, I.

Can't see anything sold for an eye watering one hundred thirty three thousand, nine hundred and seventy five dollars.

It did.

Wow, an old sign. It's a beautiful sign, and it looks as though it's damaged. Is it damaged?

No?

I should sincerely hope not. That's sort of a price, but that's what it did sell for. I mean, it's it's that's not a made up thing. The other one is obviously that's just a big joke, but this one actually did sell for one hundred and thirty three thousand plus.

How big is it?

Not huge at all? It would be about forty five centimeters wide and about twelve or fifteen centimeters deep. Maybe a bit more, maybe up to sixty centimeters wide, but it's not massive, not a huge sign at all, and early one, but it's just astounding to me that had brought that proceid it did.

Yeah, now, well it's beautiful colors, it looks really good.

So it is, and it's a very early sign. They used that little character, that strange little character in a lot of their very very earliest advertising, so I think it's from way way back. But nonetheless, isn't that understounding for one hundred and thirty three.

Thousand, that is fabulous and the last one you've got there for us Rick and again they're all available on our Facebook page. Remember when the.

Red robot with sparklers and this is a little advertising signed for it. It's great And of course robots generally speaking sell really well, especially the early Japanese made. They made some amazing ones. And in fact a woman contacted me she found on the hard rubbish at a place good Armadale, not the one in Victoria, but that went

Yeah, people just don't know what. It's always worth slowing down, and when someone's got a hard rubbish collection, it's worth slowing down. Of course, it's illegal to take it. We strongly advise that you don't, but if you happen to have a look and find something interesting, isn't that nice to be interested? It's so true.

After the sun's gone down exactly a.

Night becaus it never hurts, does it well? One double three six nine three. If you have something you wish to have valued by Riccardo, he would love to do it. One double three six nine three. But according to ten, we're going to take a little breaking poo and.

Peter and Adel two will be first up after the break, but other calls are welcome. One double three six nine three. As Andrews said, Rick Milne is here ready to take your calls, and Peter is first off from Bergen.

Get I, Peter good, any gentlemen, Rick, I have my neighbors a who's having a coin out and he found a big plastic bag of old matches, ones that you slip over and their little things match things and then you strike the bottom of the card the match.

Yeah, it is a little there's like little.

Book matches, you might say, yes, yes, some of from England, New York, Las Vegas nineteen sixties, the Monte.

Carlo Casino, West Point Casino, Bacco Parlo Hotel. Just watter whether they're worth anything at all?

Not much, not much and they're a bit of a hart fire has that I have to tell Peter. The only ones that have much value on those. They did some with sporting sporting figures on them, and those sell very well from restaurants and from places all around the world. Not much. They were given used to be given away when many more people smoked than do now, so they used to give them out. They were all previews, of course. But if you've got to need the good sporting, go

Okay, But I would also add there, Peter, that if you put them up as a bolk lot on somewhere like eBay, there will be people like me. I've always wanted to have a big glass ball on a coffee table full of matchbooks because I just beautiful.

Center through the mail. That's one of the problems with them, of course, a drug. Well, you can't matches through the mail, can't you know? You're not to unless somebody comes down with them. That'd be a different story. And yes, you're right the fishbowl full of them, but a bit of a fire hazard, I have to.

Say, yes, retro, aren't you I am a bit.

You're a coffee table with display teak legs. Don't all that stuff next to a pinball machine and.

Next to the next to the those lights that have got those from things on them, you know, the lighter.

And the lava lamp in the corner.

That's what I mean, the lava lamp to that's that's even worse like bubbling oil.

Yeah, just waiting to explode. Adele is in Melton High, Adele, Hello, I was just wondering.

I've got a Bangjo Mandolin. Yeah, it's still insane signed and it's got bar Donal's Jacky Lee Toady, Barbla Moore, John Joseph Navis and lots of other signatures on it. And I just wondered if it was worth anything.

It will be. They are, they are reasonably syllable, and there are people who are pretty adept to playing them as a matter of interest, so that that's pretty good. I would think these days probably a hundred to one fifty a del somewhere around about, and there are potential buyers.

There's signatures on it. You know, it might be work.

I understand, I understand it's it's it's probably worth more for you from that point of view, But for anybody else who's going to buy it, they're going to want to play it, so that's the difference. And if you if you, if you're selling it just as something with autographs on it, you might sort of get a similar price, but it would be it would sell to somebody who's looking to buy Anti Manlin and play it, So it kind of works both ways.

Thanks Adele. This is Marion from Cranbourne.

Rick.

Rick.

I have a couple of things. My mum worked for Sans and McDougall's in Melbourne, Yes, and I've got an invitation there. It says mister K. D. MacDougall requests the pleasure of your company at a victory dinner to be given by the company in the factory dining rooms on Thursday the thirteenth of September nineteen forty five.

And that's great, very dreads. That would be somewhere these days. They'll be Santa MacDougall. They were up the top end of Swanson Street, as I recall, I've got that right, maybe I haven't anyway, Yes, the answer the question is they that would have a value and somewhere about fifty i'd reckon for a little invitation and what's the other item.

