Highly educational. Nowhere else would a kid learn that some tinpot town had its own telephone exchange. Points also for vocabulary expansion with words like 'intellectual'. Amazing that all mentioned would now be nearly 50. Hearing their name on TV would have given them bragging rights at school the next day. With home addresses so no one is in doubt.
The clip at 28:42 of the guy talking about rocks was the perfect length. I don't need anymore than that, but I'd have been disappointed if it were any shorter.
That guy used to teach us occasionally when I was in primary school, he was a great teacher who liked telling riddles that he called contrary puzzlements. He later got busted for massive Centrelink fraud. I wish there was more footage of his show.
Didn't they broadcast cartoons during the children's hour? (Flintstones (which aired in reruns on BTQ7 Brisbane and HSV7 Melbourne by 1980), Underdog, The Jetsons, Wacky Races, Space Kidettes, Magilla Gorilla, Looney Tunes (Bugs Bunny & Road Runner), King Kong, Super 6 etc...)
This is low budget to the extreme...these are the same hacks that read the news, the weather and the stock report. This sort of dross causes brain damage to growing kids.
Of course its low budget. Australia in the late 70s didn't have the sophistication and the techniques we have now in broadcasting. Things were being made up on the spot because of lack of funding and proper standards. And its regional TV, what did you expect? I miss this era of Australia, we were starting to grow up around this period but we still had the charm and innocence of yesteryear. Now? Everyone in the major cities has their head firmly planted up their own arses, Australians have become insufferable bores who get cues from America yet thing they are on this cultural level of the Europeans. In fact we still suffer from being 3 years behind everyone else in terms of trends, which makes the modern day Australian attitude even more embarrassing.
@@glencoe1266 What you say has a great deal of merit - but this video is a really poor piece of programming...instead of four blokes making a moronic hash of it, why not just have ONE person reading stories to the kids?

Who is the musician at the start?
Believe it or not Francisco, I made up the words and sang them over a pre-recorded music track.
It's John Cougar's Miami. His attempt at Rock Disco
