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. 🖖

This was the first moment colour television arrived in Australia - this was the first show and its 'introduction'. We are a very strange country! :)

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...

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. 🤪🙄