Yeah, say you've got you live in Hannover Street. As an example, they give number three is George Flanders, numbers five is Talie Brown, number seven exactly everybody's everybody's names in there. Although I did notice in one of the ones that I saw, and I think it was in Fitzroy, it said number five Chinese. That's all it said Chinese, different times.

Yes, yes he's here. Damn you hell first up, damn muta hell. And you know why? Yes, he leaves out these chocolate bars. Yes, I'm onto my fourth. Yes I know they're mini. Just to explain, Yes, I'm not at that level but quite yet. But I can't I walk by them just in in that kitchen hand. Sure enough, I found one in my left hand. I don't know how I'd got there.

And then yet got Kevin trash joints. It's not like Kevin.

I thought you saw you scrummaging on your hands and niece.

It was a bit desperate, wasn't it, everybody, Simon. Just to explain, Simon leaves them very kindly out for people, Yes, but.

Don't, please don't. I've got a problem. I buy lots of chocolate and leave it out for all the staff here. So I do that just to be nice.

So like if you if you want to do a Simon and you want to get people hooked on Dr Pepper, why don't you just bring in a slab and leave them on the coffee table.

Because it's expensive. Nothing that's true. And the thing about it is, though, what he hasn't told you, Kevin Trask sitting here is staring at me with daggers in his eyes? But what did you have for dinner tonight?

Andrew? I had a grilled burger.

Yeah, he went across the road. The minute he got in here, he walked and said, hello, I'm going across the road to get a burger. So he's had a fatty burger from.

Across the Do you have for dinner tonight? Owns?

I had half a bag of doritos. Oh no, that's that's cuisine man. Doctors listening, Well, I had half a bag because Ben helped me eat it, so he had the other half. I would have had a whole bag from all right now, Kevin transk, why are you.

Just reading Kem, I've got the wrong one. I've got the bing Crosby Society. It's last year's I'm sure I know it's one.

That's okay. Well, that's right. Look, you and I were going to catch up, but you became unavailable on Friday. Yes, so I wasn't terribly well. Yeah, but anyhow, I had the pleasure of going to Ryland's to a lovely celebration that was organized to commemorate Philip Brady's birthday, which is of course tomorrow, yes, he would be eighty six, wouldn't he Yeah, tomorrow. That's rather sad.

But anyhow, we organized that but I couldn't go.

And it went well.

It did, Yeah, it did.

It went very well. It was lovely, the food was lovely, the company was lovely. I was thinking a wonderful showbiz stories. Well, the cake was delished thanks to Rock and Dave. I think he was the one who provided the cake and the food at Island's very nice. I have to say, is it open to the public or I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure if it's actually a functioning restaurant that you can just go in and book.

But it should be probably more for residents, but I'm not sure on that point.

But yeah, the company was love I won't name everyone who was there because for the life of me, I'll forget someone and I'll upset someone.

So well, they were all pleased to see you there, I believe.

Yeah, well it was. It was lovely, lovely, little chats about phil and memories of him. I told the story of Philip's car, which is a quite long winded story that I haven't told fully on air. I will want day when we have a bit of time. But yeah, there's a bit of a story to do with Phillip's carr That got a few laughs. Good, which was which was good? Good? But yes, so thank you to everyone for being so kind and letting me tag along for the day.

That was the Brady Bunch Coffee Club of Q.

Yes, and that all had their badges almost had their badges on.

Yes, Philip made me president when he said, buddy, I want you to be president.

I said, okay, yeah, he passed the bat on to you.

He passed the bat on to me.

I had no idea.

I passed my vice presidentcy down grand Brown.

Have you made.

You've made provisions for well we hope a long time away that you won't be there too.

There's something you know that I don't know.

It's a delicate subject.

I know now that you're in your sixties.

Ah.

Yes, you have to.

Think about what comes after, It's true. And so you have passed the presidency of the Philip Brady Appreciate Appreciation Society onto someone else.

And he's a vice president now, yes, oh good, I'm president.

And what is he in a good age group that.

Yes, he's okay, he'll be referable.

That's good.

So here's the thing from other people who may not be well.

Half of the Bob, they won't be very very much longer. Where we're not a group of young teenagers.

Let's put it that.

No, no, no, but still got a lot of hope and life in you.

Hope is the big boy. The Bing Crosby Appreciation Society, the Frank Sinatra Appreciation Society, and now the Philip Brady Appreciation Society.

Yes, of course, three good clubs that you remember of, Yes, yes, or shall we move on to Is there anything else you've done? I just liked to mention that the Crosby Society meeting on Tuesday night at the Collingwood Library, which is next to the Collingwood Town Hall, and they're running the Road to Rio with Bing Crosby and Bob Hope. And that starts at seven point thirty at the at the library. And I'm not sure if I'll be there yet, but yeh we'll see here we.

Go, alrighty, So now it's time to move on too.

Yes, now, I remember when it's time for who died?

Kevin Well with the greatest respect Brian Wilson, but every radio presenter in Australia has talked about Brian Wilson this week and played their favorite song. Yes, but he was eighty two. Now, Phil met him, didn't he.

He did paid good money to meet him, for one hundred bucks, four hundred bucks to shake his head lead a spaced out old man and as he was well. I did see the Beach Boys at the palais.

