The Graham Kennedy Show

1973

A 1973 episode of an Australian television variety series produced by station GTV-9 in Melbourne. Includes comedy sketches, singers, and the prize wheel. Guests include Jimmy Hannan, Linda George, Brian Doyle, Lorrae Desmond, The Ledgermen, Ossie Ostrich (a popular puppet), and Diane Horder. Some of the original commercials are intact, but most were cut out on the DVD release. There's tape damage at 33:18 which makes me wonder if part of the episode itself is missing. When this was originally broadcast, it was rated "AO" for adults only. When it was released on DVD, it was rated PG which in Australian terms is a very light rating (it's the same rating given to children's series like Beyblade). I don't know what it would be rated these days, though. I hope I am correct on the date, which is based on a TV listing in The Age. I am worried this upload will result in a copyright strike. Nine Network, if you want this removed, please let me know and I'll remove it.
