I ended up here from the National Archives of Canada... Heyyo my Aussie friends. Having no context when watching this is freaking hilarious. I am happy to have found a channel that will give me an insight into my distant relatives. 🖖
At 11:57 PM on Friday 28 February 1975, Aunty Jack, Thin Arthur, and Kid Eager introduced colour television broadcasting on ABC-TV, beating another channel's first colour program by deliberately starting three minutes early...
Peter mccarthy Not Rory O'Donoghue! I was only watching the Aunty Jack DVDs this morning. Rory seemed like such a pleasant person, not to mention an exceptional musician. Another great entertainer fallen victim to depression. RIP
In 1975 this was Aussie humour , here we are in 2024 and it's all become reality. Aunty Jack even has a worldwide cult following and yet none of them/have ever heard the name. Some 50 years later and the world is more wacky than this (special hello to Canada 👋 and my distant relative (got a little chuckle out of that, cheers) . How did they know? Foresight? Premonition? Some of the plot and the lines, uncanny. SPOILER ALERT "It's changed him into a woman" "Pick on someone your own colour." " just to name a couple from many, Aunty Jack, them/they self, well there's a whole conversation unto its self. Graham Bond (All mighty cult leader)(aka Aunty Jack) I hold you solely responsible. It was you who laid out the ground work for our modern day dystopia. 🤪🙄
Might of been for adults at the time but I am eleven and the whole thing looks too fake to be for adults nowadays more of a preteen,kids thing nowadays

This was the first moment colour television arrived in Australia - this was the first show and its 'introduction'. We are a very strange country! :)
When Australia introduces Colour Television, it does it with profanity, violence, surrealism and cross dressing.....I love this country!!!!
Magic. I Loved Aunty Jack in the 70s ❤

motherarnold Well the part where the colour comes must be at 12:00.
just 8 years after US... seems like you were little bit outdated
I said in a comment I had posted (now deleted)
"I wish there were more details about the program in the description."
...
Dude!
You got my back! Thx 🥰
@@TiPiDablju We got a better colour system. PAL rather than the NTSC (never twice same colour) that the US had.
@@TiPiDabljuand we adopted metric before you. While you’re stuck well and truly in the past.
RIP Thin Arthur. Died earlier this week. What a talent.
Peter mccarthy Not Rory O'Donoghue! I was only watching the Aunty Jack DVDs this morning. Rory seemed like such a pleasant person, not to mention an exceptional musician. Another great entertainer fallen victim to depression. RIP
We watched it going up the screen, it was AWESOME!
Oh gawd, I remember this going to air for the first time. It was kind of lost on me at the time since we only had a B&W TV still. :-D
Yeah, I think most people only had B&W sets then :)
Did she jump thru yr set and rip yr bloody pink arms off..?
Mychael Darklighter
Well, the odd thing is that my arms were black and white back then too. Colour came later. :)
Met the actor of Aunty Jack recently!
So awesome and funny.
You Fr?💀
Rest in peace Rory my little lovely loved this show as,a kindy earliest memory
THIS SHOW WAS AWESOME TOO WATCH IN THE 70'S
2 Arthurs in this show! Thin Arthur and Arthur Beare!
How many countries were able to move into colour like this?
I think only us.
Brilliant... I remember Colour TV coming in & thought HOW AMAZING it was!
Did you have a colour set to watch it on?
No but my cousin did So it was great to watch

One of Robin Williams' favourite shows, according to imdb.

Good old ABC TV & Wollongong the Brave ❤🙂❤

This reminds me of Pleasantville!
And this is the clip that directly followed Aunty Jack's 'Introduction To Colour':

National Archives should have been able to put this in its original 4:3 aspect ratio instead of letting it stretch like amateurs. :-(
@meringandan Yes it was Gary Macdonald.
Norman Gunston
Dear old Aunty jack was wearing grey greasepaint, which is how he stayed black and white . . .
must have been a great time to be in your twenties!!!
3:54 #Martian
The pirate looks like Gary Macdonald anyone know?
No wonder Australia is in the trouble it is today.
And the ABC behind all the bull .... as well as usual