I saw Mike Love and there was a couple of his cousins there as well, so they sort of made up the Beach Boys show and that was good. But he was marvelous. Brian Wilson, a composer, a singer, a musician himself with all those great little rifts and things he put into the songs.

Had a terrible home life, Yes, he did. All all the boys, the Wilson Boys. That's father was a bit of a case, wasn't he.

Yes, Yes, they did have a bad childhood. The peak years were sixty two to sixty six.

And his brother.

When his brother Karl died, I think that might have had an effect on him, and he'd been sick for a while before he passed away.

Are you right this?

Yes, Sorry, it's just something Andrews said that gave me a bit of a fright, that's okay. Yes, when he referred to the father of the Wilson's is a bit of a case. I thought he was on.

No, yeah, someone remember when no, no, a little fright.

That's also just giggling quietly to myself.

So the sand passing in Brian Wilson, and they certainly made their mark, didn't they. I used to want the bandstand, they said, said the American.

Clips on bands, didn't they?

Yes, they'd have those striped shirts on and the surfboards out. But I don't think any of them ever went near the water.

Now there was one who did surf, according to who was I talking to? Someone I was talking to he said that one of them did serve. Actually, one one could is.

To bust my moves on the dance floor, to do it again by the beach boys.

Have you got that there?

Then? Have you got to do it again there by the beach boys, because I could bust my moves all over again hearing it.

You know, cameras are on high administration.

Everybody who has that facility, get to your station and get to.

You Andrew only to do it again. Though I don't want me to help you of the year. I'm not that bad.

You sixty plus. It's it's not there. We'll have to move on.

Ben's looking it up. It's d o.

Here we go.

This is it.

I'm not familiar with this.

Look at him, go look at those hips.

When are you going to start?

No?

No, hang on, Ben, Ben, I'm sorry I didn't explain. It's a foot dance. I dance from the ankles down.

Yes, yes, what an act. It's fabulous.

I felt it.

I've got badly bruised shins.

Anyway, that was do it again. One of my favorites of their But they've had many good songs.

They had many so and everybody's played all their songs.

I think I heard what I've heard every one of them now, even Disney Girls.

I heard now. Jaden has also just texted through that sly Stone passed away from the sly and the family stone. That's right, Yes, in the back of the seventies seventies group, Yes, so bigger in.

America, I think than they were here would be my guss my memory.

All right, fair enough, all right, should we get to a break and get the time tunnel underway? What a good idea?

Kevin Trask's Time Tunnel. The Blind Factory's Birthday sale is on Big Savings call one three Blinds or head of the Blind Factory dot com dot au. Before it ends, it's time to go back and remember the people, events and to the soundtrack of our lives we trasks Time Time Time.

Well, yes, it's good to be in the time time tonight. It takes me back to a year, a year for me that I found out the truth about Jillian Patterson who lived out three doors down. But apart from that, there were many other events of that year.

Weren't there Julian Patterson waiting for the movie I'm angel waiting for what he's talking about?

What was the secret? I'm not going to reveal her. I don't kiss and tell.

Oh, I see, I'm not one of those I see. Okay, well fair Enough'll just leave it at that.

Thank you.

Hello, Jillian, If you're listening, she won't.

Is she an ABC listener?

Is she?

No?

We're moving off a lah. I'm not going to discuss any further. But that was the year, and the year.

Was nineteen seventy seven.

What a year.

It's only forty eight years ago.

Hmmm, Jillian will worried Jillian would be ninety three?

Would she good?

Is she the one who taught you that dance you did before they ad brage? That's it?

God bless you, Jillian the ankle and foot Well. Elvis Presley passed away in nineteen seventy seven, and I guess what was it? The sixteenth of August nineteen seventy seven. And I guess we all remember where we were when we got the news that Elvis had died.

Because I was six and I didn't do I didn't know Elvis. But remember where where are you?

Kevin?

I was at work.

I was working in Telstra or Telecom in those days, and I got a phone call and I was sitting at my desk and I'm still with you know, just sitting at my desk, and I couldn't believe it.

I could.

I couldn't believe.

Are you sure?

Are you sure?

I got a telegram from Jillian Patterson?

Did you?

I just couldn't believe what. I opened that envelope at the front door. I just ab broke down.

I will look at that's just the way is thist it? You know, you're you don't seem to remove by the it's very soft hearted. I get too caught up emotional.

Anyway, Elvis died, which was very sad and a bit of a shock because I don't think very few all in Australia, very few people knew that he was ailing. Really he was well.

He was very sick, wasn't he on all sorts of medications. He lost the interest in recording around about nineteen seventy six. RCA used to drive a truck out to the Gracelands and set it all the recording studio up so he didn't have to go anywhere.

Just do the songs.

But he sort of, I don't know, things had gone bad with Priscilla and his daughter.

And things like that. He lost his mojo.

He lost his mojo and unfortunately he passed away. And we're going to listen to the news report in just a second. But you know, he lived at Graceland and was found at Graceland by Joe Espsido. What is it I think found him in the bathroom.

Yeah, he was want to be Yeah the Memphis Maffi, wasn't it.

Yeah?

Yeah, so Elvis himself. I loved Elvis. I still, even though the movies are really bad. I like to see the songs, and it's couple.

Of the movies are good.

There's a couple of Elvis Presley memories that are good. But he'll be around for a long long time. And I'd love to go to Graceland. Either of you been to Graceland.

No, I haven't known.

Well, I've been there, but he was still alive. So I just I just stood outside south of gates. Did you see him?

No, people were waiting around.

Apparently he had been out earlier in the morning, if the car had come out, and a few of the people.

They just people were just standing.

Here for an hour after hour waiting to see over.

Yeah. Yes, there are always people at the front apparently always. Oh what a life. Yes, yeah, Oh, well that's great.

So let's go to the news report in nineteen seventy seven on the passing of Elvis Presley.

Well, everything has happened to me so fast in the last.

Year and a half till I'm.

All mixed up, you know, I mean, I can't keep believe.

Everything is happening.

Any news.

Elvis Presley suddenly dies in Memphis. I'm Anne, Marie Dear. The King of rock and roll. Forty two year old Elvis Presley suddenly died of what doctors believe was respiratory failure this afternoon. Anita Help has a complete report from the Baptist Hospital in Memphis.

Probably several hundred people in front of Baptist's Hospital. They all can't believe that Elvis Presley, the King of rock and roll, is dead, has reported from Maurice Elliott's vice president of administration for Baptist Hospitals, and Elvis's road manager. Joe Spizito, found Elvis in his bedrooms at two thirty this afternoon, unconscious. Midreds Posito reported that he's found no vital times at the time, but he immediately began resuscitation

Their efforts were futile.

After about thirty minutes. Doctor George Mecompolis, Elvis's personal position for many years, pronounced Elvis Presley dead.

Wow. I've never heard the full report like that before. You haven't nice?

This is you imagine the shock throughout the world. Yeah, I say, you'd say, yeah, sure?

Are you sure? My next my next door neighbors were very big Golfer's Presley fans. They used to play a lot of his music, so they would have been very upset. I'm just I'm a bit too young to really remember it.

I'm saying I know someone who you know him to. His first name is Don, who has all the Elvis Son original forty fives. He recorded five records for Son and Don has the five, which would be worth a fair old bit, wouldn't they He has to be worth.

Should tell Rick Milan about that?

Yeah?

Yeah, I think Rick was in his day when he did collect records. I think he had the five too, but he sold them since then.

Okay maybe so yeah. Quick quiz time, Kevin, Here we go.

Boys.

Who played the role of Carla, the Little Dutch girl in the TV series The Sullivans. Was it a Danny Minogue, B Tina Arena, C Kylie Minogue or d Sigrid Thornton.

Little Carla? Okay, I'm gonna go just like go first, certainly, I'm thinking I don't recall Danny and Tina ever doing any acting, just myself, so that narrows it down to me to Kylie and Sigrid. But I'm sure Kylie's first role was in The Henderson Kids or something. So I'm going to go Sigared, I'm going to go d Sigrid Ben, I'm going to I disagree with Simon.

I wonder if Tina Arenas actually done some acting, so I'm probably going to go Tina Arena.

I'm going to go Tina too, Tina too, Tina too? What about Greg? Who's with us tonight? Greg?

Any thoughts, I'm going to go Danny Minogue, even though you know that you don't think she acted.

All right, So we've got Danny, Tina, and Cigarette and no one's gone Kylie. Yeah, all right, the answers, please, Kevin.

The answers are locked in by our judges. There's no changing things now. No correspondence will be entered into. Of course, the it wasn't Danny Minogue. Greg, I'm terribly sorry. Not Danny Minogue. Was She's out. It wasn't Kylie, it wasn't it wasn't Tina Arena. It wasn't Tina. Okay, So there's been and Andrew just bite the dust and it wasn't Sigared Thornt.

No, I.

Can't believe this. Not one person has gone for Kylie Minou. She did might have started out the head of some kids, but in the Sullivan she had this role which ran for a couple of weeks. Okay, I never knew Carla the little Dutch girl.

Yeah, because I only think of Kylie's Neighbors. Yeah, she was in what was that on sky Ways?

She had at roll in that too, Yes, yes she had.

She did all the little bits, little bits and pieces. Neighbors was the big one. But yeah, yeah, lots of little acting roles before. She still acts every so often because she did like a Doctor Who episode about fifteen years ago. I think, yes, every so often. Yeah.

She made a number of films.

And did a film with Dwayne the Rock Johnson. I'm pretty sure as well.

She did yeah in Queensland. Yes, so there. All right, So I don't go and congratulate anybody, because nobody.

Got it right.

There is no single brain cell among any of us. We all missed that one. All right, Let's let's do television in nineteen seventy seven, before the break, Kevin.

We were watching things like cup Shop, The Sweeney, the dick Emery Show, a Little House on the Schmaltz which was very popular, George and Mill, Hildred Bell Bird, and of course the Don Lane Show. And I thought the Don Lane Show was just fantastic. I thought Don was great and we're very lucky to have him as a copy of that show.

And they got big names on that show.

Dean Martin was on one night on a link on a TV link.

Yeah, Charlton Heston, Bob Hope and yeah, big big overseas names.

There is a guy who's putting up episodes of the Don Lane Show on YouTube. I don't know where he's getting them from, but they're going up there. So get onto YouTube. You can see full Don Lane Show episodes now wonderful.

Well, of course, at this time, Burt and Patty Newton were doing the album The Famous Album, which is a record I've got one at home, yeah where thousands of Now I would imagine.

I've got one as well. So we're both rich, we're both yes, Andrew common as buck.

But from the this the album, they did this song on The Don Lane Show and I think it's it's Love and Marriage by Bert Newton and Patty Newton.

Do you remember the night we decided to get married?

Oh?

Yes, We're on b deck, sailing.

Into the night, two US class tickets on the Manly Very.

The moon was high.

What a proposal, pat Black, I have enough courage to ask me.

I don't burst.

Try try, try to separate lens. It's an illusion.

Try charge, try, and he will.

Only come.

To this conclusion.

Love and reach, Love and reach goats again, like the horse and carriage that was told by bye, you can't have one, you can't have none.

You can't have one without me.

That is good to hear their voice, isn't it isn't wonderful.

I don't think they're both good singers.

Yeah, in Burt in his own way, very theatrical, but it was good. I like you.

I like him who died in nine in semblyn.

Who seventy seven.

That's that's the question we will be answering. Yeah exactly, Kevin, Yeah, you've made a mistake. According to Grant Brown, what did I say? This is how closely people pay attention?

Is it the vice president Grant Brown, the vice president.

Of the Coffee Club. It is, Oh, this will be important, and he has let us know. If we went back to the end of last week's episode when Kevin talks about what year are we doing next? Yes, I know what he's going to say. Kevin said he was going to be doing nineteen seventy, so now it's under pressure, and yet here we are doing seventy seven.

Yes, he's quite right because he never misses what we're going to do. Wow, order to happen, Kevin, you don't get to be vice president of the Philip Brady Coffee Club. You're going to be pretty smart.

So what where was the gum up in the works?

Why explain why?

I think I just might have a little bit of a fog came across the brain. I had seconds to say it, and no one asked me what we're doing next week? And I just threw in a year that was all the us.

Well with Grant there clearly has a very good memory and a very good numbers man and all of the good man man. When you when you upset the president and you're the vice president, I think I'm the president of the president. That's what I'm saying. You're the president and the vice president's having a crack at you. I think his vice presidency might be short lived. I'm going to try and sort of come turbulent waters here. Let's just move on, will we come on?

Set settle both of these.

Okay, this is the teacher.

Simon that temper. Don't let it go, mate, Fine who died in seventy seven.

Well, quite a few, Charlie Chaplin, Gammo Marx passed away. Oh yes, Joan Crawford, Richard Carlson, who was in it, came from out of space. We took and met him a few weeks ago. Bing Crosby passed away. And Groucho Marx he was eighty six when he died in nineteen seventy seven.

So Gummo and Groucher both eys in the same year.

Yeah.

It's strange, isn't it? But anyhow, I love Groucher. There's a lot of things he said that you could never say on radio. But he was a funny man. And one of the things he did say is anyone can get old. All you have to do is live long enough. But he was in thirteen feature films, and he created that character with the painted on mustache and the cigar and the breast coat and all the things that he did to make that character work.

You know how the painted on mustache happened? No, when originally he used to put on he used to glue on a fake mustache when he was doing the show, the stage shows this was, and one day he was just running so late. He arrived as the curtain was going up. So he's just got some grease paint and just smeared it across his lip to put on a false mustache. And he thought, oh, that's actually easier, So

They made thirteen feature films, those brothers, the Marx Brothers, and he had a TV show called You Bet Your Life. We're gonna have a little bit of that now, and he's got as on the contestants, two young Australians who'd left Sydney to break into show business in America, and they got the big, big break by being on the show. And they finished up in an episode of Star Trek.

We have a couple of brothers on deck now they're Ted and Tom Laguard.

So boy to come in please and meet Rauto.

Mark's welcome to you a bet your life, say the sacred word and to buy it an extra one hundred dollars. It's a common way. It's something you see every day. Ted and Tom la Guard the quadruplets.

Twins.

I thought so because you're both wearing the same kind of neckties where your boys firm. Well, I went from Mackay and North Queensland, Australia.

Is that the real McCoy?

A lot of people call it and a lot of people call it mafie. If the scunner, why you said your sacred word? You said the sacred word? People, So you and your father each get fifty dollars, there's fifty fifty few dad? Are you married Tom? Now?

We're single?

No?

This's his term?

Is mom?

Tom?

Or your term?

Well?

Are you married now?

We're not married? You're not married?

About single?

Right?

If we meet a couple of twins, A lot of twins.

You mean you one four.

Twin girls we meet, the twin girls.

Will get married, he would, or wouldn't it be confusing for twins to married twins. You'd never know whether you were kissing your wife or squeezing your sister in law.

Good old Groucho is only good.

Yeah.

He was very quick witted, yes, which suited that format, which was why he was offered that show because Groucho had done other stuff before. But the producer who wanted him to do that show, Graucho said no, I'm not interested at all, And he said, but that's where you can add lib and it will really work for you. So he was sort of reluctantly did it and ended up loving doing it.

Yeah, for years two At America. Peter Finch started in seventy seven.

Sixty only sixty. I know Heed he like a drop of the turps and he was. Yeah, he had a pretty heavy life and he actually fought in the Second World War. He was a good all around. A film met him and had a photo taken with him, and he worked with Dian Cilento, the wife of Sean Connery, in a film. And I spoke to Diane Silento about

I adored Peter, who was actually at that time heavily involved in having an affair with Vivian Lee, so he was sort of brother occupied in the evenings. He used to come back completely tired from being up in Stratford and sort of well, I don't know quite conducting this extraordinary affair that he had. But he was incredibly protective of me, and because I was just starting and he was really I just loved him. He was just so nice. I mean, he taught me all sorts of interesting mad things, right.

Wonderful, wonderful, They are toying Peter Finch. And but that did a lot of bed hopping, didn't they? In Hollywood and in the film industry, they're hearing who he was engaged with, shall we say, Kevin, Yes, it's a world I didn't quite experience into radio. Then it became endemic, Yeah, of course, yes, it became out of control. Actually, at one point we all were just so many beds, so much hopping, it was ridiculous.

Yeah.

And I know you were involved in some of some of the heaviest bed hopping I've ever seen.

Well, I don't like to talk about it or brag. They called you the mattress. Yeah. Anyway, moving on, Kevin.

Of nineteen seventy seven, is that what you were going to say, Andrew?

Probably, I've got a far away look at my eye.

Now he's reminiscing. You're gonna watch over.

That fog it's floating around the studio.

Happened to be last week.

There were films like Star Wars, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Saturday Night Fever in the Getting of Wisdom came out in nineteen seventy seven along with New York New York Now, this film starred Liza Manelli and Robert de Niro, and either.

Of you have seen that. Yes, it was a bit heavy going, Yeah it wasn't that Probably the Sailors singing New York, New York wonderful. Yeah, no, that's Team Kelly. It's a different it's a different New York, New different New York. This is Robert and and he was sort of a sax player.

That's right, A moody sax player, wasn't There was nothing worse than a moody sax player.

Yeah.

Yeah, Well, this this particular film had a song in it written by Yeah.

Right, Hendrick gets upset reminiscing about moody sax players.

John Canada and Fred m wrote this song.

He had a running with Wilbert Wilde once and he's never forgiven him, which is called New York, New York.

And he became famous for Frank Sinatra. Oh yes, and this is the word started in this ninety seven seventh film, and three years later Sinatra has the big hit. But it was e Liza Minelli singing it in the film.

A Little Town.

No a mega brand new start of it.

In All New York.

Magus, Up to you York, New York Blues.

For Wacome.

He is a douzen sneeze, too fine and ping on a hill. Hell A listen, Creema Pama.

Timel, the coaran, the thought of it in New York. If I can't say against Samnion anywhere, come on comes through.

New Ya.

After all these years of listening to that beautiful song and the song I adore so much, Andrew, I've just realized what a hypocrite. He is singing that song. Why is that? Because he listened to the lyrics. It's all about his wife left him old forsaking old vows for new She's left him. In the song, he's the one who ran off with Liz Taylor. So yes, he did.

He left Debbie for He left Debbie for Liz, and then of course Liz left him for Richard.

That's probably my favorite Russell Morris song.

I have to say.

But he had a few goodies, he did.

But that's still going well, just about to sort of wrap it up, apparently, but going strong.

And everyone you know the real thing was explosive and different and all of that. But that's the song to me that just says Russell Morris was fantastic. Is fantastic. Yeah, yeah, having already upset Wilbur Welton, John Camalleary tonight, let's throw Russell Morris into the big clowing.

And it was trying to act all right, what was the year? And I did say, off are you? It was nineteen seventy two and I was wrong.

You were just one year out nineteen seventy one.

The year seventy one year. Hard to believe, fifty four years ago?

Yes it earl. Congratulations Pierre from Seaford, who was the first person to correctly guess that it was nineteen seventy one.

Yeah, yeah, seventy one with the Chip Chippy Chief Cheef the great song o we Chopy Chirpy che love that song.

Michael of Point Cook was second. Susie of Karen Beach, Robbie of Malulabah. Craig was also correct from suburb unknown he might be homeless, Hello Craig, feeling sorry for you and the Cold Andrew of Dandy Noong, Robin of Boxhill, North Ashley of East Doncaster, Michael of Werriby and Craig from West Footscray were the first ten to correctly guess nineteen seventy one. Many others did as well. Well done to you, but they were the first ten. That was the year nineteen seventy one.

I remember it well. It was the first of the year I had my first pepper steak.

Oh is that right? Yes, I remember well, I was being born. Well, actually I don't remember that bit well, but probably a good thing exactly.

But for those who remember, the pepper steak was a very big item on seventies menus.

Okay, nice, all right, you've run out of stuff to say. I'm I'm just conscious of the fact that we've got a guest waiting, so he should get to a break and get to him. Yes, good idea. Hey, this is kind of important.

I like this. Someone contacted you a couple of days ago, didn't they. They did about something that's been found and handed into the National Film and Sound Archives.

Yes, now, Simon Smith joins us. He is an occasional contributor to the program through his work at the National Film and Sound Archive. When he uncovers stuff that he thinks is possibly of interest to our audience, he always reaches out and we say, yes, let's have a chat about it. So welcome to you. Simon Smith from the National Film and Sound Archive.

Good evening, Simon, and good evening, Andrew, and thanks having me on.

Fantastic it's a pleasure. As Bruce used to say, Now, what exactly is your title before we get into this, Simon, what's your title at the National Film and Sound Archive?

Jee, Well, look, it's curated, but I probably preck the arkivast to be honest. Yeah, just because you know, one of my main roles is working in our collections area, which means ensuring that you know, we keep building the collection and acquiring more and more things for the NFSA's collection. And that can be film or television, that can be radio, it can be music. Sometimes it's even games and all

Well added to it of just recent times.

Is this night's show?

No, is this marvelous bit of footage of Melbourne sporting history.

Tell us about it, Simon, Yes, Andrew, Look, it's really exciting for us because you know, there are so many people who just love the football and I love a football find with the best of them. And what we've recently been able to digitize, which was something from our collection, is the second half of the nineteen sixty four VFL Ground and Final. Now, of course, this is one of the most famous Grand Finals of the sixties. It was Melbourne versus Collingwood. It was a thriller, the lead changed

Really.

Yeah, that's fascinating. And this has turned up.

This has come from a former Channel line technician. Is that right, Simon?

Yeah, that's right, Andrew it did you know? I can say his name was Jeff Kilburn. For those who may know Jeff, he worked at Channel nine for a long time and he ended up at Channel ken after that. And Jeff was at GTV from nineteen fifty eight to nineteen seventy four, so at some point he's acquired these films. Now he's no longer alive, and I did speak to one of his daughters who wasn't sure why or how

However, it's quite amazing, isn't it, and Jeff, people wouldn't understand these because so much money has paid for the rights to forty But all four stations seven, nine and two were covering football in nineteen sixty four.

That's right, Andrew. It was a really unusual situation. You know, as many people know, television commencement in Australia in nineteen fifty six and by round one nineteen fifty seven VFL football was being broadcast and interestingly, guys for the first four years of football coverage, so from nineteen fifty seven to nineteen sixty the last quarter would be shown live

It is fantastic, what a great discovery, and what a great when I say great, great to have a Grand Final and the footage come to light, but great that it also contained such amazing features as you've just described to us, Simon, where do people go if they want to have a look at this and the article the great article you've written about it.

Oh, thanks very much, Yes, Simon, Yes, look if they'd like to go to our website, which is NFSA dot gov dot au. That's the National Film and Sound Archives website. It's on our front page there. As you said, there's an article there, and we've put together a highlights package of the third quarter and the last quarters. I think the third quarter we've got about eight minutes of highlights

All and glorious black and white. Thank you so much. Simon Argivis with the National Film and Sound Archive, do appreciate your calling in.

Thanks so much, Andrew and Simon. Have a good night.

Gooding your Simon, take care.

Twenty eight to twelve. This is remember when we are only moments away from the Man, aren't we we are.

We've got Tony McManus will join us shortly to tell us what's coming. For that, we've got time for calls. We want some calls on one double three six nine three. We've also got Morvin coming up in this. We're talking about yes, the Magic Man themselves. But earlier this evening we spoke to David Kilderry about the drive in Cinema and we would love a couple of calls. If you've got a fond memory or two of heading off to the drive in cinema, we'd love to hear.

Yeah, let's say about your driving experience. Say were you one of the people stuffed in the boot of an F J. Holden going to see a movie at the drive in? Whatever it is? One double three six nine three is the number. Twenty five to twelve. Remember when Andrew McLaren Simon I was with you. We're talking drive ins. Please one one one double three, I should say six nine and three text first before we get the call.

We're going to give the two GB number one.

You said, I'm sort of international nationals kind of field. Anyway, Vicky, good evening, Simon and Andrew. The first film I was or the drive in it was Greece. Sadly that driving, along.

With many others, is gone. Have great nighte guys. Thank you, Vicky.

Have a great night yourself. From Jeff Hi, Simon, and Andrew. I only went to a drive in once. I went to Hoyt's Oakley. On the way home, at large spider emerged the wind screen, which had obviously come out of a window.

Mountain speaker.

Oh well, scary you remember those things. I think you might have been just a kid too at the time. Yeah, one, level three, six nine three, and I was expecting I was really expecting drivings to come back. This is from Jaden after the COVID pandemic.

During and after the COVID Oh yeah, social distancing someone I never thought of it. Let's go to the movies, to go to the driving. It should could have could have happened, but didn't, but good thought. Well mate, thank you Jaden. Karen's in Altona Meadows.

Hello Karen, hi Angel silent taking year seventeen. My husband and I used to go to the Trec Road when I think it was in Treck and we'll do it maybe and it was fantastic.

I mean it's super.

First one we saw was ey either, which is good.

And I can't remember that.

I used to the chicka rolls and I think they were hot doughnuts actually, and chips that you used to get.

Yes, yes, it was always the hot cuisine. Wasn't there the drive in?

Yeah, well I mentioned before Karen. I went to the one Turner Trash and Treasure market and they still have the projectionists booth there with the canteen is still there. And I have to say the food was marvelous. Was the hot chips were amazing. They also did hot potato sweet potato chips burgers if you want them, and the food was really good. My memory, well, no, I did.

I can't agree, not as what I used to go to drivers there seemed to be the worst food and it always was in the steel trays which were illuminated by the sort of yellowy orange light that it used to be over the food, and it gave them sort of an almost sort of a nuclear glow to the treats that were under the lines. Anyone remember that, but that always seemed to be the horrible, well to me, a horrible color that the.

Food was presented to. Yes, thanks Karen Leann's in Minneapello, Leanne.

Hi, Andrew Simon, Greg and Ben. I remember going to matt Preville Driving which is in Sydney, and I was about four or five, and Mum used to say, want me to go to sleep in the back see because they were watching the movie We Had Down, We Head Down. But the one thing I remember the most was the

You've you've just mentioned Leanne that like the playground like the one in Greece. Yes. John Travolta sings that song Yeah Sandy because she's throwing the ring back at him. When he tried to get a bit fresh and yeah, and he walks along and sits on the swing. I remember that I'd forgotten that scene.

M hmm.

Yeah, yeah, that's the good one. That's my memory of Mattreville, which is no longer there, of course.

No, of course, yes, it's a sad pity.

But as I said before we were talking with David, wasn't it, yes, killed that the land that those drivings was on has become so expensive.

Yeah, so the rates would be would be paid. They were exactly right, Thank you, Leanne.

My.

I've been to the drive in a couple of times, but I only remember to movies that I definitely saw at the drive in. One was Ghostbusters in the nineteen eighties, and that was just sort of a special treat to go to a driving because it was it was something you don't do anymore, so we'll do it as a special treat. But I remember as a kid going with my next door neighbors to see Herbie Gohes Bananas. Yes, yes, one of those movies about that Volkswagen that develops a personality.

Yeah, well this is a big Disney movie, wasn't it.

Yeah, there was a couple of those, Herbie.

Slightly a few months older than you as I am. Yes, the main thing I remember going to the driving and seeing was rock and shock shows, where you'd see a horror movie with a rock movie. Yeah, so, and be on till about two o'clock in the morning, and half the time you'd be half asleep watching it.

Your doze off.

Eventually, YESLI was, oh, oh, the movie is twenty minutes on and you know into the movie that you hadn't realized.

I just had another thought. No, I remember taking the kids as an experience. So we had a Ford Falcon station wagon and we had rear facing seats in the in the back because we had were a family of six and a station wagon only seats five, so we got rear mounted seats looking out the back door. And I thought, this will be great. We'll go to the drive in that will reverse into the spot and the kids can sit in the back and we lift the boot and they watch the movie. Great idea, What a

That sort of problem with the with case there were there were inherent problems in drive in viewing with it.

Drivings are really only good for two people to go to them movies. The other time we went, I took the kids to see Madagascar. By then we had a little four wheel drive thing that had a sunroof, and so we popped the sunroof and the kids stood up on the back seat and looked out the sunroof. So we sat in the front and watched the movie. They stood up and it was great.

They loved that.

That was quite unique.

There we go.

Oh?

And you want it up a bit higher, a little bit.

Yeah.

I don't have your technical expertise. When you come into this studio.

I can have a look, but generally it just means it's stuffed. It's stuffed. It's stiff. That's happened. Well, it's stuffed. Would anybody report it? Thank god though, that it's not stuck at Pat Panetta levels.

Well, Pet uses it up very very high.

He does because he's incredibly tall, and it would mean that you could comfortably rest your nose on the desk, on the top.

Of the desk.

Just so the listener knows. We're blessed here at three A W Studios to have a desk that can be erect Yes, you.

Know it, so it can move up to chest tire. Yeah, I stand on a Saturday night when I'm doing Can I stand from midawns too? Yeah? I did not know that.

I'm trying to be healthier for you taking it well, I heard you. So you had a box of something dreadful for dinner.

I had half a bag of.

This is a real health receiver.

No, And I nearly ran off the road when you said it. I mean really nearly, thinking you really should be doing better than that in life.

Look, I normally would, but I came. I had a late So you're.

Both sitting here drinking Coca cola and or PEPSI.

Now this is not good.

You know this is coming from someone who bends the elbow with the wicked gray.

You're no longer working at a rock and roll radio station, Andrew churning out the hits.

Coke zero old man is out there, isn't it.

They're not at fourteen twenty two anymore.

I never was. I never did rock and roll.

And also Andrew, the man who will often say, just before I leave, are you're going to replash the chocolates before you go? It doesn't, but just the one and can you put them in a bowl? You've just said that on paper town. I can't be stuff going down to the other kitchen to get a bowl time I come into it.

Still disgrace the culture. There's joints just deteriorating as we speak.

You're lucky there's paper towel there.

But they're beautifully presented, you know, little pieces of chocolate which we are almost grateful, and.

Oh, very grateful.

I've had five tonight.

Well I heard you mention that, but I think you know it's all about you know, when food is presented to you at a restaurant, it's the food's got to be really good, but it's how it looks on the plate.

Oh yeah, my wife, it doesn't worry me that much, but Joanne becomes obsessed with that presentation.

Presentation is very very important. It's a bit like grooming yourself.

To me, it does matter. A roast meal was just served like the lamb with the potato on top and the beans on top of that.

That's fine.

I wouldn't worry about it at all.

Do you like big plates with little meals?

I love bleak plates with very very tiny porsche.
